Based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. 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)

Aside from a certain mono-theme that gets tiresome by the end, what I actually find most frustrating about it is that Deadpool is only childish but rarely really smart. I'd have liked a few more action-planning sketches, but also more questions about whether the studio really doesn't have the rights to more mutants. It reminded me a lot of Kick-Ass 2. I raise my middle finger seven times out of ten.

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.

Watching Deadpool is a bit like walking around Wenceslas Square with a drunken friend who goes to the middle of the sidewalk and starts pissing. Every ten seconds he screams: I GOT MY DICK IN MY HAND!, which is quite funny at first, but then it becomes a little predictable and tiring. Deadpool is unique not in that he is so different from other superheroes, but in that he constantly thematizes the difference and hits the audience over the head with it. Otherwise, he’s just as transparent as Captain America, only where the captain behaves like Dušín, Deadpool will necessarily always behave like a dick. It is simply a model return of the suppressed. Marvel has pushed the violence, vulgarity and sex out of its films for so long that there was enough material for Deadpool to fill all the holes (fists) in an exemplary manner. It works as fan service and lubricant for the next X-Men films, where there will definitely not be any cursing or masturbation. And the same goes for the entire Marvel Universe, whoever is behind it. Don't get me wrong - the one-liners are great, the action is great. But beneath the surface of the jokes toward correctness and masturbation, at its core is exactly the same barren romantic story with a bad villain (Ed Skrein = lame), as in the case of many other comic films. Deadpool earns money by pointing out its weaknesses, but the result is not as fun and cohesive a spectacle as The Guardians of the Galaxy, but rather a confusingly zigzagging mix that masks its weaknesses with pubertal excesses. From my point of view, it doesn't work as a movie, but rather as a fanboy mix of gags with a variable level. As the runtime grows, so does the feeling that the film is on auto pilot and there is one good gag for every three average ones. OK, it’s fine, but the magic of Kick-Ass doesn't happen again, because Vaughn can pee against the wind without stressing to you a hundred times that he's holding his dick in his hand, and that is something that’s not supposed to be done. Too bad I'm not 20 years younger. As my colleague Samohan Řepák rightly remarked: it could have been the best film I had ever seen. In the tradition of Czech film, I have to rename this to a SUPERHERO FILM. [60%]

It's a good movie. Cool plot, nice narration, good fights, some good lines. Can't say I was laughing my ass off though. And I'm a little disappointed because that's what I was expecting. On the other hand, I got an original love story that wasn't that romantic, but still had something to it. 3.5 stars.

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.
