Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn - Movie Review

Live vs Animated

I so wish Warner Brothers and DC would reboot the entire DCU live action movies. They need to get the writers and producers from animated movies to do the live action movies. I recently watched Superman: Red Son which was a far better movie than Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn. WB/DC produce the best animated movies but their live action movies with the exceptions of Wonder Woman and Aquaman have been okay at best. A few are almost good when you watch their extended versions. Birds of Prey did not have an extended version,

Review

The story line looked good from the trailer but that is where it ended. The female cast were great. The story and dialog ruined the whole movie with the exception of two scenes that equaled about 10-15 minutes of the movie. These two scenes and the cast could not save this movie from being possibly the worse DCU movie to date. 

Ewan McGregor's character and dialog were horrible. I believe it was meant so that you would dislike the character but it did far worse. I am not saying Ewan did a bad job. I am saying the writers gave him crap to work with. I stepped out for a minute while the movie was playing and did not feel the need to pause or rewind to see what I missed so there could be possibly a few minutes more from an additional scene that might be good. I may never know as I have no desire to see what I missed.

I neglected to mention this appears to be DC's attempt to duplicate Marvel's Deadpool style movie. The movie might have been better as a PG-13 language movie then the writers might have had to come up with good dialogue for the characters,

Rating

I give this a low SD movie. If you have any desire to watch this movie, I recommend renting it. I ended up getting my HD copy from UltraCloudHD for $11.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
