The Time Traveler's Wife (2022)
HOW did this ever get greenlit
This is a story of a man who grooms a child. There's no skirting around that fact. I could have enjoyed it if it wasn't for that fact but every time they met in her childhood my stomach turned and I wanted to throw up.
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
Excellent
This movie was a perfect fit for the character of Harley Quinn. It doesn't take itself too seriously, it's fun, bubblegum and violent and was clearly made by people who love the source material.
Super movies try too hard to be gritty and realistic nowadays but the tone, humour and the way Gotham was portrayed makes the universe feel more three dimensional than most batman adaptations. I always asked myself why people continued to live in Gotham with all the crime and villainy happening but this actually seemed like a real place and showed that just because it's crime ridden doesn't mean everything has to be grey and depressing all the time.
Perfect casting. Especially Robbie, who you can feel absolutely adores Quinn. McGregor is unexpected and funny and I enjoyed the parallels of his character and
Messina's Zsasz to the Joker and Harley.
Clothing and set design were so fashionable and non... Halloween costume feeling. They felt true to Harley whilst being modern and fun.
I genuinely do not understand the bad reviews for this
