Rotten Tomatoes: 91% (7.16 in average rating) with 45 reviewsCritics consensus: No consensus yet.Metacritic: 63/100 (22 critics) - Generally favorable reviewsAs with other movies, the scores are set to change as time passes. Meanwhile, I'll post some short reviews on the movie.With a wicked sense of humor and exhilarating action, Birds of Prey is fierce, fun and a total blast - and an empowering girl power superhero romp.-Molly Freeman, Screen Rant: 4/5A bold, entertaining riot that captures the manic energy of its lead character and ushers in a gang you’ll want to join.-Matt Maytum, Total Film 4/5It’s a girl-powered, earnestly feminist superhero movie with big, implausible action sequences and outsized personalities, and while it never quite reaches that potential, it does begin to map out a fresh path to the world-worn arena of superhero narratives. It may not be the promised total emancipation (at least not yet), but it is fantabulous in its own way.-Kate Erbland, IndieWire B-If Suicide Squad felt like Warner Bros.’ deliberate attempt to replicate the quirky fun of Guardians of the Galaxy, Birds of Prey is its stab — and there is a lot of stabbing in it — at making DC’s Deadpool.-Matt Singer, Screen CrushThis film is a blitz of bad taste, a cornucopia of crass, and it is weirdly diverting – more than you might expect, given the frosty way Suicide Squad was received critically – and engagingly crazy. Watching it feels cheerfully excessive and unwholesome, like smoking a cigarette and eating a chocolate bar at the same time.-Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian: 3/5As a comic book movie writ large, as an adaptation of an imaginative, gonzo, frenzied, devilish graphic novel not meant for kids, Birds Of Prey is arguably perfect as a blast of that kind of feverish dynamism. However, as a movie, Birds Of Prey can’t really break free from the cage of quirky insanity it is so content to nest in.-Rodrigo Perez, The PlaylistDirecting her first studio feature, Cathy Yan keeps it all hurtling along with impeccable ferocity. Her action scenes have a deftly detonating visual spaciousness, capped by crowd-pleasing moments.-Owen Gleiberman, VarietyDoes the movie’s pop-feminist message need to be as consistently, cartoonishly violent as it is? Almost definitely not. But in a world gone mad, the catharsis of Prey’s twisted sisterhood doesn’t just read as pandemonium for its own sake; it’s actually pretty damn sweet.-Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment WeeklyDIRECTORCathy YanWRITERChristina HodsonCINEMATOGRAPHYMatthew LibbatiqueEDITORJay Cassidy, Evan SchiffRelease date:February 7, 2020Budget:$97.1 millionSTARRINGMargot Robbie as Harley QuinnRosie Perez as Renee MontoyaMary Elizabeth Winstead as Helena Bertinelli / The HuntressEwan McGregor as Roman SionisElla Jay Basco as Cassandra CainChris Messina as Victor Zsasz via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2Sl7Xkz
