Horribly scripted, horribly directed....

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2016)

I was a Deadpool fan who enjoyed reading the Joe Kelly run of Deadpool comics and I knew right off that this was going to be one of those "leave your brain at the entrance" stupid-type brainless movies. I don't mind such movies as long as they are enjoyable enough, but this movie's stupidity level is so high, I couldn't bring myself to enjoy it much.
The script is so horrible I stopped listening at various points throughout the movie because I couldn't stand how stupid some of the lines are. Here are some examples "You don't have to be a superhero to get the girl, you just need the girl to bring the hero out in you." My reaction: Geez, Mr. Pool. You sound like a 13 year old hardcore superhero comic book collecting nerd who thinks superheroes are the be all, end all and have just noticed girls for the first time in your life.
"Did I say that this is a love story? I did, huh? Well, it's not. It's a horror movie." And I'm like, Wow , you just reminded me of my 6 year old niece who couldn't decide what the creature in her drawing was, if it is a cat or a mouse.
Some of you may say that is Deadpool's character, he is crazy and stupid, but not this stupid and no, his best characterizations doesn't contain the immaturity that is so on display in this movie. Also, in this movie, I don't really find him witty at all, and witty is part of Deadpool's character.
Ryan Reynolds does fit the role of Deadpool well enough, but he didn't do a very good job of it. This is due to the horrible script, horrible direction, as such, I don't really blame him. Like when he gets angry and kicks the door and says "f**k" several times. You don't feel any of his anger at all, he's more like a one of those pukes who says "f**k" all the time and who's not really angry and is just throwing a fake tantrum to seek attention.
I hate that this movie does such a hard job of trying to constantly reminding you that this is a superhero movie, what with the green lantern, wolverine/hugh jackman, x-men jokes, even worse, bringing in two x-men characters who fight with their flashy costumes (complete with prominent 'X' logo) and and their flashy CG super powers. If I want to watch a flashy superhero movie or movie with x- men characters, I'll watch a flashy superhero movie or X-men movie.
And I hate the superhero origin story (AGAIN!!!!). This one is done in media res, you see Deadpool in a big action scene first and then flashback back to his origin. I've seen almost every single superhero movie and this might be the first time (or few times) it's done this way. I can imagine the script meeting going something like this: "No, we must have a superhero origin story. MUST. It's gonna flop if it don't. I know it's in a million other superhero movies, people are sick of them, but still... So do any of you bright folks have any ideas?" "I do." "Yes?" "How about we do it in media res?" "Wow, genius!! Freaking genius! Let's do it." Well, I hated it, and couldn't wait for the boringly executed origin story to be over and get back to the action scene that we were in the middle of before. This movie gave me such a huge case of superhero fatigue that I finally completely understood what Emma Thompson said when she said she loves Spider-Man and all, but she was gonna shoot herself or something if she sees another Spider- Man movie. Of all the superhero movies to make me feel this way, it just had to be Deadpool.
The best part of this movie is related to a superhero joke though, about the ridiculous "rule" that superheroes can never ever kill, no matter what. I find this "rule" so inane and cannot believe it when fans actually really flip out when this "rule" is broken (cough*man of steel*cough). It's almost as bad as when playstation and xbox fans troll each other...
I wish I could erase my memory of this Deadpool movie to get rid of superhero movie fatigue because Batman V Superman is coming up next and no matter how good that is, I going to be reminded of it and feel it. Sighs...
