Painful To Sit Through!
The rough outline of the narrative seems to be interesting, but the screenplay is filled with situations and characters that feel like they were extracted from the rough note scribblings. An actioner with no conviction and full of confusion.(more)

Sathyaraj-Vasanth Ravi's film not sharp enough to create impact
Though the film is technically strong with neat visual effects, the filmmaker failed to explore the potential of the script to the fullest. Had Guhan Senniappan cut down on a few sub-plots, he would have had a vast canvas to explain the concepts in a manner that could be savoured.(more)

Sathyaraj's superhero saga aims for the stars and crash lands on the audience
The movie is one plot point after another. I understand the idea is to introduce as many characters and elements for worldbuilding. For reasons unknown, the director calls a deceased bunch of goons �Skull Gang�. For the viewer, the bunch are just random goons who are like cows for slaughter in action movies. We are introduced to the secret society, but they do nothing except for getting killed. Then again, the idea is worldbuilding. Guhan might have envisioned a universe of many such characters, but we don�t see them. Watching Weapon was like reading Wikipedia pages of Marvel superheroes and going on a rabbit hole clicking the hyperlinks. All of these characters are written with the hope that they will be useful for the sequels. However, the director, who seems to be fixated on the future, forgets the film at hand must work. No one pays for a vision when he can�t see it.(more)

A messy superhero film that's more like a make-believe game with action-figures
In a pivotal scene, a child crossing a road is saved by a �mysterious figure� from a recklessly driven lorry; in the plot, it is meant to birth pivotal surveillance footage evidence of superhumans. If the scene instantly reminds you of Christopher Reeve�s Superman or Sam Raimi�s Spiderman, you know how the fundamental idea of superheroes came to be in pop culture. And just the writing, execution, and editing of this scene � and the way the surveillance footage is shot � should tell you that while Guhan might be a fan of superhero cinema, the filmmaker in him with a zeal to make superhero content needs to step out of his filter bubble and explore. For now, on Marvel�s Earth-1218 and DC�s Earth 33, his film remains a forgettable misfire which none of his superhumans manage to save.(more)
