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.

Ocean's 8 - Review

Ocean's is easily one of my top most favorite franchises. The chemistry between the lead George Clooney and Brad Pitt is a total laugh riot. So when Ocean's 8 was announced I was looking forward for the same magic between Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. Unfortunately Ocean's 8 misses that thing and only that thing.

O8 can be a decent addition to the franchise that has seen it's lowest in O13. I would rate this one on par with O11 except for the lead pair chemistry. For instance, the one minute scene of Oprah's episode in O13 was totally not needed but that is the best part of the movie. I wished makers could have done something like that with Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. I know they would have done equal justice.

Leaving that aside the movie scores all other brownie points. It has a solid plot with no boring moments and humor sprinkled all over. The ending reels and the twists are all perfect. Sandra did good as Ms. Ocean. It was nice to see Cate in this refreshing role. There is no other who could have filled into the shoes of Anne Hathaway because obviously she has the best neck in the world, yes you read it right. I said neck. Helena Bonham Carter is also casted in a different role than her usual and she did good. Rest of the team did their parts well. And watch out for celebrity cameos. Wish there were more franchise related cameos though.

All in all, if you are a fan of the franchise, do not miss it.
