I finally get what Kathy Anne and Margot Robbie who's a producer here as well as the star. I
Get what they're trying to do. It's Amelie meets mrs
Mazal and that's kind of brilliant and I wish that they were
Bringing that up and as they promote this movie
Because both of those things are incredibly well received not so much box office wise and audience
They don't have big audiences, which should have been a red flag
When modeling your movie after them, but they are both very
Highly critically acclaimed and so that would help I think this movie
Also potentially be highly critically acclaimed. It's very actually as
Different it is as in tone from Todd Phillips Joker. It's very similar and it's taken Kapur character and
Modeling it after something that's non comic-book II and highbrow
although Todd Phillips
Didn't make a secret out of it where they seem to be really hiding that here and maybe you know what maybe I'm giving them
Too much credit, but they should run with it and say that this was the plan all along because it makes them look really good
Now as you all know from my coverage
I do appreciate a big swing but unfortunately a big swing can often lead to a big miss for every Joker
There are far more
Misses like Batman V Superman and the last Jedi
Which I enjoy both those movies, but you know, they ultimately you know
Really hurt hurt their their franchises
I don't think this is gonna hurt their franchise, but you know
It might lead to a bit of a dead end for Harley Quinn, but that's fine DC
You can just back her up and take her down another Road
It's and also, you know some people this is a low-budget film. So if it only appeals to like a
Smaller audience it could that could be fine for it
I mean Harley Quinn is a character who should appeal to a big audience
So I think to some degree Warner Brothers to be leaving money on the table
but if this can be highly if this can get critical acclaim and solid box-office well
Then I think Wonder Brothers and Margot. Robbie would be very happy with that
It's gonna I think that a lot remains to be seen with how this film is received both critically media wise
and also
At the box office it could end up with fans
It could end up being like a Mad Max fury road, which I think would be wonderful
now, I think that some people are
Guaranteed gonna love this movie just for sure. They're gonna love it
So I think that Margot Robbie's this is very much hires her birds of prey
Will definitely have an audience
And again, the question just is how big I mean if they kind of botch this trailer reaction a release yesterday
But it never trended even there's so much new footage in here that it should trend. It should have trended
I don't even think lasts an hour after he'd been released
It still hadn't trended top 20 and not anything from the trailer for hit birds of prey know Harley Quinn no black mass
No, no. Canary cry. No. Hi. You know, how does Bruce the hyena and not trend so I think that
You know that this movie is not getting people excited
Just yet. I think they should have released the trailer Brazil comic-con
It was two days before Wonder Woman's panel because that's when everybody was paying attention to it
All right, and they did play the trailer there. They just didn't really say publicly
Okay, so let's let's break this thing down as I said
There's a lot of goodies in here some I like
Some I don't so I don't like and some I don't know how I feel about. All right
Now as I said before I do love her shoes, she has an amazing shoe closet now. This is interesting. So
Like this looks like a porno doesn't it? Which maybe is intentional like that guy?
So doesn't look like he works in a police station
So she says I'd like to report a crime and I have to say it's very poorly done
But is that is that the genius of it? Is it poorly done intentionally because Harlequin isn't an actress I
Don't know. I mean Margot Robbie is not only I think a good actress but she gets a lot of nominations at this point
She's a double BAFTA nomination the same category, so I would think that she would do a good job here
But you know part of me I have to say I make the comparison I've been thinking about this too
Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow both he and Margot Robbie knocked it out of the park with very strong
you know choices big swings with their introductory movies and
Audiences had I think a much bigger reaction anyone expected both times instant stars for both of them it make both of them actually
instant mainstream stars those two roles
But I think in both cases
Neither one of them really had a strong enough handle on the character to go forward with it
and I worry that she'll have the same problems with Harley Quinn as
Because she can't even hold on to the accent her own in Harley Quinn accent as you can see in the trailer alone
That Johnny Depp ultimately had with Jack Sparrow, although everyone continued to enjoy Jack Sparrow
Even if he wasn't done as well as that first movie, so the same could be said for Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn
all right, so I
Mean it and so this is cute. I like I like how you know, it looks a little proper
I'm like do those canisters really work and she's like I'll show you but she has cut carrying non-lethal
Rounds and there's a like the glitter gun that's later on in the trailer. That's cool
But you know she likes to doodle boy
That's what she spends a lot of time on at home on her sofa, I guess decorating her weapons
It's you know, it's it's it looks like a fashion spread at Barney's, right?
