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 Raid 2 - Review

The first part Raid - redemption was the best an action movie could get. Around 90 mins of beauty of violence it was. It's sequel is 150 minutes and I felt it was an overkill. Of course this time they tried to tell a story and then include action and violence in it where ever possible. But the actual awesomeness of the movies does not start until the last 1 hour. The car chase scene and climax fights, all occur in last 1 hour and up until then we either wait restlessly or try to indulge ourselves in a pretty routine story of rivaling mafia families with one ambitious heir on wrong path. If not for the last 1 hour, the fans of the original would be utterly disappointed. I conclude by saying that Raid 2 does not disappoint wholly but it needs more patience than its predecessor or at least start the movie from 61st minute.
