The Greatest of All Time

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 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.

This one is vijay thalapathy's one of the bad movie in last 8-10 years, i do watch each of thalapathy's movie, even in this movie he played his role so perfectly so can not give blame to him, but the writer & Director prabhu you should bare the blame, showing abroad countries, adding useless item songs, showing big actions in trailer won't work nowadays or never would be, simply there is nothing new, special or experimental, the young face of thalapathy animation was even worst we saw it better in one of surya's old movie, sorry but this was the worst of all time movie.

Please do better research, get a good story like some science fiction, new experiment, etc.

But don't let our hard earned waste like this...

Casts were well utilised but there is a slight drag in screenplay. Twists were working out only at that moment but failed to take the moment to momentum.

Villain role is not suited for Mohan. Though he is not a main villain but the entire story revolves around his revenge and so could have had a better villain who make impact with eyes & dialogues. De-aging worked out very well and its treat to watch "Ilaya" thalapathy.

Story like this require nail biting screen play for the audience to sit at the corner of their seats with interesting twists which gives turns in the story. Seems like director worked towards it but lost to the stardom.

Thalapathy is fantastic treat to watch in the screen.
