Birds of Prey is a dynamite girl-powered superhero movie exploding with ultra-colour and a butt load of fun. Yan’s wonderfully stylised film isn’t afraid to get silly (and sweary) compared to the royal mess that was 2016’s Suicide Squad. Think of a slightly tamer Deadpool without all the insufferable meta BS.

Joker review - a thrilling rendition but no masterpiece
Joker is a gritty and thrilling contemporary adaptation with an awards worthy performance from Joaquin Phoenix. A disturbing and demented origin story that breaks down the iconic Batman villain and strips him raw. What we’re left with is a frail, damaged and vulnerable member of a failed society… Even so, the film doesn’t break as much ground as one might expect.
Birds of Prey trailer - Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is back

Suicide Squad Extended Cut trailer
Suicide Squad was by no means perfect but it was still a bit of harmless fun and one hell of a cool marketing campaign. Fans were outraged though by the fact that so much footage was supposedly cut from the film. Even Jared Leto complained, apparently they’d cut enough Joker scenes to make a whole new movie. This new trailer gives us a little taste of what to expect. There will be 13 extra minutes altogether - more of the bar scene, more Harley Quinn, and yes, more Joker.
Suicide Squad review
6.5/10
The latest from the DC Entertainment universe films certainly had a lot of hype and hope from comic book fans, more so after the slaughter of Batman v Superman. Suicide Squad or just ‘Skwad’ as it’s been dubbed on social media, is a fun and somewhat thrilling ride into the world of DC supervillains, and that’s about it. Nothing profound going on here, just a fun superhero movie. But that’s ok, isn’t it?
