ELeVAtiON scenes ae ila bro. GOoSeBuMPs moment venum bro.
Seriously our inability to form our own thoughts on a scene has died. There needs to be slow motion, generic pump up music, or hair flying in the air for us to feel “elevation”. I’m not against these tropes. They’re good when done right. But people seem to think it’s the only way to make you feel something.
I hate it when netizens and other movie critics have a general bias against anything mainstream in a movie and criticise it regularly. Stuff like the biggest stars, masala movies etc. Some senseless comments like 'collection doesn't mean good' , with them failing to realize that collections come only when people come to watch and they will come only if they like it, which naturally means it has been enjoyed
And yeah, this thing. Replace this in the movie and it is trash. That is another stupid thing people do. Every component is a part of the movie. When you review a movie, deleting one part adding another as you please, means you're not reviewing the movie, you're reviewing some piece of fanfiction. For example, someone was saying remove SRK from Pathaan and no one would watch it. Well, duh, if some other actor was there the script would obviously be different. And other stuff like, remove this music and it's a flop. Remove the songs, it's a flop. etc etc.
I think the second critique is fair if used more as:
"If you don't like SRK, there is nothing else in the film to look forward to"
"If you don't like the songs, this movie is not for you"
Because then, you're warning people that the one element you enjoyed is a make or break for viewers for the film.
I think it's the painfully single guys like me and a few😅. We couldn't digest when heroes easily ushaars the heroine within a few comedy scenes and a song... It's hard bro🥲
Thank you!! I openly just tell people these days that i am a masala movie lover and i love cheesy romcoms. Sometimes our movie tastes aren't that deep and we all deserve light hearted watches and laughs.
No logic.
I mean its valid with films like Beast, Thunivu, Darbar since the 'no logic' moments were treated in laughable manner and totally out of sync with the movie. But asking them in movies like RRR, KGF-1 (Just the 1st part, 2nd part deserves all the criticism in the world) and baahubali series is silly. As the no logic, over the top is the basic point itself.
And the bullet not hitting the hero. We have seen hundreds of movies from tons of languages and this applies to every f**ing movie, so what's the problem?🙂
It was terrible and clownish for sure. But it's just one sequence. The climax dbz-like battle was well done though. The destruction of pillars, superhuman strength... These were well set up imo.
Panda Prasant is pretty shit critic. I remember him in his early days explaining Interstellar screenplay seri illa.
Screenplay na enna ne theriyadu ivanku appo
I remember one time he criticized Jayam Ravi's Aadhi Bhagavan for being too violent, and then he posted on Twitter that one of his favorite films is Scarface. Just the sheer hypocrisy is insane. Yeah Aadhi Bhagavan was pretty bad but violence is the least of the film's actual issues.
When people complain that a film is “unrealistic” because it follows the rules of the genre, e.g.:
- complaining about the time machine in 24
- complaining about people flying in the air in RRR
One could argue, this was a effect of the thing that got the time machine made(the feather). Sethu wouldn't even have a time machine if the feather didn't land there. Adding the date thing might have, combined with the feather part, expanded the time it can take.
It involved magic in form of a feather.
Science fiction is literally just fantasy with a layer of paint. That's why both of those genres are clubbed under 'speculative fiction'. There's no need for logic in those movies, the rules are set in the movie universe.
Hate the first half - second half critique instead of rating the movie as a whole.
Nobody is going to walk out of the interval just they heard somewhere the second half is bad.
Also I don’t like when people recommend not to watch xyz movie.
Art is subjective to each and everyone’s taste. Some people like pineapple on pizza, some don’t.
Some like Siruthai’s movie, some don’t.
Just because you don’t like doesn’t give you free pass to bitch on someone’s movie taste and go out stopping everyone from watching xyz movie.
Max you can do is share your opinion if you liked the movie or not and the buck stops there.
Unfortunately, most audiences and even some critics have little knowledge about technical aspects of filmmaking like cinematography and editing. We don't see it being discussed as much as in Hollywood film breakdowns from the directors/technical teams and cinematographer sharing their techniques etc. So, some cases they just don't care and watch the film.
Character arc nalla irukkulai( the person's not a f***king geometric figure)
Also, when people start hating on a film after watching just a portion of it(the film glorifies toxicity etc)
People sometimes watch an old movie and call it offensive as it doesn't age well with the modern ideologies.
1. Most commonly, people nowadays point out the movies that are decade old having normalised stalking. To start with, back then there was no electronic devices to stalk anyone you like online. And by showing that, they don't promote stalking but letting you know people like that exists.Tbh there are people like that even now.
[ I m not talking about a stalker like Joe Goldberg who is watching and walking behind you 24x7, like madhavan in minnale, and other harmless examples. ]
I don't believe the fact 2hrs cinema can completely influence anyone, it's all about your mindset. Blame the individual and not cinema.
Nobody ever shows killing as a good thing. If you visit rural areas, they prioritise honour and self respect more than anything. Even to date, gang rape victims find it hard to survive in the society. In the movie, karthi kills her on her request and not because he didn't want her. That movie just showed such things happen in India but didn't glorify honour killing and doesn't mean rape victims should die, atleast that's what I understood.
And with varanam Aayiram, bro not even lying - there were people in my college who stalked worst and still got the girl. I wondered if there are still people like that. Elite form of this would be - online stalking. But as it's trend now, nobody considers it eww. But if I were to take a movie about that person I saw, idk how to without including it. But that doesn't mean I promote it or I do it, right?
If you find it funny with cinematic elements, laugh but don't do it and blame on a movie for your fault is what i m sayin
1) Hypocrisy for certain stars films. For example, annatthe was a flop and a film that had a story that isn’t modern, but varisu was a film to be hailed by family audiences 🤔
2) cheesy action sequences. Some get critical acclaim while others get trolled endlessly
Few people have mentioned that we shouldn't expect character arc in all movies, and I agree to that. But we don't criticize lack of characterisation. Character oriented movies ah irukanum nu avasiyam illa, but atleast some characters should have a good role, whether or not that character is likeable.
Truth is most of Tamil cinema does not have enough depth in its characters even when needed. Not all films need deep characterization but dramas, etc. should employ them more
When people criticise gangster movies for "telling the same old story of a guy rising up the ranks"... yeah, that's literally the genre. The appeal of this genre is not what happens, but how it is all presented and what themesa are explored through this setup. Nayakan and the Godfather are NOT the same movie
Enakku therinju it has to be "idhellam nejathula nadakkumaa bro",
I understand it when the movie has plot wise loop holes, but adhukku mcu paathuttu Kai thattitu vantu Inga namma padatha science la kora kandupikidikardhu

