Deadpool

This movie is not a superhero movie, it's more of a merc with regenerative super powers. At the core, it is a love story, rivaling Titanic's love story, only that the guy gets to live, but at the cost of his handsome "People's Most Sexiest Man" good looks. LOL!

The plot is simple, almost too simple, but easy enough to entertain the audience with all sorts of zeitgeist snark and funny rejoinders and observations, and lamentations on super powers used in less than heroic or self-less ways. The cast seemed to have a blast with the film, lending to the fun energy throughout the movie.

Even with all the murderous undertakings, the film is entertaining because it's mostly through the prism of Deadpool's point of view. And yeah, be a good parent and don't take your kid to see this film unless they are at a maturity level of roughly 15 years or older, and can handle frank sex scenes (and kinky "50 Shades of Red" stuff), and other crude humor. Or have fun explaining some possibly uncomfortable material with your under-aged offspring prematurely... :)

I give it 3 stars or a grade of B.
