Many years later, though, and somewhat battle weary, they are offered the opportunity by "Stryker" (Danny Huston) to join his elite team of mutant commandos. Disillusioned with this, "Loga…

I actually enjoyed this movie. But I do understand the criticism, especially for Wade Wilson in this movie. Standing alone, I really liked the movie, and their idea with Deadpool was creative, just poorly executed.
