Comments | This is the Empty Arena Wrestlemania (which also features The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match, and John Cena vs. Brey Wyatt in a “Firefly Funhouse Match”) |
Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Actually, if you don’t have a WWE Network Subscription, if you’ve enjoyed wrestling in the past, you might consider picking up Wrestlemania 36 – especially for the Boneyard and Firefly Funhouse matches. Otherwise, pick up The Great Escape.” Blaine says, “I also recommend The Great Escape.”
I finally watched Birds of Prey. And maybe it’s me but I really, really didn’t enjoy it. It was cheesy but not in a good way. It was like it was trying to be Deadpool but without actually understanding what made it good.
I wasn’t horribly impressed either, but on the scale of the other DC movies, it was pretty good. It was no Wonder Woman, not even a Shazam, but maybe an Aquaman.
I came down on The FIlm Ultimately Known as Birds of Prey for its tonal incoherence, which then became part of our discussion here. It had some good elements as well. One responds to DC films on a curve.
I should add that when the reaction to your Harley Quinn “solo” movie is “You should make a Huntress movie!!!” you probably failed on some level. Especially when Huntress was in the thing for about 5 minutes.
