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.

War(Hindi) - Review

Have you ever stepped out of your doctor's office after the yearly physical exam and immediately got yourself a candy bar you haven't eaten for last six months. War is that candy bar. In short a guilty pleasure.

War is a mix of so many Hollywood movies. I stress so many. So if you are expecting originality from a Sidharth Anand's movie, then I am sorry for you. Hrithik and Tiger save the movie with their suaveness, some mind boggling stunts and Hrithik's magical dance moves. Tiger can dance too but Hrithik is awwwwwwesome.

I still remember watching Shahrukh's Don in 2006 and when that car chase scene comes in second half, I was in total awe of it. I knew Bollywood is not far behind in making a Hollywood-ish action movie. War is precisely that. It can stand tall next to any recent Hollywood action movies except in story.

War is basically Mission Impossible meets Face Off meets James Bond meets Jason Bourne meets Fast and Furious and many many more. Even though it is not well-written it is very well-made. So that makes it a good guilty-pleasure watch.
