Did not make me curious sadly
14 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
"Deadpool: No Good Deed" is a live action short film that got released less than two weeks ago, namely in early March 2017. Since then, it racked up millions and millions of views on Youtube, which shows how popular Ryan Reynolds' "Deadpool" is right now. And the actor also plays the character in here. Namely he sees a crime, enters a phone booth to put on his superhero costume and then gets out ready for action. But it's all over because he took so long. So yeah, the approach here clearly shows how comedy is a big factor in "Deadpool", more than usual. It reminded me a bit of a Kickass thingey. Deadpool of course needs to step things up to be competition to Spider Man, who changes dresses within seconds. But honestly, even at under five minutes, the entire thing is like an overlong joke. The punch line isn't bad, but it just stops being funny at some point and honestly, the final shot is a bit on the offensive/pathetic side. I have not yet seen Deadpool from last year, even if I know the character pretty well as does almost everybody these days. However, this little film here did not get me curious at all about this first film or the second one that is bound to be released in 2018. Thumbs down. Only worth watching for huge Deadpool and Stan Lee fans
