Fantastic Spoof of Superhero Films

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2016)

From the outstanding opening credits to the hilarious post-credit scene, Deadpool breathes life into the superhero genre by essentially making fun of it. Ryan Reynolds is the perfect voice of this mockery, as he has experienced failure in the genre firsthand, twice. He might just be the finest casting choice for a superhero ever. He captures the humor perfectly. The film handles the origin story well by depicting Wade as Deadpool at the beginning and then switching back and forth between his origin and his current fight. The action sequences are very well done and not repetitive. Deadpool is a reminder that superhero movies can bring new things to the table without trying to set up a sequel.
