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.

The Judge

The Judge is a courtroom drama with emphasis on relation between a dad and his son. There is plenty of melodrama in the movie. I am a sucker for melodrama as long as it is believable. So I liked it even though at times, it goes over board bordering on implausible, especially in the last court scene before verdict. It is cliched at times too. But it is still a decent watch for some good scenes between the Robert Duvall as dad and RDJ as the son. They both did their best to bring those roles to life. The father-son relationship is a relationship with universal appeal. I can speak for Indians and so I bet we can identify with many scenes. The court proceedings seemed slow but then that is just used as a prop for the narrative and not the actual story.

Overall, it was a satisfying melodramatic experience.
