Time to make the chimichungas!

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2016)

Superhero movies always navigate a very narrow furrow that can easily slip into self- parody or unintentional laughs.
What is impressive about 'Deadpool' is that it tests the edges of both mainstream superhero movie franchises and the validity of comic book sacred cows.
Marvel was ever the more fun comic house than DC and as a comic book Deadpool was a melange of underground comic humour and coolly wrought ultraviolence from British comic books.
All of this is present and correct in a film that absolutely knows it is a reboot - and tells you - breaks the fourth wall into jokes about the fact it knows it is a movie and contains genuinely funny and poignant moments.
That the film plays ultra fast and ultra loose with the medium yet makes you care about and want to see further adventures of this Deadpool on the big screen is testament to what Hollywood long thought a risk.
For year the most profitable comic-book adaptation was 'The Mask'. More films should have been made like it and here us why.
Go see it with a big crowd and enjoy. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want chimichungas.
