Critics Consensus

While it's a fun and well-paced contribution to the DC franchise, Birds of Prey is weighed down by complex narratives and hokey performances.

Loaded with atmosphere, most of it gloomy. Summons the inner geek. Go to Full Review Catherine Dawson March Globe and Mail 03/11/2020
It's quirky and will draw comic-book lovers not upset by this perversion of the Batman legend. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle 01/22/2020
3/4
It's mindless fun, has all the escapist qualities certain people may be looking for and, even if it isn't the most solidly performed hour you've ever seen, will undoubtedly develop a little cult following. Go to Full Review Jeff Simon Buffalo News 01/22/2020
"Birds of Prey" is nothing more than garden variety counter-programming for Wednesday nights. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr Film School Rejects 01/22/2020

12/24/2021 under rated short lived show. with a few seasons it would have been even better than smallville or even have cross episodes. 100 times better the best episodes of the current CW DC shows. not sure how supergirl lasts 6 seasons beeing total garbage and this is discarded on the first 13 episodes. See more 03/07/2021 Just a melted box of crayons trying to be a good movie but fails miserably! Worst DC movie yet! See more 02/02/2020 Really bad acting, bad writing, bad dialogue, and bad choreography. I loved it! Just kidding. See more Jrock16 M @Jrock16 12/11/2019 Good plot and interesting characters. Always fun to see Harley Quinn on screen. The biggest problem is the over reliance on CGI See more Read all reviews
