A true Deadpool comic on film.

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2016)

Although we might all agree that the comic book "superhero" genre has been handled well by Marvel Studios in most of their movies, and occasionally by DC/Warner, FOX and Sony, I think we didn't have many nearly perfect adaptations yet, that capture the source material's feel perfectly and completely "nail" the characters. In such a short list - probably lead by Nolan's Batman trilogy - Deadpool came in to claim a special place.
Specially after such an unspeakable crime against the character, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, this movie not only mends that destruction, but also gives us a Deadpool that really feels like he just came out directly from one of his comics. This Deadpool movie feels like a Deadpool comic, and that's the best compliment we can offer a comic book movie.
Being Deadpool one of my two favorite comic book characters ever, I admit I was immensely hyped (I'm waiting for this movie since before it was even a real possibility). I certainly have a few minor issues with the movie, but overall it's everything a Deadpool movie should be.
Ryan Reynolds was great and probably had his best performance ever, and the script was brilliantly tailored, as if made by Wade Wilson himself.
In all honesty, I'd rate this movie as a high and steady 8. I admit that the little edge that pushes it to my 9 is happiness in finally seeing my beloved character so brilliantly portrayed.
