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.

Mirror mirror - Review

Mirror mirror as many of us already know is the story of Snow white. But the movie has a an attitude of "Well, you know the story, so let's play with it a little bit by adding some sense of humor to it". In that aspect the director succeeds well. Only if there was good enough tight screenplay to go with it, movie would have been one joyous ride. Instead it becomes a roller coaster ride on the streets of New York, I mean with way too many slow sequences. First things to mention, even before Julia Roberts are the sets and the costumes. This is one of those movies that gets the fairy tale atmosphere perfectly right without animation. You are truly transformed into their world and having snow around really helps. Next comes Julia Roberts, she does not giggle much but yet make up some good comedy as the evil queen. The guy who played Brighton is equally delightful. Rest of the cast are all apt. Watch out for the song "I believe I believe" towards the end and it's dance steps. Again as I said earlier, if only better screenplay was done, movie would have been a real piece of beauty but now not exactly "Fairest of them all Snow White movies". Next stop, Charlize Theron's Snow White and the Hunstman. By the way, what's with Hollywood making same movies with different stars.
