In a world.. where superhero movies are often unnecessarily dark and
gritty, #Deadpool comes along and shows you how it's done! It's the
perfect combo of action, comedy, and R-rating that really don't give
two sh*ts about your sensitivity. Do you remember that warm blueberry
pie that your grandma made for you when you were younger or the time
you saw that girl you've been crushing on during chemistry class in
high school? Well, you can throw those memories out the window now and
make way for DEADPOOL.
Ryan Reynolds plays a skilled special forces operative turned mercenary
Wade Wilson, Morena Baccarin plays his hot-ass girlfriend, Vanessa.
This woman is the embodiment of sexy. They are a match made in Marvel
Comics' heaven. But their dream is crushed upon discovering that Wilson
has cancer all over, a situation that forces him to sign up to a rogue
experiment that subjects him to accelerated healing powers. The lab is
run by Francis/Ajax (Ed Skrein) who himself is a bit of a mutant. The
brutal experiments turn Wade Wilson into an ugly dude but an
indestructible one. He's now bent on revenge, especially after Ajax
kidnaps Vanessa. Meanwhile Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead from
the X-Men, try their best to convince Deadpool to join their team and
become one of the good guys. But let's face it, that ain't DEADPOOL's
style! The first people we have to thank of course would be the
original comic book writers/creators Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld who
brilliantly gave us this very unique superhero unlike any other. The
next people in line to thank are screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul
Wernick who remind us why we loved "Zombieland" back in 2009, they
inject the same brand of humor into DEADPOOL and keep the character
faithful to the comic books, yes, by that I mean none of that crap
version of Wade Wilson in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" anymore! Applause
goes to Tim Miller as well, what a helluva feature directorial debut,
clearly when you give a superhero project to a geek who loves the
material and knows it inside out, if you just let him run with it, it's
like giving G.I. Joe toys to a kid who can name them all by heart,
great things can happen.
For those of you who are not familiar with DEADPOOL, just a heads up,
this movie, just like the comics, is extremely over the top graphic in
terms of sex, violence and humor, and that's exactly how we like it.
Wade Wilson is a chatterbox, he talks a lot, to some this can get
annoying, while to the rest, it's music to our ears, mainly because of
the sh*t he says. And he breaks fourth wall, meaning he'll talk to you
the audience. But what's even more epic than that is the fact that he
is AWARE of the universe that he's in and the universe that you're in,
and those two collide in the most epic way possible, so Ryan Reynolds'
character, Wade Wilson, makes fun of Ryan Reynolds the actor and also
mocks Ryan Reynolds' previous poor decisions like Green Lantern and
People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive This movie is a dream come true for
those of you hardcore fans, it even has what I think is one of the
greatest most hilarious opening credit scenes in the history of cinema.
For a while, I heard that the studio wanted the film to include more
mutants, but I'm glad the filmmakers kept things to just a few
characters for this first installment a.k.a origin story, so it's
simple enough for the new fans to follow. I love how the humor is so
brash and unapologetic, it's like insult comedy or one of them roast
shows, everybody is fair game. The fights are rock 'em sock 'em and the
VFX is impressive! And I can't be happier for Ryan Reynolds, I'm sure
he had been wanting to redeem himself since "Green Lantern" and
whatever the hell that was in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," so with this
DEADPOOL movie, he finally got it right, you can tell he desperately
wanted to be part of this superhero genre, and so now he's really part
of the gang. He was born for this role. He was destined to play this.
In many ways, Deadpool is kinda like Van Wilder on crack. And actress
Morena Baccarin as Vanessa… well, let's just say that after watching
this movie, every guy on earth will wonder, 'Why can't my girlfriend be
more like that!' If you're looking for a date movie, DEADPOOL is it. if
you're looking for an action-packed movie, DEADPOOL is definitely most
certainly it.
