Strong female characters that aren't "strong female character" but each have generally different fighting styles. NO jared leto or any joker, Musics really good, its like the idea of the dceu but done well instead of being a war crime like justice league. I really don't see how the movie can exist in the same world as WW84 and aquaman. I saw it too but for me it was one of the worst movies I seen recently. 3/10 bad. | ||

There was Wonder Woman, Alita, Annihilation, A Star is Born and those are just the recent ones I enjoyed a lot that are focused on female cast. Birds of Prey was simply disappointing. They could've done so much better with it, considering how many things they got right, but in the end the things they got wrong overshadowed them. | ||

I ment more for the main cast being mostly female like ghostbusters and oceans seven. I didn't see Annihilation. I think my expectations were extremely low but I liked the fight scenes with how focused and steady they were more like john wick and less like the bourne super cut style thats been popular more recently. I also had low expectations for the black canary and huntress characters and they turned out to be decent multi note written characters instead of being "strong female". It was edited down a lot and wasn't overfilled with content like other DC movies. | ||

And BoP fight scenes looked like John Wick because they hired the John Wick fight scene choreographer to reshoot some of them (and that's why some of them were great and some were just bad or ridiculous). | ||

It is an absolute masterpiece. Right. I meant Annihilation as a recent example  Was trying to only include movies from the past 2-3 years. | ||

Considering the character we're talking about is Harley freakin' Quinn and the story is being told from her perspective I would say they made it a hot mess on purpose. The theatre I was in laughed at Ewan antics multiple times as he has his moments and considering how many DC films we got that were completely fucked up I would say this is a step in the right direction. | ||

In Canada the CRTC is constantly overseeing TV and movies. SCTV was designated as "American Content" by the CRTC in 1981. Talk about totally fucking stupid. The SCTV cast had the greatest response to total fucking stupid government intervention ever. Their response? "The Great White North" | ||

It's entertaining as hell and extremely well-crafted, and the details keep reeling me back in to pondering their place in the film and its messages. 1917 was great too, but I felt a bigger impact from Parasite. | ||

). It wasn't until I read articles about it and watched analysis videos that I finally realized the movie was even better than I originally thought heh.I tend to shy away from Korean films since all the ones I've watched tend to be really weird and depressing, but maybe now's the time to delve deeper down into that rabbit hole. Bong Joon-ho's acceptance speech for Best Director was really something, so humble. | ||
