Suicide Squad 2 - Movie Review

Streaming: HBOMAX Suicide Squad 1 was one of the finest DC movies(Minus Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy) to come out from their camp. Do not go by the reviews. It was so well received that Harley Quinn had her own movie. Now cut to Suicide Squad 2 with the famous James Gunn from Marvel camp at the helm, it barely meets the expectations.  Marvel made it seem so easy to write a super hero movie in super entertaining fashion with movies like Winter Soldier, Thor Ragnorak, Guardians of the Galaxy etc. But DC thought all they needed was the guy who directed Guardians to sell Suicide Squad. Oh my oh my how they were wrong. In one phrase, Suicide Squad is a gross mess that shines few times and far in between. Suicide Squad is no Guardians, not even close. The screenplay is messy. The visuals are gross but it aint Kill Bill. Kill Bill romanticizes with violence but Suicide Squad tries to romanticize with gross elements. To say the least, it doesn't work in favor of the movie.

Eega/Naan Ee/Makhi-Review




Firstly Eega is definitely miles ahead of any Telugu cinema technically. Hats off to Rajamouli and Thanks for making us proud.What Avatar is for Hollywood , Eega is for Telugu cinema and in many ways. Technically both are few notches above their contemporary cinema. Major drawbacks of Avatar and Eega are their scripts and screenplay. They are no work of genius like the concept or idea or direction in those movies.

Eega story is like most of the Rajamouli movies that have two lives, revenge, powerful villian etc. Just to name a few Simhadri, Vikramarkudu, Magadheera etc. Story almost is similar to Magadheera along with the villain characterization and then the Aghora thread. Too much indulgence into the technical aspects blind folded these makers scripting abilities. Of course the technical brilliance in itself makes sure they have a winner at hand.

Content wise movie is a semi-enjoyable ride with fun, action, violence and little to no romance, comedy and sentiment. Nani's presence though short is mesmerizing thanks to his energy. Sudeep is a nice pick for the role. Of course why would not Rajamouli like a person who can act like Raghuvaran, Prakash Raj and Shahrukh Khan(negative roles). Samantha needs some more acting classes, she cannot survive on Chinmayi's dubbing forever. Aghora Scene, Eega birth, Interval scene and Climax are the highlights in same order first being the best. Like the 100 count fight in Magadheera had it's influence from 300, the fly entering the car through AC vents and sticking to Tennis ball are straight lift from Bee-Movie.

On a whole, Eega is definitely enjoyable for one time for its novelty as far as Indian cinema is concerned. Coming to kids perspective, this movie is as much kid friendly as any of Rajamouli movies except Yama Donga. Yama Donga is more kid friendly than Eega.
