People talked a lot about this movie with many claiming it was one of the best comic book films ever to grace the screen but I saw a movie that was trying to be as funny as “Guardians of the Galaxy” while simultaneously being as disturbing as “V For Vendetta” and it can’t have it both ways.

After the character’s disastrous appearance in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, Deadpool finally gets his own film with Ryan Reynolds (“The Proposal”) returning to play the fast-talking anti-hero. Deadpool sets out on a mission of vengeance to kill the man responsible for making him what he is but you have to sit through tons of flashbacks and non-stop fourth wall jokes.

Ryan Reynolds of course played the same character in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” but many felt the character was given too little screen time and not a lot to do. After seeing the Deadpool character in the way he was ‘meant to be’, I’m not impressed; this is just an irritating and violent misfit with a huge ego and an even bigger mouth. The villain in the movie is arguably the worst villain I’ve ever seen in a comic book movie, some guy called ‘Francis’, who dons no costume and has no personality.

I won’t lie, some of the action sequences are amusingly over the top and some of the jokes do work but so much of it is unnecessarily crude (one of the sex scenes is absolutely disgusting) and match that with some dark and depressing torture scenes, you have a film that seems confused about what it wants to be. “Deadpool” seems as if it merely exists to break every rule in the superhero movie book but some of those rules are there for a reason yet the makers of “Deadpool” seem to be blind to that fact.
