Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Adam One thing that is important to remember is that this is an R rated comedy first and an R rated action movie second with super "hero" syrup all over and inside its crevices.If you weren't a fan of the first one, well I guess it depends why but DP2 probably won't tickle your jimmies. There is all the swearing, brutal violence, blood, dismemberment, jokes, irreverence and meta-references that you would expect. Every scene with a serious tone is completely cut out by jokes, but this is still a bit more of a movie with plot and characters and motivation and all that sort of jazz. Definitely tried a little harder to make more of a narrative than "guy kills dude to save girlfriend".The stakes are really only relevant to those on-screen. Sure, there might be some larger implications if you really think about it, but they're never stated. The implications that are stated are small time, but that makes the stakes personal and better for a plot involving a bunch of selfish characters.Its also nice to have a movie that doesn't take itself seriously in a time where most blockbusters with ridiculous premises are also trying to be like "BUT THIS IS REAL LIFE!"Its more of what was successful. The same dish, but they just changed the presentation. That isn't a bad thing.
everythingartm The movie was predictable and I'm confused as to why people love this so much. The comedy was cringey and cheesy, the ending was uninteresting, the only things I liked were the action scenes, since I love gore. People praise this movie for being violent and sexy, but that's just it. There's not much more. I did enjoy the movie, mostly the side characters and they did a good job of making the villain hateable (in a good way) but I have to say I was expecting a bit more. It was a good movie, just not a great one, and definitely overrated.
puuoor I'd like rude style of speaking of this hell guy. It's great and make everyone cool.
MovieManChuck 3.5/4The X-Men universe needed a fun superhero movie... After 6 X-Men movies focused on a hardened Magneto and a deliberate Charles Xavier, Deadpool was the least the franchise could do to keep your attention for another movie. It simultaneously provided Ryan Reynolds with his first good role as a comic-book character.Deadpool is the unlikely hero who'd defy all of the pre-set "hero" stereotypes: He can get the job done, but still chooses to carry himself like a kid. He's a good person at heart, but has an arsenal of R-rated humor to dispense at a moments notice. At the same time, he can present a more mature, dark theme and take himself seriously.What makes Deadpool great is his flexibility as a character. Whenever the movie takes a carefree or silly turn, it doesn't saturate the more intense, emotionally driven sequences (and vice versa). Deadpool truly has a plot, an issue, and a resolution. However, it's not scared to take you on too fun a ride replete with comic-book violence and profanity-laced hilarity.I am thoroughly pleased with Deadpool, as it showed that even the most morally-flexible of us can be a hero in our own right. He doesn't settle for light-hearted or heavy-handed, and he knows how to please the crowds...
