Fast, funny, and gleefully profane, the fourth-wall-busting Deadpool subverts superhero film formula with wildly entertaining — and decidedly non-family-friendly — results.
Deadpool is the perfect movie for anyone who loves a good antihero. It’s a hilarious, hyper-violent ride that will have you laughing and cringing at the same time. Ryan Reynolds is absolutely perfect in the role, and the pop culture references and witty asides are packed in so tightly that you’ll need to watch it multiple times just to catch them all. Sure, it’s occasionally a little too rude and crude, but that’s all part of the fun. If you’re tired of bloated superhero movies, Deadpool is the stylishly salty antidote you’ve been waiting for.

Who needs a hero when you can have an entertaining antihero?

This is a fun, hyper-violent, gleefully perverse frolic into the super-powered absurd.

TOP CRITIC
As far as origin stories go, this one’s a blast, in no small measure due to Reynolds, who clearly relishes the part, and director Tim Miller, who keeps you entertained and amused throughout.

Watching the film is like sitting at dinner with a teen-ager who believes that, if he swears long and loudly enough, he will shock the grownups into accepting him as one of their own.

TOP CRITIC
Flamboyantly vulgar and determinedly self-referential, Deadpool has the shape of a superhero movie but the soul of a Danny McBride flick.

That Deadpool was ever made is something of a small miracle. That it’s satisfying from a fan perspective is another miracle.

Deadpool is a stylishly salty antidote to bloated recent superhero movies like last year’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

While there are still solid laughs to be found, it reneges on the promise of the early scenes. And when dealing with mercenaries, especially a merc with a mouth, you never renege on a promise.

Battleship Pretension
It’s occasionally a little too rude and crude, bloody and bowed for it’s own good but at least it tries to do something a little different in the well-worn context of the superhero genre.

It’s easy to make a superhero film nowadays. However, a film is nothing without great writers that understand the character and an actor that is passionate about it. Ryan Reynold IS Deadpool.

Plot
After losing Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), the love of his life, 4th-wall breaking mercenary Wade Wilson aka Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) must assemble a team and protect a young, fat mutant Russell Collins aka Firefist (Julian Dennison) from Cable (Josh Brolin), a no-nonsense, dangerous cyborg from the future, and must also learn the most important lesson of all: to be part of a family again.
