When I looked at the movie theater closed down all the reasons to close the epidemic, the people of US imperialism across the Atlantic, but in February it ushered in the early 2020's first superhero movie - "Halle Quinn: Raptor squad" .
As we all know, the same American comic magnates, while the Marvel Universe is tossing the "ten years of layout, the peak battle", the DC Universe is still struggling on the road of "rise".
When the characters of "The First Generation Avengers" were already in the hearts of movie fans, the "Justice League Big Three" of the DC Universe had already begun to exchange actors, and the next-to-top Neptune was the only one, but the role played by Mera after the sea was deep. In the midst of the scandal, in the end, DC's most successful character is still the " Wonder Woman " played by Gal Gadot .
However, the DC Universe is not only limited to the "Justice League", there is also a superhero that can be called the "Pillar" of the DC Universe. If Wonder Woman is the number one DC woman, then she is nothing. The beaked female number two-"Harley Quinn" Harley Quinn .
I still remember that when "Suicide Squad" turned out, I saw a group of demons and demons appear on the stage, which is really impressive. I have seen too many magnificent superheroes, and suddenly saw a group of evil criminals come to fight and save the world. Of course fresh and exciting.
In "Suicide Squad", the most impressive one is undoubtedly the "Harley Quinn" Harley Quinn. She is bright and charming, but she can also be hideous. She is sexy and enchanting, but she can also act like a baby and make her crazy. , But at the same time love and sex, she has no superpowers, but kills between talking and laughing.
Australian actress Margot Robbie's exaggerated and personal performance made the " Joker Girl " in "Suicide Squad" a movie character with a sense of comics, which can be called a classic! Without a doubt, I love Harley Quinn—but I don’t love Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey.
In fact, "Suicide Squad" could not be said to be an excellent comic book film. Margot Robbie's indispensable personal charm concealed too many flaws in this work, so if "Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey" With the mentality of cheating on the old, I am afraid that he will add another bad debt to the precarious DC universe.
Sure enough, when the overseas reputation of " Birds of Prey" was released, my guess was verified. IMDB6.6, META60, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes 78. These ratings all express the conservative and mediocre nature of this work.
And when I finished watching the movie, I became more determined: Unfortunately, the bonus of Margot Robbie's personal charm has been eaten up .
Even though her performance in "Birds of Prey" is still full of sharpness and vitality, Halle Quinn is still that cute and charming "villain", but she can no longer give the audience the kind of surprise when they first watched "Suicide Squad". Feeling of it.
Margot Robbie is undoubtedly the Dinghai Shenzhen in this secondary line layout of DC (if DC really has a layout), but no matter how good the iron rod is, it needs a knowledgeable grandson to make it stretch and retract freely.
In addition, although the film is remarkable in the shaping of Harley Quinn, there are still obvious gains and losses.
The highlight is mainly on the level of art. I am incompetent in accepting Harley Quinn’s new hairstyle, but the colorful and punk-style costumes continue to some extent the picture of "Suicide Squad", and the firework paintball One person singles out the scene of the police station, and it is the most comic-style scene in the whole film. It is very happy and right !
However, the characterization of Harley Quinn has fallen into a situation of "want to be able to make things but not dare to move". In "Suicide Squad", how does the clown girl who has been classified as a "bad guy" in " "Birds of Prey" is properly cleaned up without losing the so-called "anti-hero" weird temperament, which seems to be a contradictory proposition .
Outside of the focus of "Harley Quinn", other aspects of the film are almost completely mediocre or even failure.
In terms of narration, the jumping narrative that switches back and forth in the first half may to some extent echo Harley Quinn’s first-person perspective. After all, the characters have the so-called attention disorder, but the effect is mediocre. In the later period, they start to be more traditional. Flat and straightforward.
Regardless of narrative techniques, from the perspective of the type of story, "Birds of Prey" is no different from most Hollywood crime movies of the last century. It is extremely lacking in novelty, or simply, very boring.
In the characterization, except for Harley Quinn himself, the other characters are almost all paper-like existences, the black canary in the gray area, the huntress with a deep vengeance, the policewoman who is unsuccessful, and the thief girl who is a little ghost. The so-called "Birds of Prey" did not formally assemble and fight in the last twenty minutes.
Therefore, "Birds of Prey" has become a super long trailer like many major Hollywood productions in recent years.
The villain is almost the most inexistent villain in DC's works, and the combat power is negligible. This is really not Marvel's life, but it has Marvel's disease! (I personally think that Marvel had almost no oppressive villain before Hela and Thanos.)
Speaking of combat effectiveness, this is the last point I want to talk about.
The more heroine movies you have seen, the more you can feel the preciousness of Scarlett Johansson and Gal Gadot. Their excellent action skills can complete extremely exciting action scenes. Although Margot Robbie has Outstanding acting skills and hard performances are always inferior.
What's more, the action design of the film itself is just the level of street fights. In a comic film where the characters lack super power settings, it is comparable to disaster. It is not as good as the embarrassing restart of "Charles of the Thunder", which is greatly weakened. The entertainment and viewing of the film.
As we all know, the Harley Quinn from "suicide squad" in a single carry out the production of "Raptor team", they reflect the positive wave of feminist rage of Italy, but our Chinese female director Yan Yu Qian need to know: When When a superhero fights, no feminist ideology can work well, and being able to fight is the last word .
