I have to say that I gave a 9/10 to the Film..
I didnt like Cassandra Cain in the movie, but the rest was awesome.
There were really funny moments, I LOVED Harleys and Black Masks Look and I really loved the moments when the villains attacked Harley and she clarified why they are attacking her.
I see it as stand-alone Film like Joker, because it is different to other DC Films and more like Deadpool.
But from the new DC Universe Films alone it is my favorite together with MoS, BvS and Joker.
Cass's portrayal is the only thing that is straight up wrong. In the context of the film, the kid character is fine she should have just been called something else.
Everything else has some basis in the source material, and the lack of comic accurate costumes or Babs aren't significant hurdles that a hypothetical sequel couldn't work around. Which we unfortunately aren't likely to get, but at least this film doesn't have Harley sticking with the team once they become the BoP.
It was also the only time I've ever found Zsasz or Black Mask interesting. They are otherwise useless characters.
Surprisingly most of my gripes didn't really have anything to do with the source material. The nod to Canary's mother was nice, Montoya was a quasi-frustrated cop and lesbian, Huntress had Helena Bertinelli's backstory, Black Mask was Black Mask and Zsasz was Zsaz.
Cassandra was pretty much the only part I didn't care for. Otherwise really enjoyed it.

Hey, I think mute Batgirl is useless but to each their own
How was the movies Montoya a lesbian? Black Mask and Zsasz aren't a couple or even bros but I really dug it. My impression... Roman seemingly was written like Leto's Joker and Mc Gregor pulled it off but that wasn't Black Mask it was Leto's Joker
