Deadpool is definitely Ryan Reynolds’ best acting yet. This role is very different from anything he has played before. He typically plays a character in a romantic comedy, but this film brings out his true comedic side. This is a must see film whether you like comic books or not!
This film was written by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and directed by Tim Miller, starring Ryan Reynolds as the superhero and Ed Skrein as the villain. Of course, there is also Vanessa, Deadpool’s love interest, played by Morena Baccarin. Based on its R rating, vulgar language, and racy comments, it definitely isn’t a movie for a family night out.
Reynolds’ character, Wade Wilson, was a former Special Forces operative that later in life was diagnosed with cancer. On the verge of dying, a man comes to him saying he can heal his disease. Figuring he has nothing to lose, he goes with the mysterious man. After undergoing an experiment, he has the ability to heal very quickly, which led to him becoming Deadpool.
This movie dives right into the action and violence. It doesn’t stop there either. The action continues throughout the movie and about 90% of it is also humor. It is also one of the few to get an R rating. Films like X-Men, Avengers, Spiderman, and Batman, all have PG-13 ratings. These heroes don’t use crude language or swears and try their best to help others. Deadpool doesn’t think of himself as a hero. He does things more for himself than for others. This character is so unique and unlike any other superhero that it is bound to draw in more viewers than any other superhero film.
Not only is the plot great, but so are the costumes and special effects. One character, called Colossus, is a seven foot giant made of metal. Every character brought out in this movie played a part in making it complete.
Making about $55 million, Deadpool has come in first for the box office for its opening weekend. It is expected to make a total of $235.4 million, so if you love comedy, action, violence, and don’t mind raunchy, sexual, and vulgar language, then this is the movie for you! It is a must see for 2016.
