'Birds of Prey': How a hard R-rating, Joker breakup and migraines affected Margot Robbie Los Angeles Times critic Justin Chang agreed the film is a big step up from the critically maligned "Suicide Squad." "Slapping the topical theme of female empowerment on a story that trucks in business-as-usual violence does not qualify as a game-changer - or a reason to go to the movies," he added. Rolling Stone reviewer Peter Travers was more critical, writing that while "Bird of Prey" is "not as gargantuanly godawful" as its predecessor, 2016's "Suicide Squad," it still isn't that great. Greenblatt commended director Cathy Yan, who "has a gift for kinetic fight scenes" and "skips blithely from enhanced reality to full-on fantasy." "What can a female supervillain do?" she asks. "Everything a man does, apparently, except backwards and in bedazzled roller skates." "Sometimes too many ideas collide into each other - a zippy back-and-forth structure in the screenplay gets abandoned, and the pacing in the final act feels off - but 'Birds of Prey is never boring and often great fun," she wrote.Įntertainment Weekly writer Leah Greenblatt wrote positively of the film's female ensemble, calling the "twisted sisterhood" among them "pretty (expletive) sweet."