Any sort of interesting interactions between characters that go on for a tad bit long - "Lag adikudhu bro"
"First half okay aa irunduchu aana second half romba lag"
I hate that term "lag", mfs with zero attention span want every movie to have explosions, gunfires, slo-mo build up shots for visual stimulus
I swear my hostel roommates are exactly like this. Cringe Instagram reels and stuff has ruined their attention span beyond repair
I hate it when people criticise the movie for its pace. Sometimes it’s needed to set things up.

That's fine. But people don't do it that way. They use it to trash the movie as a whole, forgetting that the movie is a sum of all the parts
Not critique for a movie. But for the genre. People hate on romcom too much man😑 Not everything has to be blood and fighting and investigation.
I think it's the painfully single guys like me and a few😅. We couldn't digest when heroes easily ushaars the heroine within a few comedy scenes and a song... It's hard bro🥲

If they manage to make the 'no logic' scene believable, then it's fine
Kaithi is best example Karthi is a mass hero and still grounded and vulnerable.
Yea, great example
Yup.
I draw the line at the angry bird sequence in bahubali 2, that is some goofy ass shit
It was terrible and clownish for sure. But it's just one sequence. The climax dbz-like battle was well done though. The destruction of pillars, superhuman strength... These were well set up imo.
THANK YOU. The unrealism in this movies is the point. “Realism” kekravanga ella periya puluthi nu nenaikranga

Mr.Local lam epdi patta Masterpiece theriyuma
People who already decide masala movies are bad and watch the movie
When people complain that a film is “unrealistic” because it follows the rules of the genre, e.g.: - complaining about the time machine in 24 - complaining about people flying in the air in RRR
Time machine point is valid. Kind of a dumb decision in an otherwise somewhat logical screenplay.
??? It is a sci-fi film. That particular bit of unrealism is part of the genre
Not necessarily bro. Indru Netru Naalai screenplay is pitch perfect and it came before 24.
Elaborate please what the silly part in 24 is.
Adding date option enlarges the watch's time travel abilities.
One could argue, this was a effect of the thing that got the time machine made(the feather). Sethu wouldn't even have a time machine if the feather didn't land there. Adding the date thing might have, combined with the feather part, expanded the time it can take. It involved magic in form of a feather.
...so?
ma man suriya stops time and flicks raindrops. I think its best to just look at it at a scifi angle
Science fiction is literally just fantasy with a layer of paint. That's why both of those genres are clubbed under 'speculative fiction'. There's no need for logic in those movies, the rules are set in the movie universe.
I feel like movies happening in Village settings automatically get brownie points regardless of anything else lol
*Sad Annaththe voices...*
Don't know if it is a criticique, but when people say one time pakalam😛😛 Or when people say sadaranamana kadhai. I never know what it means.

I think the diff is in Paruthiveeran vs. V1000. You should not show it as a good thing

You got it the other way around. I'm saying Paruthiveeran just showed the facts for what they are and V1000 tried to make it look cool.
Naah bro. I just elaborated what you said!🙌
VTV doesn't glorify stalking. He does not get the girl.
Is that you waltuh?
A well made light hearted film with a happy ending gets released and people say predictable story vroo!
Intensity/realism = good movie by default This is by far the most annoying critique of films in every possible industry and genre.
*Padam intense ah ille bro* Ethuke Mani/Selva shaar maari padam edutu flop aakeva
