There's probably very little to say about 20th Century Fox's first stab at Deadpool that hasn't been said already, but Gavin Hood's patchwork mute version of the character deserves every single kicking it gets across the internet and beyond. It really is that bad, and thinking back on it only makes it worse. Things start off okay at the film's beginning, although the studio's reluctance to put a mask or enough of an attitude on a much-hyped Ryan Reynolds makes the character seem more like a generic specialist soldier than a beloved cult character. After one sequence though, he's seemingly killed offscreen. A glorified cameo would sting, but it'd be infinitely more forgivable than what actually happened, with Deadpool brought back into proceedings as a zombified mutant multi-tool. They even went so far as to sew up his mouth, removing one of the character's most recognised traits in a move so stupid it's genuinely unbelievable that nobody stopped them from doing it and had the creative team removed from the building.
Stereotypically awkward writer, gamer and general nerd. Dislikes writing in the third person, likes tea as much as the next man but not as much as a typical blogger and has breath as fresh as a summer ham.
