movie backdrop

Whilst many films have a message its a fine line between informing and lecturing.

For me "Birds of Prey" fails to appreciate this distinction. Its incessant, brittle, feminist finger wagging, is downright tiresome and quickly exhausted any sense of pleasure, I might have derived from this film.

Its a shame too, as the underyling mechanics of the story could have worked well as a basic, by the numbers, action mash up.

Regrettably that was not to be and whats left, is not something I would pay to see again. Which also applies to any spin offs or future efforts, in this vein.

2/10.
