Suicide Squad 2 - Movie Review
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. Idris Elba is absent in some parts of the movie and you don't even feel his absence.Whoever casted a bad actor like John Cena, should be shown the door. John Cena is the biggest thorn in this painful watch of a movie.
Margot again proves why she is a star and makes this movie bearable with her presence. Her action episode in the movie is the only delight of the movie. The way she adopts to the role of Harley Quinn is appreciable. Bad news she is absent for almost half of the movie. Do not let me start on the super messy illogical climax. Just because they are Suicide Squad, you don't have to pop the team members like dominoes. Polka dot thrower was under-utilized. Please learn a thing or two from Marvel on how to make use of super powers of super heroes.
Suicide Squad should have been the redemption DC was seeking for but unfortunately it takes it few steps back.
