Saw the trailer in the cinema the other night, it’s more obvious on the big screen that it’s just not… quite… right. All the ingredients are there but the timing’s a beat off. It kind of reminds me of a US sitcom with the canned laughter switched off, if you’ve ever seen that, suddenly you realise how gappy and false all the dialogue is.
Also, they’d redubbed the “I’m touching myself” line to something else and it kind of drove home how weird the voice with no facial movement is. It’s a bit like with Bane in Batman but at least with him, you could tell who’s talking, with Deadpool it feels really disconnected and voiceovery. And it just doesn’t feel right, after all there’s a mouth under that gimp mask, how is it not moving, or muffled? Reminds me of V For Vendetta too where you had all that dialogue from behind a mask but it was still connected.
I want it to be good. I’ve a feeling it’s going to kind of suck.
