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.

Keshava - Review

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" is the tag line for Keshava. That tag immediately reminds us of Kill Bill. And 10 minutes into the movie you are rewarding yourself for guessing it right. The movie takes references from Kill Bill very generously. That is not a problem at all if you have compelling story to tell. So the director mixes Vantage Point, Rasho-mon and Virumandi kind of multiple perspective flashbacks. That is also not a problem if your flashback has substance in it. So the director adds brilliant cinematography and awesome music. But the sum of this all does not add up to a decent movie either. It still ends up as a cliched and dragged stylish movie. By the end you are moving restlessly in your seat thinking or rather wishing this movie had a strong flashback to start with. Because without that the movie becomes very silly by the end.

Overall, it is a stylish but dragged and cliched movie and definitely not living up to the benchmark Nikhil had setup for himself and every young hero.
