Deadpool movie review

Here's what you need to know; after being hideously disfigured in a sinister experiment, Wade Wilson is on a quest for vengeance against his former captor and the cause of his new look, Francis, now gifted with super regenerative powers, his path of vengeance will be stopped by no man.

This is a movie that I wasn't expecting in all honesty, and this may be a shorter review than normal A because it's a fairly straightforward movie, and B because I only really have good things to say. Let's start with the characters, Deadpool is awesome, absolutely awesome, he's everything I wanted him to be based on my limited knowledge of the character and how good this film looked in the trailer. in the action he is brilliant to watch, cleaning house with mercenaries like nobody's business, while simultaneously talking shit and cracking jokes that were more often than not downright hilarious, not just in the crudeness, but, in the times where he breaks the 4th wall, at least for me, pure brilliance, his jokes about Fox and the Xmen film franchise are gold, as are his less meta jokes, and some of those jokes are just vile, which is perfect. the comedy really carries over to the rest of the film though, his girlfriend is repeatedly funny, as is his blind roommate, his friend Weasel, the villain, even the taxi driver is funny as shit, and all of these characters together makes for a film that might actually be funnier than Lazer Team, in my opinion, and I adored the comedy in that film. Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead are less funny, but I doubt they're meant to be, more that Colossus' seriousness and NTW's teenagerness is inherently funny when thrown in with the likes of Deadpool. But this film, while consistently funny, has it's darker and more emotional moments, including a pretty nasty torture sequence, and some more emotional scenes with Deadpool and his girlfriend, when they're not having sex, which is, like the nastier jokes and the action, which we'll get to in a sec, not apologetic in the slightest. the action is violent, very violent, heads explode, limbs fly and there's blood everywhere, the action is also very fast paced, very exciting to watch, and no shaky cam to be found, it's filmed extremely well. The various shootouts are gory and fun, and towards the end there's a vicious 1 on 1 fight going on at the same time as a slightly less vicious 1 on 2 fight, and both of them are awesome to watch. The revenge aspect of the story is also done in a really fun way, as Deadpool tracks down Francis and dismantles his operation one head at a time, equally as well done is the romantic element of the film with his girlfriend, and both of these are handled in the same crude and unapologetic way as the comedy and the violence. here is where I'd start to go into negatives but I really do have none with this film, at least none that stayed with me after watching it a few hours ago. Deadpool is a film that I loved, it was funny as shit, violent as shit, crude as shit, and told a very straightforward and very self aware story of vengeance and romance. all round this film is amazing, and it's absolutely a must watch.
