The Suicide Squad (2021) - Movie Review

 

DC Meets Marvel Director

What happens when you put a great cast with a proven directory like James Gunn? Not the movie I was saw. The cast was great. I didn't even realize Sylvester Stallone and Nathan Fillion were in the movie. Add to the known cast of Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, and John Cena among other and this should have been a great movie.

I think my daughter summed it up the best as a horrible movie that was so bad, you had to watch it. My impression is that you took the group movie like Guardians of the Galaxy and threw in Deadpool dialog. It did not work in my opinion.

Review

The cast were great. You really felt for their characters. The story had a lot of promise. Cinematography was very good. Dialog destroyed this movie. Not all of it was bad but it felt like the dialog dropped the f-bomb every fourth or fifth word. R rating had nothing to do with fighting.

Joker got away with their R rating and it was an okay movie. Birds of Prey had an R rating and was about as good as this movie. Overall, I am glad I was able to watch this on HBOMax with no extra cost. I am scared as the movie end credit scenes exists to setup a sequel.

Rating

This gets a SD rating mainly for the dialog. If you like the cast or characters and can watch it for free, go for it. I don't have plans to add this to my movie collection but I if a deal comes up, you never know. Look at the fact I added Hellboy (2019) to my collection. lol.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
