Movie Reviews

High expectations will disappoint you. Weakest of Lokesh's career.

Short Review: Good - Music, Stunts, Cinematography, ActingBad - Weak story, Weak villainThe whole movie was a character Intro forcefully extended into a film. Absolutely unnecessary.Long Review: The Intro and biting into the movie was good. Fight stunts were really good (Vijay did his part well). But chase scene in the mid of movie was awful to watch with over the top physics and Many of the fight scenes were really exaggerated like 1 vs 1000 people, really stupid.VFX on some scenes were really exceptional but in some other scenes (mid chase) were really awful to watch, looks like they rushed the post production here.Cinematography in overall movie was done really great(Loki Trademark) even though the VFX failed in certain portions.Story & Character building were absent in this movie which was the biggest disappointment that basically bored and killed the enthusiasm of the audience.There was only one thing to which the Movie was hanging on to until the end i.e. If Leo is in LCU( Lokesh Cinematic Universe) or not. That's pretty much it.This is Loki's worst movie in his career so far. One time watchable for the fans and nothing more.

Could've been better!

Leo is Vijay's most hyped film of his career. Unfortunately this movie ended up as a mediocre. Vijay fans would enjoy this film but as someone who've watched Kaithi and Vikram. Leo is not even near those 2 films. This is definitely not a 100% Lokesh film, everyone expected it to be like Vikram, Kaithi but it was actually another Master. I felt like Master was better tbh.Lokesh wasted so many roles like Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Anurag Kashyap, Mysskin. Their roles had no depth at all like any of his previous film characters like Santhanam, Amar, Anbu had so much depth.LCU looked forced and unnecessary for the film, this film had nothing to do with LCU since this movie had no reason to be in it.Flashback was just too short, it had no logic, and the emotional scenes didn't work tbh.I dont know why directors always do this to Vijay.When it was Beast we expected a movie like Doctor but he gave a disaster. When we expect something like Vikram , Lokesh gives us an Indian John Wick, WHY?No matter how many theories or explanation Lokesh gives, the mistakes in Leo can't be undone Just move on.Leo: 6/10.

LCU - used to fool audience

Lokesh tried to fool audience with the hype of LCU. He tried to justify the expenses done on Hyena CG scenes. But I was unable to connect with that scene. Story or characters were not established yet. I was like what are you trying to do with this scene. If hyena was a metaphor of his character, then why movie name or his name is Leo? It could have been Hyena itself. Sandy, Mysskin and Vijay's cafe scenes were the best in the movie. It is the worst adaptation or remake of History of violence. Almost Parthi took the whole movie to reveal that he is indeed Leo, unfortunately entire audience know that he is only Leo, so there was no suspense or surprise in that revelation. They rushed to write the story and film it and release as promised. But they failed big time in the quality of the story and making. Human sacrifice was your best find to push Leo away from his family? Senseless writing. Could not feel Anirudh's presence in BGM. What was with Vijay's hairstyle?? Really!!?? The comment is not about him wearing a wig. With wig, you have more choice to come with better looks. May be they thought to bring Lion's hairstyle but terrible choice. There was no story to drag it for almost 3 hours. Lokesh needs to spend more time in writing. It doesn't matter that you take inspirations or copy from English movies. People always welcome quality movies. These type of movies should fail in box office for the betterment of tamil cinema. Otherwise more movies will come with hype and collect money just with the cast/crew names. Fans should not encourage these movies just because it's your favorite hero's movie. Support good movies and kick the rest away.
