Juvenile humour and gratuitous violence

Rating: 3/10 (5 March 2016)

To be fair I've never been a fan of deadpool as a comic character. I find him unoriginal, crass, and tiring. And that's pretty much how his movie turned out. On one of the rare occasions when the wife and I got some time away from our daughter, we decided to see whatever was on at the local cinema. Sadly it was deadpool.
It's not completely terrible, there are some cool visuals, and a few of the jokes hit the mark. it's the jokes though that really drag the movie down. They are just unending, incessantly trying to make you laugh and "shock" you with their "adult" content. But they're just not funny in most instances. The humour is juvenile in the extreme. I find it concerning all these so-called mature reviewers praising the movie for catering to their adult tastes.
Likewise the violence is so over the top it is neither shocking nor effective. It doesn't serve the story in any meaningful way, so it is just there for the 'adult' fans to marvel at all the blood and brain splatter. Overall a pretty disappointing cinema experience, but kind of as expected.
