    This seemed to have potential...but just came across as kinda cheap and bland. I wanted to like it, but it's really just a creative waste of time and not worth even looking into or checking out. Just pass on it. Blah.

    Ominously dark, loaded with splashy visual special effects and soundtrack whooshes and vrooms, with costumes by the Frederick's of Hollywood Martial Arts Division, Birds of Prey bogs down early in lengthy and tedious exposition, the sort of back-story explanation that scriptwriters call "laying pipe." [8 Oct 2002, p.E-6]

    Worth watching for anyone interested in comic-book fantasy with a solemn bent. [8 Oct 2002, p.E1]

    With Birds of Prey, Kalogridis has crafted a tidy concept, crossing an idol with a villain to make a new breed --- slightly naughty, definitely conflicted but with some serious kick-ass power.
