I am sick and tired of being told what movies I need to like as a woman, this is a bad movie.

It isn't a zero nor is it a ten and anyone rating it that way isn't being honest either with you or themselves. The storytelling is odd and the flashbacks are weirdly placed to the point where they take you out of the movie. This movie has too much exposition and then not enough which I congrats I guess. I don't think men are rating this film low because they are "man babies" I think they are rating it low because there are far better superhero and anti-hero movies out there to choose from. The fight scenes are fine at times and odd at others as if two different directors worked on this movie. This movie is fine if you shut your brain off and just watch and eat some popcorn. A should watch if it comes to Netflix but a skip if you are paying money for it. Go see 1917 instead or even Bad Boys if you want a pointless action movie they are much better.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're high on acid you might enjoy this movie since it has some wonderful visuals, but otherwise just avoid it, this is an awful film with few redeeming qualities. Margot Robbie puts in a decent performance as Harley Quinn, however I was confused if this was supposed to be about Harley Quinn or about the Birds of Prey, no matter what they were going for though, they failed. The film lacks solid direction and the narrative is just boring and at many times cliche. Unfortunately there is also a strong effort to push a far-left, woke and feminist social and political agenda in the film. This isn't done subtly and it is very on the nose. For example, every male character is portrayed as an idiot or an over the top misogynist. This will turn off a lot of audiences who just wanted to watch an entertaining film with a well written narrative and interesting characters without being lectured or preached to, which is exactly what this film is trying to do. You shouldn't have to tear down male characters in order to lift up female ones. An easy example is Sarah Connor from the first two Terminator films and Ellen Ripley from the Alien franchise, who are two of of most iconic characters in film history, wonderfully written and individuals you can look up to. Rosie Perez's character Renee Montoya doesn't work and it is also laughable to see a 55 year old woman beating up men younger and twice her size. On that note though I laughed at the end when Montoya was briefly fighting Harley Quinn, throughout the film, Quinn easily dispatches with any man who gets in her way, yet in this fight she struggles to overcome a much older, 55 year old woman (just thought id mention it). Laughably, Montoya is portrayed to be the only competent cop on the force and the men once again, are depicted as morons or misogynists. Roman Sionis/Black Mask, portrayed by Ewan McGregor, is an awful villain and is not really intimidating at all, they do their best to show him doing "evil" things, but instead I was just laughing at him. Not only is the character nothing like how he is written in the comic books and other source material, but instead he comes across like a child throwing temper tantrums, coming across like a much worse version of Kylo Ren. I do love Ewan McGregor, I think he is a wonderful actor and in this he puts in a decent enough performance, working with what he's given, however, I'm not sure if he was miscast or perhaps it's the dialogue or the screenplay as a whole, but it just doesn't work.

It's sad to see how they butchered a lot of these well known characters, they are nothing like how they are written in the comics. The changes to them are bewilderingly stupid at times and the writer seems to know barely anything about them, showing little to no respect for the foundations of these characters laid out in the comic books. Perhaps she was drunk at 1am writing it and briefly read some summaries on the wiki and said "I totally got this", then proceeded to spew whatever she could onto the page before passing out blackout drunk. Just a guess.

That being said, I did enjoy the look of the film, the visuals were quite enjoyable, at times the action was great and I loved the music. I wish I had more positive things to say but I'm struggling to think of any. Apart from Robbie and McGregor, the acting was alright, but nothing special. However, Cassandra Cain was just a terrible character though, actress Ella Jay Basco was fine and well cast, but the problem was with the writing and not her, just to make that clear. I don't mind flashbacks, but they weren't always used very well and some were repeated later in the film when we didn't need to see them, we already got the point you don't have to keep showing it over and over again. The Screenplay is objectively bad as well, which is quite sad since I do believe the Screenplay is the heart of any movie.

