Loud, colorful, nice cast but empty. Robbie makes a fun Harley. Works fine for about an hour and goes down the drain in the last part

Definitely on the upper echelon of DC projects-- along with Shazam! and... uh... uhm... Anyway: a fun, well-directed movie that is marred by a slapdash third act. Those last 40 minutes or so are brimming with contrivances, rushed-through plot points and occasionally lame-ish fight choreography. The girls make it worthwhile. Everyone is great except Huntress who gets lost in the shuffle. Recommended overall.

DC Comics at its finest.

Colourful, crazy characters, surreal visuals and settings throughout - like a comic book come to life. That's the point, right?

I really enjoyed this, in particular after watching WW84 just prior...

Hard to describe. Too many unimportant characters. After one hour the main plot get's better, but the movie has no chance against Deadpool.

Margot Robbie's ability to bring Harley to vivid life is what probably saved the movie from sinking too far. It has echoes of Suicide Squad which was disconcerting but what was most jarring was how little the other "birds" show up on screen and not in ways that fit well into the overall plot (I mean, yeah, there's a plot but it isn't exactly crafted in stellar fashion.) Was hoping to see a heck of a lot more of MEW as the Huntress but she gets little screen time comparatively. The non-linear storyline also got old very fast, though on some weird level it did kind of mimic the manic side of Harley's personality so I guess it fits.

Hands down the strangest thing for me was watching a movie where there really isn't a "good" character. Those few characters that do end up closer to the traditional protagonist end of the spectrum are certainly not front and center in the plotline.

Great action scenes, fighting, sets and music of fine. Acting can't be flawed but no standouts. Plot is fine, it's more comic book than the other recent big screen adaptations and makes it an ok viewing. Wasn't too compelled to watch this before I did 6/10

Not bad, beautiful colors, nice entertain, maybe a little rip off of Tarantino style.

This wasn't bad at all! This film is so much fun and definitely deserves more than a 6.1 although some aspects (Storyline, mainly) could've definitely been dealt with better, meaning this film had the potential to really boom.

The characters are certainly interesting and exciting, they all stand out (Black Canary was it for me). However, once again, Harley Quinn stole the show. I think Margot Robbie is a superb actor who was born to play Harley.

You know, being proud and in-the-face about your film being obnoxious actually makes it more annoying.

Also, cringy action scenes with blunt slow-mo and so much loud nagging soundtrack over disjointed storytelling. It's just a mess.

I watched it with low expectations and was dissapointed. Hard to watch and ultra cringy

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), or as the WB, in panic mode, now wants to rename to Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, is a hell of a lot of fun. And since the WB screwed up the marketing, let me do it for them. This is essentially DC's Deadpool 2. You have a fun anti-hero who narrates the action and it's definitely HER story, and various other characters joining in on the fun (the way X-Force did in DP2), so it might have worked better, in terms of selling the movie, if it were a pure Harley movie that backdoored the Birds of Prey. Not to say they don't play a big part (except Huntress who is a bit of a mysterioso throughout, cute take, but it's really not her movie), because it really does play as an ensemble film where various characters converge through the convolutions towards the climax (I think whoever compared it to a Guy Ritchie crime movie had it right). Ewan McGregor makes Black Mask a fun mercurial and pathologically narcissistic villain, and I kinda dig his loathsome right-hand Zsasz too. I'm not sure the movie makes the Birds of Prey themselves a viable IP, though Rosie Perez as Renée Montoya is pretty great and I'd be interested in seeing where they think their version of Cassandra Cain would go (more Black Bat or Orphan than Batgirl, I imagine). But as a Harley Quinn movie, big love, guys. The roller-skate action alone! Fun soundtrack too.
