I loved this movie omg. The casting was amazing, the lights and stunts were epic, and overall the plot and cinematography was fantastic. Before watching this movie, I thought I would enjoy it, but enjoying it was an understatement. A badass feminist movie that doesn't throw it in your face, but you know its there which makes it great. Positives: - Margot Robbie perfectly captures Harley Quinn's essence throughout the whole film and Suicide Squad, and I was so glad that she got her own film. - My top 2 scenes from the film: The water fight in the holding cell room and the scene towards the end of the movie when all 5 women team up and defeat Roman once and for all. - The way this film looked was so pleasing to me. The lighting was fantastic and really stood out. - Black Canary, the Huntress, and Harley Quinn are so attractive and also just wow are you kidding? - The stunt choreographer for this film did an amazing job with the fight scenes I mean wow. - The comedy throughout was so funny and just really matched Quinn's personality, and Robbie made sure of it. - I don't like feminist movies that just constantly emphasize the fact that it is all women, so this movie I feel like perfectly balanced that with some girl power in there, but not to the point where it was annoying. - They gave Quinn the airtime she deserved and they showed the side of her that was meant to be shown: the good side. - I love how the Joker was such a background character and was only in it for 2 seconds, and they let Quinn shine. Negatives: - I wish the huntress was in it more. - I wish the detective got Captain at the end because I feel like that would have been the cherry on top. Overall: 4 1/2 out 5 Stars

Ansich guter Film. Leider an einigen Stellen sehr "kindlich" gehalten. Keine Frage, es gibt dann wieder Szenen in denen Menschliche Gesichter zu masken werden. Solche Szenen meine ich natürlich nicht. Aber trotzdem bleibt der Film als "einmal sehen reicht" im Gedächtnis.

Honestly just watched the movie for Margot Robbie, movie plot was so quick and felt like it was a tad bit rushed and some parts just didn’t seem to necessarily be added into the plot

Maybe it’s unfair to rate a movie that you weren’t able to finish. Or maybe it’s the absolute best indicator of a bad movie.

I went into the film wanting to like it. I enjoy movies with the lead actress and she did her best to carry the movie. Sadly the writing and directing ended up in a letdown of a film. Most of the movie felt forced, just trying too hard to be "something". Like the director was trying really hard to establish a "feel" to the movie and I never felt it. Unless inconsistent is what the director was after, but if that was the goal, then they nailed it. For me, this ended up like the second Wonder Woman movie, a major letdown.

Are there flaws? Yes, but I was too busy having a blast to be bothered by them. This is the crazy, colorful, glittery ride I needed it to be, driven by women and the female gaze.

It was just ok for me. Compared to almost every marvel movie, there is still just a too big gap in quality.

A deserving successor to the heavily criticized Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey offers viewers a closer look into one of its more prominent members - Harleen Quinzel. Coupled with a strong female cast, new characters, and Ewan McGregor as the main villain, the movie is a good watch for comic book fans, or anyone for that matter.

Hearing mixed reviews myself, I gave it a watch. Having got into my head it was going to be poorly done lead to me being presently surprised that I really enjoyed it. The odd moment here and there felt a bit forced or dragged, but overall I enjoyed this movie.

With a fresh perspective, some new friends, and loads of fast-paced action, Birds of Prey captures the colorfully anarchic spirit of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn.

Good performance from Ewan McGregor, but everyone else in the cast gets lost amidst a film that nobody really asked for, and is pretty forgettable

Man er underholdt fra start til slut i denne noget specielle og anderledes superheltefilm. Margot Robbie gør det godt som den skingrwnde skøre Harley Quinn og Ewan McGregor er en udmærket skurk. Der er dog lidt for meget #metoo over filmen til min smag. Nu må der godt komme en Suicide Squad 2.

I actually expected more from this film but found the plot boring and the editing gimicky. Maybe one day I’ll try and watch it again.
