Lo and behold, the first big summer movie:
His 3-hour action-adventure about a leader who accomplishes the feat of making Conan the Barbarian look like a wimp. Indian action/time epic 'Baahubali 2:

The conclusion is everything I want, but one you rarely get from superheroes or big-budget fantasy movies: larger-than-life characters fight here. In particular, the beloved warrior king Amarendra Baahubali (Prabhas) and his jealous cousin Bala (Rana Dhagvati) fight. For the Mashimati throne as they dramatically declare, vanish into the void, impale or decapitate their enemies, and sing their exploits.
Thanks to a delightfully short flashback scene and appropriately bombastic expository dialogue, Baahubali 2 viewers can:
In "Conclusion", you don't need to watch the previous films to know what's at stake...even better:
The action choreography is evocative, the operatic plot is compelling, and genuine optimism dampens the blood-spurting and thunderous sound effects that accompany the film's moving set. This is a flashy, big-budget movie with an infectious zest that will get you hooked every time, as key plot points are hidden to bring about the next big conflict. Loud, gory, musical I have a number.

A sure sign of quality:
Despite some very blatant morality, Baahubali 2 does enough to care about characters as morally upright as biblical figures and as relatable as escapees from children's fairy tales. Inspiring. Indeed, Amarendra possesses superhuman strength, agility and filial piety (like many men in Indian cinema, he worships his mother). This is because in this universe rights seem to create power at first. But as the film progresses, it becomes clear that despite good intentions (emphasized in a speech worthy of Frank Capra), even the best people can be manipulated into committing crimes against each other. This is the case for Bala, an innocent character whose natural jealousy is manipulated into hating his cousin by his petty father, Villaradeva (Nassar). And finally, it also applies to Baahubali's mother Sivagami (Ramia Krishnan) and her uncle/counselor Kattappa (Sathyaraj).

Often portrayed as symbols of virtue and vice, it's refreshing to see how these characters test their will through various trials, sometimes failing. As such, it may indicate a character flaw. But they can also suggest that good people can make big mistakes. It's refreshing to be here.

So is the fact that both Sivagami and Baahubali's devoted wife Devasena (Anushka Shetty) have more than token influence and power throughout the film. Fight alongside Baahubali as he struggles to stay untouched by the promise of power (the throne!) without appearing weak even before his traitorous brother and manipulative uncle. Prabhas' character is admired not only for his superhuman physical feats, but also for his ability to make Solomon-like decisions before gloriously looking into the camera, giving a short speech, and then rushing into the fray.

 Worth it.
