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.

Stand by me (1986)

"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" I had a wide smile on my face when I saw(?not heard.) this dialogue in this movie. That sums up the essence of this master piece. I was reading in some article about this movie and they were saying, this is one of those movies you "have" to see. So I grabbed it and watched it on one fine long weekend afternoon. It is about four 12 year old kids on their way to find the dead body of a person whom the whole town police is not able to find. One kid is an easily gullible parent's pet who wants to break out. One is a kid who seriously thinks his dad wished for him to die rather than his football player elder brother. One more is the fearless, rebellious, most misunderstood by all but most loved by his friends. The last one is a kid who loves his dad very much, who after going crazy practically tried killing him.  And this is their journey of two days to find the dead body. It's a beautifully written script by Stephen King of four radically different kids. What's so enjoyable about this movie is their friendship, their problems, their conversations, their fights and then their counters to each others. I suggest this movie to all the guys who shared all those silliest moments with your friends in school around the age of twelve. This is like Hangover, Dil Chahta hai etc of 12 year olds, only subtle.
