A Deadly ComboThe concept of a self-conscious super hero movie was a good thought. Sadly, the execution wasn't there. It's disappointing.
It was a good thought to make an adult-themed Marvel movie, but I think they went too aggressive with it. There were some good aspects, but it doesn't make up for the amount of aggressively bad moments of the movie. This was trying to be a comedy but it wasn't funny most of the time. When you have a comedy that isn't funny, most of the time you are left with next to nothing of substance. This is the case with Deadpool. If I wanted to watch a funny superhero movie I'd go with Guardians of The Galaxy, Ant-Man, or better yet, Thor: Ragnarok. I think Marvel was trying to hide the fact that this was a Marvel movie because they thought it would draw in the people who don't care about superhero movies. Well, this is still a superhero movie. Another problem I had with Deadpool was the lack of a fully fleshed out villain. Deadpool spends the entire movie searching for this guy who can make him look normal (this is the same person who saved his life and gave him super powers). It just turned the movie into a dude with questionable moral values chasing after a scientist who also had questionable morals. I see what they were trying to do with this, but I don't think it works well when building an engaging story. I can only imagine what went through the minds of the writers of the script. "Maybe we should make a superhero movie, but instead of writing likeable characters that at least make an attempt at doing the right thing, we just make the protagonist crack a joke every 5 seconds while he hunts down a plastic surgeon. As an added bonus, we can just write a bunch of static characters who change in no way throughout the movie." I don't like this movie. This is Guardians of the Galaxy done wrong. 3/10
