Birds Of Prey Review Thread - 92% RT: What are we? Some better Suicide Squad?
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
Shazam did very well all things considered. A totally unbankable lead and a superhero character that no normal people have ever heard of -- $140m is honestly probably more than they expected. Black Adam will set the sequel up for even more success.
Seems like this dude just wants to be a white Armond White. eyeroll emoji
You do realise that you're being the weird one in this exchange between you and Yams, yeah?
Like, what point are you trying to make that it seems like Yams is refuting?
Oh that guy? My brain hurt trying to follow the logic of that
I kind of want to read it to see why he has this awful opinion, but I refuse to give the article a click.
Pretty sure it's just the same old "Best Picture is for American Movies" argument
Doubt it. They just got control back of all the Fox licensed characters. MCU X-Men is gonna be huge and is gonna keep their gravy train rolling for another decade.
Excited to see this on Friday, though I have basically no knowledge of the Birds of Prey outside of Harley.
He disliked Roma and Parasite? How is someone so unbelievably and bewilderingly wrong hired to review movies?
who wants to baby sit for me Friday night so i can go watch this opening night
I think there is plenty appetite for all flavors of the genre. Marvel is also likely to be bigger than ever with Shang Chi, Young Avengers, A Force and X-Men. Should hit a lot of new demos

Yeah, that is a mostly dated concept at this point. By and large, studios set these release dates 2+ years in advance if it's a film they're actually producing themselves so they target specific times when they think there won't be much competition now generally. If it's an independent film that they acquired at a festival, it'll usually have a shorter window to release from announcement.
Birds of Prey's release date was set in Sept 2018 after an April 2018 announcement. Bad Boys' release date was set in May of 2018.
He works for the San Francisco Chronicle too. I fully expected to see Daily Caller or something in his twitter bio.
Yeah this guy is really on something. What the hell is these opinions????
Really hope the good reviews are coupled by good of mouth because it's box office prospects are looking pretty dire judging by how much it made opening day in Korea and France.
Nah, let Marvel do their thing. They're good at it. The genre is more than big enough for DC and Marvel to do their own approaches
But Blade better be R
Fuck, this made me want to see Birds of Prey more than any marketing or RT number. Maybe the guy gave BoP such a bad review due to it being directed by a Chinese director.
edit: just checked his RT review of Parasite and he gave it 4/4 why the fuck doesn't he want it to win best picture.
Yeah, it sounds fine, but there is not a whole lot in theaters rn anyway.
Going off the Roma quote, guessing he doesn't think a film should be in both the best film and best foreign film categories.
Glad to see this reviewing well, especially as a female centric comic book film.
Also have nothing but love for DC and them making steps in the right direction only makes me happy.

I wouldn't make that comparison so flippantly. Armond White is a legit troll that disagrees with the consensus almost all the time for the sake of clicks, whether it's fresh or rotten. This reviewer is not even on the same level. I'm looking over his history on Rotten Tomatoes as I speak, and there are only a small number of instances where he praises a critically panned film, and he agrees with the consensus quite often. He is absolutely a snob with a massive ego, and his taste in cinema is very peculiar. But I find it believable that he does legitimately hate all the films he says he hates.
Quite the roll they've been on. Should have been doing big contained stories the whole time. If those succeed then you start teaming people up.
Even with their past few success I'm still super hesitant to get excited about them lol. I think it's made them more enjoyable going in with little expectations.
He also gave The Rhythm Section 4/4 and that movie was a complete trash fire.
It's at 59 thanks to that one reviewer giving it a zero. It would've been still in the mid 60's.
The dude literally says the movie "shouldn't exist". So what the fuck?
Get over yourselves people. All signs point to the movie being great.

Really excited to see this, I have been loving the aesthetic. It's so good that DC is an actual player when it comes to cape films. They are actually trying something different compared to the standard marvel fare. It's wild that this is the first Woman led superhero film that is placed in the present day since.... Electra?
