Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, who was the only great thing about "Suicide Squad," shines as MVP in "Birds of Prey" as well. This time, however, she's in a movie that's good enough for her.

While the DCEU has been on the upswing lately, the stand-alone Harley Quinn/introduction of the Birds of Prey seems more like it's spinning its wheels.