Well Barney's is going out of business Oh, what's that?
Tell you you know, it's very Henry Mendel, which also went out of business
But you know, it's very like fashion II but you know
I don't know if that limits the audience or not and some of you were like who cares of elements the audience
Well, I told you that I felt that a wrinkle in time was eliminating the audience and the people like brie
Larson say well who cares if it's not for everyone?
Well, you know they spent a lot more money on a wrinkle in time that needed to be for everyone
But again the low budget for this movie isn't blasting if you're going to spend a lot of money
You need to sell a lot of tickets to make that money back and a profit because this is a business
All right
So that's also a non-lethal round then we go to the voiceover
Very Deadpool. I told you she'll be breaking the fourth wall
I don't know if I don't think the character needs to do that quite frankly
Now some of you felt that she she said, oh, she said she'd break up, but that she broke up with the Joker
It's totally mutual. I'm sure it's not which is hilarious
But I like that she's passing it off as it is now
Some of you said I saw some people go does this mean the Joker is dead
well based on Brazil comic-con way this is going is that she's
Exploding the place ace chemicals as you can see where she became Harley Quinn where there love
You know seemed to reach its high point or where it first officially started
So she just wants that off the face of the earth, right? I'd be like that's iconic Batman mythology
You don't have the right to get rid of that
They like it's CGI'd away just click and we'll put it back and it's very cartoonish. It explodes with colorful explosions, right? I
Like that, she just has one shoe on but her acting seems like acting to me although I like this
This is good. And I know a lot of you like this as well
Sometimes she really gets it right like sometimes she's just really good and I feel like maybe she had a more experienced director
They just keep doing takes on all the shots until she got as good as she isn't the other ones
So she's eating cheese was interesting. Most women would go with
With with with ready-whip, but you know to each their own
so she's very sad and
I liked it. I hope Margaery actually eats that because that'd be hilarious
So this is a shot from later on where I think that's Huntress driving her on the motorcycle and they're good
She's gonna launch her on her roller skates, which is I think I hope that scene is cool
Come on dad's chads2 house key you came in here and worked on this. So there's the Victor Zsasz
Also, there's some black masks. That's his mask is apparently into BDSM
Which is either not good or very a very healthy way to express herself, we'll see how the movie decides to go with it
But I'd be curious to see what the logic is behind him wanting to wear a mask
Why would you and McGregor wanna Gregor want to cover up that face? I like Ewan McGregor a lot. He's very good here
I think what iswhat we can see of him, but that is a disturbing wall. That's always that one
You know, she hates Joker, but they seem to be the same interior decorator, or maybe she did all his decorating for him
And that's why they're hilarious. Look very similar, but I like the longer hair on her
I have to say I think it looks better so
I like now look at that. He's such a professional. I loved you and McGregor
He's a professional actor and he's playing a very professional criminal
I just think you know that just oozes the guy in charge. I think it's fantastic and I like his gloves speaking of fashion-forward
So here she's in the evidence room and they actually have her get on a coke I I mean here's the thing
Deadpool had a lot of really adult humour and a lot of people took their kids out of the movie once it started
But you know and I course said that they should have had a pg-13 version of that film
And I think the Deadpool will become pg-13 when he makes his MCU debut
You know sooner so we don't know when but you know as he said over the holidays they're working on it
But I I mean like it's one thing to have drugs in the movie
But to have the lead character actually taking drugs and getting a benefit from it
I I just feel again you're leaving more and more more and more money on the table
It's just becoming so nice you might as well be a streaming show. Alright
So she's like super powered
That's pretty cool. I do like the action and I think margot robbie and whoever her stunt person is are doing a very nice job
Very sharp moves. I don't know what checks the house key shot and what was done originally, but I think it all looks good
This is crazy. How does Victor Zsasz not feel some very she's not even really a child anymore a teenager's hand in his pants
I mean she doesn't even bump into him
I mean like wow, he must be really zoned out man. Talk about that seems like more drug
Use don't take drugs kids because you got pickpocketed in broad daylight really obviously with someone's hand fully down your pants. Alright
So I hope she doesn't eat it. You know that was in the original edit
They've done a lot of cutting apparently that's been or part of it's been taken out
That's look so so too big to eat III just don't think it's a good idea. Alright, I
Can't believe that's Cassandra Cain what I think a lot of this stuff we're just gonna have to let it go right
Alright, so I like to use this pants rolled up, but he has no socks on he's very cool
So she's talking about here how everybody has a problem with he's got a lot of lady problems. Okay, so
Cassandra Cain has robbed him
Black Canary has betrayed him
I wonder what's going on between the two of them and then they say that hunters killed his BFF in it
But not Victor says so I'm not quite sure
You know, I guess he has a lot of a lot of friends friends
Although I do like this it's very clearly CGI'd and you can see a lot of CGI blood splatter
But it is there's blood splatter there. So I appreciate it. So she's stabbing. This guy's they go down the slide
that's very Huntress and I do like
Harlequins reactions like you're so cool. I don't know why they're all following Harley Quinn
I guess you know, I'd like to see someone try to take over as leader quite frankly, right?
