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 Greatest Showman - Review

Movies are often blamed for selling dreams. And if those dreams are as beautiful, as musical and as joyful as The Greatest Showman movie, then I am in.

The movie is loosely based on PT Barnum story and he would have been really proud of this movie. The movie is a musical and that is a big turn off for many. I am one of them too. The only musical I liked till date is La La Land and now this one. The songs are the life of the movie and the songs are just brilliant.

The movie has a fairy tale kind of feel because of the songs. The direction, the choreography and the singing are all impeccable. Hugh Jackman's charm is a bonus. He truly immortalized the role of PT Barnum, The Greatest Showman and comes out truly as the greatest showman himself.

Watch out for Jenny Lind's Never Enough song. I am really short of words to explain that song. One has to watch it to experience it. So are many other songs in the movie.

Hollywood is getting universal with musicals and The Greatest Showman is few more steps in the right direction. We want more like this.
