Ridiculously Entertaining Superhero Origin Story!

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2016)

Deadpool is quite the time you can have well spent at the movies; an entertaining, funny, if somewhat dark first outing for a cult favourite Marvel Comics character. The movie isn't perfect, but really, what movie is completely flawless anyway? Deadpool kept me entertained from start to finish, and dare I say that I found this more enjoyable than Marvel's Age of Ultron? Well I'm sticking by that verdict.
Deadpool is a breath of fresh air for superhero cinema and has a lot of blood to shed for newcomers to 20th century Fox's Xmen franchise. I didn't know exactly what to expect going in to the session, but boy oh boy does Deadpool deliver in terms of entertainment. It does get a little bumpy some of the time, but even after those little imperfect moments it never loses focus of its fourth-wall breaking and downright absurd take on the superhero origin setup story.
Deadpool is worth the trip to the cinema: see it before he's all out of chimichangas.
