SCORE: A
This review is very late and will not be as long as it should be, seeing as I've been a fan of the Deadpool character since about 1990, when he showed up in X-Force #2 (yes, his first appearance was in New Mutants. Thanks. But I first saw him in X-Force back when it was good).
I saw this film back in March.
It is a wonderfully dark comedy, much as the Deadpool comics became while they were written by Joe Kelly back in the early 2000s. I thought that everything about it was done well... except for the pathos of Wade Wilson himself and his girlfriend Vanessa.
With all the humor made in this film about death and destruction (and films like this, such as Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill), it's hard to feel much pathos for Wade when he gets cancer and things start falling apart for him.
