Birds of Prey (2020)
2/10
The DCEU fumbles yet again
20 June 2023
Birds of Prey is another unsavory and silly supervillain comedy. It's the worst of all the DCEU movies. It's a feminist suicide squad story that makes James Gunn's The Suicide Squad (another movie I hate) seem...slightly better. Of course all the male characters in this movie are creeps or idiots while all the women are portrayed as flawed but still awesome. Dozens of bad guys are nothing against 5 women that end up working together in the end. It's just really cheesy. If the people responsible for this movie think this is what doing right by women looks like, they need to be enlightened.

As a whole, Birds of Prey is uninspiring, amateurish, and all around poor in quality in about every facet. The story is uninteresting, the action is sloppy, the characters are awful, the acting is poor, and the humor is unfunny. Margot Robbie is a great Harley Quinn, but in her own movie, she gets tiresome. Her periodic narration feels derivative and unnecessary. When a movie is made for the sole purpose of being fun, but fails at actually being fun, it becomes a pointless movie. That's what we have here.
