Watched it with the wife last night. We both enjoyed it for opposite reasons. The amount of beefcake would give any woman diabetes off the bat.
I mean it is what it is, and despite certain groups trashing it for some jokes, nothing was out of line for a character that literally was billed to be a big "Fuck You" to the Comics Authority. His nickname is "Merc with a mouth."
Deadpool was in top form, despite now entering the MCU under the heavy yoke of Disney and their "Family Friendly" draconian regulations. A love story ending suicide, Sure! Attempted Beastiality, Fine! throw some singing fine china and a french candle who obviously was a ladies man and start cashing the big return checks.
Fortunately for us, Disney knew a sure thing, only outright banning any drug content, leaving in the violence and other things.
But as a movie in whole, I'd give it a solid B+
Why? because it was like watching a man trying to untangle a huge ball of Christmas lights of story lines. The base was the Deadpool team up comics, where he worked with Wolverine, which was a fun, even if serious ride. Then toss in the current MCU phase, post snap, pre reality collapse timeline, then for some ungodly reason, reference a show that not everyone watched on Disney+, and then poke fun at an alternate time line of an alternate time line, and you got this movie. Not really hard to follow, but at least they did not try and shoehorn in an OP superhero last minute, Looking at you Captain Marvel, who should still be in a coma after Rogue stole your powers. Cant retcon a main cannon plot.
The soundtrack was a huge driving force for me. I mean the N'Sync intro, and then "Like a Prayer" for the climactic bits. Did Disney Censors not exist when that song was released? The whole song was about fucking. "In the midnight hour, I can feel your power." "I am on my knees..." But oddly enough, both songs fit snug with it all, and did not detract from the movie, though now if I hear those songs I will be drawn to those scenes.
If you are looking for a good movie to kill time with, its now free on Disney+, worth it to me, not because of geeky passion, but honestly because its a good, if lost in its own premise story.

Total: Must at least watch once, or buy for your video collection. An unaltered, untouched up, buff as all fuck Hugh Jackman. Need I say more? Be sure to have a glass of wine with that Beefcake, Ladies.
