So I wasn't too much of a fan of this film.  Sorry guys.  I know a lot people love it and have been watching it numerous times saying it is hilarious, but to me, this film was okay.

I do agree with the notion that Ryan Reynolds is made for this part, especially considering the Green Lantern fail.  But let's just say that all of the funny parts were seen in the trailers.

I hate when they do that.  But it works as a marketing technique to go and see the film.

Wade Wilson (Reynolds) is in love with the girl of his dreams, Vanessa (Baccarin), when his nightmare begins.  He is diagnosed with terminal cancer and it is too late to really do any kind of treatment.  One day, he gets the offer to get rid of the cancer.  He decides to try the experiment to find out that it is actually a trick into making him a "super slave."  Unfortunately the treatment works, but makes him well...really really ugly.  In order to get revenge, he tries to track down Francis a.k.a. Ajax and kill him.  He fails time and time again, but when Vanessa gets kidnapped, he tries even harder?

Now as I wrote that summary, I realized that this movie isn't all that great again.  Anyway, I did like the nontraditional characteristics of the film.  For example, the opening credits of the film was creative and the motion graphics to get around the scene was done wonderfully.

I also liked the breaking of the fourth wall time and time again.  Especially when it came to the references of Hugh Jackman and even the magazine covers.

But the reason for my repetitive 3 popcorns is that the plot I didn't like and it wasn't that funny when you see the jokes in the trailers time and time again.  Many will disagree, but whatever.  3 popcorns.
