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.

Us - Movie Review

Jordan Peele comes up with "Us" after what is considered a game-changing path breaking very smartly written Thriller Get Out. Us had a herculean task ahead of it to meet the expectations.

Have you ever watched a well-made sci-fi post-apocalyptic movie or web series, then went to sleep and had a very dark dream remotely related to what you watched. Us is exactly that. It gives you the creeps. It makes you cringe. But once it is done and you wake up from the dream it just does not make sense. That is Us for you.

There may be lot of theories flying around regarding what Us actually meant but the main problem with Us is its lack of subtlety and abstractness. The movie concretely is trying to convey something but that something gets lost in the proceedings and the movie ends up being very silly. More often than not the makers try the rule, the end justifies the means and in Us the end twist tries that but up until that point the tethered concept looks so much like a thing straight out of senseless dream. Lupita is just brilliant in her role.

Overall, Jordan Peele's thought process is so out of the box but he falls short in execution this time.
