DML Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ - good

"I mean, you are a ridiculous, immature, half-wit moron. I have never met a sadder, more attention-starved, jabbering little prick in my entire life, and that says a lot 'cause I've been alive for more than 200 f'ing years." - Wolverine to Deadpool

Why watch this? It's funny, well-done, and amidst all the chaos, a pretty good hero story.

Plot Summary: Wade Wilson is approached by the Time Variance Authority with a tempting offer to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the offer comes with a grave condition: his own timeline faces imminent destruction due to the death of its stabilizing "anchor being," Wolverine. Unwilling to let his universe perish, Deadpool embarks on a multiversal quest to find and recruit an alternate version of Wolverine to help him save his world.

Dad's Preview: OK, I have to get this out of the way first. If you are easily offended by crass, vulgar language including an endless barrage of the F-word - OR - the sight of bloody and gory killings... THEN, this film is not for you. It is 100% NOT for children. Now, onto the preview. There were many moments that I found entertaining. It is such a pleasure to see Jackman back as Wolverine. He dependably gives his all as a version of the character, who, in his universe, failed to be the hero we expect. Ryan Reynolds is likewise entertaining as Deadpool (aka The Merc with the Mouth), wise-cracking and gorily eviscerating foes all day long. Throw in a ton of multi-verse Marvel second-tier cameos and we got us a film! The special effects are amazing, as are the many (and I mean almost too many) fight scenes - it kinda makes me wonder about the younger super-hero audience, many of whom are desensitized by video game violence. That said, the plot makes sense, for the chaos it is, and I did enjoy the corny hero's ending.
