I did rate it higher on my YouTube channel: 8/10. But it was mainly based on my first viewing. In that review, I expressed the same points Hellboy and many of you have mentioned in here. Now in retrospective and after watching it on Blu ray at home, I can see the flaws of my previous score.
YouTube-Deadpool Movie Review
Deadpool is an enjoyable movie at first viewing. It is different to anything we have seen before. It stays mostly accurate to the comic book character, minus the R rating, but it fails to have a compelling story. This is more evident when you try to watch it a second and a third time. It gets brownie points for staying true to the producers' vision and for trying to please the fans. But in the end, it is also a reflection of the character as a whole. Deadpool is a shallow character and the movie based on him is guilty of the same sins, regardless of what the fanboys say. A 6.5 to 7 score is more than enough.
