Plus, it couldn't figure out whether it wanted to be a comedic superhero film or a dark superhero film. The performances were fine but the VFX over the top. Plus, that villain was one part scary and one part unbelievable.
They fucked it up on a par to what they did with the Fantastic Four, Galactus, and Silver Surfer. Green Lantern SHOULD have been an awesome flick. It wasn't. [Reply]

Yep. It was on the studio, not the actors. [Reply]
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. [Reply]
