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.

Lincoln review

 I am not a big history freak but somehow there is this inherent love in me for Abraham Lincoln like many. So watching Lincoln was a long due exercise I had to complete someday. So when I started watching it and there was lot of stuff that went over my head, I was not sure if I would even finish this. But after first 30 minutes into the movie and the era of 13th amendment is well established, movie transforms into something entirely different than what we expected it to be. The movie starts dealing with the internal conflicts of Lincoln, his family struggles, Mary Todd Lincoln and her condition, recent loss of his son, another son desiring to join army etc. This movie is not just about how Lincoln strived for abolishment of slavery but also about his personal struggles and also Mrs. Lincoln’s condition (even though just a hint of it is mentioned). That one scene where Lincoln is arguing with Mary is so very natural and for me that scene made me list this right next to Schindler’s list in Spielberg’s filmography. And where should I start to talk about Daniel Day Lewis. I can just say that may be this is how Lincoln actually was. His portrayal will make you love Lincoln even more. Lincoln is not your regular history lesson kind of movie, it is an emotional journey of America’s most loved President during the most critical phase of American history. 
Best quote: The greatest measure of the nineteenth century. Passed by corruption, aided and abetted by the purest man in America.
