Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Zazie Beetz, Josh Brolin, David Leitch, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Brianna Hildeban, T.J. Miller, Leslie Uggams, Kara Soni, Ed Skrein, Gina Caran, Lewis Tan and others.


Synopsis: Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is a former Special Forces operative who now works as a mercenary. His world comes crashing down when evil scientist Ajax (Ed Skrein) tortures, disfigures and transforms him into Deadpool. The rogue experiment leaves Deadpool with accelerated healing powers and a twisted sense of humor. With help from mutant allies Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Deadpool uses his new skills to hunt down the man who nearly destroyed his life.


 

My Review: As a reviewer, I give my most honest and respectful opinion, so here it goes. When you're a fan of a certain actor or actress, you always want to watch their work in different roles offering your support, right? Well, not in this case. Ryan Reynolds isn't among my favorite crowd of actors, but I do find him somewhat humorous but...Deadpool wasn't humorous for me. NOT...AT...ALL!


The story follows Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds); a hitman for hire being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. That's not something you wish to find out, especially when starting plans with your loved ones. Feeling depressed, Wade's introduced to the man in the black suit (I wonder if he belonged to the Men in Black organization? Wouldn't be the first time characters cross over) who presented him an offer to heal Wade's cancer and become something more. Well, the something more turned out to be something more, alright! A big something more! Wanting a life with Vanessa (Morenna Baccarin) he accepts the offer, only to regret it later on. He's taken to an underground off-the books bunker where he undergoes an experiment that indeed healed his cancer but proved to have side-effects. Dr. Francis; the pain stricken cocky Brit (apparently a mutan) turned Wade into a scarred "V for Vendetta" character while offering incredible and unrealistic healing abilities, but if so, why couldn't he heal his exterior skin? That wasn't well thought out and the fact DP is able to regenerate severed limbs was on an entirely different level of mutation; especially when he was cut in half in Deadpool 2. That was fracked up, I mean come on! Well, DP got his revenge against Dr. Francis and that's the end of Deadpool 1 after Wade gets the girl back.


Now, Deadpool 2 continues with Wade and Vanessa wanting to start a family; the only good thing DP had going for him. Everyone deserves happiness. It was sad watching that taken from Wade 😔Now, on a quest for death he gets caught up in the X-men universe (of which was completely invisible during the film) and protecting an Australian boy (that I thought was an overweight girl, sorry) possessing the power of pyrokinesis...apparently 🔥


Now, let's fast forward a little here ⏩ then push play ▶️ and take a sigh 😌


DP recruits a team (a team that involved a Skarsgard brother and Into the Badlands star, die ASAP after recruitment in the worst ways possible) to help him rescue the boy from a time traveler (Josh Brolin). Oh, did I forget to mention that? Yeah, well...that's part of the nonsensical and unexplained stuff about this film. Long story short after DP grew his lower torso back (after being severed in half, remember I mentioned that) they save the boys' future becoming a happy family that not's an F word. I couldn't get that? But, whatever.


The film had NO real plot or complete story structure and for Stan Lee's work? I'm surprised. It was nothing more than mishmash thrown together creating loads of crap and the script? Seriously, wtf!? Nothing but gay innuendos and implications and if they were meant to be funny? Well, I certainly didn't find them as such. They were disgusting, to be honest. The constant digs and references to other films was overdone as well. I mean, it's okay to make an occasional reference (because I've done that for my books to make a point) but enough is enough. The fight sequences were on an average level with nothing new or exciting. Deadpool honestly, was just a red spandex wearing idiot making unnecessary puns that had no flow or natural humor.



Anyway, my rating of DEADPOOL 1 & 2 is dead

2 ⭐⭐ so please, no more DP films! Sorry, Ryan. But if it continues, becoming part of Marvel's universe, well...I won't be a fan or viewer. I'll allow others to watch this nonsensical idiocy which seems to be the new crave today.
