On September 5, the much awaited film GOAT, which stars Thalapathy Vijay and was directed by Venkat Prabhu, opened in theaters. The excitement on social media is evident. Both critics and fans have responded to the film in force, swarming Twitter with compliments, memes, and in-depth analyses. A lot has been expected of GOAT (an acronym for “Greatest of All Time”), and the first reactions from viewers seem to indicate that Vijay’s star power may have lived up to the anticipation.
Vijay’s Star Power Shines Bright
Renowned for his captivating on-screen persona and adaptability, Thalapathy Vijay continues to demonstrate why he is one of the most adored performers in Tamil cinema. Twitter users have been gushing about Vijay’s performance, praising his enthusiasm, line delivery, and emotional range in particular.
Many tweets express the general consensus that Vijay gave one of his greatest performances to date in GOAT, making the movie a must-see for his followers.
“Thalapathy Vijay’s performance in the first half was a solid 4.5/5, and the second half was a perfect 5/5,” tweeted a user going by the handle @MahilMass. The conclusion is outstanding!” Many other people have agreed, praising his ability to make the movie seem better even in its weaker scenes. Vijay’s action sequences, which have been called “power-packed” and “stylish,” have also received accolades in addition to his performance.
Mixed Reactions
Though most people have praised Vijay’s acting, opinions about the GOAT’s story and screenplay have been more divided. Some critics and viewers have criticized the opening part of the film as “a bit of a snoozefest,” pointing out that it could have been more interesting. @nayagan97 tweeted, “First half is a snoozefest.” The slow plot cannot be salvaged by Vijay’s star power. Major improvement is required in the second half.”
Nevertheless, most people agree that the movie takes up steam in the second part, building to a “interesting” finale that captures viewers’ attention. Netizens have talked about the movie’s climactic sequence in particular, with many considering it to be one of its best scenes.
Guidance and Technical Mastery
Renowned for his distinct storytelling approach, Venkat Prabhu has drawn praise and criticism for his direction in GOAT. Some viewers value his endeavor to combine commercial components with an original story that aims to eschew clichés found in Tamil cinema.
“#GOAT #TheGreatestOfAllTime #Thalaivar #Rajinikanth song kadhalin deepam ondru in the movie ️.” This tweet illustrates the director’s attempt to maintain storyline quality while adding features that appeal to a broad audience, like musical numbers and fan-favorite references.
Regarding technical aspects, the movie has received praise for its editing, music, and cinematography. The background music and the expertly coordinated action scenes have been cited as the two main advantages.
Like every significant release, GOAT has elicited a range of responses from the public, from enthusiastic applause to scathing disapproval. Fans have been posting their favorite lines, scenes, and moments with the hashtag #TheGreatestOfAllTime, which has become trending. “Enjoy Sean and Jennifer,” tweeted @SachinC_10. “#TheGreatestOfAllTime #ThalapathyVijay,” expressing admiration for the ensemble actors and their roles in the movie.
Not all comments, though, have been positive. Some have criticized the storyline and tempo for being uneven and voiced dissatisfaction. The first half of the movie lacks the energy one would anticipate from a Vijay starring, as @nayagan97 pointed out, and it seems like the story should have been wound more tightly. Nonetheless, despite these critiques, people tend to agree that Vijay’s performance and the movie’s ending were memorable moments for the audience.
