To me, it's not a disappointment, but rather, could be made better.. perhaps exploring some of the malay keris forms such as the tajong, coteng.. the distinct terengganu malela, etc.. the use of javanese keris in some of the re-enactment scenes could be improved.. there was an instance, where a keris collector showed what seems to be a javanese naga piece with gold-work, talking about the origin of kinatah/tinatah works.. while here we are talking about malay legends, malay keris.. hmmm..
