So, I just saw Birds Of Prey yesterday and I must say that I was shocked and surprised. I has already made up my mind that the movie was going to be beyond terrible because : a) Suicide Squad is easily the worst DCEU movie (seconded only by Shazam) and I thought that anything spawned from SS will be equally as bad. b) I never really liked Harley Quinn in SS. in that movie she was extremely annoying and cringy, and I certainly did not want to see almost two hours of such a character. c) I did not like the trailer for Birds of Prey However, when I saw the movie, I was blown away. It's no master piece, but it's a really entertaining movie. I really liked Harley Quinn here as opposed to in SS. some people say that the villain is one note caricature of men and is not compelling in any way, but I don't agree. I really liked his quirky and unhinged nature. I also liked his right hand man. The fight scenes and action sequences were well done and the cinematography was competent. The story is entertaining but averagish. I've heard some people say that they would have wanted to see more of the birds of prey in this movie (since the movie was titled BOP) but I don't quite agree. I don't really care much for the BOP's and I thing the movie would have sucked if the BOP had more screen time together. The acting of the little Chinese(?) girls was touch and go. Sometimes she's good, other times she sucks. But all the other characters were competent actors. It's such a shame that this movie did not do that well financially. It really deserved better that what it is getting at the box Office. And I think this is mainly due to: I) being a spin-off of a very trashy movie. II) having BOP as a title instead of being called Harley Quinn and the Birds of prey. Seriously, no one knows or cares about BOP so why make it the title? III) fragile men who see every movie with a female lead as feminist propaganda and as such, they'll dislike the movie no matter what. IV) having an unnecessary R-rating. Seriously the R-rating in the movie didn't really add much to it. This movie could have really resonated well with a younger audience if they had dialed down on the F bombs and made the violence more PG. I'll rate the movie 6.5/10. It's enjoyable, funny and entertaining. Sorry for the typos. I know say them go plenty. 2 Likes |

mekaprime: Absolutely, there just seem to be huge disconnect from the real source material, the weird thing is this is not even an adaptation of Batman, it is "the" Batman we are talking here. |

pryme: Shift with your ignorance. Democratic socialism is what they coined in usa to describe bernie Sanders's European style plan. It does not mean those countries are socialist. I will not address the rest of your crap. |

pryme: it so happens to be true, then i sense a boxoffice flop already. I think movies that has women as their lead would only do very well, if and only if it were a superhero orientated movie, & secondly, it has to have an original concept eg like Wonder woman & Black widow but if it's turning Captain America, Spiderman, Batman or flash, into a full fledged female movie, then, it's going to be a huge flop, right from its Inception. |

DandeNumeruno: Even at that, think about it. Before you even qualify for 007, you must have undergone the most grueling test both mentally and physically the MI has to offer, remember 007 agents are not only chess masters, we are talking top human specimens here. Unless a woman is now the strongest of the 2 genders then a Female 007 will make sense, if not they should quietly go and work on a remake of G I Jane (which am not surprise the SJWs are not looking at) |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by pryme(m): 7:36pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
mekaprime: For me G I Jane was one of those few exceptions, the fact that a top govt official (that is a woman) wanted to shut down the G I Jane program gave the movie a lovely twist. |

pryme: mentally, she's a black british actress that has a theater background so am sure she's up for it. physically, a stunt double will take care of that. 3 Likes |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by mekaprime: 7:47pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
pryme: Yeah it seemed exceptional because it was original & also cause it came out before G I Jones, believe you me, if reverse were the case, you'd have disliked it. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by mekaprime: 7:51pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
DandeNumeruno:Am really inquisitive here, it's a somewhat awkward question though. For the stunt double, is it going to be a guy or a lady. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 7:58pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
mekaprime: a woman or a man. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 8:06pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
mekaprime: after a quick research, apparently it's commonplace for a stuntman to be a female actor's body double in movies. it's known as wigging. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by pryme(m): 8:18pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
DandeNumeruno: Maybe another movie, not the British Secret Service 007. |

Seems Daniel Radcliffe made all his money with HP series and he's just fulfilling a fetish now by appearing in any weird movie he can lay his hands on...Pls anybody seen "Guns Akimbo" yet? Was it good?.. |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by toluxe0075: 9:18pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
oyaskii:It's just a gun violent fun movie that should not be taken too serious. I'm sure Radcliffe enjoyed himself playing his role in the movie. |

DandeNumeruno:What am I even arguing? when the time comes I will quote this post... For your info I'm on the bond sub-reddit and no where has this been confirmed..... Lynch will be an 007 agent in No time to day and that's it.... Anything else is 2019 rumours... |

oyaskii: Seen it. It was a very entertaining movie, so long as you don't over think it. If you enjoyed movies like Shoot em' up, you'd definitely enjoy it. |

kendrick93: some people like to do argument for argument sake. daniel craig himself has confirmed that James bond character will be retired after NO TIME TO DIE. www.nairaland.com/attachments/11158311_screenshot20200305193157_jpegfdec2ee8c35322fd46a35f69be983204 since there will longer be a james bond after NO TIME TO DIE, and another person has been chosen to take over the 007 role in the James bond farewell movie, what makes you think the studio will pick another actor for the 007 role when they have gone to the trouble of contracting one for a big film like NO TIME TO DIE in my experience, when actors are contracted to play a main role in a movie franchise, their contracts ALWAYS extends to sequels. i don't expect this 007 ish to be any different. abeg carry your wahalla dey go. |

DandeNumeruno:Retirement.....lol.. Guy seriously do you have any idea who James Bond is? Daniel Craig is just another long line of actors to have played James Bond... There was James Bond before Daniel Craig and there will James Bond after him.... All the studio needs to do is to reboot the movie like Hollywood does... That's how Daniel Craig got the role in the first place... He wasn't the first and he definitely won't be the last James Bond... Seriously I've noticed you have a feminist propaganda on every topic and it's pathetic 2 Likes |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 11:13pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
kendrick93: guy you're really clueless. there will not be any rebooting until at least another bond 28 film scheduled for 2024... stop this cringey asf female hating, it won't get you anywhere. it's no ones fault you're a frustrated introvert with no girlfriend. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by kendrick93(m): 11:23pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
DandeNumeruno:At least you've admitted there will be a reboot..... Hating Females? wtf!!! Keep on going around calling anyone who disagrees with you a female hater, you Retard.. You sound like a virgin 2 Likes |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by DandeNumeruno(m): 11:43pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
kendrick93: nope pretty sure you're the only female hater i've interacted with here. even if a woman plays 007 in the 2024 bond 28 film, it won't be the end of the world, so chill. hopefully before 2024 you'll finally get laid and cease to be such an uptight introverted dimwit that thinks hating women is edgy. i hope so, for your sake. |

Superman: Red Son (DC Animation) - 9/10 Now that's some real goodness, DC animation always get it right, the plot has a lot to offer but they kept it short sweet and simple so the intensity never stops. Did they throw some shades at JFK? |
