Adds something else

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2016)

Deadpool is Deadpool, there is no other way to describe him. We have never see something like this character before in the superhero universe, the closest being Chris Pratts Star Lord. Deadpool is seen as a wise cracking all attention on him kind of guy with eye grabbing displays of action talent and charisma. The red suit anti hero provides a sprinkle of something a little different on a giant Marvel ice-cream. He doesn't try to be your everyday superhero and you need to love him for that, he manages to use any means necessary to take down his foes with creative and and sometimes questionable techniques, like who else would shove a car lighter down a man's throat, other than Deadpool of course. The use of NSFW jokes reinforced the youthfulness feeling of the film but can at sometimes feel a bit cringe and leave the viewer thinking that maybe the studio is trying just a tad too hard as I found myself sitting beside a friend who found every joke funny while I just sat there awkwardly laughing with him for his satisfaction. I didn't say there weren't funny jokes in the film don't get me wrong and the archetype for Deadpool is that of a humorous anti hero, though maybe they needed to tone down the humour a bit as I felt almost as if I was being spoon fed as many jokes as they could fit into the movie. The use of the X-Men took away from the high production value of the film as I felt it was a bit cheap during the scenes whenever we visit the college for mutants as it is as if colossus and whoever the hell the other x-woman is are the only occupants of the entire mansion. Like why were the X men even needed? It was clear that Deadpool didn't accept Collosus's ideologies at the end of the film so basically it was like we were being forced into the X men universe and Collosus's CGI was awful. We can see this movie is a step in the right direction for Ryan Reynolds after having two attempts at a superhero role, I suppose third time is the charm. I am now excited to see him in the next Deadpool and believe he can recreate his career around the success of him and this film. To get down to Deadpool himself, he does the job for me he is portrayed as the Deadpool I wanted to see on the big screen and is an ample display of Marvels talent and use of their base material to create a film, if you enjoyed Deadpool comics you will no doubt enjoy this.
