It did have some issues- the pacing was a bit too fast and the villains weren't great- but there were still plenty of laughs and witty one-liners to keep things going. Overall, Deadpool is a fun, action-packed movie that compensates for its flaws with a script that captures the essence of the foul-mouthed anti-hero and hilarious fourth-wall jokes. Great for Deadpool fans.… Expand

It's own self-awareness, Ryan Reynold's brilliant sense of humour and the hilarious script make for constant laughs and comic relief. But this is only madeWHAT I LIKED: 'Deadpool' is hands down the funniest comic book movie I've ever seen. It's own self-awareness, Ryan Reynold's brilliant sense of humour and the hilarious script make for constant laughs and comic relief. But this is only made possible by a suprisingly good story with a well-developed lead character. You actually care for Wade Wilson and his goal, and the character's use of humour can even be viewed as his own coping mechanism. It's great bloody fun and well worth a watch
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: It doesn't really have a 'middle,' it has it's long first act, and a great last act, but there's nothing in between to flesh the story out. Could they not have cut the first act down a bit to flesh out the story a little?
VERDICT: 'Deadpool' is funny and fresh. It's self-aware humour makes it the funniest comic-book movie out there.… Expand

It was good, and I'm definitely not going to hold it up to hype, as that would not be fair, but whenever he wasn't making a joke or there was a serious scene, it just felt... bad. It brought out the bad in the movie. Like, if felt like a generic superhero movie.

Now, the humor in this movie was phenomenal, and apart from a few **** jokes, it was spot on. I guess in that department it did it's job well, and I guess that's what it sold it's, well, I wouldn't say 'gimmick', but selling point on. I loved it only for the humor, and it was also good at introducing people like me to the character of Deadpool. Sure some of the joke WERE a bit obvious, and they only referenced chimichangas once and taco ZERO TIMES WHICH WAS A MAJOR PART OF DEADPOOL'S CHARACTER but still, it did make a few good jokes.

So, all in all, this was my first review, and I will improve on my reviews in the future. Goodbye.… Expand

A solid 8 out of 10. Not perfect, but nowhere near as bad as some say. Is there violence? Yes. Is there vulgarity? But of course. We even get some sex thrown in for good measure. This is not a "Super Hero" movie. This is an "Anti-Hero"A solid 8 out of 10. Not perfect, but nowhere near as bad as some say. Is there violence? Yes. Is there vulgarity? But of course. We even get some sex thrown in for good measure. This is not a "Super Hero" movie. This is an "Anti-Hero" origin story.
At the theater, there were signs all over stating that this movie was NOT FOR KIDS. Well, if people would get their heads out of their *sses and actually bone up on the source material first before just blinding going to see a movie, (or maybe pay attention the the big "R" rating), then people would know not to take younger viewers to see things like this.

Violence - check.
Vulgarity - super check.
Sex and nudity - I'm gonna touch myself tonight

The action is solid, the comedy is excellent (if you're not offended easily), the acting is decent....
My only real complaint is there are some scenes that just feel out of place. Namely the ones involving some of the other Marvel characters involved. I know that at least a basic introduction is in order, but it, for me, felt out of place and slowed the pacing down.

None the less, I enjoyed it. My wife of 13 years enjoyed it. The surrounding audience seemed to enjoy it (indicated by the repeated outbursts of laughter). I look forward to a sequel, and look forward to seeing what they do with a much bigger budget.

