It’s not absurdist enough to break out like Venom or Aquaman (which were scored lower), it’s not dark and high concept enough to be like Joker. There are fifteen different MCU movies rated higher than that, and even if you disagree with RT scores, fundamentally Birds of Prey is good without being “recommend it to everyone you know” good.
Which birds of prey character are you movie#
But the movie is at an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, which might be good for say, a horror movie or romcom, but in the superhero genre, that’s not all that special.
It is four times better than Suicide Squad, though that’s a low bar. Look, don’t get me wrong, I liked the movie.
Yet again, if Venom can make a billion dollars without Spider-Man, I maintain this is not the main issue with the film, but I think it’s just another factor. Instead, you have Harley backed up by no one but a bunch of C-list heroes and villains. Similarly, a cameo from Batman or Robin (Robin has an amazing episode in the Harley animated series) would have gone a long way too. While Harley is absolutely the star of that show, the Joker is still a part of it, and it seems weird to have a “Harley Quinn gets over Joker” movie without Joker appearing at all. I spent a good portion of my initial review comparing Birds of Prey to the Harley Quinn animated series on DC Universe which is a much better use of this concept.
