Hello everyone.
Here is my review of Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey.
Well they changed the name after I saw the movie. I understand why.
It was a long convoluted name for no reason.
I was really not looking forward to this movie, the trailers did it no justice. Everyone was saying it was a sjw movie. I don’t care weather it’s a sjw movie or not. I can say it’s an OK movie. Not great and not the worst DC movie.There were some parts that I would do different. The actresses and actors did fine, but some had nothing to do. One thing I would have done is have them in costume. It’s like some ladies just running around trying to stay alive. Not villains and heroes.

Margo Robbie does a good job as Harley Quinn but she’s losing some of the essence of Harley. She doesn’t need the Joker or Mr. J, but she needs to be her old crazy self. It was nice to see them bring out back story stuff from Harley. How she was a psychologist that tried and failed to treat Joker and just fell in love with him. Renee Montoya is another old favorite in the comics. And Rosie Perez did a good job but she didn’t have much to do. But what she did was good. I am a fan of Renee Montoya in the comics. Next is the Huntress and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. That was rough she is barley in the movie until the last 5-10 minutes. They had the backstory but It didn’t work for me. Her acting was ok, Black Canary with Jurnee Smollett-Bell was a bit of a miss. They didn’t do her character well. The acting was fine but the writing for her wasn’t as good. And lastly Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain. This one was the worst. The only thing they really took from the comics was she was quiet. She didn’t fight really at all and she might be the best actual fighter of the bunch.

The last thing I want to say is, this really didn’t need the R rating. It could have been PG13 with very few cuts. I really think it was a copy cat move. Dead pool is rated R and crazy and zany just like Harley.
The movie was OK, I would give it a 6 out of ten. Just kind of Meh.
It could have been so much more. The story needed help. They should have just taken comic book runs or a comic story and go with it.
What I really wanted from Birds of Prey is Harley, Poison Ivy and Cat women, But it was OK not great. Maybe next time.

6 out of 10

Hello everyone.
It’s movie time. A new movie is coming out this weekend.
Birds of Prey movie is DC’s new rated R movie.
Hoping to capitalize on the Joker from last year. They are trying to what Deadpool does and mix comedy with action.
I will try and see it this weekend but we are suppose to get some snow.
When I do I will do a full review and also start reviewing new and older games, movies and TV shows.
This weekend if I get snowed in I will play some Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Elders Scrolls Online and maybe more. I will watch some anime and other shows and get reviews going.

This is a short blog article but it’s meant to be a bit of an update.
Have a great weekend.
