TELUGU 360 (Rating: 2.75/5):
GOAT is a film that works for Vijay fans, especially in Tamil Nadu, where his star power is unmatched. The unconventional mass film approach, combined with a decent second half and dance numbers, makes it a worthy watch for his core audience. However, for viewers from other states, “GOAT” might come across as an average to above-average entertainer, primarily due to its underwhelming action sequences, and lack of a strong villain. Nevertheless, the film succeeds in delivering a different kind of mass entertainer, thanks to Vijay’s charisma and a relatively better second half.
Great Andhra (Rating: 2/5):
GOAT might let you down if you’re expecting a globe-trotting espionage thriller, or just a genre-specific entertainer along the lines of Venkat’s Maanaadu. But if you want to catch the celebration of one of our most popular stars doing everything we love in his penultimate outing — including transforming from a GOAT to a Beast — then The Greatest of All Time is worth the entry fee; even with all its drawbacks, isn’t a lion always a lion?
Mirchi9 (Rating: 2.25/5):
Overall, GOAT is a super-lengthy and only okayish watch, with a barely passable first half and a slightly better second half, falling far short of its title, “Greatest of All Time.
123TELUGU (Rating: 2.5/5):
On the whole, The Greatest of All Time (The GOAT) is a standard revenge action drama that leans heavily on Vijay’s performance. His portrayal of the villainous Jeevan and the face-off scenes are the film’s highlights, but beyond that, it offers little in terms of novelty or excitement. The slow pacing, long runtime, score, and numerous plot holes make it a challenging watch for all but die-hard Vijay fans.
Times Of India (Rating: 3.25/5):
“The Greatest of All Time” is a high-octane celebration of Vijay’s star power, a whirlwind of fan service that delivers entertainment in spades. The film caters to the actor’s loyal fanbase, offering a non-stop barrage of action, humor, and those signature Vijay moments that leave the audience cheering. While the plot might not break new ground, the energy is infectious, and Vijay’s charisma keeps the audience engaged throughout.
