What were some kind of birds of prey?

Welcome to watch Mojo.

And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 reasons.

Birds of Prey is better than suicide squad, but it turns out I wasn't the only Damon got him looking for emancipation For this list we're looking at Why 2000 twenties Birds of Prey is a vast improvement over its 2016 predecessors.

Suicide Squad Number 10.

The editing and pacing.

One of the biggest issues with Suicide Squad was its pacing, which isn't surprising since quote multiple editors were brought on board.

The result was two hours of exposition loosely tied together by something resembling conflict.

Making matters worse, Suicide Squad kept shoehorning in flashbacks with little rhyme or reason.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Birds of Prey isn't executed in chronological order either, but this narrative structure actually works to its advantage.

The movie is told from Harley Quinn's perspective, and since her mind is unhinged, it makes sense that her story would jump around.

Ah, shit.

I told this all wrong quick history lesson.

While Harley isn't the most focused narrator, the plot and motivations are never incoherent.

Even when Harley backtracks to explain someone's backstory, she does it in such an entertaining way.

It's hard to complain.

Number nine.

It's funny.

David Ares original Cut of Suicide Squad was apparently much gloomier until the studio demanded something more humorous and fun, akin to what we saw in the trailers.

Music cowgirl, that kind of a mission.

Have a seat.

She seems nice, with the exception of a couple of lines from Harley and Will Smith's Dead Shot, though most of the attempts at Comedy fell flat.

Ames if this man shoots me, I wanted to kill him.

I want to go clear my browser history.

Heck, the funniest lines were in the trailers, but not the theatrically released film.

I Could Kill Everyone and escape.

Sorry voice.

Whereas Suicide Squad was a failed guardians of the galaxy wannabe Birds of Prey feels like Deadpool Soul sister.

Yeah, it's May Deadpool and I got an offer that you can't refuse.

Like the Merc with a mouth, Harley is an endless source of witty one liners, screwball charm and hilarious fourth wall breaks.

Who are you guys?

Harley isn't alone, however, and the entire cast brings their own distinctive comedic timing to the table Number eight.

It's more visually interesting.

While Suicide Squad wasn't well received upon release, some people gave it credit for at least being more colorful than Man of Steel or Batman versus Superman.

Next time they shine your light in the sky, don't go looking back.

Years later, however, those glimpses of color are overshadowed by a lot of grimy settings and muddled cinematography.

Much of the time, it's hard to even make out what's going on.

The audience misses nothing in Birds of Prey.

Every scene pops out of us with eccentric art direction, costume design and effects.

The whole movie is like a comic book crossed with graffiti art.

The fact that this was director Kathy Yan's first big budget production makes the film's visual style all the more impressive.

Of course, there are traces of Yan's debut film, Dead Pigs Number seven.

It has better action if you're not going to develop the characters or deliver an involving story.

The least you could do is give us some cool action sequences.

Yet even the action in suicide squad was fairly by the numbers, resulting in one uninspired shootout after another.

For a film that prides itself on having such over the top characters, the set pieces couldn't have been more generic, culminating with yet another giant sky beam satellite in Birds of Prey.

The action matches our main characters, eccentric personality and the rebellious nature of her partners in crime.

From Harley's drug fueled prison escape to the climactic amusement park showdown, the film is a sugar rush than never slows down.

Imagine John Wick meets the Harleys holiday episode from Batman, the animated series I'm having a bad day.

I'm set Number six.

It's not a preview for future DC movies.

Why, Mr Wayne?

It's fitting that Suicide Squad was re cut by the company behind its teaser because the film was basically one bloated trailer for future D C projects.

After Batman versus Superman, we didn't need another movie to remind us that Justice League was coming.

Fortunately, Birds of Prey follows the example set by Wonder Woman Aquaman and She Zam.

Keeping things self contained, I invited another friend That's okay.

Rather than thinking about upcoming movies, Birds of Prey focuses on telling a standalone story with only a few mild references to the larger D c.

U.

This amounts to better character development, which in turn leaves the audience waiting to see more of these people in Sequels and spin offs.

At this point, we'd much rather see a movie about Huntress or Black Canary than Justice League, too.

Number five.

