Weekend Review: Deadpool

I love comic book movies, so I couldn't wait for Deadpool. I have enjoyed Deadpool in other media, but for I just found this movie to be ok. I felt like all the funny moments were in the trailer. I don't remember laughing the entire time that I was in the theater. The biggest problem that I have with this movie is that it is a love story. I know many other Marvel movies feature a love story, and that works for those movies. My favorite comic book movie of all time, The Crow (while not a Marvel movie) is a love story, and it works. It doesn't work for Deadpool, He never even had that much of a relationship with Vanessa in the comics, so it's odd that they paired him with her. I would have much preferred a movie with no romance. Why couldn't he have just wanted his face fixed? The movie was enjoyable, but not as much as I thought it would be.
