I liked Birds of Prey.. shades of Deadpool. They had help from John Wick's director for the action sequences and it showed (intense yet coherent). Although there were a couple slow parts in the film where I couldn't help but doze off.
Ewan Mcgregor might be my favorite villain from any "hero" flick in a while and it helps the film a lot. You can tell he had a blast with the character, just going completely off the handle.
And no, the women didn't have much chemistry, it's true. But oddly it kind of worked in its favor... like that Deadpool crew. Just essentially a group randoms/misfits that decide to hang out and destroy some bad guys. In one's case because she had nothing better to do. The fact that it embraces that is mildly amusing.
