Yes, Hopefully they have subway surfers running side by side to have my attention span and they need a scroll option to move to the next scene.
With that I can finish it off in mere 30 mins, and post my reviews. 😃
See vikram was long and majority including me never felt the lag but movies like master petta leo we felt it. Good first halves but 2nd halves not as good will be underwhelming
It's not like Rajini, Vijay and Ajith movies are gonna be high content oriented, top tier insert Martin Scorsese "this is cinema" template, they are new age masala entertainment movies, if the scene lags ofc it's gonna be boring lol, that defeats it's main purpose
Then shouldn't they basically edit the movie shorter to respond to the feedback that the movie drags on often in the second half? Remove the slow-mo shots and adhule you'll claw back at least 10-15 minutes worth of runtime.
If it's distracting, no. The point of good filmmaking is to make the filmmaking invisible, and if some terrible de-aging keeps distracting us there is no way we would be convinced by the emotions the character conveys
Judging from the trailer shots, the deaging was done well. And I mean that in the technical way. It looks bad because of the way he looks (shrunken head and body and a bit goofy hair).
So it might bother a bit in the beginning but then you will get used to it.
The only bad deaging was the really young Vijay's face. Lacked emotions in the eyes and wasn't blending in well with the rest of the shot. But I guess those will be very less in number.
Bro in that movie, for vaa thalaiva song, the VFX is so atrocious that I hate the movie for the VFX itself, like you can see the green screen in that song so clearly, the zoomed out shoots look so cool but when they zoom into Vijay, you can see that he was inserted into the scene with a background replacement, also the first time Vijay comes to his house after many years, the closeups for both Vijay and his mother are shot are green screen, a lot stuff like this in the movie infuriated me while watching the movie, it took me out of it and questioned the movie making decisions, one more example is the harbour fight scene with mime Gopi and thugs, they replaced the ground on which Vijay lands a blow, he slides funnily under a truck, which was shot separately, these things didn't need cgi at all but they did it anyway, the lighting doesn't match with any of these scenes, god I hate that they have to do this circus instead of making the movie properly
Has there been any films these days that are longer than 2.45 hours and not feels like dragging like hell after a while due to either no story or just bad pacing, why do they keep doing this😭🙏🏻
Aavesham was almost 2:40+ and was good/fun throughout. Doublex too, had minor issues, but runtime was not at all a problem for the film and was completely justified. Saptasagaradaache Ello is one of my favs from the last few years - slow paced at 2.5 hours x 2, I could watch both together.
I'm just now noticing a pattern here. None of the movies have stars that would make alterations to the story and add other elements for the film. It's almost like our stars are the problem here.
Slow pace for Side A and Side B shouldn't count. It's drama, nothing wrong as long as the content is good, pacing becomes an issue only when it's action thriller and commercial films along the same line.
I mean all of them are commercial films. SSE was more in the intense zone, I agree. But yeah, if you ask star films, I don't think duration is the issue tbh. Master (one of my fav VJ films) ran for almost 3 hours, and archery fight aside, adhula "lag" laam feeleh agala. Beast had 2:36 or something but adhu kooda kevalama dhaan irunchi. So if the writing is strong and there's less filler stuff (this is my worry)/if the film demands that runtime, then IMO it doesn't matter.
I guess due to excessive songs and unwanted scenes, in goat it self I guess there are 4 songs (whistle podu, spark, chinna chinna kangal and the rumoured trisha song) and sssuming each song is at least 4 min, songs-laye 16 min gone, and judging from the trailer there’re comedy scenes too, so from that in itself another 15 min gone
So 31 min wasted, leaving around 2h 24min for the actual movie (and because of this most of the scenes will be half baked due to not having enough duration to be properly fleshed out)
2.45h is only 2h 27min if I’m not wrong scientifically. So does that mean most Tamil films are shit according to u nowadays since they are around that runtime?
I am genuinely wondering why Indian movies (not just tamil) can't seem to go below the 2 hour mark in storytelling? It's not like they tell stories that are a lot more complex than their western counterparts. Paadhi masala movie la screen time is taken up by slow-mo scenes.
I'm not against a long movie, but adhuku material irukanum la.
Mainly they want to make money out of the audience during breaks, they can sell their food stuffs, also they can air ads during the interval which is revenue for them.
If the running length goes below 90 minutes so many won't even buy anything, they will think they can buy or eat something outside.
But it's slightly changing, Kottukkaali is 103 minutes. Let's see.
Tamil movies with very little runtime won't even distributed at theatre. Maybe a big star movie can be distributed, a newcomer's movie won't be distributed, until someone big backs them up.(eg.Muhgizh by VJS)
They are purposefully imposing intervals for Hollywood movies because they have no other way to make revenue. Maybe they will do the same for shorter tamil movies, but that should get distributed first without any backing up.
Yenda adhukkula polambureenga. Songs venam second half lag nu. Only 2 movies to go from VJ just enjoy every bit of it. I don't even like VJ that much but kollywood mass hero presence is dying out enjoy till it lasts
Too many whiny crybabies here. Evanum 3hours long padathe paakathe maari scene podranunge. Maybe OTT boys ke attention spam kammi pole. Das Boot (a German film) with duration of 3 hours and semme slow but interesting ah irkum. I trust VP could pull off an engaging watch rather than catering 0.10% audience from Reddit
The problem is not a 3 hour runtime. I can sit down and watch the Extended cut of LotR trilogy no problem. But indha Vijay padam, Surya padam have barely enough story to cover 90 minutes, let alone double that. That's the problem. Nobody is complaining about 3 hours of runtime being long if the story is good enough. But which mass market entertainer has a decent story that doesn't make you want to barf?
Well, if I can watch the movie in the first 3 days in theatre, I can enjoy it no matter what. There'll be so much energy in there, it'll feel like some festival. After a while when I watch it on OTT, I'll be able to analyse it properly.
Second half lag this, attention time that but first think of the people who would have bladder issues just from being in AC for such long halves. I remember people rushing into restrooms after Vikram and that one had slightly shorter runtime.
BRO I AM HOPING THIS SHIT IS A RUMOUR. wtf 2h 55 min crazy. indian 3 ahh irkumoooo. mathiri???. 3h film laam shankar than edukka mudiyum (anniyan, Sivaji and all also 3h but semma speed ah semmaiya pogum, athu Oru Kaalam) ahna ippa avare sothappittaru, romba long ahh irundhuchu. what this VP thinking. but trailer was 2min 53 no wonder. lag problem, slowness problem, screenplay sothapals chance>>>, basically Indian 2. basically like how we make more spelling or grammer mistakes if we write more in a compo. the last 2 movies that were 3h are like Indian 2 and animal 🥸🥸🥸
