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 Magnificent Seven

Post Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight, the standards of Western's have gone up for this generation. And at this juncture The Magnificent Seven comes through, boasting of great star cast and good technical team that brought us Training day and Equalizer. The thing that needs to be put on the table first here is that this is no new generation Western. It is a very old-schoolish type Western which of course we all grew up loving. There is a decent story although that kind of gives you a deja vu feel. The proceedings do not spend much time on establishing the seven characters like the films of the yore. Instead the pace is kept in tact with some action every now and then. Every thing is kept in perfect proportions that make this movie a good popcorn flick. That can not be said about many westerns but about this one surely can. A decent popcorn flick in western genre.
