David Leitch from John Wick ruined this movie

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2018)

I already pre-ordered my tickets and would have backed out had I realized who was directing this movie. David Leitch is on my blacklist because he is, plain and simple, a hack director. I know Chad Stahelski co-directed John Wick with him, but given that 2 was better without Leitch and Atomic Blonde was terrible with just him, I'm going to guess he's the guy to blame.
The word was this movie was a mess when shown to test audiences and subjected to reshoots. I can see how it was a lot worse before the reshoots. Deadpool is a shadow of his former self. He's way too serious, the plot is way too serious, he actually cares about people. Some scenes go on way too long to the point where you're just like, ok, we get it, move on.
Worst of all, Deadpool is simply upstaged by everyone in the film. Zazie Beatz and Josh Brolin were fantastic, as was the New Zealand kid playing Russell. Juggernaut was amazing and left me wanting more, definitely did the character justice. It definitely made the movie worth it just to see him.
Hopefully the movie gets a better director next time and recovers from this mistake.
