Deadpool

There is a lot that needs to be changed to make this a better fan film. Trying to pass it off as a real film is sad. Granted there is some good fan films out there but this is not one of them. I am a huge movie buff and comic reader and this did nothing for me. The humor was so off from Deadpool, I am not sure if the writer as read all of Deadpool's comics. I figure if your going to do a movie based on a character do your research. And if you did, damn you missed the mark. Deadpool's humor is over the top but he doesn't try as hard as the character in the film. The costume looks like the same kind I see at comic con every year. And really? Contacts? The voice over work can really be noticeable. The way it is dubbed in sounds bad. I think some scenes the voices were higher than others. The acting. Boy where do, I start. It is just bad. I know this is not professional but you could at least looked for better candidates. Now all that was bad but the worst was the story. I know it is a series but good god follow a format. There is not pace at all. We meet the lead and then run into garbage. There is no meat on this boneless video. Deadpool is very fun, fast paced comic but this video turned him into a cartoon joke. I will have to pass on episode 3 if no changes were made. I was drawn to this because I am a huge indie film fan and of course love Deadpool. I recommend watching 'Grayson' to get a better feel of the proper way to portray comic characters on a limited budget. And take time casting actors.I feel guy behind this had his heart in the right place but everything falls very very short.

I'm not the biggest Deadpool or comicbook fan but this web-series seems like it was made by people with a genuine affinity for the character and on its own terms is entertaining enough.

Those criticising its quality as a fan series should probably take a look around at some of the other stuff made on micro-budgets and realise that for a fan made production it's not too bad at all. Some of the oneliners are pretty good and not too far away from the style of the current film franchise (though without such quickfire delivery).

The acting is okay and nobody seems to lack enthusiasm or be too wooden. The poor lighting, sound and 'sets' are going to take away from any performance but I think most of the cast do pretty well with it.

In summary, if you're a fan of the character then give it a go and see what you make of it. If you're just going to judge it against the multi million dollar films or even higher budget / more recent fan projects then maybe save your time.

I had high expectations of what I wanted to see in Deadpool as I was let down by Hollywood itself in it's first attempt at the 'Merc with a Mouth' I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I must say I got more than I could ever imagine. The comedy was superb and I must say even though this is completely fan-made Chris does great work with what he has. There is always room for improvement (as with anything that is barely starting out) and I'm sure that if given enough time this series can become even better. I've seen other Deadpool fan films/series and this series by far surpasses them all. I was so excited to watch episode two after I had seen the first one. I just hope they will be able to continue on with this series as I'm hooked and must have more.

Should be ashamed of yourselves....... ...... .......

Ironic, the series name is "Not Deadpool" and here is listed as "Deadpool". I liked the fact that there was a green lantern plushie, a Ryan poster and the ringtone of Deadpool phone was a Power Ranger ringtone.
