Deadpool = big disappointment & too much hype

Rating: 3/10 (23 February 2016)

Guess I was suckered by all the super-slick promotional hype pushed onto social media by the studio. The movie really fails to provide anything more than what is in the trailers. It left me feeling I wasted my time and money. Even if it went straight to DVD, I don't know if it would be a worthwhile watch. Deadpool does not provide any kind of character development. Even the comic book offered more. The movie characters are flat and two-dimensional. Often using strained dialog and weak humor to explain major characteristics of the characters' personae. They should have stuck with the video game. Do yourself a favor. Watch the trailer a couple times and save your time and money. It is becoming apparent that the studios have a very good understanding of what kind of hype and promotion it takes to get audiences to open their wallets. Even if they leave disappointed.
