Good, wholesome fun and entertainment...

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2016)

Normally I am not overly keen on superhero movies, but all that I know who have seen "Deadpool" has been overly excited and thrilled about it, so I decided to cave in an give it a go, and check if it really was as fun and entertaining as everyone said it was.
And they were right! Wow, "Deadpool" is a fantastic combination of action, comedy, satire and spoofs. The story in the movie is fairly straight forward, actually bordering on being generic. But it was the sly remarks, the physical comedy of the Wade/Deadpool character that really made the movie work out so nicely. And Ryan Reynolds, despite already having played other superhero roles, really was nicely cast for the Deadpool character.
The audience is thrown into the fray right from the very beginning, and the movie kicks up into an impressive gear and high speed from the very start, and it never slows down.
The cast in "Deadpool" were doing some good jobs with their given roles and characters. And I must admit that I was more than genuinely impressed with what Ryan Reynolds (playing Wade / Deadpool) managed to deliver with his part in this movie. But also Morena Baccarin (playing Vanessa) really brought something good to the movie with her skills and on-screen charisma. And T.J. Miller really had a great part in the movie, despite it not being a prominent character.
There is a lot of action throughout the course of "Deadpool", which was really well choreographed and equally well executed.
I will say that "Deadpool" is without a doubt the best superhero movie that I have ever seen. And it is definitely well worth watching, even if you like me, am not a particular fan of superhero movies. Deadpool manages to score a rock-solid eight out of ten stars from me.
