Deadpool Review

by Pete Brown


February 18, 2016
   

Deadpool

The film is based on Marvel Comics about the former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who was a subject of a horrible  experiment which healed him from cancer and gave him incredible super power, but scarred him for life. With the help of  his supernatural abilities Deadpool tries to exterminate the man who conducted this experiment.

“Deadpool” can symbolize the beginning of a new age in cinema – a global dumbing down of the moviegoers with violence and vulgarism of this so-called satire on superhero films.

The film received positive reviews both from the critics and the audiences alike what can raise doubts about authenticity of these reviews and about the intellectual level of  these so-called critics.

One thing I agree with is that the director is an “overpaid tool” as this is how he was credited in the titles.

This film was supposed to be a parody of the superhero film, however the jokes are not funny and needlessly vulgar, and is targeted towards the most primitive audience.

The plot is stupid and full of pointless violent scenes. There is no aesthetic value of cinematography, nothing emotionally gripping and the whole film is reminiscent of a bad joke played at the stupid audience who bought the ticket to such a trashy film.

Somehow this film is a classic example of brainwashing of people, manipulating the most primitive instincts, appealing to the dark subconscious of the young and immature people. The film is too juvenile, however it has a R-rating so it is not really clear what audience it was made for.
