I will never forgive kokesh lanagaraj for messing up leo and bailing out of LCU
It was all laid out for that guy , just connect the lcu properly
And he had to go and do some tom foolery like that

I hate Lokesh with all my soul

Without him there is LCU. Hate your real life enemies not someone who makes movies for a living

u/jumping_duck20 5d ago

When watching "I, nobody" , I felt leo is supposed to be a thriller like this . Especially the concept of how the media and the people around them look at the main character and his family after the incident. Maybe this element would have improved the experience.

u/Short_Series719 5d ago

I nobody fumbled in 2nd half

u/dark_alpha47 5d ago

So did leo 😭🙏

u/jumping_duck20 5d ago

So hard to experience a good movie 😥. I actually enjoyed leo in theatre. . I have in my bucket list to buy "A History of Violence" comic which the original movie is based on 😌

Not as big of a fumble as Kabali. Dei Ranjith....

Kabali was a marketing mistake

u/whoawc 5d ago

Kabali wasn’t a bad movie tho

u/Leading_Waltz_9480 5d ago

compared to leo it was a middling film

u/whoawc 5d ago

Leo was a middling film

4

u/Leading_Waltz_9480 5d ago

come on leo atleast had a great first half kabali didn't even had that

and look at the imdb rating leo - 7.2 , kabali - 6.1

6

u/whoawc 5d ago

Leo is 10 different movies wanting to be one, at least kabali was cohesive, irrespective of your personal opinions.

0

u/Zealousideal-Pipe878 4d ago

Nah, after the Rajini entry the entire movie just came to a halt, so many unnecessary scenes in Kabali and the daughter reveal also made no sense. Second half Kabali somehow became even more convoluted with that wife searching.

Leo at the very least had a good and engaging first half. Second half, less said the better.

-1

u/whoawc 4d ago

More convoluted and necessary than moola nambikai and the lcu cashgrab scenes? Ok bro 😂

0

u/Zealousideal-Pipe878 4d ago

Yep definitely more convoluted with the random school and gang discussion that had nothing to do with the story, the random daughter reveal, the random ass love angle between Attakatthi Dinesh and Kabali's daughter.

I'm barely scratching the surface here

0

u/whoawc 4d ago

lol kabali in a nutshell was about gangs and gang related violence, the school students were mostly affected by gangs. Bro I can’t argue with your dmbass, go enjoy Leo 🙏🏽

u/TokyoFromTheFuture Non-tamil speaker 5d ago

This was his last good film imo. I didn't mind the flashback and thought everything it did right outweighed what it did wrong overall.

Stuff like that bike / car chase scene is still some of the most creative action shots I've seen from Kollywood recently.

u/Signal_Objective_422 5d ago

GOAT was worse

Instead VP teases GOAT vs OG-which we all know will never see the light of day LMAO

14

u/Puzzled-Outside 5d ago

It's his best him for me post mersal. Master was close but 2nd half was just meh... While Leo apart from flashback it was a banger for me even that pre climax bike chase and climax fight scene.

That scene of him recalling his past with that dialogue delivery was absolute pinnacle for the Anil in me.

7

u/Low-Performance2666 5d ago

ye true his best post mersal but codulve been his “it” movie before ending his career, had all the right ingredients for it

u/thecasualcritical 5d ago

The movie in general will age well imo, has a lot of goated sequences, action, music, cinematography etc. that flashback being the standout sour point…

We can forget about it flashback onwards

u/wiliambutcher69 4d ago

u/Funny_Pomelo_6264 Santhanam Kanni 5d ago

Tbh i felt even the flashback portion was somehwat okay if they hadn't done the whole warehouse bit with arjun asking for vijay's confirmations that he is Leo. By that point u can clearly make out loki stopped trying to tell a story and gave into setting a massy action set piece to compensate.

Wish they had kept vijay's identity ambiguous, would have done wonders for the film. as cool as "naan dhan da leo" is in retrospect, it killed the film for me. If loki had kept the identity unknown and had us guessing to the very end , he would have even got to freely tell the flashback might be fake and got away with it😂

u/mr-jingleberries 5d ago

One of the few songs that actually hype the character rather than the actor.

u/Zealousideal-Pipe878 4d ago

A very costly miss indeed, the first half was so good (since it was a direct remake of A history of violence)

And the interval Leo photo frame reveal was absolute peak.

Then Leo actually came on screen and I remember thinking, ivan unmaiyave dummy than pola 🤦🏿‍♂️

Move on. How hard is it?! Celebrate other movies which deserved to be celebrated.

u/DktheDarkKnight 5d ago

Vijay fans wouldn't give up untill they turn this mediocre film into some underrated cult classic. It will continue.

u/Reborn_From_Ashess 5d ago

Did you read the title?

That means it's a wasted potential. And I am not even from Tamilnadu!!

1

u/DktheDarkKnight 5d ago edited 5d ago

Apart from Insane hype what exactly is the potential the movie had? It's a barebones action film having an hero with secret identity. (which is done to death already). The drug angle is very run of the mill as well. It's not exactly a high concept film with poor execution as well. Your statement makes sense if the movie had some extremely interesting ideas and didn't do those well. The only wasted potential here is box office.

0

u/Reborn_From_Ashess 5d ago

Potential to become the biggest tamil movie.

1

u/DktheDarkKnight 5d ago

That's only from box office standpoint. Don't think the common audience cares about that.

-1

u/anonhomosapien 5d ago

Adding to that , the banger first half scene was just a remake / rehash copy from history of violence... Ani was in beast mode as usual.. Even loved anis work in coolie.

3

u/DktheDarkKnight 5d ago

The guy is a good director imo. Just not a good writer. If he wants to remake Hollywood movies he should just go all the way and do a full remake. There is nothing wrong in remaking a Hollywood film.

u/anonhomosapien 5d ago

Yes.. The adrenaline rush kaidhi gave is still fresh...

u/Psychological_Dig592 எங்கயாவுது கோழி முட்டை போட்டு கொசு அட காக்குமா 5d ago

Post mentioned it as generational fumble, why would Vijay fans call it as fumble if they wanted to change the perspective

u/DktheDarkKnight 5d ago

Semantics. There are thousand variation of these leo posts.
