Harley Quinn

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2016)

Harley Quinn is a sexy cash cow that was bound to be monetized into a major motion picture and this movie is the quintessential form of what I know from the Harley Quinn Universe. I am a fan but I am not a fanatic. I did, however, grow up watching the Batman cartoon with Harley Quinn and that version of the joker and this movie is a perfect stamp from that mould. I read some bad reviews but I saw that the general consensus on the IMDb was about a 7 and that is always a good movie in my experience. Based on the previews I was impressed by the storyline and thought that over-all the movie was very well written, directed, and acted. And it did a good job of livening my interest in the Joker/Harley Quinn cartoon movies and continuations of that version of the Batman universe. You know, I think an aging generation doesn't get it but before watching this movie I saw previews for yet ANOTHER King Kong movie and it too looked like an exciting movie. I had to say, "it appears that Hollywood has run out of ideas" but apparently they've been saying that for 50 years. And with Bollywood coming out with amazing movies and the Russian Avengers getting interest in the United States it may be that the dust has settled in Tinseltown and another region of the world gets a turn at being the glory hole. We shall see about that, but I rate this movie as a ten because there's no amount of money or talent that could have made this a better movie. It's too bad our standards are so high that the populous just doesn't get that the passion has been dimming for a while. A person who is fat and happy can still do a good job but they can't make magic. That is a privilege relegated to the poor, the hungry, and the undiscovered.
