So I finally watched Deadpool.


I didn't see it theaters. Not a fan of the character. Really not a fan of Ryan Reynolds...

So expectations were not high. Even with the hype.

And I did not like the movie.

The humor was like Seth MacFarlane or something. Only less "edgy." So it was lame insults and refrences... Never really clicked with me.

The action was kinda nothing. Could not really get invested in that either...

So what's left? The single lamest romantic comedy ever...

I'm juvenile. I like aggressivly dumb. So in theory an "edgy" action movie that feels like it was written by nine year olds should have been right up my alley... But nope. Almost nothing clicked with me.

Colossus was fun. He bumps my rating up a bit. Also it's refreshing to see a movie that's like 100-105 minutes by the time credits roll... but that really is a *beep* compliment.

4/10

Go watch Kickass instead.

You know what, it was boring, but you know what, it got better the second time.

Now why would you watch a movie again if it bores you?

If I find a movie boring that was appraised by most people, I always give it another shot.

I'm kind of the same way. I find that there are a lot of things which get missed the first time seeing a movie. Some are subtle, some are not. Either way, upon a second viewing you can often get a different feeling for a movie.

As in, I didn't care for Man of Steel when I first saw it. I watched it a second time and my opinion of it went up because of some of the stuff I picked up on the second time around.

Anyway, I liked it well enough. I remember enjoying it in the theater, though I haven't had the desire to watch it again. I was never a big fan of the character in the comics, but he was great in the movie. I got a kick out of Negasonic Teenage Warhead as well as Colossus.

Curious to see what they do with the next one, glad they're keeping the budget low because that makes them concentrate on the writing instead of the effects. I'd have to watch it again because it's been a while now, but I'd probably go 6/10. I agree with you on Kick-Ass being better, though.

I still haven't watched it yet and I haven't had any desire to do so.
