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.

Vanguard - Movie Review

 




The only reason I got this movie DVD for rental is for the reason Jackie Chan combination with the director of super hits "Rumble in the bronx", "Police Story" etc, Stanley Tong.

Jackie Chan movies are usually on a lighter note but Vanguard makes it so much slapstick. I am sure Jackie is still capable of pulling off slapstick but the movie suffers from very low-end cgi work. Of course the movie is over ambitious in trying lot of stuff and need lot of CGI but the end product comes across far from real and that is a serious buzz killer in the whole movie.

Vanguard is basically five brilliant action episodes packaged into a wafer thin story line. The action episodes are designed on lines of MI, Fast and Furious, etc. It is fun to watch if you can ignore the poor cgi work. Jackie as usual is a delight to watch and rest of cast are given equal importance and they shine too. 

Overall, Jackie Chan is strictly for lovers of Mr.Chan kind of action movies.
