Loved It!!

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2016)

Very few times have I ever fallen head-over-heels for movie...in its opening credits!! Such was the case for "Deadpool." I mean, when the credits display "Directed By: Some Tool," I knew I was in for a good time.
Due to a complete loss of any kind of imagination, recently movie goers have been inundated with every movie imaginable concerning Marvel and its "super heroes." Most have been huge disappointments, some were "meh," and very few were actually entertaining. "Deadpool" had me from start to finish. I mean, c'mon, who could not like a character by the name of "Negasonic Teenage Warhead"?!
It is a story about a former Special Ops mercenary, Wade Wilson, played remarkably well by Ryan Reynolds. He is trying to get out of the business, but as luck would have it, he just cannot seem to break free. He falls in love and when he finally musters the courage to pop the question, receives some awful news.
Even the villain in this movie was a cut above the rest. "Ajax," who seems to have a narcissistic personality, was completely bad- ass. He was also superbly played by Ed Skrein, who, if memory serves me correctly, was formerly in "Game of Thrones." His sidekick, although not named, was one tough broad.
This movie lasts 108 minutes and is rated "R" for non-stop graphic violence, language, simulated sex, and nudity. Other reviews I have read list "graphic nudity." I do not even know what that is. If you're nude, you're nude; there's nothing graphic about that.
Anyhoo, I cannot recommend this enough. If this site had "half- stars," this would definitely garner a 9.5 from me. Enjoy yourself.
