The humor is equally as clever as the plot. The only drawback is the music. The songs are perfunctory, distracting fromSmallfoot’s brilliance....

Suicide Squad Review: DC's Super Villains Are Good, But Not Great

A little over a year ago,Warner Bros.unveiled the first trailer forSuicide Squadright alongside a nearly four minute trailer forBatman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.
