It wasn't a GOOD movie, but everyone screaming how impossibly shiiiite Birds of Prey is, is just not true. Dude, nobody goes in expecting Akira Kurosawa. It's a cartoonish, hysterical, R-rated comic-book movie with half a script. But there are a lot of really entertaining things about it and if you don't go in DECIDED it's shite, there's gonna be your money's worth of comic book movie moments.
The actors all do a good job, with what they've got. Fight scenes and camerawork are very good, costumes are great, the lead is enthralling - you can hardly watch anything else while she's on-screen, the sandwich storyline is adorable, there's hyena and the settings are great. It's not a GOOD movie, like Fast and Furious 2 -139 aren't GOOD, but people making this film wanted to make the most of it. The police-station shoot-out is adorable. Violence is really really violent. I didn't hate the pacing and jump-cuts as much as I was told I should. Did I mention there is a hyena? :D
