Sort of a cross between CATWOMAN and FERRIS BUELLER"S DAY OFF.

Rating: 7/10 (13 February 2016)

By that, I mean that the plot (mad scientist moonlighting as merchant of death ultimately kidnaps Catherine Bell look-alike doubling as love interest of anti-hero) exists only as a means of thinly justifying all the action sequences. On the other hand, the Thornton Wilder-style breakings of the Fourth Wall do allow Ryan Reynolds to take some well- deserved pot shots at Time-Warner with regard to GREEN LANTERN.
Furthermore, the almost-touching scene where Wade walks out on Vanessa, in order to take advantage of Ajax's "cancer cure treatment," leads to a bit of scenery-chewing by the British guy playing the latter that--quite frankly--almost literally put me to sleep!
That being said, however, I still enjoyed this film a lot more than the prequel I shall always (without hesitation...or apology) refer to as X- MEN: LOW CLASS. Especially the debut of Negasonic Teenage Warhead!
I'm hoping she's a revamped version of Boom-Boom from the comics.
