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.

Family Man 2 on Amazon Prime - Series Review

 Who needs to watch this?

If you have seen Family Man season one and was totally bowled over by it or if you have not seen Family Man yet and reading this review or Manoj Bajpai's fans.

Why you need to watch this?

Manoj Bajpai, Raj and DK, Manoj Bajpai, Samantha, Manoj Bajpai, Priymani, Manoj Bajpai, Sharib Hashmi, Manoj Bajpai.

Streaming: Amazon Prime

Family Man Season one almost single handedly put Indian Web Series on World OTT map. And when the makers announced the name of Samantha for season two, the hype shot through the sky. But for now let's keep Samantha's name aside.

Family Man two comfortably starts where it left off in season one. The characters are reintroduced in smaller changes in setups. Srikanth is in IT, Suchi stopped working, TASC is without Srikanth etc. But you know it will all change and it takes few episodes. From then on the usual cat and mouse game between the cops and the LTTE(I assume). Srikanth's daughter's episode too acts just as a filler. You see that coming too right from the beginning. 

Family Man 2 hardly has any fireworks like the first one and political satires  have become so subtle. very unlike Raj and DK. But there are pieces of brilliance in this. The initial reveal of Samantha is one, then the Police station single take shot, Samantha Chase shot and climax shooting shot. The single take shots achieved in this season speak volumes about the technical crew. 

Now coming to Samantha, I felt she was very underutilized. She improved a lot from the days of 10 Endrathukulla's negative role. She is okay in this one but her role is only half developed. Besides her Manoj as usual shines bright and shoulders the season well. Rest of the supporting cast is apt.

Overall, Family Man Season Two falls below expectations and remains just an average fare.
