We walked out of this movie...

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2016)

We went to this film not knowing anything about the Deadpool character, but after seeing the positive reviews this film had received, we thought we would give it a try. We had similarly known little about other Marvel characters (X-Men, Avengers), and since we had enjoyed these other films, we thought Deadpool would be a funny and entertaining experience.
We didn't walk in expecting it to be anything like the former mentioned films, and we knew this was an anti-hero movie. We aren't particularly turned off by violent movies if there's a purpose to the story, but nothing prepared us for this. The constant on-screen assault we experienced was humorless, pointless, convoluted and cringeworthy.
It was after half an hour of constant swearing, graphic violence, smutty innuendo and jokes about cancer before the faint hope that the film would improve disappeared and we walked out.
Don't think for a second you can take your kids to this movie. It isn't anything I'd ever want my kids to see. I'm already dreading the fact that a sequel is apparently in the works. Needless to say, I wont be spending my money.