But and this is a crazy set. I don't know if it looks kind of unprofessional to me but yet it's interesting. Okay
And then they say rename want Renee. Montoya is building a case against him, but she's clearly quit
She's like SIA. I think that's Cassandra on that picture there. That's her mugshot there next day her so she's like see
Yeah, I'm going to join a girl gang. I
Like this shot of quite a bit again, I don't know why you and McGregor would cover his face up
That's a cool suit and I like these gloves kind of look like bones in that shot and you can see there's a souvenir
Novelty stand behind them. I guess Harley Quinn is the one who brings. It's the her idea to bring them
Maybe it's an old Joker hideout. So she's like I know this place very well
Let's have this go down here. That would make sense. Although why would Roman go along with it? That's black masks real name
I like this Batman the Animated Series style car
So there are some cheap masks, I guess that's his henchman he's into masks
Apparently they'd be like why don't we get such ugly mask? It's like shut up and go in there and die
You're all red shirts anyway
So she's like we all have to work together and they're like, okay we just are so happy to be in a movie
Both as characters and as actors
All right
So he puts on his mask
Somehow by the end of the movie that's gonna get fused to his face
And then you're like are we still gonna pay for Ewan McGregor?
I don't know maybe Jim Carrey and the Grinch makeup made a difference Universal trying to get out of using him
They were like, oh, I don't have to pay Jim Carrey money
if we can't see Jim Carrey and they did take
Tests with the makeup on him and someone else and they were like we can tell
So I think I don't you could probably tell if you in McGregor
alright
So there they are I will talk with the hyena when the hyena shows up more at the end
But you know, they're enjoying some delicious burritos making me want a burrito. All right, so
There you can see
Hunters I believe is up, you know toeing along Harley on a roller skates and Harley goes to take out this car
She's no Gina Carano. So I'm impressed that she's able to take out all these grown men while she's on another coke. I
But now here they try and work in the psychiatrist angle which I think I know I mean I see what they're doing
I don't love it, but I do appreciate the nod. Do you know her psychiatrist background?
I like this. That's one of my favorite shots in the entire trailer. That's great taking you out with a confetti like a confetti
Balloon, you know, it's enough. It's enough of an impact to stop them and it looks amazing
It's a great choice it hits it checks all the boxes
When it comes to Harley Quinn what you want in a Harley Quinn movie whoever came up with that is genius. It's fantastic
So I like that they I think it's funny that they credit the characters and there's by the way Cassandra Cain
Is clearly at the roller derby match? So I like it's fine that they kept they have the characters rather than the actors
Also, I I just you know, all these women beating up all these guys. I mean at the end of the day
Testosterone is a factor
so female vigilantes and villains if they're gonna enter the physical part of this they need to have
Things to help them out like the canary cry which will come up shortly
But just you know
I don't know like there's one shot with speaking of Black Canary in just a moment where it's so clearly choreographed
It's like it's oh, it's like ridiculous. Okay, so all these women are taking on all these men
The Victor Zsasz is my guy have some tricks up my sleeve
So there's the glass shattering that we've seen before I do love her in the roller derby outfit, I think it looks fantastic
I didn't love the comic that this is based on to be honest with you
I thought it was all over the place just like the movie is
And it wasn't as sophisticated
as
although the COG is given away to a lot of a lot of great things this movie which we hope will work out I love
the animated series on DC Universe
But the roller derby angle was one of the better things that they came up with and she looks great there
It's very Harley and there's Victor Zsasz. And what seems to be happier days. He's having such a great time
I don't know if that's his family or not. But he's he looks funny. That's funny. I like that
He's like, I love my family because he's his faces and all messed up. So clearly as I said happier days
Alright, so more fighting. There's the canary cry looks pretty good. I gotta say I
