Fun comic book movie

Rating: 7/10 (25 February 2017)

What I appreciated about this movie is that it manages to be such a fun comic book adaption as well as gleefully earning its R rating. The violence and language enhanced the tone which I would describe as a giggling middle schooler getting away with something. I didn't think it had the depth that some reviewers seemed to attribute to it--I think the love story was more important for some than others. I thought the fact that Deadpool didn't call his girlfriend and tell her he was alive was frustrating. I kind of liked Colossus, but he looked a little too CGI. I'm not sure where I stand with Ryan Reynolds' performance. He might have been the perfect person to play Deadpool, but something about him was slightly annoying. Not much else to say, except that I will be looking forward to the sequel.
