For me, a bit mixed feelings. In terms of humour and entertainment, Deadpool delivers exactly what it promised, but the action is unfortunately average and not much to look forward to. Not only is the lower budget quite evident in places, but the cinematography is so chaotic that newcomer Tim Miller could shake hands with Olivier Megaton. The fast editing simply spoils the impression and is so bad that one doesn't even notice the blood properly, which I consider a big drawback. The villain is mediocre, but that's classic Marvel stuff. I was also slightly annoyed by the frequent flashbacks. I liked the seductive Morena Baccarin and the many references to all sorts of movies whether it's the X-men franchise, or even Taken or Blade. The stylish opening credits and an unusual meet-and-greet scene are also a delight:) I don't know if I wasn't in the right frame of mind, but I didn't feel the right excitement and adrenaline rush that I usually experience with movies like this, but I'll give Deadpool another chance. It's worth going to the cinema, but if you've watched the trailer more than twice, you won't be surprised by too many things in the film. Something above 70%

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.

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.

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.
