Hello All,
So I think for most of us this was the film we’ve been waiting for, not just since it was announced, but since the first time Fox attempted to bring Deadpool to the big screen. We all remember the butcher job they gave to him in Origins, and ever since Ryan Reynolds has been on a mission to redeem the character. Fun Fact: they silenced Deadpool in that movie to gave Wolverine more screen time, thanks Fox. First there was the test footage, then when it went viral on the internet, and then when the Fantastic Four movie started running into issues, they decided to give in and give us a Deadpool movie. So now, the question is this: Does the movie live up to all it’s hype? Let’s find out together, shall we?
Plot Summary - Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is a former special forces operative, now working as a mercenary for hire. He meets and falls in love with a girl named Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and the two become engaged. When he diagnosed with terminal cancer, he undergoes a radical treatment to cure himself, only to learn that they’re turning him into a weapon. Now, disfigured but powerful, he dons a suit and the name Deadpool to seek revenge on those who wronged him.
Pros - From the opening credit sequence of the movie, you know exactly what kind of film you are in for…….a fucking kickass Deadpool movie. If this was all you needed to know, I’m glad I was able to help. Continuing on for whoever’s left, I can honestly say there was not a single moment in this movie I didn’t enjoy. This movie manages to find the perfect balance of all it’s elements, and utilizes them all perfectly. To the perfectly timed and executed jokes, the kick ass action scenes, hell even the romance plot feels like a perfect Deadpool romance, as it doesn’t hinder the film in any way at all. Hell it has some of the raunchier jokes in the movie.
The 4th wall breaks are there and my god are they fucking awesome. There are so many great references, not only to things going on in the movie, but to Ryan Reynolds himself and even other films he’s been in.
The cast is perfect, the music is perfect, there’s blood, and nudity, and swearing and none of it feels immature or forced. Just everything about this movie is awesome and I can say so much more about this movie, but I’d be heading into spoiler territory and I really don’t want to do that.
Cons - *Clears throat, and stands on soapbox* THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR KIDS. I repeat, THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR FUCKING KIDS. I don’t care if it got a 14A rating, if your kid is like 12 and under, wait till it’s out on DVD and buy it then, cause that way you can turn it off if you don’t think it’s appropriate for them, which it’s not, because DEADPOOL IS NOT A FUCKING MOVIE FOR YOUR FUCKING KIDS TO BE WATCHING.
Final Score - 10/10
It’s really good people. It’s the Deadpool movie we all wanted, and my early contender for movie of the year. Go see it, leave the kids at home, and just go get as blown away as I was.
Next: Zoolander 2 tomorrow. I’m also seeing a screening of Labyrinth as well, which I might review if I have time.
