Not Perfect, but a Ton of Fun

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2019)

This movie tells a familiar origin story, and the villain is the same warped megalomaniac you've seen in every superhero film since superhero films invaded our theatres, but the writers found a way to make this story seem fresh, mainly by poking fun of superhero movies throughout the film. By writing an ultra powerful character who is, in a sense, a dick, the writers have brought new life to an incredibly formulaic storyline. "Deadpool" isn't a perfect film, but it sure is a lot of fun.
