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. The visuals are gross but it aint Kill Bill. Kill Bill romanticizes with violence but Suicide Squad tries to romanticize with gross elements. To say the least, it doesn't work in favor of the movie.

Check - Telugu Movie Review

Check movie starring Nitin was kind of a small come back to Chandrasekhar Yeleti's genre, thriller. Mr. Yeleti is the most under-appreciated supremely talented screenplay writer and director of Telugu cinema. Most of his movies suffer from lack of budget but never lack of novelty and originality.

That is where Check is different. Right from the word go, Check has shades of a cult classic Hollywood movie and disappointingly it lifts many scenes from that mainly. Coming to screenplay, Check is the most boring screenplay ever by Mr. Yeleti. It is so boring you can't believe it is by him. The way chess is extensively used for promotions is another let down. There is hardly any chess. It does not even help as a diversion too. 

Nitin, Priya, Rakul and Simran are alright and as are the rest of the cast. Sampath is plain loud while Murali Sharma's role is very fuzzy. Music is a big drawback. Camerawork and art work border on being bad. 

In short, I tried very hard to find good things about this movie by one of my favorite film makers of Telugu cinema and I am disappointed.
