Deadpool: Film Review (www.revelryreview.com)

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2016)

I really really loved Deadpool, I went into the cinema with high expectations, and I came out with none of my expectations broken or exceeded, I left feeling content and happy knowing that this movie matched how awesome the trailer looked. Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool had me from the beginning of it's inception, I don't think any other actor could play the role as well as he did.
The storytelling was extremely inventive, given how long the run- time was (1hr 48min) it felt as though there was minimal plot to the movie, however it was the way it was told that grabbed me and kept me enthralled from start to finish, the protagonist is thrown right into the action from the word go and from then on it goes back and forth in it's storytelling of this insane yet charming character named Deadpool and how he came to be. Flashbacks in movies usually annoy the heck out of me, but in this one it was done right with no boring scenes only coming across as fresh and exciting.
The action was such a beautiful creation in this movie, every scene beautifully showing off it's gloriously gory head-shots, the pacing is almost perfect in this movie as it never comes to a standstill or dull point, the story movies seamlessly. Underneath all of the action is the fantastic chemistry between Ryan and his co star Morena Baccarin, beneath all of the carnage shone a great love story which mixed well into the movie, it had a strong emotional core to it which I think is the best that has been seen in any Marvel movie yet.
The humor was fantastic, whilst not all of the jokes hit well or even if some of the references were not understood, there was enough ingenious humour in the movie to keep the laughs rolling.
Being Tim Millers directorial debut this has amazed me, watching this movie you would think it was from a Hollywood veteran from the way it was shot, to the pacing and to the amazing casting it was almost a perfect movie. Given that it took 10 years for this movie finally to be developed and released it was definitely a long time coming with Fox holding out on the release as they thought it would not gain any interest. Whilst I think that it was true back 10 years ago, now was the perfect time for it's release as all of the other superhero films are gaining momentum.
The marketing of the film is probably the main contributor to it's success, the way it reached out to different countries is what made it so unique and the way it portrayed itself as a 'Valentines Day' film is what was interesting as it was released over that weekend. It had the biggest opening of any R rated movie and the studio can thank the marketing team for that effort.
Despite all of it's extremely minor quips this movie takes the cake as my favorite Marvel movie yet. VERDICT: 9/10
