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. (16/02/2016)

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)

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. (04/03/2016)

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)

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)
