DC's best movie in 12 years. Intelligent writing, incredibly stylish visuals, a small-stakes plot that actually makes sense (not saving the world again), unique action scenes that you !truly! have not seen before, extremely consistent attention to detail, deep references from the lore, fantastic acting almost across the board, and no shoehorned fanservice like you can see in some of Marvel's flicks. I never felt pandered to.
-The plot stands alone- you don't need to have seen any other DC movie for backstory or whatever.
-The tone is much closer to Deadpool than it is to Suicide Squad, but it's unique enough that you can't call it a ripoff.
-Soundtrack rips.
-I'll be frank: just like Joker didn't have any "incel" stuff, Birds of Prey doesn't have any "girl power!" stuff. It's just a movie where the main characters are women. It's not like that scene in Endgame.