In closing, Deadpool was a fun ride, and a step in the right direction for this underused yet well liked character. But remember kids, this was an ADULT ride. The kiddie rides are over that way 8=======>… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Deadpool is here! And what more could you have asked for with this movie? Raunchy sex jokes, hilarious 4th wall breaking moments, and an amazing actor portraying our "hero". Everything in this film feels so genuine and it's apparent from the first 10 minutes that so much care was put into putting a GOOD Deadpool adaptation on the big screen. Ryan Reynolds is perfect as the Merc with the mouth and no actor could have pulled off what he did with this character. The plot is a pretty simple revenge story but that's all it really had to be. It did it's job very well and the film didn't suffer from not having a more complex story. It's a revenge story. Plain and simple. But pretty well done. The movie is done through flashback segments to Wade Wilson, his love interest, and most importantly, his journey to becoming Deadpool and the reasoning behind his hatred of Francis (Ajax). These flashbacks do the job well but do seem to carry on a little too long towards the halfway point of the movie but they did make me care about Wade Wilson and his journey to becoming Deadpool. The only real problems with Deadpool is the flashback segments get a little drawn out towards the middle of the film, and Francis was a little underdeveloped. The movie did it's job of making you hate the villain which is good but in the end you really don't know anything about him. Just that his name is Francis, he's British and he is responsible for making Wade Wilson a "testicle with teeth". Those are the only negatives to this movie. The humour of Deadpool shines so well throughout the whole movie, Ryan Reynolds kills it as this character and I cared for what was going on. What more could you ask for? Saying this, I am aware Deadpool may not be for everyone. If you don't like his humour in the comics, you won't in the movie. If you think his comedy is juvenile and disgusting, you won't like this film. And while the humour is usually very disgusting and crude it's what makes Deadpool so fun to watch. If you have a good sense of humour and want to watch a funny, well written, "super hero" movie DO NOT skip on Deadpool. This movie was perfect and came out at a perfect time in an over saturated market of super hero movies (and yes Deadpool will reference this) this movie is SO refreshing and the few negatives don't take away anything from this film. If you haven't yet, go see this movie now. You will not be disappointed. You know what you're in for just from the opening credits. Deadpool is very well done and one of the best comedies, Marvel movies and maybe even one of the best in years… Expand

Deadpool is a great representation of what happens when comic fans get the movie they clamor for and not a Hollywood version. Ryan Reynolds lives up to his billing as the crazy but lovable **** Deadpool is fully realized and mixes the dark comedy, 4th wall breaking, and crazy bodily antics of his comic book counterpart.

The movie certainly had a small budget, but it seems to work in the movie's favor. In addition to giving the writers joke opportunities, the small budget forced the producers and director to be creative in their approach to story telling and avoids losing the intimacy with the audience that modern grand scale superhero movies tend to.

The largest issue with the movie is the CG effects. Colossus in particular looks a little to shiny and goofy. The movie could have done with a few more practical effects instead of the somewhat lazy CG used throughout the movie. However, this is a very small gripe. A few jokes occasionally fail to land and some of the side characters are not explored in much depth.

In summation, Deadpool is a greatly entertaining superhero comedy and action flick. If you are averse to gore, sexual activity, or foul language, you may want to avoid this movie. Otherwise, enjoy!… Expand

For the multitudes who feared that, after Fantastic Four, Fox might simply be rummaging too far down into Marvel's basement in search of a few more scraps of lucre, the joke's on them. It takes a little while to get in gear — or perhaps justFor the multitudes who feared that, after Fantastic Four, Fox might simply be rummaging too far down into Marvel's basement in search of a few more scraps of lucre, the joke's on them. It takes a little while to get in gear — or perhaps just to adjust to what's going on here — but once it does, Deadpool drops trou to reveal itself as a really raunchy, very dirty and pretty funny goof on the entire superhero ethos, as well as the first Marvel film to irreverently trash the brand. Just what anyone suffering from genre burnout might appreciate at this point, as well as a big in-joke treat for all but the most reverent fanboys, this film looks to be hitting the market at just the right time — with Christmas releases now in the rearview mirror — to rake in some sweet returns.

Given the surprising amount of nudity, raw sex jokes and nonstop underlined and bold-faced, racy dialogue, it's amusing to picture the countless pubescent boys who will be plotting a way to get into this extremely R-rated romp. Not only does Ryan Reynolds give it his all, shall we say, but the conversations here mostly resemble the sort of thing you'd expect to hear around last call at a Bakersfield biker bar. Or, more to the point, what you'd get if you mashed up the dialogue from the two previous scripts written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, Zombieland and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Last seen decapitated and heading down the chimney of a nuclear plant at the end of X-Men: Origins in 2009, Wade Wilson/Deadpool has always seemed like a tough nut to crack in terms of centering a mass-audience film on him. A brash and brazen mercenary, he's an anti-hero with a film noir lead's taste for the louche and low-down, as well as a character who, in narrative terms, stands out due to his predilection for breaking the fourth wall. Whether he could make the grade as the leading man of a franchise of his own was always a question, which partly accounts for the prolonged wait-and-see on Marvel's part.

