Deadpool is the long awaited movie based on a popular character from the Marvel X-Men universe. Wade Wilson(Ryan Reynolds) is a former Special Forces operative turned mercenary who doesn't consider himself a good guy (despite helping good people in his work). When Wade meets Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), who is as warped and twisted as he is, life seems to working out for them both. When things go south after Wade is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he makes a choice to join an experimental research to cure it. The experiment left him cured with healing factor.It also left him disfigured and his level of warped and twisted cranked up, on a scale from 1-10, to 13. Wade, as Deadpool, wants to exact revenge on the people conducting the experiment and get his life back. The movie is told in Deadpool's point of view, which doesn't go in chronological order (if you need that stability in your movies, this is the wrong movie for you). Deadpool is a super Meta(think Abed from Community with violent tendencies) action packed movie. The opening scene of the movie is evidence of its "wink and a nod" approach with the audience. There is so many references and jokes in the movie that you might need to see it two or three times to catch them all. Ryan Reynolds is amazing in the role and the cast is pretty good. Deadpool works because it lets the people in the audience have fun with that voice in their head when they are watching movies anyway. There is a line in the movie that gets repeated more than it should but that's a slight annoyance. You don't have to watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine because it doesn't have anything to do with this movie(that movie was a crappy alternate universe). If you did, the movie is self aware of what people thought about that movie. I definitely recommend people to see this movie and stay after the credits when you do.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
