Deadpool Is A Winner For Marvel

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2016)

I have to admit that I am a huge fan of Deadpool. After reading the comics and trades, I was excited when Marvel announced that they were finally going to make a Deadpool movie.
I had liked Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern but when I found out that he was cast to play Wade Wilson, the merc with a mouth, I was one happy fangirl, and I have to say, he did not disappoint.
Marvel had fun with this film, all the characters were perfectly cast. It was fun watching Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) interacting with Deadpool, trading snark for snark while Colossus (Stefan Kapičić as the voice of Colossus,) is trying in vain to appeal to Deadpool's (better, saner?) side without success. Ajax and Angel Dust (Ed Skrein and Gina Carano) were good strong villains but it was Leslie Uggams as Blind Al that really stole the movie.
The rest of the supporting cast played their roles well and created a good strong background for the main cast.
It was also nice to see that Marvel finally got Deadpool's character right for a change and I loved the fact that Deadpool's constantly breaking the fourth wall was included and a brief glimpse of Bob popped up to the delight of the audience.
The movie was filled with chaotic images and kept up a frantic pace that suited the movie perfectly. The constant tongue-in-cheek references and humour kept the movie from becoming too dark.
All in all, Deadpool was a winner and I am looking forward to the sequel.
