The Greatest of All Time

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.

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.

The movie feels like it was made primarily for the fans, with little attention given to crafting a compelling storyline. Unfortunately, the plot is quite weak, failing to engage the audience effectively. The background music (BGM) doesn't add much value and lacks the impact that could have elevated key moments.

Visually, the movie also falls short, with subpar makeup and VFX that don't meet expectations, leaving certain scenes underwhelming. There are some cameo appearances, but they do little to lift the overall experience.

In conclusion, the movie is an average offering that serves as a one-time watch. It's clear that fans might appreciate it more, but for the general audience, it doesn't deliver anything exceptional.

The Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) is filled with so many surprises, thanks to Venkat Prabhu's amazing screenplay that never leaves you bored. Thalapathy Vijay's remarkable performance and his screen presence stands out. His swagger and comic timings make us captivated. The execution of the film's action sequences is excellent. This film's final 40-minute climax is among the best I've seen. There are lot of twists and turns particularly in the second half of the movie. This film is a complete package commercial entertainer and it is repeat worthy. Everyone should see the movie at the cinemas to enjoy the theatrical experience.
