I would have never imagined that such a cluster of gore, violence, swearing and casual misogyny would combine to make such an amalgamated block of perfection. Deadpool does this.
To cut to the chase Deadpool does everything I wanted it to.
The film is exactly how any fan of the character would want it. The fourth wall is continually broken, sarcasm is high and if anything serious comes up it is simply made fun of.
I have waited so long for this film, even since it was released it's taken me a fortnight of hearing how amazing it was before I was able to find the time to plan a trip to the cinema.
And man it was worth the wait.
From the opening sequence to the post credits scene everything is exactly how I pictured it.
I think this is the first time I've had a smile on my face throughout an entire film.
I especially loved the transitions from present day to origin story. It really helped break up the action and made sure we got straight into the film, rather than being slowly dragged into a character who has nothing of this nature about him.
Ryan Reynolds shines. He really is the perfect (and I know I'm throwing that word around a lot) actor for the role. His passion for the character and the franchise is noted and appreciated.
The addition of two X-Men is a great decision. Even if it is just because, as we are told by our hero in red, it's all the film studio could afford.
Colossus acts as a great counterpart to Wade Wilson, bringing true goodness to the film as he attempts to keep the language and violence to a minimum. This is juxtaposition at it's finest.
Then we have mega emo 'mom it's not a phase' teen girl who gives Deadpool unlimited ammo for mockery. Also known as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, this new character was a pleasant surprise from the film, and she turns out to be a total badass in battle.
The bad guys are fine for this films purpose, maybe a little bland but we don't want anybody to outshine our main man. Even if we are teased with mentions of the likes of Wolverine.
There may be plenty of great superhero films coming out in the near future, but none of them will be quite the experience Deadpool was. It instantly becomes one of my all-time favourites.
