I understand going to see a Ryan Reynolds movie, ESPECIALLY Deadpool it's going to be his constant sarcastic pushed humor - however this was overboard. I love a good heavy dialogue in movies, but this was just sooo much dribble and wasted screen time. Constant tongue and cheek joking which didn't push the story a foot, which gets extremely repetitive and exhausting. Deadpool 1 especially had quirky on the spot humor in specifics parts of the movie which brought attention to scenes and made you laugh; however this is just pushed Ryan Reynolds humor to exhausting levels. The only time I chuckled is when Wolverine tells him how annoying he is in the car, which is great as it made me realized that Ryan and the cast / crew are actually aware just how annoying he really is - but they choose to keep pushing it.

The story could of been somewhat entertaining if they nurtured it just a little more instead of having run on exhausting monologues from Ryan that go absolutely no where. Deadpool humor is great in specific situations, but to continuously listen too it for over an hour and a half is crazy. I actually stopped the movie at the 3/4 mark to write this review because I needed a break from it all.

I give this movie a 2 star just because of the acting from Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and actually the short acting from Wesley Snipes is the best in the entire movie. I knew what I was getting into when I loaded up a Deadpool movie, but this was just too much of something that needs to be more thought out and paced better. Glad I didn't pay for it and waited for it to be on a streaming service.

I have read the reviews for a wide number of movies on this site, and felt myself agreeing with them, until now. This movie alone made me create and account and speak my mind.

First off, yes, the movie is about Martin being overweight and embarking on the most dangerous swimming trek known to man. That alone could make the movie, however everyone is missing the most important message of this film.

Although the Navigator Matt gets on peoples nerves and goes a little insane, but..... for a moment, he understands what it's all for. The Amazon forest is one of the last " perfect " places on earth untouched by mankind's disgusting industry. As Martins son narrates he tells everyone that in the year 2020, there will be no more Rain Forest, no more Amazon. That makes you wonder, then what do we do ?.

Although the Amazon is dangerous and is not tamed by man, it is the perfect view of the utopia that is Earth. Martin is bringing this to everyone's attention. Martin might not be Michael Moore when it comes to his documentary style, but I have more respect for a man that embarks on that physical adventure then for someone that instead knocks on doors and get's on peoples nerves. The movie is about bringing the awareness to our environment, and doing what everyone is afraid to do.

As Martin says when he swimming in the water looking at the beauty around him, everyone could benefit from being in this environment. No noise, no harassment, just the sound of the forest, and perfect harmony. And what happens when that is taken away ?, where then will you go, and what will you do to truly feel free ?. All in all, the movie is a great watch, however you need to take something from it, not just forget it happened.
