Birds of Prey (2020)
5/10
I saw it, it wasn't great...
7 February 2020
I saw this movie today. I haven't read the comics so can't make a comparison. I'm just your average movie goer, not a troll. I like Margot Robbie and I know she was heavily involved in this movie. It's a shame, because it's not very good. Most of the humour didn't hit the mark. We are asked to believe that a supposedly highly intelligent person becomes a kookie super hero/villain because she broke up with her boyfriend. So of course when one goes out on their own they buy a hyena for company! One minute she's ditsy, the next she is making a profound psychiatric diagnosis. Ding-a-ling-a-ling! The baddie Roman was a cutout villain with no depth & no back story about how he ended up a villain. He was like a child who lost his favourite toy & having a tantrum. There's a song & dance routine thrown into the mix when Harley nearly got knocked out that was superfluous, making no sense. Some of the fight scenes were fun when the humour hits the mark, but for the most part this movie is just silly. Not fantastic, not terrible, just silly.
