Review of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) by Aynks — 10 Feb 2020

Listen, as a constant movie goer who enjoys to see movies from DC and Marvel, I am consistently underwhelmed by how poor DC movies have been ever since Nolan stopped with Batman. 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.
