The Best and Worst Movie of the Year (Respectively). First up....

 
Captain America: Civil War

The good thing about being resuscitated today is Captain America and Bucky no longer have to hide their gay relationship.

Mind you, this action/fantasy still plays it as a brotherly bond.

When someone gains access to the Winter Soldier’s (Sebastian Stan) trigger words, they order him to attack a UN conference on the registration of enhanced humans.

Now Cap (Chris Evans) and some like-minded Avengers (Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Jeremy Renner) are opposing Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) and the rest (Scarlett Johansson, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle) in order to protect Bucky, and their right to fight ungoverned.

While it’s the third entry in the Cap franchise, Civil War feels like a mini Avengers movie considering the number of cameos in it. Fortunately, Cap remains at the forefront of this multifaceted and masterfully crafted chapter.

However, unlike America’s other Civil War this version has a serious lack of Mutton Chops. 



Suicide Squad

When assembling a team of suicidal soldiers always ensure they wear parachutes when free falling into a mission.

Oddly, the miserable crew in this action movie is more inclined to kill others.

When an ancient evil (Cara Delevingne) transforms the inhabitants of Midway City into ferocious monstrosities, military high-up Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) orders the formation of an elite taskforce of super criminals.

Under the authority of Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), and the control of explosive body-implants, marksman Deadshot (Will Smith), psychopath Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and others (Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) are dispatched to defeat the threat.

A hodgepodge of hokey fantasy, low-rent super-powers and innumerable shootouts, DC’s film adaptation of its obscure comic book is yet another misfire from the company’s second-rate canon. And while Robbie does embody Harley, her performance is reduced to eye-candy. 

Ironically, most soldiers who do see military action end up suicidal. 

He's a Happy Hourglass. He's the...
