Too pretentious, too busy, too much RR

Rating: 4/10 (13 October 2016)

I'll admit. I may be biased because I can NOT stand Ryan Reynolds. I don't know who thought that he would ever be a good actor. There are a number of "actors" who have no sense of characterization. They are the same in every single movie. RR is always dishing out the same poorly delivered attempt at dead-pan sarcasm. One film....OK. Two films...get a clue. Third film and casting personnel should be fired for even considering one-trick-pony "talent." I should have known better going into this, but I wanted to give it a fair shot. As expected, his "acting" got old in the first five minutes.
As for the movie itself.... The plot was acceptable. I like the idea of a rogue lab. However, the storytelling is completely disrupted by the constant stream of flashback sequences. It's as if they did it intentionally in an attempt to set a Guinness record. RR's narration and incessant "breaking the 4th wall" is just annoying. And the subplot of bringing in the two X Men is too weak to even be considered "contrived." I have no desire to revisit this title.
