Of the three films in the Harley Quinn trilogy, “Birds of Prey” comes off as the least successful (while the first “Suicide Squad” had engaging characters, the weak storyline sabotaged the picture).
In “Birds of Prey”, Margot Robbie’s Harley is as fun as ever and the concept of an all female team had potential, but the film is too scattered and uneven and is weighed down by some incredibly chaotic cinematography. You know the filmmaking process has gone astray when you can’t really tell what’s going on during a climactic fight scene…
Thankfully, Harley’s saga would reach it’s zenith in James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad”. Until another installment in the series comes along, that’s the one to beat (and the most enjoyable!).
