12 Bafflingly High 2016 IMDb Scores You Will Not Believe
2. Deadpool
IMDb Rating: 8.1
Look, Deadpool was a lot of fun. It took a long time for the film to come together, but thanks to Ryan Reynolds performance and a witty script, it was worth the wait. That’s also reflected in the insane worldwide gross of $780 million, technically making it the highest grossing of the X-Men films; not bad for an R-rated film starring an obscure anti-hero.
All that said, though, it's IMDb rating of 8.1 feels too generous. Despite the fourth wall breaking antics the plot is a bog standard origin tale, the modest budget prevents any standout action and the romantic subplot lacks spark.
It’s a perfectly fun movie, but its current ranking feels like excited fans were a bit overzealous with their vote.