Other reasons for hesitation lay in the character not being a superhero like all the others and, if the pic were to be done right, the necessity of an R rating — a place Marvel has never gone before. How to reconcile the brand's image and fan base with such material? The answer probably lies in the fact that Marvel is so successful now, and so far down the line with their various franchises, that shaking things up was seen as permissible and maybe even a good move. Or perhaps executives aware early on of what was happening with Fantastic Four said, “Opposite direction! Now!”

At first, with some strained/cheeky opening credits (“a moody teen,” “a gratuitous cameo”) followed by an emotional-investment-free highway action sequence notable for its splatter gore content, things don't look promising — just wiseass-y and needlessly violent. Who is this guy in red and black spandex with white fabric where eyes should be, who fights with two katanas, spins in the air in slo-mo and has wounds that heal at once? Shoot this guy full of holes and he'll be back at you within seconds. “I may be super, but I'm no hero,” he cracks. Why should we care?

Flash back two years and things seem no better, save, perhaps, for the dude's face, which now plainly belongs to Reynolds. A grown man who hangs at a skateboard park, Wade Wilson is a former Special Forces operative whose watering hole is a dive called Sister Margaret's Home for Wayward Girls, where the guys are all former soldiers of fortune who never hit the jackpot and the gals look like Hooters rejects. Wade and a bitter hooker named Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) hit it off and get it on in a kinky montage that's more out-there than what most Hollywood-made R-rated stuff ever serves up.
It's right around here, and immediately afterward, when Wade is diagnosed as having late-stage cancer, that, ironically, the film really starts to click. When a doctor mentions the possibility of going to Chechnya for special treatment, Wade responds, “Isn't that where you go to get cancer?” and you finally begin to sense that there might be something to this verbal speed-freak character after all.
The positioning of the flashback seems simple but serves the movie extremely well, especially with the arrival of Ajax (Ed Skrein, deeply evil), a doctor and head of something called the WeaponX workshop, who takes Wade on as a reclamation project and turns him into a fighting machine who can never die. Ajax's sadism during the painful transformation process knows no bounds and, at the end of the ordeal, he takes particular pleasure in introducing Wade to his new face, which resembles ground beef (Vanessa's measured reaction to beholding it is, “It's a face … I'd be happy to sit on”).

A longtime commercials and visual effects executive and creative director, Tim Miller hasn't so much directed his first feature as liberated much of what has been bubbling under the surface of superhero films for a long time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ajax was my one real disappointment in the film. He was such a weak villain and, that could have been an opportunity to satirize and comment on bad Marvel villains and they didn't really do that. I wanted there to be a moment where Deadpool called him out asking, "What the **** was your plan, Francis? What was the endgame for all this?" Because Ajax clearly had no purpose in the film except to be the bad guy. Unlike other characters, he seemed to have no life outside of the immediate story.

 What the **** was his plan? It made no sense at all. A villain does not work if he isn't doing the right thing in his own mind. He was making cancer patients into mutant supers. Okay, fine. Good starting point. He himself had been through the process which removed his ability to feel pain and emotions. Could been explored better but okay so far. (stolen from Darkman which explored it better but it's a good starting point) He makes supers to sell, wait, record-scratch, WHAT!?

Okay, he has these shock collar things that make supers into slaves--Somehow? It's never shown. Gina Carano is not wearing any collar. If he had the ability to turn supers into slaves, that is a WAY better tech than his expensive, failure-prone back-alley weapon X program.

Seriously, you have the ability to enslave powerful mutants!?! And that's NOT your main business? Why isn't Magneto looking to destroy this guy? Why isn't he selling these collars to the Government. Surely must be cheaper than Sentinels. I mean, if the collar thing works, he would have basically SOLVED the mutant problem for a lot of people.

(ALSO Sub-note: why not put the collars on people while they go through the process? I mean, if you are making super-humans, WHOM YOU'VE TOLD YOU ARE GOING TO ENSLAVE, seems like you'd want to control them the moment you woke up their powers.)

But, no. He has only one super in his employ, played by Gina Carano. She's not wearing a collar so she's doing it for the Lulz. What's her story? Gotta be more interesting than Ajax's!

