Review: Deadpool (2016)

Rating: 8.0 of 10

I've been meaning to write a review for Deadpool weeks ago, but life took over... Anyhow, here's my review.

Deadpool has a tricky history in the big screen. He is a Marvel character who’s mainly characterized as a foul-mouthed mercenary/anti-hero, with accelerated healing power and a habit of breaking the fourth wall. He was once thought as an unfilmable character (considering his ultra-violence and less-than-morally-acceptable commentaries) that when he showed up in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, not only he was unrecognizable, he was exactly the opposite of what he supposed to be. The 'Merc with a Mouth' had become literally mouthless (pictured below). It took 7 years and a climate chance in the superhero film industry, for Deadpool to become Deadpool in the movies.

Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool (again, as he also played him in Wolverine), and surprisingly to me, he completely inhabit his role. Deadpool, in the hands of a wrong actor, would become a completely insufferable character, but Reynolds nailed everything on the head. The tone, the comedic timing, the look--everything.

Basically what makes Deadpool such a good a movie is the tone. For me, its action is almost unquestionable. Marvel has always had good action sequences, so it's almost a, "Yeah duh, of course it will have great action." Plot is good 'though true and tested (although it does a new spin with flashbacks). Characters are fun; Colossus is a perfect antidote to Deadpool, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead doesn't have much to do but is very memorable. BUT the tone is amazing. I'm not talking about it being R-rated, but I'm talking about it being purely a Deadpool movie. Self-deprecation, fourth-wall breaking, and its refusal to not knock down everything and anything in its sight (including a diss about Green Lantern's awful CGI suit and X-Men's messed-up timeline), makes a tonally unique movie.

Deadpool isn't the best movie Marvel ever created, it’s not the most daring (Guardians of the Galaxy still wins that crown), and it's definitely not the best movie ever. Honestly, Deadpool isn't even the best R-rated superhero film. 2010′s Kick-Ass still excelled Deadpool for me (primarily because Kick-Ass' soundtrack really elevated the whole movie). TL;DR However, Deadpool was a lot of fun and if you're looking for a faithful Deadpool movie, you can't go better than this one.

at this point in his career, I think directors just give Ryan Reynolds the plot to a movie and he just makes up the dialogue as he goes bc there is no way any of the shit he says in his movies is planned and not just him saying whatever he thinks would make the movie go on

stop these two fluffy idiots melt my heart😞💗

“in another “why not this

life-“ one?”

“now?” “yeah.”

I don’t think I ever posted this here. Heres an old version of my take on Victor Creed from X-Men 97. I know we don’t really get to see with the show except for like one more turned into Victor for like a split second to mess with Logan, but I feel like the 90s and Victor Creed mix very well together

OK, I’m glad somebody finally mentioned this, but I love the scene with Victor and Logan talking to Striker because the moment before that you can see Victor very obviously playing with a rat letting it run around his body using his body is kinda like a little slinky, like actual rat owners do which intern made me lead to the canon that victor would have a pet rat and loves it so much and gives it treats and tricks. It’ll probably be a little girl too. Also the fact that Victor is really into vulture culture too, but I mean it’s kind of separate from the rat thing but it still counts. It seems like anybody that has rats really like bones also 

I've made an amazing discovery!

RAT!!

He's having some breakfast

ahhhhhhhh brotherly I will forever stand that Victor loved his brother more than anything, but he just didn’t know how to properly express his love so it got taken away from him and anyone freaking insane but you know we don’t talk about that 

Yes, I believe that's Wolverine and Sabretooth in our timeline being bbf - best bros forever. Shut up and let me live that dream 🥲

So pretty

he can't take victor anywhere. commission for @maybe-im-dark 💛

This is the greatest thing i have ever seen 10 stars a master piece yes i want More

@maybe-im-dark was all like, someone needs to splice these two scenes from this Phantoms movie and Origins Wolverine together because Liev Schreiber limbo. So I was like, bet😑
