An average laugh of a movie

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2018)

After being brutally separated from his girlfriend with whom he wanted to form a family, Deadpool seeks to fulfill a riddle of hers. Thus he's determined to help a young mutant who is threatened by a powerful character from the future.
It's a movie with a good and apparently emotional premise which follows Deadpool in an attempt at redemption. Due to his flamboyant character, he ends up in a lot of trouble but his new team will be there to help him out whenever he needs.
As you might expect, this movie is a joke and thus it should be treated as such. It's full of puns, jokes and references to other movies, characters and so on. It tries so much to be laughable that it somehow manages not to be as intended. Yes, it is funny but you won't get to laugh out loud or anything like that. It seems forced and this alters the overall experience.
From my point of view, a good superhero movie needs to be serious in order to be good. It has to transmit emotion to the viewer, it has to be consistent in its decisions, it has to have likeable characters, ones for which the viewer to care about. Unfortunately, you don't get any of these with this movie. Just when you think you'll see something even remotely breathtaking, you're slammed by a misplaced joke which is not even funny enough to make it worth the turnover.
It is an average movie as far as I'm concerned, with good special effects, but with average characters, an average plot, full of jokes which try too much to make it funny which end up failing. I'm not saying that it's a bad movie and I knew from the beginning what I was going to see, but unfortunately it failed to change my opinion regarding superhero movies, proving that going all out funny isn't always the right way to go.