He goes up against a guy, whom he KNOWS can survive being burned to a cinder, with regular merc goons. (Who magically didn't come from the Home for Wayward Girls merc Bar run by TJ Miller--did he import them from China?) Ajax already KNOWS that Deadpool goes through these mercs like hot chitlins through margarine but, for the Heli-carrier fight he does it again!

Seriously, he has access to slave collars and an unlimited supply of super-mutated soldiers and he's got an unkillable badass on his tail. "Let's hire run of the mill, mercs again. Don't waste the merchandise on protecting my investment. Oh, whoops, they're all dead in seconds."

Deadpool should have at least commented on how incompetent Francis's plan was. Our fourth-wall-breaking mouthy-merc, who is always saying just what the audience is thinking, failed to mention that Ajax is a dumbass and everyone associated with Back-Alley weapon X is thinking too small.

(ALSO Second side-note: Morena Baccarin shoulda been paste falling off that heli-carrier, head-first, in a steel and glass tube. It was Indy-in-a-Fridge all over again)

So, yeah. Ajax had no plan and did nothing but be the punching bag for Deadpool. He was there to be the bad guy and had no life off screen. bad villain.

Outside of my critiques of the villain, the movie is fine. It's funny (though the shotgun approach to comedy means that not all of the jokes will land) The relationships are interesting. Baccarin and Reynolds are great together (though it's hard to believe the conceit that he might be afraid of her opinion of his looks) It feels like a movie that gives just exactly what the fans wanted but does nothing to exceed expectations. It's plenty entertaining but won't blow anyone's mind.… Expand

Deadpool is absolutely everything anyone could ever want from a Deadpool movie. Brash, fast, not family-friendly, hilarious and bloody, with some excellent fourth-wall breaks, Deadpool is an absolute blast from start to finish.

Firstly,Deadpool is absolutely everything anyone could ever want from a Deadpool movie. Brash, fast, not family-friendly, hilarious and bloody, with some excellent fourth-wall breaks, Deadpool is an absolute blast from start to finish.

Firstly, Ryan Reyonlds has found his perfect role. Though I, for one, was calling for him to play The Flash in the DC Universe, he was entrusted with launching a new DC universe as the Green Lantern, in a horrific and utterly disastrous adaptation of the Justice League hero. Here though, Reyonlds shines as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, and even pokes fun at his previous superhero endeavour in the process. Being much more involved in the production of the movie, having been campaigning for a Deadpool movie for years, Reyonlds has often fallen just short of real stardom in Hollywood, and this role can hopefully relaunch him after previous failures. An origin story fairly true to the comics provides a good storyline that fans of Deadpool or just normal movie-goers will be able to invest in, as it is not complicated or a drag in any way. The music used in this movie, is absolutely outstanding. Keeping up the tone of utter silliness, particular songs or scores used in particular spots in the film just reminds the audience that no-one should take this film seriously, as not even Deadpool himself is taking this film seriously. The dialogue and jokes throughout the movie, including all of the fourth-wall breaks, are completely true to Deadpool and most are hilariously written. Though, sometimes, the jokes do get a little cringe-worthy occasionally, but only occasionally. The little quips and remarks during fights that Deadpool makes however are often brilliant, and one fight in particular had myself and the audience that I watched the movie with in absolute stitches.

Unless you are easily offended or seriously against anything Marvel, there is no doubt that you will love this movie. Deadpool introduces itself to the X-Men universe and, in a way, reshapes it.… Expand

For the first time, I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised by a Ryan Reynolds acting performance having watched him appear in so many naf comedies and what not. The campaign leading up to this film, the performances in the film, the jokes just pointing the finger at Marvel and all the R-rated goodness make it a film to behold. From minute 1 to whatever the last minute is it just enthrals you with the funny pokes at Marvel and Reynold's in real life, the gripping love story between him and Morena Baccarin and of course the incorporation of the X-Men universe to add to all its glory.

All I can say is, I cannot wait for no.2 with Cable, who I am yet to be introduced to in any form and that if you don't watch this, especially if you're genuinely a self-proclaimed superhero fan, you'll be missing out massively. It's such a fun watch and one that will peak your interest even more in the upcoming X-Men Apocalypse movie.… Expand

Ryan Reynolds steals the show and creates a compelling character. With well-timed jokes (of the witty and rude varieties) and classy characterisation, he takes a character from stencil to screen with surprising accuracy and wit. Props to the writers too, who, as the opening credits scene self-referentially tells us, are the 'true heroes' of Deadpool.

