Cheesy visual effect-centric flick

Rating: 5/10 (2 April 2016)

If you like simple and rude humor, lots of violence and CGI explosions, this movie might be a good choice for you. But if you like anything beyond that, this movie is nothing. It claims to be original and something different from a typical superhero movie, but in fact it's plain and mediocre. The only originality is that the main character, Deadpool, is a rude person with a foul sense of humor. So what? Does it affect the story in any sense? No. Are there any interesting events emerging from these traits of our superhero? Not one. He might have as well been as dull as a Superman. And I don't find Deadpool's sort of humor particularly sparkling. For the most part, it's just dirty commentary on what happens on the screen. Besides, you don't need to see this movie more than once for any reason: everything is plain, no mystery, no twist, no hidden meaning. Why do I give it a 5 then? It is entertaining: no slowing down of action. It's visually sufficiently pleasant (but nothing out of the ordinary). Dialog is not particularly smart, but it maintains a certain level without dropping too low. And of course, Morena Baccarin is gorgeous, especially naked. All in all, it's a solid professional work. But no masterpiece, for certain.
