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.

Ghostbusters(2016) - Review

To remake a classic is like walking a tightrope. Ghostbusters is one such classic and the makers seem to be well aware of the fact. This remake is almost like a tribute to the 1980s campy soundtracks, campy graphics etc that were quite prevalent in Ghostbusters original.

The remake faithfully retains the feel of the original by adding an equally comical storyline, this time, with all female cast. The actors are all brilliant in the role. For the fans of the original, there are numerous references  to the original and cameos from the original.

Overall if you liked the original, then this is a must at least for the effective portrayal of the feel of the 80s movies. If you have not watched any of the 80s classics then this movie can give a taste of that.
