TV Season Rating

In short, Harley Quinn is probably my new favourite show... Seriously.
I really wasn't too bothered when it was originally announced but I'm really glad I got round to it eventually.

To start with, it's fucking hilarious. The dialogue and humour arrives in waves, never lets up, and is pretty much constantly funny and pretty clever. Cast your mind back to when Family Guy was actually good (it's been a while my friends) and you're sort of in the right ball park. Every character offers something in this respect.

The main characters - Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, King Shark, Clayface, Dr Psycho - are really well written, and are a great group of anti-heroes to get behind.
The show also fits in appearances from other DC veterans - Joker, Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Bane, Queen of Fables, Black Manta, The Flash, Lex Luthor, Scarecrow, Giganta, The Riddler, Kite Man, Robin - are just a few that get a look in. It's great for DC fans, and funny enough to appeal to wider audiences.

It's very adult orientated as well - whilst looking like a typical kids superhero show, the illusion will suddenly be shattered by a tirade of swearing, or over the top gore, it's truly not messing around, and it works really well!

Harley Quinn was a massive pleasant surprise for me. Can't wait to watch more!

When i watched this i was stuck on a runway for 1.5hours waiting to take off, so that might influence my rating.

I grew up with the batman cartoon and well this is not your tv cartoon batman. A lot of adult themes going on in here. So you might want to take a peak at it before letting the little ones watch it. It is ment for older teens and adults.

What I like about this is how it is empowering for a female character. Harley Quinn might be a loose cannon but this shows she does not need Batman, Nightwing or the Joker. She is her own stand alone kick ass character and she does not need to be a sidekick.

If you like batman you might want to check it out or leave it but if you are a fan of Harley Quinn i say it is a must to see.

Villain was lacking

Storyline wasn't fleshed out enough

Excellent Movie - Even for a Marvel fan ;)

Let it be said now, I will always love Marvel more than DC because I relate to the characters. I've never particularly been a fan of DC heroes but I've always said they have excellent bad guys. If you're a die-hard fan of the comics this movie probably won't do it for you because there is a lot of interpretation in there. I, however, loved it solely because of the excellent casting. The storyline is a little lacking and I felt the villain in the movie wasn't quite fleshed out enough for it to be a complete movie, if that makes sense. Harley Quinn couldn't have been more perfectly cast (though I might be biased as an Aussie lol), Deadshot had an interesting interpreation from Will Smith and I enjoyed it, Joker was definitely closer to what I've seen in the comics, however I feel his relationship with Harley wasn't shown correctly (it felt more romantic than it should have, he's an awful person and truly treats her like s**t, it's a relationship based on insanity and stockholm syndrome and it didn't feel that way to me) All in all despite a few flaws it was a good movie. I would definitely watch it again.

Splat!

So I wasn't exactly in a rush to see this. I don't know much the comics or the Harley Quinn character. Thankfully yes this is better than suicide squad, but that's not exactly difficult. It's an ok film the first half was good but seemed to lose it's way after this. Finishing in rather predictable fashion.
The fights are good and Margot Robbie raises this just above average overall.
