Leo

Lokesh Kanagaraj once again proves his prowess in filmmaking. His name is enough to say that you would have a unique experience in the cinema hall. The single shot fight sequence at the factory made me to leave my mouth wide open for its entirety! I admire Lokesh for the efforts he puts to push the boundaries of tamil cinema.

Vijay really needs a round of applause for his performance and I really appreciate the fact that he agreed to do it in Lokesh's way. I never imagined that Vijay would pull of certain things as these are not something his typical film would have.

Throughout the film you could see the hardwork of the crew be it the cinematography, editing or the CGI. And the result as expected is top notch. Anirudh's score has received a lot of mediocre reviews. Even though it's not upto the mark, I really liked the score made for Arjun and Sanjay Dutt. It's kind of underrated in my opinion.

Having watched David Cronenberg's A History of Violence, I know the twists, turns and whatnot. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed Leo. Although I agree that the Das brothers were not intimidating enough and the flashback potion is written poorly, it is not something that would stop the film from being enjoyable.

Short Review: Good - Music, Stunts, Cinematography, Acting

Bad - Weak story, Weak villain

The whole movie was a character Intro forcefully extended into a film. Absolutely unnecessary.

Long Review: The Intro and biting into the movie was good. Fight stunts were really good (Vijay did his part well). But chase scene in the mid of movie was awful to watch with over the top physics and Many of the fight scenes were really exaggerated like 1 vs 1000 people, really stupid.

VFX on some scenes were really exceptional but in some other scenes (mid chase) were really awful to watch, looks like they rushed the post production here.

Cinematography in overall movie was done really great(Loki Trademark) even though the VFX failed in certain portions.

Story & Character building were absent in this movie which was the biggest disappointment that basically bored and killed the enthusiasm of the audience.

There was only one thing to which the Movie was hanging on to until the end i.e. If Leo is in LCU( Lokesh Cinematic Universe) or not. That's pretty much it.

This is Loki's worst movie in his career so far. One time watchable for the fans and nothing more.

I felt this movie is definitely better than Master but not upto Kaithi/Vikram level. More than 10mins could have been trimmed. The flashback scenes should have been shown as only glimpses because it did not justify the build-up. The build-up & hype for flashback was more than Rolex which the director failed to fullfill.

Still definitely - 7.5 to 8/10 Good to see Vijay is finally focusing on character rather than just flexing heroism.

Villain character were not strong as the background music. Could have added more scenes to it to justify their ferociousness.

LCU connect is just fine. Hope Lokesh has answers to all obvious questions from fans which may appear as forced scenes in the next part.

Please watch it to witness a different Vijay. 🔥 Terrific experience. Screenplay and BGM. Everyone says second half could have been a bit better. Even though it's actually true, the first half and the last 30 mins compensates for it.

The first 90 mins is bliss followed a bit mediocre 30 mins and a high octane terrific last 30 mins.

Positives: Vijay - It is not a regular Vijay movie. You won't see The regular body language, mannerism.

Lokesh's screenplay 🔥🔥🔥 Anirush music 🔥🔥🔥 Anbariv stunts 🔥🔥🔥 Negatives: Villains could have been better written.

So many known faces in the cast makes us expect more from them.

Overall : A Loki, Vijay, Ani & Anbariv sambhavam! 🔥

I would like to say this is a must watch theatre experience movie. We can see the best Vijay Film comparing to previous movies. I would like to give a big clap to Lokesh for giving a visual treat. The cinematography is brilliant and we can feel every scene and goosebumps overloaded. As always Anirudh was fire with his music. We can't imagine this movie without him. First half of the movie is very interesting because we get very much curious over every scenes. But the climax portion is not that much good from my point of view. The graphic designers worked very hard to make it realistic and also they achieved it. You have to watch the movie to find if this movie comes under 'LCU'. I'm saying again theatre experience is must for the film and if you miss that it will be a big loss for you.
