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.

X-Men - Apocalypse

The latest installment Apocalypse, in the Hollywood's one of the biggest franchises, X-Men, if not anything, tries to pay homage to the X-men first part. In previous installment they went into the past and now it looks like they decided to tie it up to the first part in the franchise.  No question, it was a decent watch and obviously so with so many awesome mutants at play(Quicksilver). But it has its problems. It is cliched. We have seen Wolverine go through same situations as Magneto in this. Then the plot. You have God as the villain but the proceedings never make it up to the grandeur of that super villain. I feel that Magneto vs Professor X wars were better. And finally the proceedings are very predictable, some of it owing to our knowledge of how many of these characters on bad side turned out to be in the future. So I feel it should have been handled better. And the slow character building very indulging story telling is not for Bryan Singer. Isn't that why he was taken off of the Superman franchise? Bryan, please stick to your kickass action, lets not get into serious superheroes, we have Nolan for that.

Overall it had many things working against it but so many, I stress so so many, mutants working in it's favor. So that makes it a decent watch.
