Thalapathy is the GOAT

Mix of all Tamil movies. Worthy scenes but it doesn't rhyme with the story. Too many loopholes

Movie starts with a bang. However the cascading scenes make us tired and creates a fatigue to watch further. Unnecessary casting. If you remove all the songs in the movie too, you can watch it without missing the story. Movie is running only for fanbase.

Violence scenes are to gore and horrific, even it is shown for few seconds on screen. I don't whose idea is to child violence in the movies. Pathetic.

The protagonist travels from one place to other but we don't understand purpose/logic behind the travels or for the useless missions.

Snapchat and insta filters was used in the first scene and most of the vfx work. VFX cringe was at peak. It was a ok movie not at all a greatest of all time. Nowadays high Background music and slow-mo walk became mass scene for the audience.

The movie struggles to rise above mediocrity due to its poor execution and ineffective narrative structure. The pacing feels uneven, and there is a noticeable lack of tension or curiosity to draw the audience in. As a result, the film feels disjointed and fails to sustain viewer engagement throughout its runtime. The storytelling lacks emotional depth, offering no significant moments that resonate or leave a lasting impression.

The visual effects, which could have been a saving grace, are underwhelming and do little to enhance the experience. Instead, they feel generic and poorly integrated, further diminishing the film's appeal. The director appears to have relied heavily on references and homages, but without a solid script to back them up, these efforts come across as shallow and uninspired. This lack of originality and creative direction is the movie's greatest shortcoming.

For fans of the lead actor, the film might offer a few moments of solace, but it's clear that this is not the strong, compelling performance they were hoping for. The unfortunate reality is that the movie fails to deliver on its promise and falls short of expectations, leaving even the most loyal fans struggling to find reasons to celebrate it.

Greatest of all time, GOAT, is a story of an Anti Terrorist Squad agent Gandhi. Story is a big word here as there is none. What we get is a 3 hour long drag fest of well knitted scenes backed by raucous music, flower pot female character and a generous sparkling of supporting characters.

Vijay as Gandhi and Jeevan was excellent and the de-aging technology worked well. Other than these two aspects, GOAT offers nothing else. The story, if any, is as predictable as sunrise. The needless call backs to Vijay's past movies were done to please the masses. They were abrupt .

The story never settles until the second half of Act 2 and suddenly we get a barrage twists, if which, you would've guessed most of them by that time.

Bottom line, this is not GOAT. This turned out to be a sheep.
