Birds of Prey may be PC (which really sucks). Early fan reviews have it as "all men bad, only women good" which was on my PC checklist.

A review of my other items I was hoping the film to avoid..

 

-- Quinn is reduced to just a voice for oppressed (or whatever)

-- No climatic showdown with head villian (a comic book staple)

 

The thing that reall concerns me, came from a fan noting its not even edgy humor with Quinn, that's she's been reduced away from a "Deadpool" like form to only a vanity figure..

If true, the film is in serious box office trouble..  Trailers weren't as strong, so I said word of mouth was everything.

And not only, all that momentum that came behind it after "Joker," Aquaman" and such.

I had so much faith in this, but alas, the film may be going the "Charlie Angels" route, instead of "Deadpool." (sad face) {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 07:21

Weren't you the one bragging about DC having a better and stronger slate of movies going forward than Marvel? {nm} FabioParme Feb 08, 07:30

Well -- they were. This is going to be a setback though. Its also a huge hit to the industry as a whole wanting fresh faces. VictorY Feb 08, 07:32

DC already had a huge franchise miss. It's called Justice League. FabioParme Feb 08, 07:39

"Joker" made a billion of a 55+ million budget, which was incredible. Alas, the films needed to keep being good, not PC {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 07:41

Sure. No denying Joker was a huge hit. But you keep comparing DC to Marvel saying DC has a stronger slate, which they don't. FabioParme Feb 08, 07:45

Good chance none of Marvel's future titles beat "Joker"s total worldwide haul.. WW2 will be huge (I picked it earlier as 2020's biggest) {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 07:54

I had faith in BOP (sue me) but if it turns out to be PC, its a huge letdown (I'll see the film on Feb. 18).. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 07:55

You have no credible track record to base your prediction on after your Captain Marvel and now Birds of Prey big swing-and-misses. {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:09

I never made a Captain Marvel prediction.. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:11

I beg to differ: HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:13

Those are warnings of what could happen. I never made a number call on CM. Remember, CM's numbers had to rebound late in Summer. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:16

"CM is not beating WW's domestic take, won't even get close" is a prediction. A failed one at that. Own up to it. {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:19

That was based on CM's numbers at the time.. Remember, it had to rebound late in Summer. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:20

Cool story bro {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:22

Oh, and that late summer rebound is complete BS. $416m of the $426m domestic total came before Endgame at end of April. You sir, are a liar. {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:26

Dude, last year you repeated CM wouldn't beat WW and how big of a disappointment CM was. {nm} jamesbik333 Feb 08, 08:22

A quarter of board posts is arguments with himself. {nm} TerenceHill Feb 08, 18:01

Geeks & Gamers said Birds of Prey:Not Really Woke (Surprisingly)...they are all about woke videos. You are a DC fanboy & haven't seen it. {nm} jamesbik333 Feb 08, 07:59

I posted my checklist earlier, and BOP seems to have 2 items already off it. I also was excited for the new "Charlies Angels", also bad. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:02

I think the general moviegoer has no interest in a BOP movie just like CA. Nobody under 30 cares about Charlie Angels, that's why it bombed {nm} jamesbik333 Feb 08, 08:06

I don’t think that’s the only reason it bombed. A big part of the target audience for Charlie’s Angels was horny guys. RogerMore Feb 08, 09:14

Maybe in 2000 but in 2020 if you are a honry guy you don't need to go to a movie, lol. One click on the old internet will solve that problem {nm} jamesbik333 Feb 08, 09:51

No one ever “needed” to go to a movie to solve that problem, but they still did. And like I said, it’s easy to find people who went to see RogerMore Feb 08, 10:21

Ahh..... I was wondering when you would start with the excuses.... Mr. I'm thinking a 200+. {nm} HurricaneKid Feb 08, 08:07

I didn't make the film, trust me.. I'm really wishing I had. All I have is the concept and characters to look at. {nm} VictorY Feb 08, 08:10
