Mixed feelings on this. Super fun performances from Robbie and McGregor. Some nice moments here and there. I appreciate how wacko it tries to be. Evidence garage action scene was a blast (despite clearly being directed by Chad Stahelski). Shares a lot of off-the-rails post-cinema elements with The Rise of Skywalker, but because it tries to have it both ways by doing that and also slowing down into a conventional movie for extended stretches, it just winds up being a mess. A big, bold swing of a mess, but a mess nonetheless.

There is a part where Harley Quinn gets a whiff of cocaine and it has a Popeye/spinach effect on her

Ewan McGregor plays a psychopathic version of the hipster fashion designer from Zoolander 2

Honestly I liked this movie a lot but the more I think about it the more I realize my favorite part was everything related to Ewan McGregor and his henchman/lover

The only part I thought dragged or gave me less than stellar vibes was the elongated fight inside the Booby Trap. It's the only scene I wanted to get over with. It was a little off tonally: too much John Wick, not enough wacky hijinx. (I believe the director of JW actually directed or choreographed that sequence.)

I had so much fun; its weird , its a mess sometimes but it’s so fucking fun. And violent. And damn, they really get Harley.
Robbie was amazing as usual but the cast was really good too.

Only bummer is

Thanks to all the bad marketing and theatres getting shutdown, i never got to see this.
From what this dude says, it was a Deadpool and Jack Sparrow ripoff. A poor one.