Initially, when I heard this film was in production I was excited. I love the character of Harley Quinn and the DC universe is one of my favourites. Although Suicide Squad wasn't the greatest I still loved the portrayal of Harley Quinn and was curious to see how a standalone movie would go. But sadly I hated this film. No, it's not a 0/10 or a 10/10, that's just being silly. It's a below average film that had all the right tools and cast to make an enjoyable film, instead they wasted them. Many departments in the production did an amazing job and they should be proud of what they achieved, I truly mean that. Sadly though it is a forgettable film that you should just avoid. But if you're high one night and need to kill some time and have your brain switched off, maybe this is the film for you.

There is a lot more to go into but since I'm almost at the word limit ill end it here. Have a lovely day and take care :D… Expand

The film is an absolute sacrilege. Every DC Comics character that appears in this film is treated like a stupid character. Black mask is ridiculous, Huntress is a 1-dimensional character, Montoya has no carisma...

The script structure doesn’t makes sense, it throws away the rhythm of the film. The photography isn’t bad, but it isn’t good neither. The visual effects are maybe the best thing of the film. And the post-credit scene is absolutely a terrible mistake. I don’t want films like this in the DCEU. For me, this isn’t canon.… Expand

Birds of Prey? More like Suicide Girl-squad against misogynist character-less villains in most boring plot since Suicide Squad.
Only good thing is Margot Robbie and some action scenes.

I have no problem with different interpretations of Harley Quinn, and this one wasn't too bad aside from her needing more unnecessary violent crazy behavior baked in, but the entire rest of the cast had no reason to be in the film. If sheI have no problem with different interpretations of Harley Quinn, and this one wasn't too bad aside from her needing more unnecessary violent crazy behavior baked in, but the entire rest of the cast had no reason to be in the film. If she needed help she should have gone to Ivy and that would have felt much more appropriate and focused to the film. The entire film felt choppy, the action scenes were frankly embarrassing, no character development aside from Harley (which still could have used some work), the plot was men are bad but I love men but they're the worst idk. This was an embarrassing experience and Harley deserved so so SO much more for her first leading performance film. I can only hope the sequel has NO Birds of Prey in it and the story revolves more around Harley discovering this yet to be villainized Ivy who's just coming to terms with her powers and they team up to get revenge on Ivy's enemies who turned her into Poison Ivy. I think most people would've enjoyed that story more than this one. Two girls taking revenge on the people who created them? Never mind I'm talking crazy, look at RT, people wanted THIS MOVIE!… Expand

There are so many dropped plot lines that I'm positive this movie was re-shot and rewritten at least a half dozen times, and it shows.

Poor Ewan McGregor deserved better than this after being the only decent actor in the prequels.

- music: if you enjoy free youtube music, then you will love this cause is the most generic music any hollywood movie ever had.
- harley quinn emancipation: she "kills" the joker, then everyone on gotham wants to crucifice her, just cause? she makes a deal to survive. goes from villain to opotunistic moron, then villain and so on untill the ending.
- rest of the cast: just names. NO character is truthful to their DC comics origins. its like if i take a random person from the street, i told her "you are huntress. you are a martial arts expert and you are a badass, here are your lines GO" and i put to film THE VERY FIRST shot (no time to have several takes)
- the fight choreography... its easy to think you are watching a kick boxing session cause MOST of the hits the actress trows to the stuntman's lands in mid air. kudos to the stuntman's that play the part of passing away from a kick two feet's away. bonus: more than one "henchmen" is given a tiny bit kick to the shin's, and they do a full flip on the air before landing (purposely) on their behind's. apparently someone turn off the gravity for those scenes and turn on "matrixing" that a single push of a feet finger over your feet makes you spin on the air like a cirque du soleil stuntman. AND THEY EVEN DO CLOSE UPS OF THE GUYS probably to cover the god awful choreography...

if you wanna spend your bucks, on a movie that is not intentionally or un-intentionally funny, be my guest. you are better trowing the bills to the fire than watching this garbage mess.… Expand

Plot: 7

The superhero movies of the year 2020 kicks off with the eighth instalment of DC Extended Universe, which features the return of Harley Quinn, who was last seen in 2016’s Suicide Squad, and the official debut of Black Canary, Huntress, Renee Montoya and Cassandra Cain in the big screen.

