I saw it last night, and if you are a fan of the Deadpool character, I have no doubt you'll be pleased with the movie. It is almost a perfect rendition of Deadpool. Note that I'm a huge sucker for superhero movies.
I felt the story was pretty standard, but everything else about it was just so spot-on. The Deadpool comics are known for being ultraviolent, and the movie lived up to that. But the style of the action was so unique and such fun to watch, if you can get past the violence. I have noticed as I get older that the violent movies don't tend to excite me as they did when I was younger, but I let myself step into my younger self's shoes and enjoy the ride. Ryan Reynolds is so perfectly fitting for the character and his delivery was perfect. Irreverent is the perfect word. I was also interested to see how they'd break the fourth wall, and it happened in the best ways at the best times.
I was also pretty stoked to see how solidly they planted the movie into the X-Men universe, going the route of Marvel and DC and creating a whole cinematic universe. Since the new X-Men movies are taking place in the 1980's, and this one was present-day, I'm not sure exactly how they'll fit them together. But the X-Men that showed up were awesome, a perfect pairing with Deadpool.
As a Deadpool fan and a superhero fan, I'd give it an A. Gary and his wife joined us for the film too, and both of them had a great time even though neither of them are into superheros or violent action movies.
