Did a double feature of Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey to get the full sense of Harley's character. SS was an enormous mess even its star power, but that's a whole other review to be made about its script, its pacing, its tone, its editing, everything. Birds of Prey in contrast was vibrant and refreshing, with a lot of momentum despite a less star-studded cast. One of the most solid DC movies in recent years. With less of a gimmicky feel in its self awareness, BoP didn't take itself too seriously the way SS did (which ended up stifling a lot of its characters' potential) so it felt miles more authentic. It's hard to make anything truly novel and un-cliche in this current era of reboots and sequels, but BoP kept me engaged and wishing for more beyond the end credits. Unfortunate that it didn't get the marketing it deserved and instead was brought down by anti-feminists afraid of more than one or two women in a superhero movie. Even more unfortunate that there's rumors about replacing the side characters and little possibility of a sequel because of the marketing "flop." It's a good movie, well worth the watch, and pretty unfairly evaluated as a ploy or pushing an agenda when it's just women characters written and directed by women. Nothing controversial about actually developed female characters. 🤷🏻.
