    Waste of time and energy

    One of the worst movie, I have ever seen in my life. There is no story at all. Only Ajith sir presence makes film to watch. Unnecessary elevation shots and irrelevant references and songs with movie. Only fans can watch this movie, just to shout and let their throat get damage. Nothing will connect with general audience and family. If you want to shout with your friends, you can watch this 2 and half hours, insta reel. Such a worst direction done by Adhik ravichandran, he fools the fan and audience by adding retro songs and old movie references. If we continue to encourage these kind of movies, our kollywood would never make a best PAN indian movie like other industries. My sincere request to directors that is to focus on story and content. Don't focus on the hero's fanbase. Try to make some quality films.

    Ridiculous and Dumb

    This is gonna be short review, as nothing worth a praise can be said about this brainless action movie. Even for Ajith Fans, they should devoid themselves from watching a underwhelming action movie with no story or charisma whatsoever.

    The movie seems like a slideshow of Ajith beating the hell out of villains with over the top action and making his fans happy on the cost of baseless product that runs for 135 minutes.

    Totally a skippable movie and a big disappointment. I wish I could get my valuable 2 hours back. There are lots of other good movies, be it action or amy other genre, watch them again instead of this.

    My Rating : 3/10.

    Peak Brainrot

    This movie is equivalent to watching 60 instagram reels. More brainrot than reels.

    From the beginning, the unwanted over hype to the character spoiled the movie to the core. And he just walks, talks. Does absolutely nothing, over hype overkill. Every character was ill developed, no character had good acting. Even Ajith Trisha acted insanely bad and worst in their career. Every actor had only one line of character and they stuck to it. Peakest BS was the son character.

    "Movie for the fans" - please do not make stupidity a thing for fans. We fans like good acting from our favourite heroes, good script selection from our favourite heroes and overall good cinema from our favourite heroes. Mass is not everything. And... this kinda mass is not worth looking at.

    Adhik's AK

    The story's got a few bits that'll tickle your fancy, nothing mind-blowing, but not a total dog's breakfast either. The narration's proper lively - classic Adhik Ravichandran stuff - flashy, loud, and full of beans.

    The screenplay tries to throw in a few curveballs - some land with a bang, others just fizzle. The first half? Quite the cracker. Second half? Bit of a snooze-fest, if we're honest. The climax saves it from going completely pear-shaped. Ajith's die-hard fans will be chuffed, no doubt, but for the average punter, it's just a middling watch.

    Ajith's smashing in a role that fits him like a glove. Trisha's looking like a right stunner and puts in a tidy performance. The rest of the gang do the job, no faff, no fuss.

    The background score's got some kick in a few scenes, not too shabby. Cinematography and production design? Decent enough - nothing to write home about, but not half bad.

    All in all, give it a go this weekend if you fancy a bit of popcorn and telly - just don't rock up with sky-high hopes.

    Ajith's Charisma Can't Save a Flawed Second Half

    "Good Bad Ugly" (2025) delivers a high-octane first half that serves as a thrilling tribute to Ajith Kumar's star power, but the film's second half stumbles, ultimately falling short of its initial promise. While Ajith is terrific and the film caters to his fanbase, its narrative inconsistencies and forced elements detract from the overall experience.

    Ajith Kumar is undoubtedly the film's biggest strength. He commands the screen with his charisma and delivers a performance that will undoubtedly thrill his fans. The first half is fast-paced and energetic, showcasing Ajith's action prowess and screen presence in a way that feels like a well-crafted tribute to his filmography.

    However, the film's narrative begins to unravel in the second half. The plot becomes convoluted and lacks the focus of the first half. Forced elements and contrived situations are introduced, disrupting the flow of the story and making it feel less organic. The pacing becomes uneven, and the film struggles to maintain the same level of excitement and engagement.

    While the film offers plenty of fan service, catering to Ajith's established image, it comes at the expense of a well-rounded and compelling narrative. The supporting characters, while competent, are often underdeveloped and their motivations remain unclear.

    The film's technical aspects are generally adequate, with decent cinematography and a fitting soundtrack. However, these elements cannot fully compensate for the film's narrative shortcomings.

    Overall, "Good Bad Ugly" (2025) is a mixed bag. Ajith Kumar's terrific performance and the fast-paced first half are undeniable strengths. However, the film's messy and forced second half prevents it from being a truly satisfying cinematic experience.
