Birds of Prey: Is it a good movie?

[ScourgiousJinx]

This movie goes into the category of generic modern superhero and fulfills the basic requirements thereof without giving anything new, different or taking any risks. I find that to be difficult to sit through however many others enjoy those qualities.

The role of Doc, the landlord, was brilliant.


That's because the actor, Dana Lee, is my uncle.

Personally, I've always felt that DC/WB should've let their animation branch people run the live action branch as well. Aside from some of the more recent outings where they've tried to shoehorn older stories to fit into the New 52 continuity and adding some changes, they've been hitting it out of the park with their animated outings. If they just put the Young Justice showrunners in charge of everything live action DC then I think that their movies and TV shows would be so much better and they'd hear far fewer complaints since those guys really get their characters and know how to write compelling super hero stories. All they'd need is for WB to keep their hands off and let them do what they do best and maybe assign them someone more experienced in live action productions to help them work out things that might work well in animation but not so well in live action.

As long as they start off by formally executing anyone involved in the "Killing Joke" I could go for that. That is the worse comic book work every made. Its not long enough so lets add a storyline that makes no sense at all to the rest of the story.

There wasn't anything 'super' about any of the people in that movie except Black Canary and the power was used one time. Pfft...

I only watched this over the weekend because of this thread really and whoever said it's forgettable is right. They didn't seem to understand the characters, the context, etc. Seemed more of a 'crank out a script to feature Margo Robbie' than anything else.

I watched it on HBO yesterday. What a mess.
