The same issue like previous Vijay movies since Mersal, promises so much, only to flatter to deceive

And it's usual Thalapathy show all the way, he tried as hard as he can to save the day, by donning the Ilayathalapathy character as well, but the script offered him only so much, after a point, it's exhausting.

Rest of the cast have got absolutely nothing character or story wise, but the most laughable character is Meenakshi's, even GK character was better than this.

Technically, it doesn't feel we are watching a big budget movie, shaky cinematography, movie needs serious trimming of 20-25 minutes, action was fine in bits and pieces, Yuvan's work is outright disaster, neither the songs worked nor BGM, horrible. De-ageing looked decent, but the VFX and production values are average.

Coming to Venkat Prabhu, on paper, this looks a good idea, 1st half was decently engaging, but second half was below par. Few meta references, cameos worked, but this needed MANKATHA Level direction.

Bottomline: Watch it if you wanna see the sinister side of Vijay.

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.

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...

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.

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.

This movie is a fun packed entertainer with good screenplay and top notch acting by the cast.

POSITIVES : Engaging screenplay, good twists, Yuvan's BGM, excellent cinematography, good humour, Thalapathy's acting is very versatile in this movie, Thalapathy's dance.

NEGATIVES : The climax was a bit too draggy, the VFX in certain scenes was not very appealing.

FINAL VERDICT : A good family entertainer with crisp screenplay and good storyline. A must watch in theatres for sure !

There are a lot of references in this movie which has worked out very well ! Mr. Venkat Prabhu , you have done it again !

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Source: Nil Media Partner: Netflix The movie starts with great bang, Vijayakanth AI recreation was ultimate. It helped very much. The movie has good exciting moment in the first few scenes and last few scenes. In-between it become so predictable and filled with some cringe surprises.

The De-Aging (especially around Lip area) killed lot of mass moments. Just because of De-aging, the mass moments are miserably failed to young Vijay but Old Vijay is ultimate to watch. Guna movie reference is top notch Cringe, just because of this De-Aging.

The excitement ends when the intro song over and it started again when climax Matta song starts. The first half is so predictable. The second half looks lengthy, but managed with cameo and surprises.

Mohan is big miscast, another miscast is Yuvan. We missed Aniruth in lot of places. There were more claps/excitement from audience for old BGM than the current movie BGM.

One time watchable because of Vijay.

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.

Venkat Prabhu, known for his unique style in Tamil cinema, once had a distinct touch that won over audiences. However, his recent ventures seem to suggest otherwise. The decline in his storytelling, direction, and overall execution is evident, leaving many to wonder if he has lost his golden touch.

When it comes to cinema, hype plays a significant role. Some movies are massively marketed, creating an inflated sense of expectation. However, there are times when films fail to live up to that hype, and Venkat Prabhu's recent movie is an unfortunate example of this. Fans of the director, who once brought innovative films like *Chennai 600028* and *Saroja*, were left disappointed with his recent release, which can easily be described as one of the worst in his career.

First and foremost, the lack of a coherent screenplay was glaring. A movie thrives on its screenplay-it's the backbone of any narrative. Without a compelling and structured storyline, even a star-studded cast can't save a film from falling apart. In Venkat Prabhu's recent outing, the screenplay felt disjointed, with no clear direction. The audience was left wondering where the plot was headed, and that's never a good sign. Several scenes seemed like they were written just to fill in time, lacking any purpose or contribution to the overarching narrative. It became increasingly frustrating to follow a story that seemed to meander without any sense of purpose or focus.

Furthermore, the dialogues lacked the spark that was once synonymous with Venkat Prabhu's films. His earlier films were known for witty lines, cultural references, and a blend of humor with emotional depth. However, this time around, it felt forced. There were moments where the dialogues felt unnatural, and rather than drawing the audience into the story, they only served to alienate them further.

Another critical aspect was the music, which was incredibly disappointing. Music often plays a crucial role in the success of a film, especially in Indian cinema, where songs are a vital part of storytelling. However, the songs in this film were far from memorable. It's almost shocking to see how the music, usually a strength in Venkat Prabhu's films, fell flat here. The tunes were generic and lacked the energy or emotion necessary to resonate with the audience. They felt like mere fillers, thrown in to check a box rather than enhancing the overall narrative. It begs the question: has Venkat Prabhu lost his touch in selecting or directing the music in his films?

Moreover, the performances of the actors couldn't salvage the film either. While the cast had some recognizable faces, they seemed out of place, and it was clear that they were struggling to work with the weak script. The lack of chemistry between the actors was palpable, and it was difficult to connect with any of the characters on screen. This was surprising, especially considering Venkat Prabhu's previous ability to bring out the best in his ensemble casts. The entire movie felt like a missed opportunity.

In a world where audiences are increasingly looking for fresh, well-told stories, the film was outdated. The usual charm, wit, and creativity that once defined Venkat Prabhu's movies were glaringly absent. One might even argue that he is stuck in a time warp, still banking on the elements that worked for him a decade ago, without realizing that the audience's taste has evolved.

All in all, this film stands as one of the worst not just in Venkat Prabhu's career but in recent Tamil cinema. It wasn't worth the hype it garnered, and for those who went in with expectations, the disappointment was evident. It's a film that will likely be forgotten in no time, and one can only hope that Venkat Prabhu takes this as a learning experience and returns to the form that made him a beloved filmmaker in the first place. His latest venture GOAT leaves us wondering: has he truly lost his touch.

