Yikes.
Everything about this movie I've read or seen makes it look like a massive train wreck, which is extremely disappointing as a fan of the Birds of Prey in the comics. Course, this seems to be Birds of Prey in name only really.

So maybe I’m crazy but...there’s barely anything here to judge yet.
Like, hey, not saying people can’t think that way, I just find it kind of weird to do it right now.

Saw nothing on that trailer to elicit a “hate” reaction Thought it looked fine and I enjoyed the Harley Quinn IT reference. Just a standard teaser trailer.

The first real trailer should feature way more Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Mixing Birds of Prey and Gotham City Sirens doesn't sound a bad idea at all, because pretty much every movie or series about comics that I've seen has been a mixed bag of something. The most important thing is to get more more "material" out of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn before she's like 40 or the film makers reboot everything again and again. She's one of the biggest sex icons of past 10 years. We'll see other characters get more time in the future, let these films be more like Harley Quinn showcase. Then again, I haven't been too invested in movies lately... I love the comics that I've read, but don't really expect more out of these films than great cosplay and fun scenes. The Joker film on the other hand I've high hopes for...

I'm not sure about this as Harley has X-pac heat with me.
Between the overpush DC have given her (I DO get why) and Tom King's handling of her in Heroes In Crisis, I'm just sick of the bitch

I don't get the negative reaction over that. It was just a short teaser that really didn't show anything, though I've always liked Harley more as independent antihero than Joker's domestic abuse victim.

Well, they're doubling down on the kooky...

Well, they're doubling down on the kooky... That doesn’t exactly fill me with a tonne of confidence but I’m thinking if I can get past the fact that it’s called Birds of Pray and not expect much from the BoP then I’ll probably get an enjoyable performance from Robbie

What’s with all the gaudy gold jewelry? From all of the promotional stuff they've put out so far and what few on set photos I've accidentally stumbled across, it looks like Harley's fashion for this flick is very 90's hip hop inspired. Like, early 90's hip hop inspired. Like. Wear your overalls backwards kind of hip hop. Yeah. The poster reinforces what the demo reel teaser and the teaser gave me the vibes of, that this is going to be very early 2000's "practically only just in name and we're too embarrassed to do too much else" Birds of Prey and little more. I haven't looked into the evidence, but there's been some sources confirming none of the Birds ever "suit up" as it were. And there's been some rumblings (though they couldn't get hard confirms) Black Mask never puts on...you know, his black mask. I'm sure it'll have an audience and I'm sure some people will love it like some did Suicide Squad, but still a big no thanks frustratingly from me (as a big fan of the Birds of Prey).

Really just the leaked plot details are enough for me to declare this movie a total dumpster fire.

Harley Quinn was one of the few things I enjoyed about Suicide Squad, but I don't know here. The poster looks a bit too silly as if it's entering parody territory and the leaked plot details... yikes.

If Margot Robbie wasn't in this, I'd have no interest. That is enough to tell me to wait until I can stream it at home.

Yeah, this is looking more like "The Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn... featuring The Birds of Prey".

Nothing says "DC Comics" like a poster full of characters I don't recognize. I mean for gods sake, Bryan Singer's X-Men looked far removed from their comic counterparts, but you could still immediately tell who everyone was on the poster. This just looks like a bunch of random characters they made up and slapped DC names on. Oh, and here's the director of the movie literally admitting this is just a Margot Robbie vanity project, actually referring to the movie as "Harley plus girls". www.comicbookmovie.com/birds_of_prey/birds-of-prey-margot-robbies-wanted-a-harley-quinn-plus-girls-story-according-to-the-movies-writer-a170613DC needs to get their shit together with these directors. They made serious headway with Patty Jenkins, James Wan, and David F. Sandberg. Now however they're slipping into Fox Marvel territory where they're just letting directors f*** their characters up six ways from Sunday because "art" or something.
