After all the whining about "girl power" in Captain Marvel and Terminator Dark Fate, the more movies that piss men off with messages of female empowerment the better. 🤔
is it
the one about the hyena named bruce?

I wanted to make a joke about them all looking the same but there's not enough data
I said on here or Twitter, that I'm surprised WB never released a red-band trailer for the movie, and after seeing the movie, I feel it's one of the reasons the trailers were so muted for many. It's not a gore fest or anything, but it earns its R-rating with violence and a whole lot of cussing. Even some of the clips I saw, I assume had to tone down for TV.
If folks wanna know
At the end, you hear Harley's voice. Oh you're still here. I guess you want to know something. And something along the lines of did you know Batman...
And movie is done

Penguin and doodlewhizz, how are the action sequences? I know some folks are wary after watching that funhouse hair tie battle clip; is the rest comparable?
Does it come anywhere close to Chad Stahelski/87eleven's usual brand of kinetic action?

Hmm the only way I can put it, they chose an odd 30-seconds to highlight. I understand why, but in the context of the movie felt the scene was much livilier
The action is pretty nice and at times very colorful.
I've read a couple of reviews that try and compare it to John Wick's action - I wouldn't say it's that close but it definitely feels like one of the first superhero films to have noticed that they could do a similar style and Chad's done a good job. The funhouse scene is a highlight but there's also one with Harley on her own nearer the middle of the film that's very enjoyable too.
I didn't realise the hair clip scene had made people wary, thought it was a nice aside during the foray.
Just saw the movie, i enjoyed my time but overall it was just okay! Some joke landed and some didn't, like a lot are just swearing without any particular thoughts behind it!
The action scene were really well done there was lots of energy put into it!
I'll definitely watch more of it though!
But in the end, i was probably too spoiled by the harley quinn cartoon! Go watch it, it's amazing

Just went to see it after the reviews landed and it was on par with the rottenscore/metascore. Not rotten, a good 3 out of five. Miles ahead of Suicide Squad and Snyder movies, just not what I expected/wanted as a whole.
It's a Harley movie in disguise more than a Birds of Prey one. The action was colourful but some critics went too far saying that it was close to John Wick. Roman was pretty fun, liked Zsasz too. Some of the Birds don't have enough time but they did great with what they had. And the music is most of the time spot on.
My issues with the film are a rushed ending and the rhythm that was all over the place. Overall, it was a good experience but it will certainly not be my movie of the year.

Definitely promising to hear! I'm not going in expecting a full reenactment of John Wick's action beats, but it'd be great to get that same sort of flair and energy from said films.
Watched it last night. Its kind of meh, reminds me a lot with Suicide Squad. Has the same pacing problem, not so funny joke and not so great character interaction.
And the R rated is kind of wasted. Not a bad movie just 6/10 type of movie.

I'm hearing Harley and Black Mask get all the scenes while Huntress was barely in the movie and Black Canary was really good but should've got more scenes.
I read that after the poor reception of the testing screenings they made reshots of the action sequences and that the John Wick´s director was in charge of them uncredited. I don´t know if this was confirmed but that would explain the similarities the reviews seem to get, and how it eventually the film improved from the original vision.
Clearly we need a third Harley Quinn movie with her and Poison Ivy. 🤔

Hi jett.
OK, glad I read there can't be unhidden spoilers.
It's cool, I liked it. As an Aussie I think I heard Margot's American accent waver but honestly I don't think she was my favourite part of the film. Montoya and Canary own their scenes when they are up and about and I loved Huntress.
I couldn't help but notice the group of girls attending my showing absolutely loving the film and gushing about it after, that's who the movie is for and I'm very happy it's going to resonate with its target audience.
The Deadpool comparisons are going to be cynical and unavoidable but screw it, Robbies Harley isn't DC's Deadpool. Or even simply Girl Deadpool.
Rather, she's DC's Iron Man (an excellent actor turning a B-list character with flashes of potential into a proper movie star that can carry years of movies and supporting casts).
Going to see it again. And I hear my teenage niece whom I raised on as many comics cartoons and superhero stuff as I could is going to see it with her mother this weekend. I hope she enjoys it.

Harley Quinn is far from a B-list character.
Since her first appearence in the animated series it became so popular she was automatically made comic cannon.
She is probably one of the most popular characters in the DC gallery.
Lol, Harley isn't a B-List character. She's up there with Batman, Superman, Joker, WonderWoman, etc
Do you have any doubt?
The movie character only has the same name.
I saw a screening last night (thanks DCU, I even got in before the line hah) and I guess this movie isn't for me. I found a lot of the action scenes to be really cliche and unbelievable, which I think annoyed me because the movie is so grounded, generally speaking. Setting up HQ as a sympathetic character made no sense to me, considering how the movie goes to great lengths to explain how awful she is throughout. I enjoyed Black Canary the most, both as an actress and a character, and Ewan seemed to be having a great time. Went home and watched 2 episodes of the animated show, which is WAY better than I would have thought. Poison Ivy as the straight man? It's great.
Wait, which part of this movie was "Grounded"
And I think the movie makes a case (as does Harley), she isn't a good person even when she tries.
For me, there being so many daytime scenes on real city streets made it feel much more 'real' than, say, Suicide Squad. The establishing shot of the run down carnival actually pulled me out because it was an obviously designed/CG enhanced environment.

Sooo excited for this movie ah, this is worth a watch she's so genuinely off the charts likable

When was Simone's run on that book? She is, truly, the best of comics twitter and had been forever.
Mine from an IMAX screening last night, had a blast

I don't remember the exact years, but she saved Birds from being cancelled and is the reason people love the series so dearly.
She's been fiercely defending Jurnee from the racist bullshit comic book fans have been giving her for not being white.
I love Gail.
Everything up until the canary cry? It's a bunch of people with bats and guns who somehow occasionally do wildly extraordinary things with them, but it really isn't fantastical. People get hit and go down hard.