The greatest of all time . The film stars Vijay in dual roles in the lead, alongside an ensemble cast of Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Ajmal Ameer, Mohan, Jayaram, Sneha, Laila, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Vaibhav, Yogi Babu, Premgi Amaren and Yugendran. The film follows Gandhi, former leader of a special anti-terrorist squad, who reconciles with his squad members to address the problems which were stemmed from their previous actions. Filming locations included Chennai, Hyderabad, Pondicherry, Russia, Thailand, United States, and the climax being shot at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram which was wrapped by late-June 2024. The film has music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, cinematography handled by Siddhartha Nuni and editing by Venkat Raajen.

PS: I am biased to MSD, CSK, VP.

It's very difficult to cook an agent movie with a star hero in the South. Vivegam came close but it failed to appeal to all the sections (I like Vivegam btw). We dont even want to talk about Spyder.

So, VP and AGS smartly cooked it safe, made it appealing for everybody, promoted the movie saying the same thing, did not give it much hype, added cameos, did fan service, maintained the graph throughout so that everybody comes out with a satisfactory feeling.

Did the movie has flaws? Of course, yes. But, it doesn't matter as long as you want to just have some time pass fun and leave the theatre.

I wouldn't watch it for a second time barring few good scenes here and there. But, for a onetime watch time I would recommend.

Glad for VP as he didn't lose his touch yet unlike his contemporaries. He is still in form.

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.

Lets start with Negatives First !

Cliché story ,Weak songs and VFX is down in some areas and if you want to consider Logical elements ; Please Guys Don't watch this ,Watch something else !

But I got Entertained Well ! How you wondering ? Lets talk about positives then : Fast Paced Screenplay ,Cameos Impressed , De Aging Technology Using is Superb , Terrific Dance choreography ;especially for the #matta Song , Decent BGM work and good Actions and Over all Neat making by #VenkatPrabhu !

& AMUSING Performance of #vijaythalapathy is for me the Biggest Positive ; Especially Younger role is Fantastic !

Commercial movies like this does not need to have a lot of Great elements ,it must have Enough to Entertain us, i got Plenty and i Liked it !

Look like #vijayanna got another Blockbuster on Cards !! Hopefully It will be.

Venkat Prabhu's movies have either been a big hit or a big miss. So when vijay joined hands with VP in his pen ultimate movie before his political entry,it was either going to be in the top leagues like mankatha or in the bare bottom like mass.

Just like every vijay movies nowadays, the hype was surreal.

The movie begins with the squad going on a mission somewhere in Kenya. After the usual opening fight sequences what follows is a tiring family moments (made for the family audiences)which could have been made better.

The first half faces a lag with predictable screenplay but the peak point of the movie is the final 40 minutes or so ,where it keeps your adrenaline pumping throughout with delightful cameos and twists .. The big letdown though is yuvan's bgms and songs. Especially the spark song. It's so unnecessary that it interrupts the flow of the movie.

Vijay does his best portraying the duo of father and son. The supporting cast like every other vijay film has little to do.

Overall the movie is a fun watch especially the second half.

UGH! URGH! EURGH!!!

Where do I begin?

An intelligence officer takes his pregnant wife and child on a holiday alongside a mission? Wow. His boss was okay with that? Wow. Son is kidnapped and they find a badly burnt body and dude assumes it's his son coz they find his son's bag in the van? Hello? Post mortem, anyone? Sound familiar?

Fellow dudes tell the first dude "It's nobody's fault" after the whole fiasco. Uh, hello? Totally the first dude's fault for taking his family along. Who even gave him a job at the intelligence unit, in the first place?

For a team of Intelligence officers who were supposed to hide the fact from their own families, they sure do tell everyone they meet that they are from the "SATS". That makes total sense, doesn't it?

Son is miraculously found and there's no inquiry, no background verification. They just bring him home on the next flight. Sure, why not?

Fast forward to the end - Sonny dude is cuffed , but not locked to the damn interrogation table. Fellow dude comes into the room waving his gun, standing so close to the sonny dude. I'm sure nobody expected sonny dude to grab the damn gun and shoot the fellow dude. Nope.

Fellow dude 2 (who's actually a traitor) just kicks the door of the interrogation room, and lo behold - the door breaks. The door of an interrogation room at a secret intelligence unit breaks with just one kick? Hmmm.

Oh, and I could smell every "twist" coming from a mile off. Nope. Just, NO!!!

UGH!!!

I have always enjoyed Vijay films. But in my opinion, this movie and Beast are the worst of his career. I will forever call this movie the worst of all time (woat ).

Vijay has so many cringeworthy dialogues and scenes. He imitates so many actors and it's embarrassing. Dude. Do you no longer have your own style or mannerisms? He copies Rajini, of course. Then, Sivaji, Kamal, Prakash Raj, and Shahrukh. Ridiculous. Glad Vijay is retiring from films. He no longer has anything to offer but endless copying and cringe.

Gandhi character was ok. But Jeevan character was so cheap - dialogues and all felt like b grade. As usual, heroines have nothing to do in a Vijay movie. Songs and BGM are a huge letdown.

Was good to see Prasanth in a film after so long. He has done a good job. Prabhu Deva too. Mohan was miscast. He looked like a buffoon and not as the antagonist. Movie was so predictable and dated

Overall, this movie has nothing to offer. And is 3 hours of Vijay for his fans. Nothing more. Still better than Indian 2 though. 😂

GOAT: Finally Vijay delivers a massy action and a family entertainment, with plenty of comedy elements. He has delivered his career best acting in this movie, with variety expressions and emotions, and it's a feast to his fans. Venkat Prabhu shows the antagonist with a strong backstory and connects different elements together. Music is a big letdown and songs come abruptly. Three songs could have been cut, but the plot keeps you hooked.

Action sequences are shot well. Comic timing is spot on, and certain scenes are hillarious.

It's a complete family and action film barring few atrocious scenes which are not kids friendly. Go watch it as it's "Anna Yaarudi, THALAPATHY". He is back!
