Movie Review
Firstly, kind request - please dont accuse me of trolling, every time I wanna say something you all always dismiss me saying I am trolling. cant be a troll 24/7 so leave me alone.....I watched the movie and it was good! Was it "wow" ? - No. In fact I felt like there were many many potholes/weaknesses in the movie.
The story is not new, the execution is not that new either - and the so called "twist" is outdated, boring and humorous. I was really disappointed because I was expecting a "thriller" and this movie is not a thriller. Some of the action sequences are very boring and I didn't find anything new in them. There's a scene with Hrithik on an airplane - my god the screen shakes so much in that scene that it gave me a headache. What were they thinking? A lot of reviews said the action is international level. I dont really think so. Everything they showed I've seen before and I've seen it done better. There is nothing new. Film has lots of "locations" which get boring too after a certain point.
Jai Jai Shiv Shankar- huge disappointment. What a huge opportunity the makers had, and what we get is an half-ass effort with no "wow" choreography moments. I thought there would be a dance-off, face-off or some kind of jugalbandi but we literally got NOTHING.
Performances - Hrithik Roshan def steals the show! His character has a smugness to him which I haven't really seen him play before. Tiger Shroff does good too. Although He looked really "small" to me though. I honestly thought Tiger was 6 feet tall lol but sometimes Hrithik towers over him and you're like...oh wow lol. Vaani was actually good in her 10 min role.
The basic problem I had with the movie is that they had all the ingredients but at some point you can see/feel the weak execution. The film does not grip you, it lacks finesse and its not refined. A lot of wow moments end up being yawns. The movie needed a stronger script and better director! I personally feel Sidharth Anand as a director was better in his previous films. I feel like they made this movie in a rush and did not think it through.
Also, Dhoom-2 had a better story than War and better execution lol even Bang Bang was better actually!!!
I'd give the movie 1/5 and Hrithik 5/5
