Helps if you're familiar with X-Men genre...

Rating: 4/10 (5 March 2017)

Admittedly it wasn't until my fifth attempt that I was able to make it past the first 10 minutes of this movie. But hearing how some people absolutely LOVED this film, I knew I wanted to give it another go. After the credits rolled, I understood why I had such an issue with it and why some folks were incredibly devoted. If you're unfamiliar with Stan Lee's Marvel X-Men franchise, most of the inside jokes will be lost on you.
Putting that aside, the special effects were incredible, as was the sound mixing. But not knowing X-Men characters or previous plot-lines definitely put me at a disadvantage. As well, I did find a lot of the dialogue and double-entendres off-putting and incredibly crude. It's obvious how this movie was geared to a specific younger demographic and not as a general public offering.
For the couple of jokes I did find humorous, and the very well done sound/special effects, I'm giving 'Deadpool' 4* out of 10.
