Brilliantly witty, entertaining and emotionally engaging. A Brilliant new way to tell tired old superhero stories.

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2018)

I've heard it being talked about but only saw it last week for the first time. In terms of its genre, it's a brilliant movie, well crafted story line, brilliantly scripted. It does something different with the super hero we've never seen like this before. He's lovable, the story is heart wrenching, you (I) want him to beat the hell out of the evil villains he's fighting. I've never experienced that before about a villain in a superhero movie. Usually the villains are very stereotypical and don't evoke the passion Deadpool did for me. I really really wanted to see the horrible man squashed to smithereens for being so evil and inflicting so much pain on innocent people.
Daredevil's villain was suitably evil and cold but the characterisation didn't evoke such a strong emotional response for me.
I'm not a batman or superman fan, but I do love a bit of science fiction, and Deadpool ventures far enough into a bit of sciency reasoning for his superpowers to fascinate me. The fight scenes I'm usually just waiting for them to end so we can move onto the next story, but with Deadpool they were interesting, they weren't just bashing each other up in cool ways, they had wit and humour in them, which I loved.