With enough fourth-wall breaks to have to build a new house, and humour which, while some may find it immature and childish, keeps the true intent of Deadpool pure as the man in red spandex can be. That is, irreverent and profane, but you get what I'm saying. You will never see a baby's hand or a unicorn in the same light again.

The score contains a mix of classy contemporary pieces with a decent, but not outstanding, original score, artfully devised by the fiendish plotting of Tom Holkenborg, perhaps better known as Junkie XL, with scores to Mad Max: Fury Road and Spider-Man 2 under his belt.

All-in-all, it is a film with clever wit and made with decent filmmaking prowess which can be mixed into a glass, given to a hunk and start a bar-fight. A must-see before it leaves cinemas.… Expand

2016 has its first blockbuster, although that isn’t saying much, as January is usually the oasis month of the film year. But more than a blockbuster,For starters - You can follow The Movie Spot on Twitter (@themoviespot_) and Facebook!

2016 has its first blockbuster, although that isn’t saying much, as January is usually the oasis month of the film year. But more than a blockbuster, the start of something revolutionary has begun with Deadpool. The amount of superhero movies coming out over the next 5 years, with a whopping 24 comic films hitting the big screen. And that’s not counting all of the Marvel Netflix shows and all of the TV shows that DC continues to churn out.

Deadpool may be the best comic to film adaptation done by either Marvel or DC, staying true and capturing the true nature that all hardcore comic book lovers will thoroughly enjoy. And although the casual fans may not know the story or care for the origins, they can still enjoy the brutality and uncensored mercenary that is Wade Wilson.And trust me, if there is one thing done right in this film, it is everything about the main character. The detailed backstory, endless banter that leaves you howling with laughter, continuously breaking the 4th wall that borderlines on played out, but still works every now and then. Ryan Reynolds knocks it out of the park, as many had predicted many years before the film ever went into production. It’s his role, and should be his for a long time, akin to fellow 20th Century Fox colleague and staple, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

There’s not much that Deadpool does wrong, as it spends most of the time building around the title character, for better or worse. For all of the screen time given to Reynolds, it doesn’t leave much for developing other characters or developing other parts of the story beyond the main backstory and all of its inbetweens. And for all of the characters we were introduced to, including the villains, if you had to answer the “Five W’s”, it would be difficult to answer all of them. I have a pet peeve when it comes to any comic book film, and that is a weak villain. Our villain here being Ajax, played by Ed Skrein, the enhanced superhuman who can feel no pain. I can gladly say that I didn’t find Ajax to be weak, as creating Deadpool ranks high enough for me but playing back into lack of backstory hurts why I should care. In theory, and as spoiler free as I can get, curing the terminally ill to turn them into “superslaves” for an end goal never truly stated doesn’t sell me.

My only other gripe was the sometimes unrelenting breaking of the 4th wall done by Deadpool. It’s an expected thing, and was happy when it showed up the first couple of times. As the movie progresses, it seems to happen like clockwork, and at times where I could have done without. There’s a clear reason for the wit of the character, and to tone down Deadpool, even just a little, feels wrong. But, too much of a good thing can ruin said good thing.

All in all, Deadpool is exactly what every fan envisioned it would be when first announced. A heavy action/comedy that wows you its absurd amount of violence as much as it does the brilliant one-liners. Don’t bring the kids, this is not a drill, not a joke. Your kids could be scarred by what is shown and said, but hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you.… Expand

Ryan Reynolds with all my heart hurt for the project, and in the film it felt. I didn't have high expectations, although I was anticipating how they could use this crazy character. The film is good, but not brilliant. It is average. The plot is crude, and very predictable, it's no surprise. Deadpool is constantly talking. that he is not a hero, but we need to show that he is not a hero. In the film he is a real sweet hero. Deadpool almost never uses the reception of fracture the fourth wall, and when used, it is very weak. The jokes are sometimes funny, but mostly tasteless. The R rating is hardly used, and when used for weak body parts or tasteless jokes. The main villain is very weak, we know nothing about him, although I can tolerate. About other heroes and villains we know nothing. But this film is about Deadpool, and he's still as fun and crazy as in the comics. I hope the sequel will reveal more features of the hero and write an interesting story.… Expand
