Suicide Squad (2016)
Garbage!
Total waste of space. Further more, a real insult to the comic fans to see their well honed characters in such distorted on-screen characterisations. There has been almost no regard to the source material. The director is armature at best, clumsy and messy most of the time. The only good scene was added by Zack Snyder which stood heads and shoulders above this mediocre film. Avoid. The cast was generally good, though I thought Will Smith looked and sounded like the fresh prince on a Halloween Night special. I would rate this a FF4 type of disaster. not something I would pay to see again or even the first time if I was so forewarned.
Ring of the Nibelungs (2004)
Good movie
** May contain spoilers **
Excellent movie, surprisingly good actors and special FX for the budget. Overall, not a bad way to spend an evening with the kids.
Nice depth to most of the characters. Max Von Sydow in particular is one of my favourite character actors, and in this he shines amongst the younger players.
The plot has quite a few twists but don't expect a fairy tale happy ending.
Oh although the stories have similarities, there is no proved link between the two and Tolkien denied any influence of "Ring of the Nibelungs" with his epic Lord of the Rings. I think this films marketing dept. should get its facts right.
