Probably in the last week of it showing on the big screen, I saw this year’s summer hit. Not that it was very high up on my list after having watched a Deadpool and a Wolverine film, but it was the least uninteresting film playing when I had some time to kill.
With the typical (and fairly boring) adolescent humour, we follow Deadpool, who needs to find the dead Wolverine in order to save his timeline.
The film contains many references to other movies, ‘Hollywood culture’, the competition and some of these jokes are actually somewhat amusing. Also, as the story goes on, we run into other Marvel characters. Not the Avengers that Deadpool wants to join, but characters like Blade or Elektra.
The film contains a lot of bloody fighting scenes and bad language. I guess this is Marvel trying to appeal to the growing-up audience. Judging the rating at IMDb.com (7.8) this seems to work, but I do not really get much further than: somewhat amusing, here and there an alright joke.
