Deadpool was a refreshing departure from the light-hearted, formulaic approach that I've come to expect from the comic movie genre. But beneath the swearing, and violence, and nudity, it wasn't as crazy or outrageous as I was expecting--and hoping--it would be.
I dare say it was a rather bland: It still felt a bit too much like a standard Marvel superhero movie to me, with the same generic villains, the pain in the ass comic relief, and the all-too-familiar origin story.
Don't get me wrong, I did like it: I'd put it in my top five Marvel movies.
