Deadpool is a funny and a very unconventional fare that attempts to stand out from the rest of the superhero films. And it succeeds in its endaevour to a great extent. The lead character’s antics, the non-linear narrative and the subtle references to other films and characters ensures that viewers have a great time. The action scenes are damn good, especially the one in the beginning. It just rightly sets the mood of the film. Sadly, after a point, it comes to light that the storyline is pretty ordinary that takes the charm away from the film to an extent. And in India, there are so many muted dialogues in between which further hamper the experience. It is anyways sometimes difficult to understand the Western accent, at least for me, in films. And this film has no subtitles. Hence, it was quite a task to fill in the muted gaps so that I can understand the relevance of the dialogue uttered. Before I could do that, the next dialogue has already been mouthed and I lose out to that as well. What a disaster for someone like me. Lesson learnt after watching The Hategful Eight and now Deadpool – no watching films in theatres that have been butchered by our Censor Board.

My rating - *** out of 5!
