Mark Antony Movie Reviews: On the whole, Mark Antony is a watchable gangster action drama with solid performances from Vishal and SJ Suryah. The sci-fi element has been used to create entertainment, and there are a decent number of fun moments in both halves. Mark Antony requires attention to detail to enjoy the proceedings and the madness. The movie gets slightly slow in the first half. The songs are poor, and the climax is a letdown. If you could overlook these flaws, the movie ends up being a timepass watch.

Mark Antony Movie Review By Baradwaj Rangan, Galatta Plus YT Channel
Mark Antony Movie Review By Logesh Balachandran, Site: The Times of India
It’s good to see how filmmakers here are constantly trying to explore the time-travel genre, which we have been witnessing for a while now. In most of these subjects, the central characters put themselves in conflict by trying to change the past with the help of the time machine. The lead characters of Aadhik Ravichandran’s Mark Antony do the same, but what’s special here is the narration, treatment, staging, performances, and chaotic retro visuals.
Vishal is as good as SJ Suryah when it comes to performance, and their combination scenes are a delight to watch. Ritu Varma, who plays Mark’s girlfriend, has delivered what’s expected of her character, despite lesser screen time.
Mark Antony is not a great film, but it’s quite a refreshing entertainer that delivers what it promises.

Mark Antony Movie Review By Purushothaman, Site: Indian Express
All said and done, Mark Antony is entertaining whenever SJ Suryah is on the screen. He is incredible both as Jackie Pandian and as his son Madhan Pandian. The ‘inter-timensional’ telephonic conversation between the father and son is probably the high point of the film. Once Suryah has performed a role, it is pretty hard to ascertain whether the character was written for him or he owned it. His performance is exaggerated, but still, it has soul to it.
He is desperate and determined at the same time. Take him out of the film, Mark Antony will lack the little magic it has going for it. The movie could have been as good as SJ Suryah’s performance had Adhik prioritised writing over moments. The brilliance one can see in the fights and editing of Vijay Velukutty is absent in the screenplay, which gets treated as afterthoughts. In a bid to create theatre moments, the director seems to have written the story around them, failing to realise scenes are for the story. Not the other way around.

Mark Antony Movie Review By K Janani, Site: Indiatoday
‘Mark Antony’ works well because of its (un)intentional comedy. Sometimes, you laugh at the dialogue and sometimes you laugh at the film itself. Either way, you laugh while watching the film and that’s probably the film’s success.
Apart from SJ Suryah, it is GV Prakash’s music that takes the cake. The cinematography by Abinandhan Ramanujam needs special mention as the frames are carefully crafted and take us back to the 70s and 80s.
That said, ‘Mark Antony’ is a valiant effort, and, with certain shortcomings, it still manages to engage the audience and leave them in splits.

Mark Antony Review By Venkat, Site: Great Andhra
Vishal appears as a villain in the beginning, and SJ Suryah appears as a good-natured gangster. Their true natures are revealed by the interval. Hence, we get to see Vishal in both negative and positive roles, as well as SJ Suryah as both a good guy and a menacing villain. Although the film’s outlandish concept allows both of these actors to shine, with Surya in particular having the opportunity to steal the entire show, it is not engaging enough.
Even the episode with the Silk Smitha lookalike doesn’t work very well. Though some lines here and there provide laughs.
The time-travel element, a couple of humorous episodes, and the setting are all highlights, but the story’s wackiness and the erratic narration detract from the film’s impact. Concise narration would have helped.
On the whole, “Mark Antony” is quite whacky and makes no sense. Despite its best efforts to offer something new to the time travel genre, the lengthy drama makes a tiresome watch.
Bottom Line: Whacky.

Mark Antony Movie Review By Nanda Gopal, Site gulte
The Silk Smitha scene is just a forced one. There are several such unwanted and filler scenes placed. The songs are not appealing. But GV Prakash compensated this with by delivering a compelling background score. The pre-climax and climax sequences are on the expected lines.
Mark Antony has a lot of scope to improve in terms of scenes and the film could have been way better. Yet it doesn’t disappoint either. It just banks on the time travel concept to entice the audience. Antony Without Mark!

Mark Antony Movie Review By MANIGANDAN KR, Site: The South First
The other artiste who impresses you with his performance is Telugu actor Sunil. He plays a small but significant part. In fact, Sunil steals the thunder with a really impressive fight sequence.
The next big factor that works in favour of Mark Antony is its music by GV Prakash Kumar. A fantastic background score and some peppy numbers infuse life into an otherwise cumbersome story. Despite its high points, Mark Antony fails to impress.

Mark Antony Movie Review By RamBabu, Site: Cine Josh
The overall script and story suffered from numerous loopholes, and the screenplay exhibited significant logical gaps. Adhik took considerable cinematic liberties, sacrificing the film’s potential for a natural and realistic feel.

Mark Antony Review By Vijay, Site: Movie Crow
Mark Antony successfully translates (at least partially) the kind of vibe you got from its trailer onto the big screen. The quirkiness works most of the time and the film keeps it simple. Adhik deserves credit for building a convincing world. I surely would have liked more jokes to work and the decibel level to be several notches lower. But if watching S.J. Suryah go crazy along with a cheering and hooting crowd is what you need, then Mark Antony fits the bill!
