You can hate him just as much as you love him.

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2019)

Hardly give films 9/10s, the only other films I've given that to are Space Odyssey And Back to The future.
Deadpool is an interesting film to study. In theory this film should be a total train wreck, with a form of comedy that is hard to nail. I think what makes Deadpool make this work is that the fourth wall jokes aren't the only source of comedy, being there is slap stick, character driven and visual comedy to boot. I feel that Deadpool's entire story is a fourth wall break, seemingly every character acts in a strange and vile way, such as Wades girlfriend reacting how anyone would after seeing Wades face instead of power couple "You're still beautiful" line being thrown in, she instead reacts how someone actually would, playing a standard trope for a joke, by making the characters more nuisanced. The fact that the plot is very predictable as well, which though is a down fall of the film is the entire point and why I prefer this one over the sequel, as it just sticks to a standard superhero story.
Overall, though the reception of this film can be seen as mixed, in my opinion this is one of the best Superhero films, ever, and though it will fade into obscurity due to the new instalments in the fantastic MCU, I will always remember this as one of my favourites.
