Pleasantly surprised, cute and whitty, refreshing take on the classic tale.
Dear lord what a fun ride it was! Damn, should have seen this one in the theater while I could.
To be honest it started out incredibly weak: characters clashed with realistic looking world around them. Flashbacks for stuff that happened 2 minutes ago (Ok, 10 min ago, but still!). Predictable plot and visual gags. Timeline shift that broke the flow and took me out of the movie at least twice. Too much music etc.
BUT the more ridiculous situation got the better it all started mix together. When she fought with the power of cocaine lol I finally accepted that I'm watching Roger Rabbit (or super faithful adaption of the character one can argue) with straightforward plot - I had a blast. Characters started bounce of each other just right: jokes, dialogue, music, gags, set designs, fights all of it started to felt right.
But then it got even better when Huntress showed up. Oh, boy I wish they would make a solo movie with her. That actress just stole the movie and that's despite Harley being great in it too. They even managed to keep movie together after the mood shift Bruce. Mexican standoff was fanfuckingtastic along with the chase and that damn ending)
tl;dr Movie made surprising comeback at 40 something mark and turned out to be not just "good bad film" but legit good one.
The movie has very strong energy, Margot as Harley still fits perfectly and you can tell the character means a lot to her, Mary and Jurnee did amazing as Huntress and Canary despite the short stick they were given in terms of screentime. The fight scenes are well done and well choreographed and the soundtrack features a lot of strong females in the industry.
One thing I wish they'd have done is during the scenes with mercenary's coming after Harley would be if we were able to see some of the D-List villians that DC has hidden away.
chaotic and violent in the absolute best way!! we already knew margot was going to be great, this movie just proves even more that she was born to play harley. rosie, mary, chris, ewan, and ella were perfectly cast. JURNEE FUCKING SMOLLETT-BELL YOU GUYS!!!! SHE IS INCREDIBLE AS BLACK CANARY I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!! I NEED A SEQUEL OR SOLO MOVIE NOW!!
everyone that says this movie is bad, is boring and doesnt know how to have fun because i had A BLAST
also, those fight scenes were INCREDIBLE
