Wapakman

About This Movie

Wapakman is an interesting blend of action and comedy, with that distinct Filipino flavor. Directed by Topel Lee, the film stars Manny Pacquiao, which already sets it apart; it’s not often you see a boxing champion take on a superhero role. The pacing is fairly brisk, keeping you engaged with its over-the-top sequences and humor. The practical effects, though not always polished, offer a certain charm, especially when you compare them to modern CGI. There’s a lighthearted atmosphere throughout, but it also delves into themes of heroism and responsibility. Pacquiao’s performance is surprisingly earnest, and it’s fun to see him in a setting far removed from the ring. Definitely a unique entry in the superhero genre, reflecting a local culture.
