It's always controversial to review a title like this. On one side we have the people who blindly defend something and on the other side we have the people who's blindly against something ....and everybody's blaming the other for giving unfair scores for different reasons.

Oh well. Here's my opinion. The script and the dialougue is terrible - often cringeworthy - and the directing is bad (...and here's where people would accuse me of being a male chauvinist just because the writer and the director is female.) But if i know that the actors are great normally (Perez, Winstead, McGregor) and bad in a specific movie, the script and the directing is to blame. Robbie is the only one that manages to be somewhat decent, despite the terrible dialogue. God knows why they hired a writer and a director who's both new and without any noticeable work in their short history in movies.

Birds of Prey (2020) is a movie we saw in theatres shortly after it came out. The storyline focuses on Harley Quinn post Suicide Squad after she breaks up with the Joker, recovers from her depression from the breakup, and starts a new life of crime with a new crew of thieves known as Birds of Prey. A lunatic is not a fan of her work and sets out to hunt her and her crew down and bring them to their demise. This movie is directed by Cathy Yan (Dead Pigs) and stars Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad),Rosie Perez (White Men Can't Jump),Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting) and Jurnee Smollett (Lovecraft Country). The storyline for this is a huge step down from Suicide Squad and maybe the worst DC movie to date. The film tried to be cool and creative but everything from the title, storyline and premise was delivered poorly, which is too bad because the cast had potential, the writing and execution failed the potential though. Birds of Prey is a great DC storyline...but that team was created and led by Barbara Gordon, so why use that premise, remove Barbara and insert Harley Quinn, and think you'll be fine? Easy, to capitalize on the money from Suicide Squad. Unfortunately, it didnt work. I wouldn't recommend watching this and I wish DC didnt ruin this title and these characters (who are actually very good). I'd score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.

I liked it. It was entertaining and that's what I wanted for a film. I do get why people are whining about the "men are bad" agenda, but meh. Just didn't bother me in all honesty. Plot: little loose here and there. But it was interesting and kept me entertained. Didn't particularly like the detective character, but the others were great. Overall I liked it.
