Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

My wife and her friends loved it

Enjoyed watching this film highly recommend.

Very very funny

Harley Quinn is the reason I love this movie.

I'm not really into this universe, however it was a bit of fun to watch when you just want to escape.Margot Robbie did a fantastic performance to bring Harley Quinn to life, but was hampered by the script.Other than the usual fight scenes and CGI what stood out for me, as an old git was the music. They picked up on some fantastic music, however apart from ' Barracuda ' by Heart the other tracks were poor imitations.I watched it because it was free with my Amazon Prime membership.Is just a bit of fun, but thanks to Margot Robbie it was fun.As I said before, I'm not really into this universe so can't really say anything about canonical time line.

Nothing to do with Amazon tbh I’m just a sucker for Harley Quinn and I’m definitely gonna get a lot from buying this movie as I’ve already watched it twice and planning on watching it a 3rd time with my aunt :))

It’s all out action from start to finish

Ok , I admit, I clicked buy by accident - but I’m glad I did. To be fair, I was just going to wait for the price to come down a bit, I still wanted to see it. Given that the cinema run was sadly cut short due to world events, this film definitely deserves a second chance.I’ve never been into the comic book side of things, but I thought this was a damn good movie. It’s not to be taken too seriously, and there’s a few good chuckles along the way. The story is told and commentated from Harley’s point of view in her special own way, so if you don’t like her, this probably isn’t the movie for you. It's more light-hearted than other franchise movies, but that is how it was designed.The movie covers who Harley is, and how she came to be in her current state, and how life generally is for her. It does jump around a little, but the narration covers any gaps. Never knowing who to trust, let’s say there’s never a dull moment. But actually, she just wants a few simple things to go her way.People will pick holes in this movie, but go into it with an open mind looking to enjoy something and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.Definitely worth a watch, and there’s definitely room for several sequels / follow-up films. I mean, it would be rude not to give Harley Quinn a bit more limelight, right??? And scene has been set for some of the other characters, so ….

I love Harley Quinn, my second youngest granddaughter is named after her

Como su larguísimo título indica, una historia de emancipación, cargada de violencia, humor, locuras y excelentes coreografías.Harley Quinn se independiza, para dejar de ser un objeto, lo que se refleja muy bien en esta película que la retrata como persona, ya no cosificada y sexualizada como en Escuadrón Suicida. Nada de contorneos, seducciones fuera de lugar o ángulos de cámara libidinosos.El villano, por lo tanto, tenía que ser un niño mimado, que pierde el control cuando las cosas no se hacen como quiere y que colecciona objetos solo por capricho, sin respeto por lo que representan. Su símbolo son unos ojos que de alargan en manos. La codificación como impulso para poseer.Margot Robbie nació para ser Harley Quinn, su actuación es inolvidable, impredecible, y las peleas que protagoniza son de lo mejor del género, en especial cuando maneja el bate.Ewan McGregor es estupendo como Máscara Negra, acertando el pathos que lo hace patético y temible a la vez.Las Aves de Presa son poco aprovechadas. Esta es su presentación, en la que todavía debieron crecer para llegar a ser héroes. Se ve el potencial para la presunta serie que debía seguir y que al parecer ya no se materializó.Una película tan colorida y con tan variadas texturas se beneficia enormemente del 4K, en especial con el HDR. Ciertos momentos, como la explosión del inicio, el dorado de Canario Negro, los rojos del club de Máscara Negra es de lo más llamativo.La música es animada y atrevida, muy apropiada.

"Birds of Prey: The Emancipation of Harley Quinn" ist ein actiongeladener Film, der eine frische Perspektive auf das DC-Universum bietet. Margot Robbie glänzt erneut in ihrer Rolle als Harley Quinn und bringt eine Mischung aus Wahnsinn und Charisma auf die Leinwand. Die Handlung ist temporeich und voller überraschender Wendungen, und die dynamische Chemie zwischen den Mitgliedern der Birds of Prey verleiht dem Film eine besondere Energie.Die visuellen Effekte und das Set-Design sind beeindruckend, und der Soundtrack trägt zur Stimmung des Films bei.Obwohl der Film nicht ohne seine Schwächen ist, ist er definitiv ein unterhaltsamer Beitrag zum DC-Filmuniversum und ein Muss für Fans von Harley Quinn.

Come da descrizione

Cathy Yan’s 2020 film, “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn),” is the eighth film in the DC Extended Universe and a pseudo-sequel to 2016’s “Suicide Squad.” Harley Quinn (played again by Margot Robbie) acts as the film’s narrator, with the story beginning after her breakup from the Joker. She had been spending time in Roman Sionis/Black Mask’s (Ewan McGregor) club, where the psychotic crime boss ran his criminal empire. Quinn continually aggravated him, but her connection to the Joker kept her safe. Once the breakup is public, he decides to eliminate Harley. Meanwhile, though, he seeks a diamond belonging to the Bertinelli crime family that has bank account information laser-engraved on it. The only surviving Bertinelli, Helena (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), has been targeting Black Mask’s empire in her guise as The Huntress. Unfortunately, Cassanda Cain (Ella Jay Basco) stole the diamond, making her another target for Black Mask. Quinn tries to save the girl, retrieve the diamond, and save herself in the process. Black Mask’s singer, Dinah Lance/Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) similarly finds herself caught between her conscience and Black Mask, as she tries to inform the police while keeping as safe as possible. All four cross paths due to homicide detective Renee Montoya’s (Rosie Perez) investigation, eventually leading them to team up.Christina Hodson’s screenplay faithfully adapts some elements of Renee Montoya, Helena Bertinelli, and Black Mask’s stories, though the film primarily serves as a vehicle for Robbie’s Quinn. Though the DC Extended Universe films play fast and loose with comic book continuity, Hodson and Yan’s approach and overall effect both works for this film and keeps enough true-to-character to please most comic book fans. McGregor makes for a brilliant villain in a film full of characters with dubious moral compasses, chewing the scenes he’s in and recalling the best bombastic comic book villains. The other characters have just the right mix of humor and bravado to work as heroes and play off each other well while having distinct identities. Where David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad” tended to indulge in showing abuse, this film centers its protagonists without making the audience complicit or reveling in character’s abuse. It also manages to avoid directly showing Jared Leto’s Joker while still making clear the damage he’s done. Yan’s film also has a great sleek and stylized look that celebrates its comic book origins, matches Harley’s narration, and shows that the DC Extended Universe series is on secure footing after a rocky start. The action is great and the humor is superb, with a lot of heart under the surface. Hodson’s previous screenplay was for “Bumblebee,” further demonstrating her comic book movie writing skills. It will be interesting to see how Robbie’s Quinn builds on these events in James Gunn’s forthcoming follow-up, “The Suicide Squad.”The Blu-ray includes bonus features including an alternative visual look for the film that includes more of director Yan’s stylized elements. There’s also a gag reel, a making-of, a look at the fashion that helps define the look of the film, a behind-the-scenes look at the CGI for Harley’s hyena, a look at production design, an examination of villain Black Mask, and a look at Quinn’s use of roller derby to process her relationship with the Joker. It’s a fantastic film for Harley fans as well as being another excellent addition to the DC Extended Universe.
