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.

Happy Death Day 2U - Review

The biggest problem of Hollywood slashers are the sequels. Happy Death Day 2U tries its best to not fall into that jinx trap. But it fails.

The whole concept for Happy Death Day worked because it was novel even though it was a mix of Ground Hog day and slasher thriller genre. In this sequel the makers try to mix few more concepts like multi-verse to make it more interesting.

Slasher movies always seem to work like video games, as in part 2 is made like level two of part one. But very rarely the levelling up technique works. In this one, it goes haywire after first 5 minutes with new kind of theories and then movie falls back into same tone as first one. The movie's only achievement is that it retains the sense of humor from the first part.

Overall, Happy Death Day 2U is just another part two of a franchise, jinxed, flawed and bound to be inferior to the original.
