Birds of Prey (2020)
3/10
the people who rate it 10 or 1 are liars... it's a HARD 3.
14 February 2020
To say Birds Of Prey is the worst movie in the DCU (slightly worse than Shazam, Green Lantern & Suicide Squad NOT as bad as Catwoman.) is not reflecting that the movie while flawed was quite entertaining at times.

But THAT being said it was clearly 3/10, & the people who rate it 10 or 1 are liars, delusional or JUST flat out haven't even seen it.

Margot Robbie as always is great, but the character, just like in Suicide Squad is BEST in moderation & AMAZING when used sparingly & occasionally.

The writing was very poor, & action inconsistent.

The swearing & graphic violence were completely unnecessary. Like 2019's Hellboy, the R rating was a HUGE MISTAKE.

The action went from Power Rangers kids afternoon TV slapstick, to broken bones really strangely. Harley has never been an R-rated character, but I guess they wanted to pull 'Logan, Deadpool' money which I kind of doubt they will with how ridiculous the SJW, Neo-Feminism & misandry was (all villains are white men, slow, mean, stupid, rapists...).

Canary, Huntress, Batgirl, Zsasz & Black Mask were unrecognizable & really weak pale versions of their interesting & exciting comic counterparts & Montoyas casting & character was a REALLY bad fit. Rosie Perez looked uncomfortable the whole movie, & her 55 year old cop character joining a team of super heroes was stupid & made no sense.

Costuming design was bad, casting was terrible.

Ewan Macgregor should not have accepted this after reading how cringe his role & the story was.

A lot of mistakes, poor decisions & a lot of stolen stuff from Deadpool, Suicide Squad & Spider-Man cartoon & probably 100 other things. Mindless fun for the die-hard cosplayer, weak to annoying viewing for a superhero fan or average adult...
