I have a quick question, seeing the movie tomorrow with my 16 year old sister, is this R due to violence alone? Dad's tagging along and I wouldn't want him to freak out afterwards

Birds of Prey |OT| Don't cha wanna rev up your Harley? (Reviews out now)

Lots of swearing, but no nudity (except for some art on a wall). There's a few uncomfortable scenes with Black Mask, but nothing a 16 yr old can't handle.
Would sex/nudity be a bigger problem for your dad than gratuitous violence?
Just saw it. That's what I expected from a Harley Quinn movie. Not sure what they could've done to make it better even with a pg13 rating. I will say that from an action standpoint this is one of the best films to come out of Hollywood. This does action how it should be done. No shaky cam, quick cutting crap. It has a flow to it that outside of a few don't have.
Best DCEU movie and best DCEU/MCU action scenes. It just tips over Aquaman for me.
Wonder Woman had better overall writing and the story was better structured but the ending and most of the action scenes weren't good.
Margot was Harley Quinn come to life on the big screen. Perfect performance from her.

Thank you for the heads up!
Yeah, for sure, he's weird like that.
It's subtle. There are moments where she talks about other people like it's a miniature therapy session.
Yep it's awesome. I love that they don't make a big show of it
Yup. It's part of why I think Robbie and Hodson perfectly gets Harley. Can't wait to see what Hodson does with Batgirl and the Flash.
Better than a bunch of decent-to-bad DC movies but not better than the worst DC movie of the century/worst film I saw last year.
Man, DC movie opinions are a trip, every damn time. I'll see BoP. I see all of them just because there's no way to gauge what I'll think about any of them based on what anyone else says. Every DC movie has to basically start over from a standing start at this point.
Just finished. Was overall, meh.
Jokes weren't super funny, action was fine, story was fine, everything was just....fine? I felt no type of emotion when the credits roll. Perfectly serviceable yet forgettable film.

I really enjoyed it! I was really excited to see Black Canary done justice (screw you Arrow) but while I really liked her in the movie, Huntress was actually a standout for me. I hope this ends up getting good word of month / has nice legs, would really like a proper BoP sequel.
Saw it yesterday with my wife who LOVED it. I thought it was fine - Ewan McGregor was the absolute runaway reason to see this. Margot at HQ is fine but dominated the entire thing - so not really an 'ensamble' movie as it was perhaps marketed.
I'd say if you're on the fence its a Netflix or BluRay film vs paying for a movie seat.

This was really enjoyable, very much an origin to the Birds of Prey told by Harley as the main character. I do wish the team was formed before the climax as their chemistry really worked once they were together. My other gripes were that Hunteress could've gotten more scenes and the non-linear narrative of the first half went a little overboard with flashbacks. It made sense with Harley as narrator but it could've been done better.
If I had to rank it, I'd put it as my second favorite DCEU movie, right under Shazam.

Well this had BY FAR the best action I've ever seen in a comic book movie. Like, does anything even come close?
Damn, the action was good but I think I preferred most DC movies over it. Didn't love it at all, not enough to bother seeing it again.
Logan has the gritty go-for-the-kill brutality, but as far as choreography goes, there's nothing else like this in the genre.
Just got back from seeing it. I didn't like all of the exposition and flashbacks. Didn't like the pacing. Didn't like the over-choreographed fight scenes against rock songs. Didn't like the locations, either. A lot of it was filmed in downtown LA. It just doesn't look anything like Gotham.
Did like Margot Robbie and Rosie Perez. Did like the visuals, the color work and lighting were amazing. I'd say it's worth a Netflix viewing, but not a full price ticket.
I spent a lot of the time thinking about the Wonder Woman 84 trailer.

Here are a few pics I took last April. Now I know what the wheelchair guy was about. And the green van.
Just got home from seeing it. B+ I really think the genericifing of Cass is a waste for what her character could be but besides that I had a good ride. It did get slow in places, but it was worth it.
Shout out the Ewan McGregor for being both silly and creepy in ways I never thought Black Mask could be.
And also a cute little thing for us broke ass drinkers. Both Harley and Montoya have bottom shelf booze in their places, no major brands cause they can't afford it.

Saw this while on a date and this movie had the Best action I've seen in a superhero movie.

I just finished watching it. Pretty good movie! I was pleasantly surprised!
Ewan just stole everything as Black Mask. Also, I LOVED Zsasz in the show Gotham so I really felt this version lacking. It wasn't bad but definitely not my favorite interpretation of him.

I really liked this interpetation of Zasz. Granted I've only known the one from the Arkham games. But I liked his quiet subtle creepiness. Made him more real than the cartoon-like appearance in Arkham.
Why? That movie looks terrible
Movie was solid. The choreography during the roller skate car chase was really impressive stuff.
Harley has been buffed so much she could probably hold her own against Batman.
There, I said it.
Pattinson and Margot together would be fucking fire too and I want it to happen.

Just got home from seeing this on a whim. Was a good, fun time. Laughed a good bit, liked the fight scenes and the characters. I'm not a DC guy really so that doesn't factor in (I do love the Marvel flicks though). I'll be more interested in seeing Gunn's Suicide Squad now.
It was a fun movie if a bit disposable. I really liked some of the stylistic choices the movie took such as telling things out of order and overall it nails that pop punk aesthetic much better than Suicide Squad did. The performances across the board were great and all the characters were fun to watch.
I had a big issue though and that was that Cassandra and Harley's relationship feels half-baked. I have no attachment to Cassandra from the comics so I didn't go in to the movie as a purist and I still found Cassandra to be kind of a lame character. She doesn't really have a strong arc and the movie devoted way too little time to develop the bond between her and Harley. They should have met much earlier on in the film in my opinion.
I like Black Canary and Huntress but once again they were heavily underutilized Huntress straight up feels like an extended cameo until the end. Felt like the movie should have just been a straight Harley film that focuses more on her relationship with Cain or a BoP movie.

I really enjoyed this. The cinematography and fight choreography were top notch, and it easily has personality to spare.
From a business standpoint, this definitely shouldn't have been rated R. But, as a consumer, I liked their boldness to go in this direction and make the film they actually wanted to make. It certainly stands out from the rest of the CBMs these days, and it does so with style. I'd definitely watch it again - as well as any sequels/spin-offs.

I adored this movie. Exactly what it needed to be. I'll watch this many times.
Just adored the set design and fashion.

I was dying with laughter when.....
Just a fine little bit of physical comedy acting from Robbie there.
Harley was coming out of her drugged tranq-dart state and started tap-punching dead Zsasz. xD

I think of all the shots, that was the one with the biggest "oooooofff" from the theater.
It's not on deadpool levels no, but it's still not a kids movie.
