Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Movie was decent, but the fact that this even got decent reviews is seriously unsettling
Resurrections have long been a staple of comic books. DC itself has numerous characters who have been resurrected, with lazarus pits, reincarnations etc. Then why was it that Steve's resurrection had to involve a an innocent man basically getting raped.
Steve's soul inhabits the body of some random guy, who is then basically left unconscious in his own body(kinda like Peter in Superior Spider-Man), and Diana, seemingly aware of this, bones him regardless. I don't like the "Imagine if genders were reverse argument", but if Diana was a guy, the entire cast would get cancelled immediately.
Suicide Squad (2016)
A cash grab at it's worst
Let me start by saying that Suicide Squad is the worst comic book movie in existence. Poor writing, improper acting, flat and stupid jokes render this movie as nothing more than a silly cash grab .
Spoilers ahead.
Let us start with the plot. First we get an hour of improperly placed flashbacks which are absolutely of no use to the plot. After the introduction of Squad members we get an hour of Suicide Squad meets the Walking dead, with brainless action of Squad members facing weird goons. The movie focuses so much on Deadshot and Harley that it could be called Deadshot, Harley and some others. I say 'some others' as the movie treats all other squad members except El Diablo as red shirts who serve no purpose other than making crony statements. Other squad members could very well be replaced by common soldiers and it would make no difference to the plot. Diablo is perhaps the only member who has any importance in moving the plot forward but he gets very little screen time to make his character interesting. His entire arc is as follows. Gets forced to go on mission, then gets forced into helping the team. Finally after a stupid, SHORT and crony conversation at a bar the guys he met only a few hours ago and wasn't helping when their lives were in danger become his FAMILY. He then transforms into an entity we have no information about to fight an entity we have no information about and dies.
The movie also suffers with terrible fight choreography and cinematography. Who the hell thought that it was a good idea to make the belly dancer who can kill every squad members in an instant fight the squad members in blue fog.
And please note that these people supposed to be BAD GUYZ and we don't see anything that proves that. In fact after they run away from the mission after their neck bombs are disarmed they return to help Rick Flag save his belly dancer girlfriend.
The big bad is the spirit of a centuries old belly dancing witch who is powerful enough to destroy the world and has possessed an extremely unprofessional archaeologist. Her only weakness is her heart. And both her heart and her were left without being monitored by the head of USA's covert organization named Argus.
