“Good” is not the enemy of perfect, but Warner Bros. and DC Films’ Birds of Prey is very, very good. For much of the first half, Birds of Prey is the Harley and Dinah movie, both together and in separate adventures that eventually collide. This is another outside-the-box artistic win for DC Films, breaking their curse of troubled ensemble films (Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad and Justice League) while not punishing or turning off anyone who enjoyed those flicks. No spoilers, but the most disturbing bloodshed comes right near the beginning, and 99% of the violence is action movie carnage (with action movie profanity). In terms of artistic potential, DC Films and Marvel are now on relatively equal footing.
