Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. (20th Century Fox)

Good, pretty good. It's actually exactly what I wanted to see and what they promised. There were a couple of times I thought it could have been even wilder, but I can understand that a freak like Deadpool still needs to be tamed the first time around. The budget wasn't the highest, nut fortunately they manage to mask it well most of the time. The opening scene is intense and the crappy visual effects do peek out a few times at the end, but by that time you'll like the main character so much you won't care. It's all about Deadpool. He's exactly the kind of likeable asshole who can spout crazy lines, enjoy perversely funny situations and cut his opponents to pieces. Ryan Reynolds and everyone behind the camera clearly enjoy it and understand that if they don't have the resources to make a major league comic book blockbuster, then they should at least enjoy their smaller film and hope that this enthusiasm rubs off on the audience. It worked. There's a lot that could be faulted with Deadpool, but its disarming honesty and joy at being made and being exactly what Reynolds and Tim Miller envisioned it to be will easily win you over in the end. Unless you mind masturbation jokes and an above-average number of severed limbs.

The most refreshing comic-book adaptation of the decade, Deadpool boldly stride against the established safe paths of Marvel, cleverly and with the knowledge of the universe of its origins, not taking itself seriously, yet overshadowing everything that does. Honestly, with the thoughtfully edited (!) and heartfelt dramatic storyline, excellent catchphrases and great, easy-to-follow action sequences. And without the annoying digital bullshit. It is a comic-book adaptation with a smaller budget, but with more heart put into it by its creators. Maybe over time I will increase my rating to five stars, as enthusiasm usually grows with the second viewing.

After I watched the trailer for the first time, I didn’t have much faith in Deadpool. However, the ratings at this site have outright made me go to the cinema to see for myself. The result is that Deadpool did exactly what it was supposed to do. It was a little awkward at the beginning. After half an hour, I didn’t know what to think, but as soon as Deadpool started to crack the one-liners, it was absolutely unparalleled and he kept firing them like bullets. At that moment, I was enjoying every possible and impossible character of this comic universe and I was thinking about whether anyone will even appreciate this movie in 20, maybe 30 years. In the end, it doesn’t even matter, because revenue is getting generated now and it is all-telling at the moment.

Wade wasn't kidding: it's a love story. Thank God. As a shoot-em-up comedy/parody, Deadpool willingly degrades itself with his dozens of pop culture references that threaten to turn it into just instant diarrhea at several points. But it always tightens the screws at the right moment, successfully balancing humor on the edge of the most trivial prepubescent enthusiasm, and everything is fine again. But it wouldn't work without the magical Morena Baccarin. Her first real escape from the world of TV series suits her incredibly well, and while everyone is bowing before the unexpectedly huge financial success of the red madman, especially Ryan Reynolds, I wish her success above all.

My Little Pony: The Love Story Movie... It's not even half as subversive and punk as Kick-Ass. To the extent that it tries to mess with all those comic book blockbusters and Hollywood movie industry, the creators play it surprisingly way too safe since they follow the same rules (rude bloody R-style does not change anything), because Deadpool is nothing more than a completely standard-built comic book origin. But by far the best-built comic book origin in recent years, which works both on the serious level of the path to revenge and, contrary to all expectations, on the romantic level, which is not here only out of duty. And the fact that it's all wrapped up in a meta-conscious style that is constantly teasing the viewer, that is breaking the fourth wall and that is rinsed in streams of blood packed with one-liners is just a tasty icing on the cake. Yes, there is more than a small number of infantile and adolescent "American pie" style scenes that are all the same and that quickly become annoying, but there is so much "funny moments" (or at least attempts of funny moments) in every minute of the footage that in that tsunami, even the weaker ones simply disappears. I would just appreciate something more worthy of Deadpool next time. For example, his personal anger towards Marvel's top managers or something similarly meta and crazy.
