I got to see Deadpool yesterday. My stepdaughter took me, one of my nephews, and her boyfriend. It fits into the X-men movie universe pretty well, and quite frankly was one of the best superhero adaption movies ever. From the self-depreciating opening credits to the closing credits bathrobe wearing Deadpool teasing a sequel, it really had no hiccups, slow parts, or things that would give you a moment to cringe. You could maybe cringe at the violence, but the story itself meshed really well. There were some flashbacking, because let's face it, they have to tell his origin story, as well as the story of the whole movie, but that's probably to be expected. I'm not a fan of the flashback type stuff, but comedy of this thing made it more than bearable, it was downright enjoyable. Stan Lee did a cameo, which was easily the best of the ones Marvel movies have had yet, as an emcee at a strip joint. It was unexpected, but comedy gold for the comic nut.
Now it was mildly awkward to see some nudity with my nephew, stepdaughter, and her boyfriend next to me, but I've got to say all in all a great movie. It was definitely a movie for guys, but it had a female hero, a female villian beating the crap out of Colossus, and Ryan Reynolds' backside. A+ to the movie makers.
