I'll get it out of the way; one of Wade's wisecracks is to a super-strong woman, and he "calls wang" on her surprising strength. It's blink and you'll miss it, and he is just throwing relentless insults to rile his enemies up, but it is there and it is disappointing. It is the only issue I noticed, however, so its still a rare gem in mainstream cinema. The gore is all over the place, including Deadpool cutting off his own hand and the gross view of his suited up broken hands and foot flopping around. It's all in context, but hide if you're squeamish.
Deadpool's cancer, injuries and low points in life give us a taste of the depth his character has in the comics. We see the humour covering his emotional pain, we see the way he's grown used to the pain but still feels it, and we see that him being a rude, sexual serial murderer and him being a sweet friend and champion of the underdog are complimenting characteristics.
If you haven't heard of Deadpool, this is a fantastic introduction that throws a complex and different type of superhero character right in your face from the get-go. You should be ashamed and go look him up, but you can go straight ahead and watch this film. If you do know Deadpool, whether you vaguely know him as that sweary guy who talks to the reader or you have a poster of that time he made all those pancakes on your bedroom wall, you'll be seeing something worth seeing.
In relation to the time he made all those pancakes, the only other superhero characters in the film are two X-Men, and a reference is made to Cable in the post-credit scene. In the hope of sequels, there is hope for characters such as Spiderman and his relationship with him.
The romance subplot is a well-fitting subplot and the driving force behind the main plot; he takes the risky cancer treatment for the sake of his love interest and she is his a major part of his planned goal. It made for the perfect alternative Valentine's Day film, and it'll be a great date-night movie for anyone who hasn't seen it. It's a great superhero film too, so don't worry about your own love interest. As the viewer, you're focused on the man in the red suit anyway.
