Wasn't it confirmed that this film is relying on the "unreliable narrator" format?

I'm torn on this. I don't think it looks very good, but I'm in love with Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.
I'll probably wait for it to be available for streaming though.

I'm honestly not seeing why some people seem to think this'll be so bad.
Don't get me wrong: it absolutely could suck. DC films' track record is a bit all over the place, obviously.
But there's nothing in the trailers that has me assuming it'll be a bad flick, at least.

Seen a clip of Cassandra Cain in this movie. Well, I saw a clip of someone the filmmakers said was Cassandra, but it certainly wasn't the same character as the comics.

Yeah, people are upset because they're obviously going the "gay but in a way that's easily edited for foreign markets" route that big movies are going these days. Which is a steaming heap, especially stupid when they touted a same sex kiss in Rise of Skywalker, and then turns out to be a quick background moment that was easy to edit out so they could show it in China. Shows how far in the background it was that I didn't notice and had no idea this occurred.

A couple characters that were ancillary in previous scenes kiss.

I have absolutely zero interest to see this in Theaters. But I am incredibly curious to see how it does at the B.O

It reallu shouldnt be a big deal or something companies brag about to gain woke points.

It's a little over a week out until I go see it and advance tickets still aren't available. That alone is odd to me, but I guess it's not that big of a deal to buy them day of. I'm in a small enough market I could probably do that with every movie, but I get anxious sometimes.

I'll watch it. Definitely not a film I am in a rush to check out. Kind of wish it was "Green Lantern Corps" instead of "Birds of Prey" if I am completely honest here.

This movie looks pretty awful, but I really do like the costumes Harley is wearing. Very colorful.

Looks awful, but I reckon it will do decent numbers because of Harley.

There apparently was a screening for DC Universe subscribers, and the buzz seems to be mostly positive, so fingers crossed.

Harley Quinn as a Lantern would be something I seem to remember a comic storyline a few years ago where Harley, Deathstroke, Scarecrow, Superman, and Wonder Woman all somehow ended up in the Sinestro Corps for a brief time, though I couldn’t tell you the exact reasons why.

A ton of positive first reactions, and a handful of mixed reactions.

Could be a situation where Warner wanted to do a Birds of Prey movie, but didn't have faith in the product, found out Margot wanted to do a Harley movie, and decided to have the best of both worlds. Kind of like how Marvel Studios used Planet Hulk for the second act of Thor Ragnarok since they didn't have the distribution rights for Hulk.

Kind of like how Marvel Studios used Planet Hulk for the second act of Thor Ragnarok since they didn't have the distribution rights for Hulk. The original plan, back when WB were announcing DC movies by the dozen, was for a Harley and Joker movie, a Leto Joker movie, and a Birds of Prey movie featuring Harley. WB dropping Leto like a bad habit put the kibosh on the first two and turned the third into a Harley movie featuring the Birds of Prey.
