you give mary elizabeth winstead a crossbow and a motorcycle, ewan mcgregor a moulin rouge! shout out and a blue velvet suit, chris messina a platinum blonde buzzcut and some truly deranged dialogue, and harley quinn a legitimate voice, and i will give my first ever ❤️ to a superhero movie.
had to take a 3 mile walk afterwards because i was so jacked on the Power of Women and Ewan Saying “EWWW” — cathy yan when i get locked up for excessive high-kicking the bail is on you!!!
margot robbie has a scene where she skates to "barracuda" by heart, just like she did in i, tonya. 10/10 best picture
I just wrote & deleted a bunch of stuff about the superficial elements of BOP that I liked because there's one thing about this movie that struck me in particular and I don't want to write a literary thesis about any movie that has a slow, dramatic cover of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" on the soundtrack. Real quick I'll say: McGregor delivers my favorite villain performance. Smollet-Bell & Winstead are terrific. Movie is beautiful, fun, choreography rules, the humor really worked for me, almost gets too Deadpool-y but bounces back, it's easily my favorite DC film since The…

Birds of Prey ends with 20 minutes of colorful and flawlessly choreographed action. It says “fuck you” to traditional comic book endings and leaves you feeling like you actually did see a movie take that style in a fun and unique direction. Unfortunately almost everything before those last 20 minutes is a typical messy and heartless superhero film covered in glitter and empty eccentricity. The highs of this make me excited for another Harley Quinn film (if that happens) the lows had me questioning if anybody out there really likes this character. Cool fact: the person in front of me threw up halfway through the film.
Intermittently very clever and frequently very funny, punctuated with a lot of sturdy action choreography and sharp editing (courtesy Chad Stahelski, I'm led to believe). The flashback structure kills a ton of momentum though, and this meanders a lot until the characters finally team up (it helps that all of the actresses are a lot of fun to watch). Personally I'd have liked it if Harley Quinn seemed a bit more vicious and scary, but that's not the movie they're selling here. MVP Ewan McKraken.

Harley Quinn voted for Bernie and owns a pet hyena. That alone makes it better than Joker.
I love the *idea* of a colorful DC carnival ride like this, insufferably long title and all, but the first half is dire. Poor narration and a structure that can only be described as pointless essentially halts much of Birds of Prey to slog status. The action in the climax is pretty fun, and solid from a technical standpoint, deploying long-takes, slow-motion, and a coherent sense of style, although it's far too late to attempt to cover up the lingering Suicide Squad stench. All of these characters, even Harley Quinn, are cardboard cutouts, and their backstories are interminable subplots folding in on…
I really enjoy this movie and it's a shame that it is struggling to do well at the box office. The movie has kick ass action and funny humor. It was also cool they included a gay character that was important to the story and treated her sexuality as incidental instead of doing it to a throwaway character and patting themselves on the back for how progressive they are. I give it an 8/10
I was really indifferent towards this film when the trailer hit but this was surprisingly a lot of fun. It’s essentially DC’s equivalent of Deadpool so if you like those movies you’ll like this. Margot Robbie was born to play Harley Quinn but Ewan McGregor’s wonderfully campy portrayal of Black Mask really stole the show for me. It also features some of the most creative action sequences in the DCU thus far. I wouldn’t drop what your doing right now to go see this but overall this was pretty solid.
soundtrack slapped, wardrobe slapped, women literally slapped. what more could you want?
Style over substance, but hey, I am not complaining.
The real question is, did Warner Bros learn their lesson?
Yes. Yes they did. They are multi-billion cooperate, of course they did.
Good news for all you lesbians who were turned by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Scott Pilgrim (2010)
Seeing it again on Friday.
Chaotic and irreverent with heart hidden under its rebellious surface. What really pulls Birds of Prey together is that while each character puts up a facade, there are real empathetic humans underneath. Each of the "birds" have connected struggles, fears or vendettas which eventually require them to work together and help each other in a satisfying third act payoff.
Cathy Yan directs with an effervescent energy that leaps off the screen. The style is frenetic and loose. The action is violent and unrestrained. It's refreshing to see a superhero movie with bone-crunching action that feels more grounded than the overblown CGI spectacle that usually comes with the genre.
It isn't perfect. The opening half hour feels somewhat messy, yanking you…
Had so much fun with this! Margot Robbie proves herself inspired casting as Harley. I genuinely felt like everyone in this was having fun making it. Graphic af but theres something to be said about that in a female led movie. FEMALE GAZE FEMALE GAZE FEMALE GAZE
