As an action movie, it was mediocre. Maybe if Ryan Reynolds was the budding sidekick for most of the film, I could see it doing better, but they gave that role to Will.I.Am. Mistake #1.
As a comic book adaptation, it was horrific. The liberties that the writers and directors took with the characters mess so many things up I had trouble accepting the movie for what it was. They FINALLY got Gambit into an X-Men movie and he was in it for probably 10 minutes. Along with what they did to Deadpool, I'm not surprised why so many hardcore fans despised this film.
I'm not saying this movie didn't have its moments. The parts that were supposed to be funny were worth a chuckle or two, and I was duped into feeling emotional during certain parts. That shows good acting and good directing.
I did like the movie. There's just a difference between my critical review (1/5) and my "how much will you enjoy this" review (2.5/5). The latter isn't worth a damn, but that's how much I enjoyed the movie when I went and saw it.
more later.
