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.

Let me warn everyone before hand that I am not a gamer and so you will not find any comparisons between the movie and the game. I watched this as a movie with a slight idea that it was based on a game. Instead what I would compare it with is many of the Dan Brown books. The moment the story mentioned Knights Templar, my mind's first response was Da Vinci Code.

What marred the Da Vinci Code movie was the lack of emotion driving the fast paced thriller while it is the case of the opposites with Assassin's Creed. The emotion is very well there but the proceedings are lethargic. Fassbender tries his best with good support form Marion Cottilard. But the lengthy action sequences and the snail-paced proceedings shattered all the prospects of this movie. The movie picks up towards the final 20 minutes and when you anticipate some more action, the movie ends on a rather somber note with absolutely no action. In comparison to other game based movies, Prince of Persia seems much better one now when compared to this and the even more forgetful Tomb Raider.

Michael Fassbender and Marion Cottilard could not save this movie even with their earnest performances.