Taking place after the events of Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn (Robbie) officially declare her break up with the Joker publicly by destroying Ace Chemical factory using an oil tanker and throw away the necklace given to her from him. Her reckless actions have caused an open season on her head by many criminals in Gotham City who wants revenge on her now that they don’t have to fear retaliation from Joker himself.

Meanwhile, Roman Sionis/Black Mask (McGregor) sends Victor Zsasz and Dinah Lance/Black Canary to retrieve a valuable diamond which originally belong to a now extinct Mafia crime family. They successfully got the diamond without problem until a young street thief named Cassandra Cain (Basco) stole the diamond from Zsasz but she got arrested by the police soon after when she is caught for stealing other items.

Not happy with the diamond being stolen and the young thief now in police custody, Black Mask captures Harley and force her to retrieve the diamond from Cassandra in exchange for immunity from criminals wanting revenge on her. Black Canary secretly inform Detective Renee Montoya, who have been chasing after Black Mask for months. A mysterious assassin named Helena Bertinelli/Huntress, who have been killing criminals that is responsible for her family massacre, joins the party and everyone will soon cross paths with each other.

When this movie was first announced, I was expecting the movie will end up being bad just like Suicide Squad. However, I am happy to report that Birds of Prey is not bad and quite good. The movie is just like a combination of Deadpool and John Wick movies. Full of fun, violence and dark humours. The story is very much simple to follow and not too complicated. Christina Hodson have done a great job with her writing in this movie much like how she has done with 2018’s Bumblebee. Cathy Yan have proved herself to be a good director and yet this is her second feature film in her career. Not bad for her. She has done an outstanding job.

The performance from the casts are simply amazing. Margot Robbie and Ewan McGregor played their roles very well. Margot is still great as Harley just like she has portrayed her character in her last appearance and still never lost her touch. As for Ewan McGregor, he really done a great job in playing a ruthless and menacing villain. Aside from them, Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, whom they played Black Canary and Huntress respectively have done a great job too, especially the latter who manage to steal the show when she has the least amount of screen time compared to the others. As for Rosie Perez and Ella Jay Basco, they done good job in their performance but for Ella, her character bears no resemblance to her comic book counterpart which hurts the movie a little. Hopefully in the next movie, she will have a better character development into her comic book counterpart.

The fighting scenes in this movie are very well shot by Chad Stahelski, who is well known as the director of John Wick movies. Using his experience from those movies, he has made the fighting scenes looked awesome and violent just like what was seen in John Wick movies. While the movie is great, there are some flaws. I felt the movie is a little too short on the runtime and should have been longer since this is a team movie. Despite being a team movie, the characters did not spend much time on screen together until the final act.

Although the story is simple to follow, there are not many surprises in the movie as there are no cameos from Joker and even Batman. Not even a plot twist which I personally think it’s better not to have one because it may ruin the narrative of the story in a bad way. Even with all these flaws at the end of the day, Birds of Prey is so much better team movie than Suicide Squad and even 2017’s Justice League. That said, I look forward to see Harley again in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad in 2021. With DC Extended Universe now having four good movies including this one, I hope to see the franchise keep moving forward. There is no post credits scene but there is a post-credits audio sequence from Harley Quinn. Next stop: Wonder Woman 1984.… Expand

