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.

Shankar's I - review

The movie I is mainly about two people. Shankar and his vision and Vikram and his hardwork. 5 minutes into the movie you know the whole story including the last twist. Rest of the movie you just sit and let Shankar's magic sweep you off your feet. But Shankar's magic could not win against the single line story. First half of the movie is predictable and a bit slow but with great visuals, great BGM and awesome songs. Second half is also predictable and again with great visuals, great BGM and tighter narration. All songs are awesome as is expected from Shankar. Fights are a major let down. China fight is so not Shankarish. You can easily say it is not Vikram and that is not excusable in a Shankar movie. Vikram did his part with utmost sincerity and dedication. The physical transformations he has undergone are definitely praiseworthy. Amy Jackson is just eye candy and in lot of scenes could not emote at all. Rest of the cast are been there done that kind of roles. A total disappointment for Shankar's fans and most importantly the movie is not for everyone. Make up of few people are pretty nightmarish/unpleasant here and there. I would rank this at the bottom of all the Shankar's movies and maximum tie with Boys. It's not a bad movie but we are used to Shankar's movies being best and this one falls way below.
