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)

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.

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.

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.

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%