They picked a great time to release it due to the fact the Harley Quinn is really hot right now. They are pushing her and people are taking a liking to this new anti-hero. I will say first and foremost if you don't like Harley Quinn SKIP THIS MOVIE. I shouldn't have to say that but people love to see something they know they have a bias against just to hate on it. Birds of Prey is a fun movie that is bug nuts crazy, but super enjoyable. I had a good time while watching it. A lot of the jokes miss yet the ones that hit are genuinely funny. For me it was Black Mask played by Ewan Mcgregor who steals the show. He knows he is in a comic book movie and just makes the film his own. Seriously ever second he is on screen playing his psycho mob boss made me want a Goodfellas style movie with him in it. The movie is rated R which helps it a lot. There is cussing and enough violence to make you pleased with it being basically about a villain. I enjoyed this film and would recommend it for a fun rental to drinks a couple of beers with and enjoy some popcorn just for a good time.… Expand

Ewan McGregor completely steals the show in what might be his best performance, completely devouring the scenery with his insane expressions and bizarre dialogue. As a fan of the comics it's also fun seeing Zsasz as Black Mask's sidekick. Margo Robbie reprises her role as the only good thing about suicide squad, and Montoya was a surprisingly likeable addition to the team. The effects were great, the plot was stupid, and the soundtrack was inspired. The sequence were Harley imagines her current situation as a music video was pretty hilarious as well. A great, dumb, and **** ridiculous movie. I haven't been this entertained in a cinema for years.

A bad attempt at comical, and never remotely close to comic hero. And then there's the inconsistency: One moment she's a vulnerable weakling without a man's protection, being targeted by every one in the city and she cant' even fend for herself against a single foe in hand-to-hand combat. A few scenes later she's armed, punching, kicking, and taking on an entire uniformed legion.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film breaks my heart as a DC comic book fan of the original and iconic Birds of Prey by Chuck Dixon. This is far removed far removed from the classic version that never should've been used in the first place. The characters, Huntress, Canary and most infuriating Cassandra Cain were do not resemble their comic book counterparts both in appearance and in character. The idea of this film being called birds of prey without even Barbara Gordon(Oracle) is a crime. They should've just called this film Harley Quinn or the Gotham City Sirens (with Poison Ivy) becasue 90 percent of the film wasn't about the team.
All aside, the casting is decent(Margot Robbie can do no wrong as Harley Quinn), the usage of colour The use of colourswere great and I found some moments of entertainment through some of its action sequences hat mostly make no sense.However this film fails on lack of characterization, decent story, generic to boring and laughable villain(played greatly by Ewan Mcgregor),heesy acting from most of the cast, the apparent sexisim tone in this film and lack of motivation for the characters except fight the patriarchy.

They made basically every man misogynistic and stupid, and they just HAD to have a scene of a dude trying to seduce a girl nonconsensually, and then another girl comes to save the day and beats the guy up. LMAO! Incredibly cliche. Movies like these are always bad. You don't need to put down another gender using feminism to make a good movie. You can easily make a good movie whilst having feminism. Why do you think Wonder Woman did so well? Because it wasn't all in your face "girl power". It was, this is a powerful human, who happens to be a woman, who knows she's powerful and kicks ass, as a superhero does. She didn't need to prove it at all because we already knew. I loved Harley, she was almost perfect, but the other characters were the ones that were really trying to 'prove' their power unintentionally, it seemed. And they ruined Black Mask. I ended up walking out at the scene when Black Mask and his crew tries to ambush all the women. Such a disappointment.… Expand

Here with Birds of Prey I find myself asking myself similar questions: What is the uniqueness to the plot? Why does Quinn seem pointless as a character? Why choose this cast? Overall, there is countless questions that comes about from this movie.

Overall, this movie isn't much better than Suicide Squad (which may have been the worst movie I've ever seen). The acting was absolutely atrocious, with Margot Robbie essentially saving the day with her role of Harley Quinn. Although it still seemed forced and dragged, it felt like Robbie was trying to carry the entire movie on her shoulders, which unfortunately could not happen. The screenplay was pointless, I am still questioning why someone would actually write something up like this and actually say it was good. It is baffling. The aggressive, relentless, and tiresome force to shove women's equal rights down people's throats was nauseating as well. I am all for women's rights and the injustices that women fight for on a consistent basis, but this was poorly articulated in the film. The portrayal of certain characters pains me to see because some of them have great stories behind them.