Harley Quinn takes center stage I was back on my feet, ready to enforce the fierce goddess with one of the few saving graces in Suicide Squad was Margot Robbie's dead on portrayal of Harley Quinn.

While the dialogue and story didn't offer much room for Harley to really let loose, the movie got a little more watchable whenever Robbie was on screen.

Oh, I get it because this is a sewer, too.

Only with nice shops and restaurants, right?

You hate mankind much.

Robby straight up steals the show and birds of prey, meaning there is rarely a dull moment.

Unless we open very unpleasant, we're gonna have to work together.

Harley's constant presence not only paves the way for a funnier, more rambunctious romp, but also a more interesting character study.

Harley started as the Joker's Hench woman, but the character has since taken on a life of her own, psychologically speaking vengeance rarely brings the catharsis we hoped for.

Yeah.

Are we ready?

Oh, this'll is reflected in Birds of Prey as Harley tries to figure out who she is without Mr J.

In short, she is a total wild card Harlequins role is to serve.

It's nothing that a master No one gives two shits who we are.

Beyond that.

Number four.

It's a stronger ensemble piece.

There's a moment in Suicide Squad where El Diablo says that he can't lose another family.

Given the lack of chemistry between the cast, though, this line never felt earned.

While Harley gets the most screen time in Birds of Prey, this is far from a one woman show.

L.

A.

J.

Bosco makes a strong debut as pickpocket Cassandra Journey Small it Belle beams with confidence is black Canary.

Rosie Perez is tough as nails is Renee Montoya and Mary Elizabeth Winstead kills it as the huntress.

What you are so cool.

Although we wish some supporting players got a little more time to shine, everyone leaves their mark and shares a great rapport.

Aside from Kill Bill, this is probably the closest we'll ever get to a Fox Force five movie Fox Force Five Foxes and we're a bunch of foxy chicks force, as in We're a force to be reckoned with.

And five, as in, there's 12345 Number three.

A superior villain.

We remember nothing about suicide squads.

Interpretation of Enchantress outside of her ridiculous outfit and dance moves.

Lady, you are evil way all want to forget about Jared Leto's performances?

The Joker, Which Birds of Prey apparently did bring the car while the Joker is mentioned in passing.

He's essentially a no show, with the spot light being shined on Eun McGregor's Roman Cy Onus, also known as Black Mask.

Granted, it is a little disappointing that Roman just wears a black mask on occasion rather than having one fused with face.

But nevertheless, McGregor has a blast in the role, crafting a villain who's menacing and despicable but still classy, humorous and a great foil for Harley.

It's also a nice departure for McGregor, who hasn't gotten to play many villains in the past.

Number two.

It went for an R rating.

Amanda Waller tracked down the worst of the worst for her suicide squad.

When a movie's PG 13 though, the characters are never allowed to be that bad.

What you gonna do?

I'm touching you.

Even Jared Leto pushed for the film, to be rated R, but the studio played it safe.

If 2000 nineteen's Joker taught Warner Brothers in D.

C.

Anything, it's that rolling the dice on a hard Our comic book movie can pay off in Fantabulous Ways Way Birds of Prey dives headfirst into R rated territory but never goes too far You cycle.

Never call a woman check Alex set Broad Lady on occasion.

As bloody and graphic is the violence gets, it's still executed in a fun, playful fashion.

The use of four letter words also feels natural and in sync with the characters.

Unlike 2019 Hellboy, where the foul language came, office forced your moral high ground is found on a pile of bullshit.

Number one.

It had a clearer vision.

Studio interference isn't always a bad thing, but Suicide Squad is a textbook example of how it can derail the whole production.

You helped me by erasing my mind what memories I have.

What started out as a much bleaker film was tweaked at the 11th hour to be more lighthearted, turning out the totally confused messed we'd all expect with Birds of Prey.

You get the sense that Kathy Yan and screenwriter Kristina Hodson went in with a clear vision that they ultimately executed.

Yen described her film as quote Pulp Fiction meets Russia Mon with a Bit of a Clockwork orange, which is essentially what we get.

Birds of Prey knows exactly what it wants to be delivering and off the wall action picture.

That's it's crazy as a circus and as absurd as a classic farce.
