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.

Baby Driver - Review

The trailer was kick-ass, the reviews were ripe(not rotten) and so I picked up the movie. It's like driving a sports car with awesome songs on the audio system but hitting potholes(plot-holes) and speed breakers every time you hit the gas to reach the max speed.

The movie's premise is good. The way songs were used, the conversations about songs and gun shots in sync with music beats was all praise-worthy. It is a clear indication of what happens when an action movie director also happens to love music. But the story built around the premise is mediocre at best. It has some finest actors at its disposal but they all look uni-dimensional in their roles. In other words, Kevin Spacey was wasted. So was Jamie Foxx.

Baby Driver has interesting conversations on songs but that intelligence does not extend to the other dialogues or script points. It not only lacks the adrenaline rush promised by the trailer but lacks good screenplay. It takes off, halts, takes off, halts and finally ends.

I liked the movie because of its love for songs and I think unless you are like me, you can easily skip this one.