Unfortunately, I find myself seeing this movie as a wanna be Deadpool movie for DC (except Deadpool is actually good). I could say a lot more, but it seems pointless to write something on this movie anyways. This movie is just bad, I do not understand why DC can't make good movies.… Expand

There are two massive, inescapable elephants in the room though. A clear misandrist platform and like Wonder Woman and Aquaman (the two worst DC movies in recent memory) its trying WAY too hard to model these films after Disney. I am not going to go into the sexism rampant in the film because too many other reviewers will. However the Disney tropes are every bit as rampant from start to finish and ultimately what it causes is the film to be BORING. Each scene trying too hard to outdo the last scene till it just becomes a boring slog that will lull you to sleep with how "awesome" it thinks it is.

I REALLY wanted to like this. Despite being REALLY sexist given the setting of a BoP film I only deducted two points for that. What gutted the film 5 points is yet again this is another example of DC trying to hard to be like Disney and when you have DC degrading itself to be like the #EvilestCorporationOnEarth what is the point of watching what is like 70% the same you would get from the plague rat?

Warner Brothers is going to have to do something to right this ship and unfortunately, Robert Pattinson is NOT going to be the salvation either.… Expand

The fight scenes are incredibly pathetic, some of the worst I've ever seen.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been longing for Hollywood to make a good female-led action film to join "Aliens". I'm still waiting.

Harley Quinn may be the protagonist, but it's the antagonist that makes a movie and Roman Sionis, played by the usually reliable Ewan McGregor, falls far short of being any challenge whatsoever. He struts, prances and preens around the screen but does absolutely nothing to show he's a match for Harley; a troop of Cub Scouts could take him down. A more worthy antagonist would've been Joker.

In "Suicide Squad", she had Will Smith to help carry the load, but here, there's nothing to her other than some flashy fight moves, and while those held me for a little while, there was nothing else for me to hold my interest, so I got bored less than halfway through.

Don't waste your time with this.… Expand

The director and screenwriter will remain nameless, in the hope that they can put this unfortunate effort behind them and go on to use their obvious skills to make a film that’s interesting and important at some point in the future. “Birds of Prey” is simply a bad idea poorly executed. For some reason, the creative team has confused chaos with character development. And they seem to believe that, by embracing anarchy, they are relieved of any obligation to develop a coherent story. It doesn’t work for the Safdie Brothers (that’s right, “Uncut Gems”) and it sure doesn’t work here. Filling any film with manic activity eventually gets tiresome when it’s all just totally random.

In case you care, Harley (Margot Robbie) gets into conflict with supervillain Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor), who tends to cut the faces off people who annoy him. In order to get back into Roman’s good graces, since she no longer has the protection of Joker, she must find and deliver to Roman a gigantic diamond. Blah, blah, blah.

The actors here really aren’t to blame. Robbie (so deserving of Oscar consideration for “I, Tonya” and this year’s “Bombshell”) has committed fully to the irrational exuberance of her character. Regrettably, she was apparently contractually committed to doing incessant voiceovers in an accent that made me yearn to stab my eardrums with sharp pencils. Her accent, and the content she is required to deliver, make the voiceovers in “Deadpool” seem Shakespearean. In “Deadpool,” there’s at least an amusing tone of self-deprecation. But then, self-deprecation and irony require self-awareness and this film has none.

Given the similar source material, it’s not surprising that “Birds of Prey” trades in the same nihilism as this year’s “Joker.” But unlike “Joker,” this film offers no broader social commentary, no larger point.

One strong element of the film is its approach to the violence that appears on the screen in nearly non-stop fashion. Using a series of continuous, slow-motion long shots, the creative team has given the violence an almost balletic appearance (in the Hong Kong style of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”).

