Unnecessary sarcasm, decapitated and oozing bloody heads, the sounds of bodies being slashed, the stabbing of men as if they were “kabobs,” raunchy sex scenes, and too much nudity. Director Tim Miller’s movie, “Deadpool,” whose titular character is played by Ryan Reynolds, is about a man that is diagnosed with three different types of cancers and through unknown treatments he begins to mutate. His body is burned and his face is deformed but he is still able to regrow cells without the chance of dying, and he becomes stronger in multiple ways. Like any other superhero or comic book character, he fights against the bad guys, but he differs in other ways where he viciously and humorously kills his victims to lighten up the atmosphere for the audience.

I would give the movie either a C or D rating, not because of the action, but because of the large amount of talking of the main characters and the lack of character development after the “mutating procedure”. The amount of sex scenes and nudity was unnecessary, as there happened to be several young minors watching every disturbing and moaning movement of the main characters. I was not the only person that was uncomfortable and happened to turn my head during the various amounts of raunchy sex scenes and nudity, but the young man next to me happened to cover his eyes and scratch his head. He came alive again during the action and blatant sarcasm of the main character, and overall he seemed to enjoy the rest of the movie with the overly excited audience. There is also a huge amount of crotch jokes that the main character, Wade Wilson, makes at various points about himself and other men. The sexuality did not end with the main characters exchanging a kiss, but was included in the ending credits as well. The “Deadpool” character was turned back into a comic at the end, as he performed lewd acts with a unicorn, and also with himself, as he became attracted to both the men and women characters.

The humor in my opinion was unnecessary and dry, maybe because I happen to lean towards a cleaner and more authentic version of humor. As he transformed into a stronger man, he added jokes during the action scenes so that it would not be so serious. Scenes that would not seem funny during a typical action movie were now arousing the easily entertained crowd, with multiple moments of laughter, sneering and oohing. He was very talkative with offensive comebacks that made a lot of the characters upset, and this was while he was being tortured. Not only was there a lot of unnecessary sarcasm, but there was a lot of the “F” words being thrown into the conversation. Wilson often spoke to the camera audience and added a variety of old and new music to the “serious” action scenes.

I would not recommend this movie to viewers that expect the action to be only about action, because there is more humorous sarcasm and raunchy sex scenes. If you were to watch this movie, I would recommend that no one view the movie under the age of 18, because the content is very provocative and in your face. If you like movies with humor, sex scenes, and a lighter atmosphere of action mixed with sarcasm then this would be something that you might want to watch.
