With the influx of countless superhero movies that have come out now and even more on the horizon, it’s not hard for many movie-goers to feel burned out by their familiar troupes and formula. . . and then along came a film called Deadpool.<\/p>\n

The movie stars Ryan Reynold as Wade Wilson who becomes Deadpool, everyone’s favorite fourth-wall-breaking mercenary as it details his origin, his wacky hi-jinx, and his revenge against the man who created him, Francis Freeman (played by Ed Skrein). Along the way, he teams up with X-men characters Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead as they go on to cause all sorts of mayhem during the later half of the film.<\/p>\n

The film pulls all the stops when it comes to portraying Deadpool’s larger-then-life personality and his\u00a0insatiable\u00a0appetite for obscure pop culture references and “meta-gags,” especially during it’s marketing campaign. Deadpool is a unique hero as he’s both our protagonist and our unreliable narrator but not unreliable in ways you would think. It’s clear that the character is insane but also acknowledges the audience watching for clever jokes which made him such a noteworthy character\u00a0amongst comic fans and the film captures that in spades. Not since Guardians of the Galaxy was there a superhero film that took himself less seriously. But unlike Marvel\/Disney’s offering, this IS NOT<\/strong> a superhero movie you should ever take your children to. The movie’s humor is also very adult with all the violence and vulgarity that definitely earns it it’s R rating.<\/p>\n

If the film has any flaws, it\u00a0is that the humor can get pretty tiring to some as it goes on. Since this film is a comedy, your overall enjoyment will largely depend on your sense of humor and if you haven’t chuckled at any of the trailers, there likely won’t be anything for you. Other then that, it’s a very entertaining film that’s sure to be a breath of fresh air for superhero fans but mostly the older ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
