Movie review - "Birds of Prey" (2020) ****

 Really fun. Bright. Wonderful tone. Good actors. Margot Robbie a solid lead, Ewen McGregor and Chris Messina having the time of their lives as villain. Funny moments.  Great production design.

Took too long to get going - the story doesn't start until 40 minutes in. Didn't need all that set up.  It's actually a simple story about trying to get a diamond. It didn't need the rest.

Also didn't need to be R. Why? A key character is a 12 year old girl (or some age like that). Why not let them go see it. A few trims of language and blood and surely they would have been fine and this would have made that much more. I'm Monday morning quarterbacking now.
