CGiii Comment

Before this was released...there was a great big hullabaloo about 'Deadpool' being pansexual...

Exactly what is pansexual?

So...we looked it up: not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity.

Wethinks...just another [silly] word for bisexual. Ooooh we can hear the screams of indignation...keep on screaming bibibabies.

Let's face it...it's just a new generation trying to re-define themselves...without much success.

Pansexual...what a load of bollocks. However, it did achieve a mountain of pre-publicity...good work, marketeers!

Back to the film...

Deadpool (the character) is camp and straight, he may have a roving eye for the boys...(so say the pansexualists)...but, that avenue remains unexplored.

Ryan Reynolds camps it up to high heaven...delivering some knockout lines with flare and charm...you can't help but love'im.

It's a spruce, polished production with some snappy writing. The David Beckham joke is brilliant.

It ain't gonna win awards for artistic integrity...but, it will please the masses...as the box office has proven - over $350 million!

Damn fine adult humour...keep the writing up to this standard and the sequel will be the start of another mad franchise.

Well done Ryan.
