Deadpool


There are a lot of highly anticipated movies coming to the big screen this year, and this is one of those movies I was eager to watch. This being the first rated R superhero movie, in a long time, since the "Punisher" starring Dolph Lundgren back in the 80's. Anyway, lets get to the review for the movie about the merc with the mouth:


Deadpool- This character wasn't always the popular choice of everyone when he first hit the comic scene something years ago. In fact, he only became extremely popular a few years ago, when he received his own comic title, and new writers focusing on being a funny comic. Readers responded well to this change, making the merc with the mouth instant stardom with cosplayers and comic book fans alike. Years ago, fans were extremely excited when it was revealed Ryan Reynolds would be playing the character in "X-MEN Origins: Wolverine", which was a huge let down, and fans were outraged when the one thing that makes Deadpool great was removed, his mouth.

Plot- This is origin story about how Deadpool aka Wade Wilson obtained his powers, and became what he is today. He is a mercenary for hire, who meets a woman he completely falls for, and everything appears to be going his way. Until, he is diagnosed with terminal cancer in multiple vital organs of his body. Deadpool is approached by a man stating he can cure the cancer, and desperate to become cured for the woman he loves, Wade goes through the process. Unfortunately, it has side effects to his physical appearance, and outraged by this, he vows revenge on the person that did this to him known as Francis.

This movie followed the exact formula that makes the Deadpool character amazing in every aspect of the word. The humor is spot on and Ryan Reynolds does the character justice this time around. There were some parts of the movie, where they poked fun at the first deadpool or green lantern, and it was like Ryan Reynolds mocking his movie mistakes with the fans. If you're a fan of the superhero genre this is a movie you MUST see in theaters. A warning though, do NOT bring your children to see this movie, because it is not your neighborhood spider-man type of movie. Violence and some sex scenes, this was made for the true fans not the family.

Final Verdict- 10/10, a must see in theaters, this time the character got his just desserts.

More anticipated movies coming out this year and I will see them all. This is Phil Goes to the Movies, so you don't have to!
