I don't know how I'd rank all of the DC flicks at this point. All I can say is BoP was a damn good time at the movies.
Was it perfect? No. But some things that I didn't like I accept are just personal taste and not indicative of the film's quality. I'm just not super big on Margot hamming it up sometimes as Harley. Some of the choices she makes to come off larger than life feel too obvious to me. Like the way she races through certain lines or how her mannerisms can be, iunno, squirrel-like in how manic they are. It makes me realize how amazing Heath was with the lip-licking thing alone. But I get it's just the way the character is so I'm not hating so much as just observing.
The action was aces though. And I think this flick occupies a really cool area on the CBM spectrum. Where WW was sorta this altruistic view of feminity, BoP feels more normalized. Like it's just women as regular humans. It ain't always about saving humanity so much as just surviving the night. There's room for both and more of course.
Lastly, Ewan stole the gahdamn show. Shot way up to the top spots in my villain fandom. I don't feel the trailers really showcased this and I'm glad. Was totally shocked by what we got. I'll just leave it at that.
