Like its net- mates, Birds of Prey boasts sharp casting of little-known performers whose personalities prove as feistily engaging as their exquisite looks. And, of course, they're smart talkers.
The production is bolstered by some stunning visuals and a few tantalizing plot twists that I won't go into here. Also, the we-don't-need-Batman female empowerment angle holds some intrigue. [9 Oct 2002, p.A1]

Awful Graphics, Bad controls. honestly thought the prequel to Gremlins 2: New Batch would be a little more challenging to the critical mind.
Report
Birds of Prey is a surprisingly amazing film. After a slight disappointment at Suicide Squad, we have a pleasant surprise here. The story is surprisingly amazing and so is the action. But the whole thing is drawn to the soundtrack, which is excellent. Especially the song Saweetie & GALXARA - Sway With Me captures this film. I personally can recommend.

Thanks to its lively wit and playful visual style, Birds of Prey delivers a good bit of escapist entertainment. [9 Oct 2002]
Worth watching for anyone interested in comic-book fantasy with a solemn bent. [8 Oct 2002, p.E1]
But as visually sleek and occasionally funny as Birds of Prey starts out, the show will have to get out from under its tangled premise if it's to divert easily wandering attentions. So far, it's difficult to tell where the series might be headed, but there are hints in the premiere. [9 Oct 2002, p.12C]
The series itself, though it has a stylized look and interesting set design, begins with a lethargic lack of wonder. [9 Oct 2002, p.87]
What is surprising is that the network that turned "Small ville" into a soaring hit has crashed so badly with its second flight of Spandex fancy.
this show had GREAT potential. but studio interference, plus beeing canceled near the episode 10, was a mess trip. also was converted from premiere series to a mini series for the episode 5. tons of problems, like the studio raging mad oracle was batgirl on a wheelchair. demanding she would walk (using a magical future technology that never truly worked)
still, this show has a special place in my heart. its 1000 triliions better than batwoman (2019) and had great acting and casting. the show its a bit messy, with the clear example of oracle, meeting the parents of her boyfriend twice for the first time (one shot regularly other one recycled from the unaired pilot/scrapped episodes) the first reaction is go mad and that she is a strong woman, that if she wanted she is strong enough to kill herself (not cause she wanted just making a point to huntress on an argument she is still a strong woman even if disabled) second time is more like "ow their parents dont like me, i dont wanna date him anymore"
its a good show to watch from time to time. a shame it was not given a proper time to iron out the problems it clearly had.
