Review: Deadpool - Marvel super hero plays it for laughs and wild abandon  #Deadpool #Marvel

The term 'super hero' is kind of inappropriate here, with this chemically enhanced jokester with a devil-may-care attitude not being focussed on saving people, but on revenge.  But don't be deterred, there is a hell of a lot to like in the adults only movie.  My partner and I laughed most of the way through, apart from the times I cringed from the violence.  Warning: it's not one for the faint-hearted.
What's to like?
  • Pretty much everything really.  The cast are really good.  Ryan Reynolds (and his butt) as Deadpool; the beautiful Morena Baccarin as Vanessa; and the deliciously loathsome Ed Skrein as Ajax.
  • The plot is actually pretty cool (shock horror) for a comic book movie.  It opens with a visually spectacular action sequence which is intercut with the obligatory backstory of how Deadpool gained his super-healing powers.  Basically he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and this mutant experiment was his only hope of survival.  Of course, things didn't go quite to plan and there is a dastardly villain in need of terminating. 
  • The black humour is wickedly dark and the timing is so totally inappropriate as to be hilarious.
  • Extra-special effects in the action scenes are totally incredible.
  • There were a couple of X-men.  I love the joke that the producers could only afford two.
  • The opening credits are seriously funny and original.
  • There is a beautiful love story at the heart of the movie. 
What I didn't like:
  • The violence was a bit graphic for my tastes, but I'm sure there are many hot-blooded young men who will find it right up their alley
The verdict:
  • I loved it .  Five stars and a round of applause from me.
