It is a very fun movie but it honestly is getting too much credit if you ask me. It is pretty, I don't want to say cliche, but basic. I mean the whole portion of the movie about his origin is just like any other superhero movie and they don't really make any jokes about it being kinda cliche. The third act is really similar to other superhero movies (just more violent and with more mature jokes thrown in), he beats the bad guy, gets the girl etc. And the movie at times thinks its being way cleverer than it actually is like the bit where Colossus is giving him the big speech about being a hero I was like "Okay he's going to shoot the bad guy right? Wow really taking a long time to shoot him, aren't you? Okay seriously, everyone in this audience already knows the punch line to this joke can you please just shoot him already!" and he does! What a surprise!

I wouldn't be complainging as much about this stuff if people weren't saying stuff like "omg this completely deconstructs the Marvel formula! What a clever and unique film!" like come on, Guardians made fun of itself all the time but it never claimed to be something it wasn't like Deadpool does. "This isn't that kind of superhero" no it is, just with more violence, sex and fourth wall jokes. Which is FINE and FUN, just don't pretend to be something more than you actually are!

Lol I didn't mean for this to turn into a rant but hey just being honest. I still liked the movie, really fun, but is it the game changer everyone says it is? Nah, but it might lead to some game changers since more r-rated action movies are going to be made because of it, so I respect it for that.
