Deadpool movie review

So far throughout the 2016 film season the most memorable and enticing is the blockbuster action film “Deadpool” staring the actor Ryan Reynolds for role of Wade Wilson and the voice of his alter ego Deadpool. Being an adaptation of the popular Marvel comic book series, the film allows many longtime fans of the beloved character to rejoice with laughter towards the comical acting scenes, action sequences, and the multiple fourth wall breaking. The film appears to follow the same set of beats as we learn about the witty, dark, and sarcastic Wade Wilson and his quest to get revenge on the man that changed his life (and face but he doesn’t know that at first) forever. At the start of the film we’re transported right into a frozen action scene filled with very comical CGI animation, and then transported right into the first action sequence of the film. Once the action is concluded with the hilarious bullet counting scene we receive a fourth wall break phenomenon which leads into one of many back story sequences that allows us to explore the past of Wade Wilson and how he became the trash talking comedian Deadpool. As I was watching the film I sometimes thought I was watching a biopic due to how depth the backstory sequences went making me almost feel like it the character Wade Wilson was an actual person that existed in history and not a part of fiction. The overall most exuberant part of the film had to be the main action sequence that took part throughout half film. The amount of editing that went into the opening credit sequence alone is just incredible to behold as we see Deadpool taking on multiple villains at once within frozen CGI frame while the credits roll around the different segments of the frozen fight. Then once we go back in time a few seconds later and see the whole fight unfold the audience is aw stricken by not only the action but by all the incredible one liners and easter eggs that were included. Then we can’t forget all the X-Men references that were put into the film along with all the past films that Ryan Reynolds had stared in but despised, which put off the big screw you vibe to his past films making it all greater to watch. As stated by Christopher Orr a film reviewer for The Atlantic, “Flamboyantly vulgar and determinedly self-referential, Deadpool has the shape of a superhero movie but the soul of a Danny McBride flick”. Orr can’t be any more wrong for the film give you everything a superhero flick would have including the spandex, while also having things they don’t have which is large quantities of foul language. Overall film is a must see if you already haven’t already and it is a shame that it received no nomination at the Academy Awards.
