Birds of Prey: The Chronological Edit

This was a great fix for a very mediocre movie! The actual editing was seamless and you managed to turn a 5.0/10 movie into a 7.5-8.0 for me.

The original movie tried to hide its lack of a compelling narrative behind some fancy screenwriting tricks but when you strip those tricks away you can see how relatively straightforward the story here is (which is why it only gets an 8). It feels like the original was going for almost Pulp Fiction-esque character introductions, converging and diverging plot lines, and a team meet-up in the final act, but when you put the story in order it becomes very straightforward: Canary knows Harley and Cassandra (who are wanted women), Huntress wants revenge, and Det. Montoya is chasing all of them. They all meet up, realize "we're not so different, you and I," and kick men's asses. Satisfying and straightforward, just like the story should have been from the beginning.

Excellent work turning this movie from a jumbled mess into a fun movie about bad girls gone semi-good!

This was fantastic! I actually enjoyed it more than the original movie! I love how straight forward it is. Much less fat. And it works well as a segway for "The Suicide Squad"(2021). With how Harley becomes more sympathetic towards kids. I just wish there was more Huntress.
Definitely recommend it!

Contrary to most I liked the original movie but I absolutely hated the fact that there is a 40 minute flashback. This edit completely fixes that by having the movie okay out in chronological order. The only slight change in enjoyment/narrative is because the film itself isn’t a masterpiece and nothing can be done to make it one.

All 10 but Enjoyment only 5: this has nothing to do with the Editor but the movie itself!

I hated the film when it came out, than i got it as a praesent and tried it at home, but couldnt stand it still.
The Unchronologig attempt, to many VO´s and overall sillyness was just to much.
I have a problem with pretty much all the DC Films, some try to much on the serious side, this one is like a sprinkled, rainbow coloured Muffin, to sweet.

The editing is great, the Video sounds and looks great. The Film know has a better approach and pacing and i watched it in full.
We get proper introductions of everyone at the right time, this time and the fight scenes are placed very well.
Also the Diamond reveal is placed tip top where it should be.

Well done!

I missed this movie in theaters, then blind bought the bluray when it came out. I was hoping to like this movie and was massively let down. It took me three attempts to finally finish it, and by the time I had I felt like I had a migraine. Where the original cut struggled the most was without a doubt the non-linear story telling.

Wakeupkeo has masterfully edited Birds of Prey into a chronological story that focuses the plot, and in turn gives all of the character's more clear, much more satisfying arcs. While Harley is still the central character, the rest of the Birds of Prey are also able to shine as they are introduced far more effectively. The ramping up of Black Mask's sadism works well to heighten the story, and the decision to make Zsasz just a henchmen makes for a more interesting, less frustrating supporting character. This fan edit is excellently paced, running just 84 mins before the credits roll. This is easily the definitive version for any DCEU fan!
