For a film that swings for the fences with its use of filmmaking techniques such as an animated opening sequence used to tell Harley's backstory, Birds of Prey is clearly a strong acting showcase.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn): Trailer 1 2 minutes Added: Oct 1, 2019 There may not be too many surprises, but Yan has announced herself as a creative force to be reckoned with. There are the conventional-minded and flashy action scenes that accompany most superhero characters, but this is a violent, R-rated, naughty-joke, potty-mouthed comic book tour de force made for women over 25. By creating an account, you agree to the Privacy Policy Although it tries very hard to capture the type of irreverent adult humor that the first Deadpool movie had, Birds of Prey is really just a female-led diamond heist movie. Darkly comic and colorful, and the action is engaging without being too over-the-top (you know how superhero movies can get). The film is consistently witty and barbed, tossing in references to comic book iconography and characters while also reflecting an aesthetic that feels ripped from the pulpy pages of the best superhero literature.

I really dug “Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” because it is unlike any movie I’ve seen before. and the Terms and Policies, Harley Quinn joins forces with a group of other women, both heroic and villainous, to save a young girl from a crime lord on the hunt for a diamond. It can be excessively fun and it can be excessively icky, but it never successfully marries the two. I find Margot Robbie's performance disposable as the clown's carefree, volatile girlfriend. Despite her run of more traditional movie star projects, and her admirable work as a prestige lead, Harley Quinn seems to be the role Robbie was born to play. This is not to say that Birds of Prey isn't fun. In a genre that busts out dozens of near-identical movies, superhero stories need more than visuals to be memorable. With a frenetic Kill Bill energy, Birds of Prey never takes itself too seriously... mostly the movie embraces the glorious absurdity of these camp characters a la Tim Burton's Batman Returns.
