A bit too hyped but a solid movie.

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2016)

Ah, Deadpool. It was hyped so high and smashed it in the box office. A 'superhero' movie that's rated R. I did not go and see it in cinemas due to the fact that most seats were booked for a while and apparently kids were being taken by their parents which is not very responsible but that aside, I have sort of been delaying the watching of this movie simply because I had high hopes and I did not want them to be destroyed like they usually are.
Before I watched the movie, I was told that Deadpool was a hero but not really. I've heard that he has some sort of mental disorder, can be quite lewd and raw but that is what makes him so fun and relatable. I knew that the movie was gory and also quite sexual, given the R rating.
Overall, I think the movie was quite entertaining. I did not know too much about the character: what his motive was, his back story etc. so it was hard to judge or have expectations of him. I think Ryan Reynolds was great as Deadpool and I don't know if anyone could do it better.
Deadpool is not my favourite character but I understand him and like him to a degree. People may call me a party pooper but I am not a fan of his lewdness. I don't believe he's a bad character, however. As for the other characters, I had no clue who they were. I particularly liked Colossus. Vanessa wasn't too bad either being the protagonist's love interest. The other characters were mediocre but I didn't necessarily hate them.
The movie itself was great in terms of camera angles, lighting, direction etc. I actually don't remember much of the music apart from the end so I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Story was solid. I really enjoyed the narration and the way that the story was told by starting with a hook and going back. It gave the right amount of information and in such a way that makes the audience interested the whole way through.
Rewatch value: I would rewatch it with someone who has never seen it before but it's unlikely I'll watch it again from start to finish, seriously. It's quite hard to just have this movie as a background thing since it cuts and the story is important. I would have rated this a 7 but I'll give it to Deadpool for being charming.
