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.

While you voice your displeasure on the martial art mastery of the actors who have played the role so far, my own displeasure is with the portrayal of his skills/abilities.

Batman is a Genius intellect & a master detective. It's only the animations & comics that vividly portrays this, as for movies, none of the actors who have played the caped crusader so far, has shown a perfect portrayal of those 2 aforementioned abilities of his.

Well I don't really blame the actors, i blame the writers. I just find the character very unique & fascinating(someone whose backup plans, has backup plans damn!) and I feel the movies are not really doing Justice to the display of his full capabilities.

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.

In the same paragraph you said "This is Democratic Socialism".
I didnt know that lack of discernment is now a super power Bernie has blessed his followers with.

Pls ask your Canadian doctors if there is no Health care Black market in Canada, why do they run to the US for emergency surgeries?
So you dont know there are ailments you dont get immediate healthcare attention in Canada? Do you even interact with Canadian residents?
Do you think America is one shiithole like Nigeria that will salivate when they hear about free stuff even when they dont know how the govt will get over $30 trillion for free healthcare in the next 10 years?
Did your crazy Bernie tell you how he was going to come up with that amount apart from
Raising Tax by more than 40%
Cutting Down Doctor's pay
Shutting Down Health Insurance Companies
Forcing Doctors to Work over time without pay
Forcing every Citizen to pay healthcare they dont need.


And what happens to the Doctors when you take away their incentives? do you think they will stay? you just have to look at the mass exodus of Nigerian Doctors. do you think you will have more doctors?

Even in a shiithole country like Nigeria we have what we call "Family Doctors" (you must be living in cave if you have never heard of one), how much more millionaires like Bernie in an upper-class country like the US? Your crazy Bernie wants to take away all those Doctors all in the name of Free Universal Healthcare.

I dont feel sorry for Bernie, I feel sorry for you, that even as a neutral you cant read between the lines, asking you to do your research will be more like giving you a life sentence.


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.

Its Finished sad sad

They have lost touch with reality.

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.

nigga, ignorance is not a virtue.

i never said there will be a female James bond, i said there will be a female 007.

James bond and 007 are not the same. 007 is just a code name.

daniel craig will retire with james bond while passing on the iconic code name to his successor.

in other words, his successor will have her own name but will assume the code name - 007.


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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WILD TALES (2014)....10/10

everything about this movie is perfect, literally cannot fault anything.

every story in it (6 in all) is just as good as the other, but my favourite is the road rage story.

top marks.
The end of road rage got me cracking up grin The way those two fellas held themselves, the police thought it was a crime of passion...Very Solid Anthology flick.

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. grin

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.

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.

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

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. wink

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?
