Willpower. The significance of this word, formed from two words, I've understood many times. There is a famous saying, "If you desire something from the heart, the whole world conspires to bring it to you."

"The Martian" celebrates that willpower. I'm not a movie critic, and I won't analyze the accuracy of the movie's realism. I'll just say this: "The Martian" will inspire a teenager to dream of becoming an astronaut, driving them to join NASA or CNSA. It will provide the motivation to not lose one's identity amidst countless dangers.

The inclusion of impressive one-liners within a serious storyline kept a smile on my face throughout the movie. "In your face, Neil Armstrong!" is unforgettable. "The Martian" has already been labeled the first "real" movie about Mars.

Yes, perhaps not all of the movie's presentation is 99.99% accurate. Some might find the portrayal of astronaut "Mark Watney," played by Matt Damon, with his over-the-top, arrogant, and cocky personality, irritating, but I won't blame him. As they say, "When you want to gain something extraordinary, you have to do something extraordinary."

Finally, if I were to make a list of my favorite sci-fi movies, "The Martian" would probably be in the top three. Sir Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Alien, Exodus), a true winner doesn't always need a medal. Take a bow!

The movie is like a vanilla ice cream. Nothing memorable, yet enjoyable. The positives of the movie were compact presentation, Ashton Kutcher and Reese - two good looking leads, and some feel good moments. Music is not remarkable but enjoyable. The teenage kid did a good job. Comedy and Drama both were very vanilla. Overall if you have a lazy afternoon to pass, this can be a good movie. The actress Choe Zao was pretty. Another good things were the locations. The iconic view of LA and NY were eye soothing.

Among the negatives, the main plot is kind of hard to believe. And some minor weakness of the debutant director might be present.

Personal 6.5/10.

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021) .

"Relive the Superhero Experience with James Gunn" .

When James Gunn brought Guardians Of The Galaxy in 2014 he brought about a revolution in Superhero Movie experience. It was an antithesis to traditional emotional Straight-Faced action based superhero movie. After 7 years, I should say, James Gunn brought out our "SUPERHERO MOVIE PRO MAX" .

GOTG was a movie of Misfits. And which group is the Legendary icon of Misfits? Yes, the one and only DC supervillains The Suicide Squad. So when a proven director is given the task to bring out a fitting flick with this misfits, he didn't miss.

. Suicide Squad is a cliched film. This is A Film of mostly Cliches. But sometimes that's what we need. But everyone do their cliches perfectly. There is a Groot in King Shark who wants to "Nom Nom". The Harley Quinn is 10 times better than Star-Lord. And there is some original characters to sympathise for, like Colonel Rick Flag, and even "The Starfish".

. Apart from the MVP Margot Robbie, James Gunn pretty much changes the Squad ensemble, and boy, How fine they were!

. This movie doesn't takes it seriously for a split second. But still it will reach your heart with the one-liners. And regarding technical things, what a superb production design! Discovered some great songs through the film.

. DC are redeeming themselves with their later projects, TSS gives them a Nitro-Boost. Go watch the best Superhero movie of This decade!

. Personal: 8.5/10.
