That was something. There was criminally little character development. But goddamn at the end of it I gave a shit about all of them.
I’m not sure what they were getting at with the ending but it was a good film in which I fully expected to hate it.
I was being a smart ass but I really, really enjoyed that movie. I thought it was a fun idea to have simultaneous storylines going on, and I thought it was a cool way to show a broken mind dealing with trauma through escapism, and I thought all of the actors did a solid job of selling their characters. The over-the-top fantasy sequences were a blast, visually. Other than that I'm also a fan of movies that don't spoon feed stuff to the audience. I think you have to draw your own conclusions about the ending. I think it's up to you to interpret the art for yourself. [Reply]

That's fair. I think I know what it was getting at - I'll put my thoughts in the spoiler - but yeah, I turned it on for some background noise and became really involved in it. I thought it was well done. And like I said, I expected to hate it.
Spoiler!
She figured out that the only way to "win" was to go back in, get the labotomy, and set forth a series of events that would get Oscar Isaac caught. That's why she gave John Hamm the look that spooked him.
Finally watched this now that it's out on video. What a turd. Felt like an extended Black Mirror episode in some ways. Irrational and dumb. Robbie did OK, but not much help from the others. The Huntress was so awkward and terrible. Every time she opened her mouth it was just cringy. The plot was a complete mess. The bad guy was a goofball and never really felt intimidating regardless of what he did. Completely forgettable. [Reply]
So yeah hey......the new Harley Quinn cartoon on SyFy isn't exactly a call back to the old Saturday morning Superfriends, now is it? Haha, shiiiiiit….. [Reply]

Haven't seen it. I only gave the movie a chance because I liked Margot Robbie in the role. [Reply]

"Oh, cool. Stylistically this looks like the Batman and Superman stuff they were doing in the 90s. Lemme check this out."

"Holy shit, this stuff is full of swearing and violence... Cool!" [Reply]
I like seeing new stories for the characters, but the infusion of adult themes and language with the type of humor they're using needs work.
Yeah. It was pretty bad. In the five minutes or so I could stand they have the characters acting like High School kids and the dialogue/story geared towards Junior High School kids. And then they throw in an occasional 'fuck' or a severed limb/head...for edginess I guess. It's a mess. [Reply]
