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.

Rambo: Last Blood - Review

How much of creativity do you think goes into naming the last movie of the franchise as "Last Blood" when the first one is "First Blood". That's exactly how much creativity went into the script too. But wait, all is not lost yet.

Last Blood is designed to be a hardcore Rambo style blood and gore to make it a befitting conclusion to the cult franchise. It does not adhere to sophistication of a contemporary Hollywood action franchises. It is not multi-layered. It is single-point agenda driven, revenge.

The violence in the movie in some scenes is very hard to take but justified. The movie's main problem in my case is that it takes its time to reach the culmination. And the climax, though thoroughly entertaining, lacks any one-upmanship game between the antagonist and the protagonist. Rambo with all his might dominates the proceedings.

Overall, Rambo is a simple action movie with a kick-ass climax where Rambo kicks some ass drawing the last blood. Until next time, Rambo.
