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. Idris Elba is

Prometheus

Did they kill Charlize Theron just like that? Sorry I had to get it out first. Now moving on, Ridley Scott goes back to where he started, with Prometheus. There are rumors that Prometheus is a prequel to Aliens. But I feel it will be an improvised prequel. Picking up the current trend of belief that Aliens are indeed our Gods, Scott tries to take it forward and it is too early now to conclude what he wanted to project. Especially the closing scenes of this movie completely mixes up everything and makes you ask for more(read, sequel). There is plenty of spirituality and also slight tongue in cheek humor about religion. This one is not a path breaking movie but may be the sequel will be. So if I were you I would just check this one out to catch up with the sequel. It is a decent one time watch except for ending Charlize Theron's role like that. That is DISAPPOINTING.
