A Nice Change - Something Original For Once

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2016)

I had never heard of 'Dead pool' and i'm certainly not a 'fan boy'of the super hero comics.
I liked the look of the trailer so went to see it.
It's very graphic, violent, bad language, sexual scenes etc A film not for prudes. But it does seem to work and I found it both funny and entertaining. Ryan Reynolds really excels in the role.
Deadpool is a sort of self aware, antihero, cool bad guy who underneath is a sort of good guy. He's also aware he's a comic/film character and talks to the audience - which surprisingly works too. The general plot is pretty typical for the genre but Reynolds as deadpool is what makes it stand out and is virtually continuously funny.
My only mild criticism is I think they could have made the plot stronger and enhanced the suffering/development of the Deadpool character.
I'd give it 7.5/10 as an action packed unusual superhero romp, that will entertain and amuse for the entire 108minutes.
I'd also give it a 9/10 for being original and different. A film that is worth paying to see.
