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.

Sherlock Holmes - A game of shadows

 Finally Netflix had realized that I have waited longer for this movie and sent it last night after a wait of roughly two months with the movie on top of my queue. So was the wait worth it? In one word, No. First one was brilliant. Second is not up to the mark. Of course it may be better than many movies but not on par with any Guy Ritchie movie I have seen. Jude Law some how seemed out of place in this movie. Robert Downey Jr. mixed Sherlock Holmes with Tony Stark in attitude. Script wise, it's more gimmicky than intellectual. It belongs to the genre of The Illusionist and The Prestige but not Sherlock Holmes. Please do more ground work next time Guy Ritchie. Shot making is still brilliant especially the gun shooting episode in the forest, the fist fights etc. Overall if you are a sucker for Sherlock Holmes+Guy Ritchie franchise, then watch it or else skip it.
