Deadpool not so dead on arrival

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2016)

Now as this is my first review I may be a bit rough around the edges but j felt so strongly about this subject matter I felt I needed to at least put my voice out there and add my two cents to the mix. Firstly, anyone who sees this will laugh, there isn't a joke on any level both crass and base or high brow that won't raise at least a giggle. I've been following deadpool since his 1997 comic run until the early 2000's and this movie follows along some of these parallels and it does them well while still in keeping with its own thing. Secondly. Ryan Reynolds is a huge fan of the character and it shows, in every way, every line, every frame, every movement. Bryan Singer who created the movie world of the Xmen should watch this and hang his head in shame. Not full of allegories of homosexuality and discrimination with a few fights and comic names thrown into the mix to make you think "oh it's an Xmen movie" no! This is the real deal. There's only 2 count them 2 Xmen at all in the movie and not only does the film get one spot on (colossus) but the other is actually improved upon and given real character and a sure on fan base for the future. Yes there are some details wrong and I could pick apart every small issue like the emotional scenes aren't as good as they could be or the villains not really fleshed out hell even T.j Miller could have used more screen time he was perfect in this.
Really from start to finish it is what it says on the tin Deadpool. It's a labor of love and it shows (unlike those OTHER Xmen movies not including the most recent ones) right from the choice of music and the little in jokes like fighting over ikea furniture of all things is hilariously glorious. As also the point of do not bring kids to see this. A family left the movie theater shortly after the film started and I do wonder the logic of parents. Just because he appeared in ultimate Spider-Man does not mean THIS is for kids, far from it.
Pick up the comics, see the movie and I am sure you'll be a Deadpool fan yet. Let's hope and pray Xmen apocalypse even comes close to this, also yes end credits scene so stick around true believers.
