Erika (17789 KP) rated Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) in Movies
Feb 9, 2020
A more apt title for the film would be Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey. I'm definitely a fan of Birds of Prey, and not really a Harley Quinn fan. I find Harley Quinn kind of annoying, and the storytelling structure was headache inducing at times.
The positives: The fight choreography, that was basically it's saving grace. Ewan McGregor didn't have a lot of story to work with, it was all on the surface. I did think it was hilarious when he joined the dance number for 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend', that just made me want to go and watch Moulin Rouge again. He also reused his general American accent from Men Who Stare at Goats, which marks the second movie I thought about watching while I was in this film.
The overall plot was basic and it was very predictable. What made this film even worse was that I did a double-feature and saw Ford v Ferrari afterwards, and there's simply no comparison.
