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.

Rogue One - A Star Wars story

















The major complaint, many of the viewers had with The Force Awakens, Episode 7 in Star wars, was that it did not start a new chapter in Star Wars but kind of a did a rehash of all the things Star Wars. And exactly one year later, they come up with a Star Wars spin off, which gives us a 2.5 hours of narration of how Episode IV started which nobody ever questioned but the makers thought they needed to answer. If episode IV is still fresh on your minds, you will have the ultimate fanboy moment in the climax of the movie and how it all makes sense now. You will attain the peace of knowing it.

The movie is 2.5 hrs too long for a story that has a single point agenda. The makers chose to give Galen Erso, the designer of Death Star, a back story and his reunion with his separated daughter which takes up the first 1 hour of the movie. Once you watch the whole movie, you will understand why all that was such a moot point. But the fanboys will love it for sure. It is definitely not a movie for non-Star Wars fan because it needs so much of knowledge of the Star Wars worlds and it's whole history. For example sample this. They made Star Wars episodes 4, 5 and 6 in 70s and 80s. Then they made episodes 1, 2 and 3 in 2000s. Last year they released episode 7 and now Rogue one is Episode 3.95. If you understood what I just said, this movie is for you. Others can stay away from the chaos until the day the New Hope arises in you to the Force that awakens you and hence makes you comprehend my above message.

And for the fanboys, just remember what Yoda said "Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not."
