Trailerwatch: MULAN! This made my heart sing. I also saw the Wonder Woman 1984 trailer, which felt like scattered bits from a very rough cut, but I loved the music, flashes of colour and Diana’s home. Kirsten Wiig’s character seems to have a touch of Selina Kyle’s arc in Barman Returns. Obviously the big mystery is how Steve comes back (and I want a better answer than nobody stays dead in comics).
Birds of Prey: And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn
They should have picked a shorter title for this movie. The cinema listed it as Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, which was actually even more confusing. Yes, the full title is fun, but someone should have made the realistic call and insisted it was called Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey.
Anyway, it was fun, at times, a lot of fun, and hurrah for that. Please let DC have moved on from the Zach Snyder era, thinking their movies had to have serious import.
