Deadpool

For me, a bit mixed feelings. In terms of humour and entertainment, Deadpool delivers exactly what it promised, but the action is unfortunately average and not much to look forward to. Not only is the lower budget quite evident in places, but the cinematography is so chaotic that newcomer Tim Miller could shake hands with Olivier Megaton. The fast editing simply spoils the impression and is so bad that one doesn't even notice the blood properly, which I consider a big drawback. The villain is mediocre, but that's classic Marvel stuff. I was also slightly annoyed by the frequent flashbacks. I liked the seductive Morena Baccarin and the many references to all sorts of movies whether it's the X-men franchise, or even Taken or Blade. The stylish opening credits and an unusual meet-and-greet scene are also a delight:) I don't know if I wasn't in the right frame of mind, but I didn't feel the right excitement and adrenaline rush that I usually experience with movies like this, but I'll give Deadpool another chance. It's worth going to the cinema, but if you've watched the trailer more than twice, you won't be surprised by too many things in the film. Something above 70% (11/02/2016)

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. (19/02/2016)

“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.

The most refreshing comic-book adaptation of the decade, Deadpool boldly stride against the established safe paths of Marvel, cleverly and with the knowledge of the universe of its origins, not taking itself seriously, yet overshadowing everything that does. Honestly, with the thoughtfully edited (!) and heartfelt dramatic storyline, excellent catchphrases and great, easy-to-follow action sequences. And without the annoying digital bullshit. It is a comic-book adaptation with a smaller budget, but with more heart put into it by its creators. Maybe over time I will increase my rating to five stars, as enthusiasm usually grows with the second viewing. (09/08/2016)

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. (18/02/2016)
