Lives up to the hype

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2016)

Deadpool has been much talk of the 2016 calendar year. Since the film became a huge success at the box office and was critically acclaimed through several critics throughout. Deadpool in spite, is a super-powered revenge-seeker who, like many superheroes, is quick with the wisecracks. However, what makes this film stand out is its obvious hard R-rating- they let Reynolds make a ton a unnecessary and profane jokes throughout, though it works and many of the gags and one- liners we hear are quite clever and makes for great entertainment. Ryan Reynolds really makes quite a turn as Deadpool- one of his passion projects he had for years, but is now finally coming to fruition. Besides, the lead character, the supporting characters bring energy to the film and are great in watching.
The fourth wall breaking is part of the film's uniqueness, which is something we have rarely seen in superhero films. And in Deadpool, it really does add another great layer. The film isn't too long which works out great because it doesn't feel like it drags at anyone point (compared to the typical superhero film in today's age- which are usually always over two hours long. Deadpool has been compared to Kick-Ass and in some ways to Hancock (2008 film starring Will Smith), however, as an overall film- Deadpool is greater. As a second time around watching 02/25/17' this film gets better, the jokes are are clever and the fourth wall breaking is what makes Deadpool stand out. Looking forward to the sequel.
