The Review: Birds Of Prey

 


Birds Of Prey 2/10

This was a Netflix movie. I just finished watching Birds of Prey aka Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). I don't have a whole lot to say about this even though when I don't like a movie my reviews tend to be longer. This movie is about Harley Quinn trying to survive because everyone now knows she and Joker are no longer together so they want to kill her. There is also a little girl being tracked down because she stole a diamond that belongs to Huntress' family and worth a lot. They also need the kid to shit out the diamond. I laughed at how bad the fights looked where people were sent flipping and flying from a punch or kick. The music was trash. I hated every song in this. The writing, particularly for the little girl, was distractedly bad. The characters are so far removed from their comic book and/or cartoon versions that this could have just been called something else. How you gonna introduce four important ass characters in one movie shoehorned into what is a Harley Quinn film? I have zero desire to see a movie with any of these characters again and I hope that in the new Suicide Squad film this is not mentioned. This was a long shiny music video.
