wickedly funny and relentless

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2016)

this is the third of Marvel's recent comedic superhero movies (the previous two being Ant Man and Guardians of the Galaxy) and it's the funniest one yet. they might be on to something here...
The humor is crude, vulgar, and sophomoric (think Family Guy or Superbad), but it's mostly hilarious and all of the meta and Fourth Wall jokes are pretty awesome.
That's not the only thing this fantastic movie has going for it. the action's good, the banter between Deadpool and other characters is top-notch, and the pacing is silky smooth. The movie's less than 2 hours, doesn't have any dull or slow moments, and it grabs your attention from beginning to the end. They flawlessly incorporated Deadpool's fourth wall antics, and from a storytelling perspective the plot moves along smoothly and flashbacks work well when this character's interacting with and guiding the audience throughout.
and finally, we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about Ryan Reynolds. It's tough to overstate how challenging this role is. The whole flick is good, but it's success relies heavily on a protagonist who's in 95+% of the scenes and and spends a large bulk of that time rambling and talking to the audience. And Reynolds kills it. He's so convincing it's hard to see anyone else doing this role.
So go see this movie! They put maximum effort into it, and it's very entertaining.
