Whilst there is significant praise for Robbie’s commitment to the whacky and wonderful nature of the character, a huge amount of praise has been fished out to how the film apparently leans heavily into its R-rating. In fact “John Wick” helmer Chad Stahelski was brought in to work on the films fight scenes. And if these reactions are anything to go by it appears to have payed off. As much as you have to take early reactions with a pinch of salt, this is extremely positive for Warner Bros, considering some of the DC disasters they’ve brought to the screen in the last 10 years. The film has even been described in some quarters as ‘Deadpool’ with a dash of Tarantino’, whilst others have called it ‘hyper stylised’, ‘a crazy funhouse’, and ‘weird, whacky and super-violent’. Cast wise, Mary Elizabeth-Winstead’s ‘Huntress’, JurneeSmollett-Bell’s ‘Black Canary’ and Ewan McGregor’s ‘Black Mask’ have also been singled out for eye catching performances, especially McGregor’s ‘hysterical, eccentric, and deliciously pathetic’ take on the DC villain. The full review embargo lifts this Wednesday so look out here for more updates. “Birds Of Prey” opens internationally on February 7th. Contribute Hire me
