Just saw Deadpool

Took me back to being a teenager rather than a horny almost 30 guy that I am now. But yeah, just like the old days, especially all the winks and nods to Hugh Jackman in the movie. I'm guessing there's some heat between those two. Love to see Jackman cameo in DP2.

Definitely a great comic book movie worthy of all the praise it's gotten.

Imagine that, actually NOT fucking up the character and letting him work his magic on screen. Why is that so hard for studios? I've seen nothing but them taking characters and changing them for years now. Just actually be faithful to the source and leave it at that.

So it's a lot like a mash up of darkman, hellboy, the matrix, blade, dredd movie, sin city and above all else it's sorta like the punisher all in one. Revenge story sort of thing. I absolutely loved it, but one weakness is its lack of depth. It's not at all trying to be a realistic movie. It's a cartoon parading as a movie. That kinda limits it and undercuts its attempts at seriousness when you're constantly feeling like you're on set as they film it.

Well done though. My favorite parts were the skewering of deadpool from Origins. I was hoping for more than a few references and maybe a full explanation for why there was a deadpool in that movie at all. Maybe say there's an alternate universe. It wasn't really him, it was some other guy, something...
