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.

English Vinglish(hindi) - Review

There are two types of female directors. One, directors and other female directors. I mean one is a director whose films are like any male director's films with no gender inclination and other are female directors that come with a mindset that borders on the thin line between feminism and chauvinism. This director "according to me" falls under second category. Too much insulting for Shashi through out the movie and at times far fetched. But the main plus points of the movie are Sri Devi followed by music by Amit Trivedi. This movie scores big time on the concept that as long as you have an adorable underdog, you have a winner at hand, no matter how trivial or outdated issues are. It's a treat to see Sri Devi sleep walk through her role with very little sentiment and melodrama. One dialogue I loved in this movie is "We say kids are innocent while all they do is take advantage of our weaknesses." Overall, this a movie most women would love to watch and all men should avoid, no matter how feminist your ideals are.