The most unpardonable aspect of this film is its apparent belief that if it says “girl power” often enough or even hints at “female empowerment,” all sins will be forgiven. This is a film written, directed and starring women. But that doesn’t make it creative, interesting or worthwhile. In fact, at key points, the women demonstrate some startlingly male traits – self-absorption, an enthusiasm for irrational violence and, worst, a capacity to perceive other women as friends only when it’s convenient. All of this leaves any gender themes perched atop a very rickety thematic structure that threatens to topple under its own weight at any minute.… Expand

They had a sort of good thing going with suicide squad but this just pushes the limits to far. It's great that we have more women as strong protagonists, but it just could have been done a lot better. If we look at movies and TV-shows with great female protagonists like Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) in Hidden Figures, Ciri (Freya Allan) in The Witcher or Hermione Granger (Emma watson) in Harry Potter they really played their roles well and they don't just push it for recognition or awards; but i seems like they played their roles not expecting awards or applause; it just seems more natural. I can not say the same about this movie though, it really has become the standard Hollywood sellout; "They've got a got gig out and just sell out for max profit.

Unless you really need to watch it; please stay away.… Expand

The color palette of the film is good despite sinning in a sequence of dark and light tones in certain parts of the work. I would not recommend spending your money on it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Poorly handled movie on one of my favorite super teams from DC Comics & it really disappointed me. I was expecting an amazing movie due to Rotten Tomatoes but I was just slapped in the face for expecting something with substance. By the very same brand that has a badass movie like Wonder Woman. I don’t have words for the regret I have for spending money on this movie. If this was a straight to DVD or an exclusive movie on DCU. I would probably be more satisfied than wasting over 100 minutes on a glorified Ghostbusters 2016 & Oceans 8. This is bordering Suicide Squad level of disappointment. I’m more interested in A Quest for Peace than I am this movie.oglorified Ghostbusters(2016) Al… Expand

This movie reinforces the idea that the focus for Margot was only on herself and her character while dissing comic book fans. She also made the assumption that female comic fans like myself only like Harley Quinn which is another insult because she didn't think we would notice the assassination of these characters. The film is mediocre at best like last comic book films such as Elekta or Green Lantern but it looks childish and sloppy next to a film like Joker.… Expand

Suicide Squad reloaded. Bland, boring movie. Maybe a good popcorn flick, if you DON´T expect any interesting character development OR a good storyline. It´s all about women = good, men = bad.

I like most of the recent DC films that have come out in the last few year, so my opinion might be the odd opinion.

I am aI like most of the recent DC films that have come out in the last few year, so my opinion might be the odd opinion. One film I didn't like though was Suicide Squad and this film hits a lot of the same notes that failed that film. I am a Margot Robbie fan, and she is amazing as always in Birds of prey, just everything else felt off, the world they have built here feels uninteresting and the styles and costumes are just NOT appealing to me. I Really didn't like the clothes Harley was wearing, I don't think she should have do the whole sexy psycho thing, but at least a little femme fatale would be good. In this film she is dressed like a 5 year old or a cat lady or something. Part of Harley charm has always been the fact she is drop dead gorgeous and insanely intelligent. But at the same time she is straight up dangerous and even though every man wants her , most a to scared to even try. In Birds of Prey she doesn't come across as attractive at all, she is actually sort of gross ,they have leaned into the "Mental Patient" look way to much.… Expand

A film that has a villain skinning off the faces of people and holding the skin of the victims face while they are still alive says it all about what type of sick movie this is, this is what people like for entertainment today?… Expand

First off, the film doesn't feature enough of the title characters outside of the climax and the editing, unfortunately, reeks of Suicide Squad at many points and definitely should have been refined. At the very least, unlike the aforementioned film, this film has something resembling a real plot, although the plot is pedestrian at best. Finally, the film does not use its R-rating to its full potential outside of childish profanity-laced throughout, with very little of the humor landing. This film serves as an unfortunate step backward for the DCEU just as it felt like it found its footing.… Expand
