rynlingI don't mean to kinkshame anyone, but there was a lot of torture in this movie, and I mean a lot of torture. At a certain point it stopped being cute.
I also don't mean to 1990s shame anyone, but they might have gone way over the top with the Ace Ventura style humor. I'm not sure if that was specifically what they were aiming for, but I wouldn't have been at all surprised if Ryan Reynolds had bent over during a fight scene and was like, EXCUSE ME, BUT I'D LIKE TO... ASS... YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.
The only thing this movie did well were the bits that were essentially Deadpool-as-Dan-Savage hanging out with Leslie Uggams (I love her, so much) and bitching about Ikea furniture. The movie would have been 9001% better if that were its focus, with Deadpool occasionally killing people offscreen to keep the premise from collapsing.
The internet has been talking about the animation during the closing credits as if it's some sort gift from the Marvel gods, but when the unicorn ejaculated rainbows and farted dollar bills I got the feeling that they might have been trying too hard.
The gender politics were disgusting and made me want to burn the theater to the ground. If Deadpool is supposed to be edgy and subversive and socially progressive, maybe it could have tried just a little harder to get away from the stereotypical comic book narrative centered around a woman being rescued by a burly man who is fantastic at fucking and even better at murder.
In conclusion, I resent this movie, I resent the person who dragged me to go see it, I resent the local theater where I watched it, I resent Rotten Tomatoes for giving it an aggregate score of 83%, and I resent every single shitty preview that came on before it. This is it bros, I'm done with movies, I am so done.

Date: 2016-02-22 02:54 pm (UTC)I despise super hero movies, but this was supposed to be a super hero movie that hated (or at least snubbed its nose at????) super hero movies so I was willing to consider watching it as streaming background noise, and I can see now my entire premise was horribly flawed and oh the fires there would have been.
Such fires.
And now my neighbors are safe.
So I thank you.
I assume the unicorn ejaculation thing is not some kind of hyperbole, that actually happened, and of course we would laud it considering the current state of American cinema.

It's better than the new Michael Moore movie, though, so at least there's that.
