I enjoyed the
movie. Although, the script and screenplay aren’t fantastic, as it took a while
for the girl crew to find themselves and form. Then it took even longer before
the movie became about Harley. Other than that, it was a fun time at the movies
with this R-rated DC film. The movie is better than Suicide
Squad (2016), but it’s not the best superhero movie out there or
even in the DCEU.
Birds of Prey
(and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)—yep, that’s the name
Warner Bros. is running with. The name may be long, but it serves what the
movie is supposed to be about. It’s a superhero film based on the DC Comics’
team Birds of Prey. It’s the eighth film in the DC Extended Universe and a
sequel/follow-up to, as well as a spin-off of, Suicide Squad (2016).
It stars Margot Robbie (who was wonderful) as Harley Quinn, and she also
co-produced the movie.
The plot starts
with Harley and the Joker breaking up. Harley is messed up about it and is
struggling to cope. She then decides to make a grand gesture of a middle finger
to the world and her ex, but in doing so, she forgets all the people she had
wronged in the past.
When she was
Joker’s girl, nobody dared to touch her—they all feared what the Joker would
do. Now that she’s by herself, all hell breaks loose on the revenge front.
Soon, we get to
see all the members of the proposed girl crew, each with their own origin
story, either shown or told. What led to each of them meeting was a young girl
the gangster Roman Sionis/Black Mask wants. Roman sends everyone after her,
including Harley. Huntress is on her own vendetta mission, which happens to
cross paths with Roman. Canary, at the time, worked for Roman, and Renee
Montoya, the detective, was building a case against Roman. Soon, because of the
girl, all their paths cross.
What led to them
bonding is for you to watch and find out. If you do watch the movie, you’ll
find it enjoyable.
