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. Idris Elba is

Suicide Squad

Off late, all major super heroes are following what Uncle Ben told Peter Parker "With great power comes great responsibility." and it was getting all boring with all the righteous battles they were waging instead of fighting villains. So people badly needed a bad-ass super hero. That's why Deadpool was lapped up by everyone and that is different Comic-verse. Suicide Squad takes it to the next level. A completely over the top gang of bad lawless people trying to fight a bigger evil is the setup of Suicide Squad. It is a totally bad-ass film with perfect combination of the evil people and good action and graphics.

The only minor complaint I have with the movie is it's background score. It should have been more kick-ass as the one which Zack Snyder is famous for when he is directing. The best thing about the movie is it's art direction. Couple of scenes impress you with the minute detailing involved in shot making like the scene where Joker is waiting for news of Harley Quinn or the scene where they both emerge from the acid. Both are visually stunning but not totally VFX. It involved lot of prep and creativity behind those scenes.

Jared Leto as the Joker, though in a small role, was a total revelation. He could be called one of the best jokers and would love to see him more in this role. Harley Quinn's role is well-written and Margot Robbie did pretty good in her role of lifetime. Rest of the cast, including Will Smith were good too. The movie for once brings the cocky and corny dialogues into DC universe and that too in correct proportions. DC was taking it's super heroes too seriously and Suicide Squad is a welcome change in the right direction. Super heroes need to have some fun too and Suicide Squad is that, all fun.
