Birds of Prey (2020)
7/10
A much-needed separation
5 September 2023
It was a brilliant move cutting ties with both Jared Leto and "Suicide Squad" in general. Margot Robbie really gets to shine here, playing a character she obviously cares about, and I think she's a riot. She's as lethal as she is wacky (case-in-point: her love affair with an egg sandwich). The action scenes are as "comic book movie" as it gets but they're all women laying waste to roomfuls of bad guys (read: a lot of fun); Ewan McGregor's clearly having a ball here as Roman Sionis, second-tier villain extraordinaire; and The Birds of Prey make a pretty good team that deserve a sequel (unlikely though that may be). I quite enjoyed myself with this movie.
