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.

The Hobbit - An unexpected journey

Firstly watch the making of this movie to realize that the beautiful landscapes shown in this movie are actually real ones in New Zealand.
Moving on the actual movie, The Hobbit - An unexpected journey is part one of a series that will have two sequels following, which are all as a whole a prequel to Lord of The Rings trilogy. This series is not about how Bilbo Baggins gets the ring. It is just a subtext. This is about Dwarves struggle to get back their home from a dragon, Smaug. This part is almost similar to fellowship of the ring. As in, this movie deals with how a group of people unite for a cause, struggling through their incompatibilities, battling all the obstacles and towards the end emerge as a strong group still far far away to comprehend what lies ahead. As expected Hobbit does not have enough meat(read extravagant script) to indulge audience but Peter Jackson tries nevertheless. The greenery specialist in him is the main hero of the movie. Brilliant outstanding mind-blowing astonishing spellbinding speechless visuals of the nature. Movie looks more like a western set in Middle-east until the climax where the battles of the Dwarves with Goblins and then Orcs come in quick succession. The Goblin episode is awesome. And Gollum episode is very thrilling even though you know the outcome already. But until that climax, the beauty of the movie is what will keep you glued. So glued that if you doze off, you would wish to wake up in Shire. So let me summarize it by saying sit through the slow paced first one hour or so and then follows some decent action. Don't expect a Fellowship of the Ring script or characters. This movie is totally Dwarves oriented with a one line script.
