Deadpool

My Little Pony: The Love Story Movie... It's not even half as subversive and punk as Kick-Ass. To the extent that it tries to mess with all those comic book blockbusters and Hollywood movie industry, the creators play it surprisingly way too safe since they follow the same rules (rude bloody R-style does not change anything), because Deadpool is nothing more than a completely standard-built comic book origin. But by far the best-built comic book origin in recent years, which works both on the serious level of the path to revenge and, contrary to all expectations, on the romantic level, which is not here only out of duty. And the fact that it's all wrapped up in a meta-conscious style that is constantly teasing the viewer, that is breaking the fourth wall and that is rinsed in streams of blood packed with one-liners is just a tasty icing on the cake. Yes, there is more than a small number of infantile and adolescent "American pie" style scenes that are all the same and that quickly become annoying, but there is so much "funny moments" (or at least attempts of funny moments) in every minute of the footage that in that tsunami, even the weaker ones simply disappears. I would just appreciate something more worthy of Deadpool next time. For example, his personal anger towards Marvel's top managers or something similarly meta and crazy. (02/16/2016)

Aside from a certain mono-theme that gets tiresome by the end, what I actually find most frustrating about it is that Deadpool is only childish but rarely really smart. I'd have liked a few more action-planning sketches, but also more questions about whether the studio really doesn't have the rights to more mutants. It reminded me a lot of Kick-Ass 2. I raise my middle finger seven times out of ten. (03/04/2016)

It's a good movie. Cool plot, nice narration, good fights, some good lines. Can't say I was laughing my ass off though. And I'm a little disappointed because that's what I was expecting. On the other hand, I got an original love story that wasn't that romantic, but still had something to it. 3.5 stars. (02/19/2016)

After I watched the trailer for the first time, I didn’t have much faith in Deadpool. However, the ratings at this site have outright made me go to the cinema to see for myself. The result is that Deadpool did exactly what it was supposed to do. It was a little awkward at the beginning. After half an hour, I didn’t know what to think, but as soon as Deadpool started to crack the one-liners, it was absolutely unparalleled and he kept firing them like bullets. At that moment, I was enjoying every possible and impossible character of this comic universe and I was thinking about whether anyone will even appreciate this movie in 20, maybe 30 years. In the end, it doesn’t even matter, because revenue is getting generated now and it is all-telling at the moment. (02/18/2016)

“I'm too old for this shit.” Like the comic book, the film version of Deadpool is a victory for the marketing and corporate machinery that cynically passes itself off as a cool, non-conformist and rebellious work of outsiders. Significant credit for this is due to the enduring myth of the R-rating category (M, in the case of comic books) as a putative mark of radicalism and defiance of censorship. Is it actually a measure of quality if a few profanities and some drops of blood appear in a film? The fact that Deadpool became a major blockbuster only serves to confirms the uniformity of the mainstream of the new millennium. In the eighties or nineties, it would be only one of the dozens of films with cheeky catchphrases and a few action scenes that competed monthly on the shelves of video rental shops for the attention of teenagers and children.
