A waste of 90 minutes of my life

My son, who was 8 when this came out, loved this movie. He had been excited to see it as soon as the trailers started appearing in 2013. We saw it in 3D in Hindi which was not our preference, but it was all that was available in our area.This is a good story, it's well told and yes, the animation is a bit stilted, which is odd considering it's motion capture.However, the highly stylized look of the film works because it is a myth/fantasy/saga.It was also really wonderful to see Rajnikanth in this sort of role again, which he can't play anymore in live action due to his age. Rajnikanth is great in this as is Deepika. The story is solid. The fight sequences wonderful. The look and feel of the entire piece is fantastical. And my son loved it. He thought it was one of the better movies he saw this past year. I really enjoyed it too.

Only Rajini Fans LOVE this CARTOON !!! (this is NOT 3D !! ) Anyone who calls this 3D GRAPHICS is BLIND AS A BAT or just plain liars !!Comeon guys please be honest and just say that this is a CARTOON !!!Even Deepika Padukone (Actress in this movie) is FURIOUS WITH RAJINI for making her FACE LOOK WEIRD in this movie. And so she has NOT SUPPORTED THIS MOVIE, after it was released (her face really looks weird!!!).Rajini's daughter thought that 3D GRAPHICS IS SO EASY !! Well its NOT. It took JAMES CAMEROON's AVATAR(2009) $US200++ MILLION to make a REALISTIC 3D ANIMATION, Because PERFECTION IS VERY EXPENSIVE. Rajini's daughter must have used some lousy/CHEAP GRAPHICS companies to make this... thats why it LOOKS LIKE SOME CHEAP CARTOON. This Kochaidaiyaan CARTOON looks like the quality of the USUAL MAHABARATA CARTOONS that India has been making for YEARS!!After ENTHIRAN, Rajini had some good name... but NOW KOCHADAIYAAN has made Rajini into a JOKE. My NON Indian friends are REALLY FUN OF THIS MOVIE. I'm really SAD FOR RAJINI.

Kochadaiiyaan, movie based on performance capture technology is definitely one of its kind and opens new door for movies which are expensive for real time making.The Strength of the movie is its magnificent plot and witty dialogues written by K.S.Ravikumar. This movie revolves around the plot that everyone one of us has enjoyed listening or reading to.Having a strong story in hand, Director Soundarya has conveyed it appropriately to audience using best of the techniques, with the help of A.R.Rahman's lively music.Above all, it was SUPERSTAR Rajinikanth's charisma that has helped a lot for portrayal of lead characters in the movie. Without his star power this movie would have found hard to reach the audience.I don't find it necessary to criticize on the graphics part of any movie. As long as the story and the characters are good, its okay to bare with graphics. All movies that rely on technologies will need improvement.Except for some songs and dragging battle scenes in second half, this movie will keep you engaged and entertained thoroughly.Having watched it thrice already, Kochadaiiyaan will be labelled as HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.!

On the whole for the movie, I would only give 7/10, but I rated it 9/10 only because it was extremely thoughtful and bold to make a movie of this kind. A lot of the characters in the movie are wasted. More than a storyline as such, the movie is a celebration of the great Kochadaiyaan Ranadhiran and the principles he lived by and the legacy he left behind. I don't think anybody else could have handled this role to perfection, the way Rajnikant has handled it. Songs are decent, the special effects, the coverage of detail, the magnificence of the sets, the awesome music of ARR, the voice of SPB, and many more features makes the movie a MUST WATCH! Soundarya Ashwin has done an incredible job. Overall I would say, DO NOT MISS the movie! Yes there are quite a few technical flaws, but I think we should still appreciate the efforts. The dialogues as any Rajni movie are awesome. Was great to see the king of comedy Nagesh being included, I am sure a lot of work would have gone behind it. All is not rosy some critical thoughts: * Maybe they could have reduced the gory scenes couple of notches * Many characters have been wasted who possibly might be utilized in Rana i guess. * the movie lacked the usual Rajni humor * Maybe Jackie Shroff and Aadhi should have been replaced by Suman (who did a great job in Sivaji) or Prabhu and maybe Shaam/Jeeva/Jayam Ravi respectively. Both the former's expressions are not the best of features. When you are portraying a Pandyan King, you would want to use a Tamil star cast as your expressions are very important. Looking forward to Rana!
