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.

Murder on the Orient Express - Review

Note: I have not seen the original and so I can not compare it with the original.

Murder on the orient express stays true to the story of the novel, the era of the story and also to the film making of that era. There is a scene where Detective Poirot boards the train that is all shot as a single shot. It is masterfully crafted to retain the old world charm of film making. That is the good part of the movie.

But in an era where we deal with mysteries that are tough even for Sherlocks of the TV and movie to crack, this murder mystery is too simple. The ending could be a turn off for mystery lovers. But the movie's intent was not to be great mystery. It was to recreate the bygone era of film making. All the actors are spot on.

So watch it for old world charm but script is too old world-ish to charm the current.
