Every DC Extended Universe Film Ranked From Worst To Best (According To Rotten Tomatoes)
3. Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)
Score: 78%
Critic Consensus: "With a fresh perspective, some new friends, and loads of fast-paced action, Birds of Prey captures the colorfully anarchic spirit of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn."
Just how good is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn?
This entire film showcases how Robbie was born to play the role of Harley Quinn. Robbie is let off the chain in Birds of Prey and allowed to fully embrace the carnage and craziness of the character. The narration and story telling from Quinn is highly entertaining and fun throughout, with the movie on the whole being a hilarious trip.
Aside from Robbie, Ewan McGregor and Jurnee Smollett shine as both Black Mask and Black Canary respectively, with McGregor particularly showcasing a mix of sinister yet outrageous villainy as the evil Gotham crime lord. The action in the film is also a highlight, with each sequence being full of carnage and excitement.
However, while the majority of the film is a success, some characters are pushed to the side in favour of highlighting Robbie's Quinn. Huntress comes to mind as the main character who could have been utilised more effectively. The complete departure of Cassandra Cain's character from the comics was also a negative for most fans.
