Funny, parody of superhero genre

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2019)

After watching a set of superhero movies this one subverts those movies. Deadpool is the anti-hero and the movie follows a standard Hollyweird storyline while also being generally funny with a good amount of breaking the fourth wall to the audience. There is an easy connection to other Marvel movies, but there is also a mocking of the X-Men for having a sexist name, smashing of racism (of Josh Brolin's character), and such. But we should recognize this is becoming the model and is earning Hollyweird execs the big bucks, in the millions of dollars. Still, this movie is good, with the Indian texi driver, Dopinder, even having a role in the bloodshed. They do such nutty stuff, subverting the happy-good-lucky sentiment of general movies.
There is much more to say, however. In this superhero film, Ryan Reynolds reprises his role as Deadpool, making this movie generally enjoyable, as he seriously pokes at the superhero genre. In a different way, the long and unwieldy film, Watchmen (2009) does something similar, although it is far more depressing in that millions of people have to be killed (apparently) to bring "peace" and save billions. I especially like the drop sequence of this film where almost all of Deadpool's team are killed in one way or another, when in most movies they would have survived, along with his constant ribbing of the X-Men for their issues, declaring that his team are "X-Force" which is kinda funny.
With that, I don't think I have anything else to say about this film and this review has clearly come to a close.
