Deadpool is not a movie about unlikely heroes trying to save the world from a terrifying menace. It is not supposed to provoke messages or make you question how you see certain things in life. And it definitely does not care what you think of everything going on even though it knows that you're watching.
What Deadpool is instead is a filter-less action comedy about an immortal mercenary who's out to get the guy who made him the way he is. I'll say right away that the R rating of this movie isn't a joke. Literally every kill is graphic and visceral with blood staining the scenery, the profanity is rampant, and the sexual imagery and acts is still very much in your face.
But this isn't a bad thing. In fact, I'd say that if it weren't for all of this excessive violence and crude humor, it wouldn't be a Deadpool movie. The entire movie's charm is how ludicrous everything is and how it gleefully mocks pretty much everything it can. Whether it's taking jabs at the X-men movies and the concept of being a hero, the insane delight Deadpool takes in murdering people and his ridiculous methods of doing so, or overall just talking to the audience, it's all the charm of the film. The humor is excellent, so long as you can handle the crass. Seriously, don't go to this movie if you can't handle crudeness because you WILL end up vomiting like Colossus does.
The cameos from X-men were a nice addition, even if you don't know who they are. Their personalities add well to the movie's tone with Colossus trying (and failing) to be a heroic figure and Negasonic Teenage Warhead being incredibly deadpan and snarky to everything. I really felt that their presence made the movie better since Deadpool had some heroes to interact and conflict with, if only for a short amount of time.
But really, I can't do the movie any justice with my words. Go watch it with your boyfriend/girlfriend/stuffed unicorn and prepare for a bombastic and depraved time.
