I haven't seen Deadpool yet, but damn does it look stupid.

Admittedly, I'm already pretty opposed to the flood of formulaic superhero movies, and I'm all for something that could break from that mold.

But these reviews I keep reading are just reaffirming my feelings about the pandering genre that is superhero movies:

"not a parody, just a cheap superhero movie that ceaselessly reminds you it knows how lazy & stupid it is"

.

"I don't know what this movie's biggest sin is: that they constrained Deadpool by walls and forced him to adhere to a formula rather than let him roam freely on a sandbox and do whatever the fuck he wants; that they hired actual screenwriters and an actual director to make a steaming pile of crap instead of those geniuses at marketing who seem to get what Deadpool is all about; or that Fox fucked Deadpool up twice. Sorry, fanboys, it's Fantastic Four all over again. Pass."

.

"If you were cryogenically frozen in the early '90s as a 12 year old boy, you'll be blown away by Deadpool. For anyone who lived through Tarantino, The Matrix and Shrek, or has enjoyed intercourse at some point in their lives, this is the low point of the seemingly never-ending superhero fad."

.

"DEADPOOL is certainly gory and profane, but deep down it’s really no different than every other comic-book movie (and its ending is even more conventional than a lot of the stuff it spoofs). Pointing out how crappy other movies are doesn’t automatically make your movie good."

The only good superhero movies are Unbreakable, Guardians, and the first Iron Man. The rest are predictable, formulaic, pandering, superficial and plain boring
