Review of Deadpool

Deadpool (2016)
1/10
Finally an R-rated comicbook movie and they make it this lame
22 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I was really looking forward to Deadpool as I'm a Ryan Reynolds fan and it's rated R.

However the humor is toilet humor. It's about farts, jerking off and comments about actors, including Reynolds himself and other movies.

The plot is that Wade Wilson gets terminal cancer and in order to save his life he agrees to undergo an experiment that will give him the power to heal. However Ajax, the man that turn people into mutants and sometimes just kill them, can't be trusted. And Ajax, who is the villain is played by the awful Ed Skrein from the awful reboot of Transporter. Ajax tortures Wade and the lab explodes (I can't remember why) and Wade has become scarred and takes the new identity as Deadpool. He starts to kill a lot of people looking for Ajax. But even though the movie is rated R, some scenes where he tortures badguys are actually not shown. Ajax in a desperate attempt to stop Wade kidnaps Wades boney girlfriend and Wade has to get help from the two most annoying X-men characters I have ever seen. Some lesbian looking teenage girl with a shaved head and a cgi-Russian guy made out of metal.

The violence is awesome and a welcome change from the bloodless Marvel violence. However all the violence can be seen in the red band trailer and the rest is crap. So if you've seen the trailer, I recommend not watching the movie as you will be really disappointed.

Bringing X-men into the movie is annoying as hell as I've always hated the X-men. And Wade talking to the camera gets really annoying after a while.

On top of that the action itself is disappointing as this is clearly a low budget movie.

Avoid this and watch the first Kickass movie (not the second one!!!) if you like violent superhero movies.
