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.

But it is plain old romcom with some psychological disorders. Boy with a past, girl with a past. They meet, find a common ground amidst their weirdness and unite in the end with a close to fairytale happily ever after kind of ending. I did not know Oscar committee were suckers for such movies. Actors were all top notch headed by the best in the business De Niro to the rookie Jennifer Lawrence. Overall a decent romcom with some great lines about fate, human psychology, love etc.
