Wow! Such a good movie.

Sorry, this movie sucks

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It just saddens me that this film is so highly rated. There were parts of it I enjoyed but not that many. The tie-in with the X-men world worked for a while because of deadpool's looser sense of ethics, and the reduced circumstances of his - and the kid's incarceration in mutant prison almost makes him vulnerable enough to care about, but none of that lasts, and for the majority - and after those events - remainder of the film, we find ourselves in the presence of someone who not only won't die, but - and of course it is his trade-mark - won't shut up. All superheroes are effectively immortal, but there is something about deadpool's unkillability that really destroys any tension in this movie, and unfortunately it is all done quite deliberately. In most superhero movies we know that that the (super)hero must survive but somehow also worry about them. With deadpool though everything is an in-joke, and that includes the fact that superheroes - deadpool at least - are indestructable, and the movie plays with that endlessly. There is at least one funny scene that arises out of this (consequent to his meeting the monster in the prison basement) but for the most part it simply means we don't care about what happens in the way that we normally would and since the writers appear to anticipate this we are treated instead to endless knowing jokes about his desire to die. The intention seems to be to try to make deadpool into some kind of existentially tragic figure - but unlike say groundhog day, where unkillability becomes a metaphor for sameness of every day, the writers completely fail in this respect. Deadpool's loss (of a loved one) and motivation never seem real, and when he somehow finds a mission in the redemption of one of the characters in the movie it just doesn't seem like something he'd actually do. There's also the politics of the film. Leaving aside the PC aspect (which is pretty much universal these days) there's also something disturbing about the hate figures in the film. The people who run the 'ophanage' in the fim are thinly disguised religious bigots, and not only the main 'preacher' like head of the institution but all of its staff - who are likened to paedo philes - are simply despatched as token 'haters'. Given the controversies surrounding some of the people who made the x-men films themselves there is something slightly ironic about this - people who live in glass cages shouldn't ....etc.. That's not to say the mutant hating bigots aren't to be faulted, but that we shoiuld perhaps be a little wary about taking our morality from anything as ethically warped as deadpool, a man who though he can't be killed or effectively injured despatches legions of bad guys more in offence than defence, and typically in nasty and fundamentally unfair ways. In fact at times, particularly at the beginning, deadpool as a superhero feels like the cinematic version of shooting, stabbing, hacking and decapitating fish in a barrel. I just find everything about this film immature and fake. However it probably does know its audience, who from the ratings would appear to like being force fed dubious easter eggs, not to mention hollywood politics and morality. In truth I'm probably just too old for this kind of film, but at the same time I kind of feel so should anyone older than a teenager

I won't say the movie is bad because it isn't. It's just great until a certain point, then it starts to be repetitive and at the last third is absolutely totally crap. If you can get away with the second half you will probably think it's a very good movie, but it's not consistent. This kid, Julian Dennison, he absolutely ruined the movie. I don't know what was up at he casting but he just ruins everything little thing, he is terrible as an actor and looks too apathic here. Why do they even have to do that much close ups on his face when he is that bad? The overall plot is ok to bad, at the second half its plain bad writing that forces tagging people as pedos to justify the massacre of civils. I'm not being politically correct here, they didn't have to do it, they did and did it very poorly. Even the characters motivations feel shallow at the ending, it feels rushed. The boy plot is meeh and you just can't feel nothing for the boy because he is so bad. Also, the final third is just forced meta. The jokes don't work anymore, too much repetitive, they over use the meta to try to cancel the bad writing by saying it is bad. The action it's very good, Leitch it's top notch at it and he did deliver even in a over the top movie like DP. The action is bad, at some point you just don't want to look at their faces anymore. Reynolds and the girl are the only acceptable characthers, the others get boring too fast and they don't work. And I'm not even talking about the boy, his whole thing, plot and terrible acting, ruined a movie that could be very good.It's not a bad movie, it's just not balanced. Some things work very very well and others are so bad that have negative impact on the good things.The movie works much better that the genre average at it's core elements, the action it's good, the jokes work until certain point and etc.Some people will overlook the bad aspects and say it's a great movie, you might be this person or not.

Two hours of poor plot, bad jokes, unnecessary profanity and verbal filth. I'm the first to watch a comedy but this seems like it's aimed at 15 year old boys who find immature jokes amusing. I think I had a chuckle twice in the entire movie in amongst wondering what the hell was going on. Probably one of the poorest Marvel movies I've seen. The original was never a great movie but it was OK. This is just rubbish. Gets 3 stars for a few decent action scenes and good effects.

Lots of 1 point reviews here. People get so dramatic over movies these days... "Oh my god the worst 2 hours of my life!" It most definitely wasn't. OK, it's probably not on the same level as the first Deadpool movie, but it's still enjoyable. Deadpool is more annoying this time for sure, and there's a rapid fire of hit and miss jokes. Maybe less would be more, but at least you can tell that a lot more effort was put into this movie than into other recent comedies. As for the plot, I wasn't really into it, but the characters' personalities still made the movie enjoyable for me. If this is the worst thing you've seen, consider yourself very lucky.
