Dead2009's Review: Deadpool

Ahh Deadpool, the superhero movie you always wanted to see but your parents couldnt take you because it was rated R and that means it's for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY you little pukes. I kid, you'll be able to see this eventually after it comes out on DVD once your folks screen it to make sure it's okay just like they did for GTA...or this case I doubt the latter happened.

If you dont know who Deadpool is, it's the tale of a down to earth guy named Wade Wilson who portrays the ability to have an accelerated healing factor but also a scarred physical appearance. It all goes terribly wrong though as one of the men behind the program, named Ajax, tells him that they are turning people into super slaves that are being sold to some very wealthy customers. He escapes the building after it catches fire but not before being told that his disfigurement cant be cured. Well that's gotta suck.

After this is when our dear friend Wade decides to take up the mantle of Deadpool, a vigilante that wants to take down crime at any costs, including Ajax. No, I'm also not referencing Batman, calm down nerds. This is where the real fun begins and where I give my opinions about this film. I never really read the comics nor paid attention to the character fully but I didnt like the multiple "cock shots". I get it, it's funny to some....but it wasnt funny to me. I guess you have to like subtle humor in which those I didnt like.

The interactions with the 2 X-Men members was hilarious. It's painfully obvious he didnt want to join but Colossus constantly begging him to join reminded you of a guy who kept bugging the hot girl in his class to go out with him on a date. Using dated 90's references on Negasonic Teenage Warhead was also hilarious, which in fact I'm glad this movie was made for adults because all the kids today wouldnt of gotten ANY of the things he was saying, which would of made me smash my head against a rock, or worse.

Last but not least for a superhero movie, this was pretty violent. and I hadnt seen the Deadpool portrayal in X-Men Origins: Wolverine cause I heard that portrayal and that movie for that matter, sucked a good ton. I dont think I've ever seen a superhero film be that brutal with the exception of Punisher: War Zone (which was a good movie, I dont care what anyone says). Ryan Reynolds redeemed himself for the stinker that was Green Lantern (even though I enjoyed that film as well) and I'm looking forward to the sequel....that is unless they butcher it beyond belief and it loses the charm of the first. I give it 5 out of 5...oh and he gets the girl. I forgot to mention that.
