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.

Good night Lions and Good luck for Lambs of the Good Shepherd

3 back to back star studded movies directed by actors turned directors.
1. Good night and good luck - George Clooney stuck to the plot with no BS added and comes out with an inspirational movie for media people based on a real life incident. David Strathairn was brilliant.
2. Lions for Lambs - Robert Redford uses face value of Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and himself only to serve the purpose of asking the questions many Americans had asked during many protests against war, this time on a bigger platform. Movie is the conversations between two sets of people regarding American war on Terrorism in Afghanistan while two soldiers are fighting for their life in a duration of one hour. It is a very tough movie to make and it makes you bored very easily because the asking the right questions for whole 90 minutes is not an entertaining idea. But this movie in contrast with the earlier one shows how media had become a puppet in the hands of politicians through Meryl Streep.
3. The Good Shepherd - Robert De Niro either loved the script way too much or lost interest in it right from beginning. A story on how CIA actually began is one heck of an idea. But De Niro as director could not do any justice to it. It is very boring, dragged a lot, depressing and inconsistent with so many unwanted props added. Matt Damon was wasted in a role that has nothing much to do except for to look boring.
