Deadpool Film Review


Finished watching Deadpool directed by Tim Miller and starring 
Ryan Reynolds, Karan Soni, Ed Skrein, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, Stefan Kapičić, Brianna Hildebrand and T.J Miller. The film opens with Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) in the backseat of a taxi where he meets the driver Dopinder (Karan Soni) as Deadpool is dropped of in the middle of a motorway as he attacks a convoy of vehicles under the command of Ajax (Ed Skrein) who Deadpool has decided to hunt down in hope to make him look normal again, ever since Wade left his fiancé Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) to go to Ajax's laboratory where he and his assistant Angel Dust (Gina Carano) turns him into Deadpool while hoping to cure his multiple cancers. The fight between Ajax and Deadpool is quickly ended when X-Men Colossus (Stefan Kapičić) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) arrive to bring Deadpool in which leads to a chain of events to happen as Ajax escapes with the information that Deadpool is Wade Wilson and had survived the tortures within his laboratory. Overall this was a great film as it dived into the origin and backstory of the character extremely well by giving Deadpool a very constructive story that's very interesting and has a lot of heart within it. The structure of the film is very intriguing as the story that lead to the beginning of the film is shown during breaks between the main action as Deadpool breaks the 4th wall to show the many different events in his life that lead him to the beginning of the film. The comedy is brilliant as right from the opening credits containing a detailed screen shot of a fight scene with funny nicknames for the cast and crew of the film to the hilarious post credits scene where Deadpool seemingly announces his own sequel there's barely no rest on the comedy which hits every beat especially from characters such as Deadpool and even for his best friend Weasel (T.J Miller). The fight scenes are great as they are corregraphed extremely well in places that help with the comedic feel of the film while the use of slow motion within parts helps to emphasise on the detail of the injuries people have sustained. 8.5/10.