Like it
This is such a nice aesthetic
Stylistically, it's it's it's interesting. We'll see how it comes across I
Think that could the costumes for everyone but Harley are pretty bad
Then I do love this fighting in the rain a musical number. I think that's great
I wonder if they'll play it if they got the rights to the song. That would be fantastic
So that she lights his beard on fire
Very true romance, and she's a little Patricia Arquette like, you know in that in that movie. Oh
He's doing more of the hand gestures. He really asked us. That's why he wears the gloves
He's very much like a conductor with his with his bad guys
And he'll use popcorn. Eeeh snacks. He's good snacks. I love it
And then here is that shot I was talking about. So Black Canary is gonna do some martial arts moves
She's gonna kick this door, but you could see it the guys just waiting there holding the door for her
Like why would he do that? I'd be like you've plenty of time to get away, buddy
It's like no I got to set up this cool shot
and so then she just kicks the door onto his head while he was waiting for and he was like
I'm ready and I'm sure he pulled it in quite a bit to make sure it went through so you can I mean
That's just a very sloppy
fight
Shot it's just really poorly done
Embarrassingly so well, but look they're low. Maybe they're laughing at it. I do like this
I mean if they're gonna have I hope they do I
have I think that I didn't like the
Dick pics on the diamond that a little girl had swallowed storyline
But I think it's a really interesting
Idea to have an LGBT villain as long as he's not done in a camp way and like in an insulting way
But I think it's great especially in a in a female centric movie
I think it's a really interesting choice and I hope they don't dial that back. I hope that they they go for it
I mean the worst thing to do would be to only kinda go for it. We don't need more queerbaiting in Hollywood
So I'm excited for it and I hope it's very much in the movies
So I like that shot a lot. I'm like, yes, go for it. All right, I
Hope they're happy together. Alright, so
But I just want to make sure that black mask is still a very good
Villain, it's not a joke, but is someone that a lot people want to see more of and other DC EU movies?
That's what you want you want if you're gonna have an LGBT character you want a vibrant?
It's competitive and you know is there to stay?
So that's a great shot. And then she does the wink and they put they even look it's so like mrs
Mazal anomaly with with the
White lens the light the light flare on the Rhinestone on the sunglasses
And they're like, it's really about all about Harley Quinn. And yes a hyena in a bathtub. This looks fantastic
And oh, by the way, that stupid beaver is in this movie. I'm so upset about it
It's an inappropriate joke, but she's like if you see my beaver and there's my beaver and you're like are you kidding me?
I hated it in the comic that it comes from and I hate it here
But who cares who cares me that stupid beaver when we can look at the sign up
I think she should have to two hyenas are really cool. Just look at Halle Berry and John wick
Just look at Jumanji had to highness and they were super cool the latest Jumanji
So I guess she can only afford one right now
But I hope she works her way up to to pretty soon but I think this is a great gag
I love that she has the hyena and I think it's very funny that she says she named Bruce after that
hunky Wayne guy, although that joke really only works if it's Ben Affleck, not so much Robert Pattinson who seems you know,
Not really a match with Margot Robbie
So I liked his laugh. That's funny. That's great. I like that. I like Harley Quinn with her hyenas is pretty pretty amazing
You just can't go wrong there. So that's my shot-by-shot breakdown of the trailer
I think this is a real wild card and I guess you know, we'll see how it turns out
I'm sure Warner Brothers. Would love Joker or even Joker light instead of you know, another Batman V Superman
Yeah, he made a lot of money, but they're really trying to avoid here is the Charlie's Angels era Ghostbusters
Which were both also female centric films. So we'll see how this comes across
So, what did you think and by the way, Charlie's Angels was pretty darn good and it's a shame
It's a shame that it wasn't given a shot
Alright, so but this luckily at least has a comic book, you know, what's going for it?
I think people will be more interested as a result. Alright, so share your thoughts down below subscribe today
