Review of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) by Rick-Cast — 11 Feb 2020

This film breaks my heart as a DC comic book fan of the original and iconic Birds of Prey by Chuck Dixon. This is far removed far removed from the classic version that never should've been used in the first place. The characters, Huntress, Canary and most infuriating Cassandra Cain were do not resemble their comic book counterparts both in appearance and in character. The idea of this film being called birds of prey without even Barbara Gordon(Oracle) is a crime. They should've just called this film Harley Quinn or the Gotham City Sirens (with Poison Ivy) becasue 90 percent of the film wasn't about the team.

All aside, the casting is decent(Margot Robbie can do no wrong as Harley Quinn), the usage of colour The use of colourswere great and I found some moments of entertainment through some of its action sequences hat mostly make no sense.However this film fails on lack of characterization, decent story, generic to boring and laughable villain(played greatly by Ewan Mcgregor),heesy acting from most of the cast, the apparent sexisim tone in this film and lack of motivation for the characters except fight the patriarchy. This was a laughable film that tries too hard to be like Deadpool. DC should start reading comics from the golden age and take notes before lazily take titles of beloved franchises and make unnecessary changes from the classic comics.All aside, the casting is decent(Margot Robbie can do no wrong as Harley Quinn), and some fun action scenes that mostly make no sense.However this film fails on lack of characterization, decent story, generic to boring and laughable villain(played by Obi Wan) and lack of motivation for the characters except fight the patriarchy.
