![]() So, w hat’s with all the hate?Įven before the movie came out, male viewers were already lashing out at the movie, disappointed in anti-hero Harley Quinn’s more practical hair and wardrobe, complaining about how her hair became too short to pull on and how all of the female casts’ costumes were intentionally designed to deflect the male gaze. Now with no protection and on the run, Quinn unexpectedly joins forces with the Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), the Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) in order to save a young girl by the name of Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) from the Black Mask. This includes a powerful, narcissistic crime lord known as the Black Mask (Ewan McGregor). The movie follows Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), who publicly announces her break up with the Joker, causing everyone she has wronged to take their revenge on her. The film, rated-R for violence, and vulgar language, seemingly has all the ingredients for this film genre. “They literally don’t know who they’re making this movie for.” “Do you know why #BirdsOfPrey is going to bomb just like #CharliesAngels did? They removed any sex appeal these characters had to appeal to a female “girl power” audience instead of a core male comic book audience,” a Twitter user wrote. So why aren’t people going to watch it? The film, directed Cathy Yan and starring a female-dominated, seems to have received some critical comments from the media, most of which have come from men. Despite evidence from moviegoers posting pictures of empty theaters, the movie overall received very high reviews. ![]() T he movie has had the lowest recorded opening weekend out of any of the DC Extended Universe movies, according to the Showbiz CheatSheet. ![]() They’re shitty cheeseball movies no better than the worst of Michael Bay’s Transformers dreck, just embrace that you’re a fan of two shitty movies for whatever your reasons are but don’t be deluded enough to think that you’re seeing some higher meaning in them than what’s actually there as a means to defuse any valid criticism.Lorelai Slaydon and Isabelle Coburn | April 14, 2020ĭespite its amazing title, “Birds of Prey” (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) did not do so hot on its opening weekend. They’re poorly directed, poorly written, poorly acted trash with an oppressive and bleak visual style that featured enough murder, screaming and crying scenes to trick a select few people into thinking they’re riveting dramas made for adults when in reality they’re nothing more than bloated visual effects reels with commercial characters inserted to sell Hot Toy figurines and statuettes to the eventual “release the Snyder Cut” drones who feel a sense of profound elitism by pretending their shitty superhero film favorites of choice are too deep and profound for the rest of us to understand. They’re prentious spunk with on the nose Jesus symbolism, vague and poorly communicated themes touching on power dynamics and idol worship and everyone over the age of eleven understood that. Nobody “didn’t get it”, you’re not one of the enlightened few scholars that understands something nobody else can see in those travesties. Click to shrink.This is the most hysterical response from Snyder fans when people rightly criticize those disasters.
