Deadpool Review

Deadpool shocked the box offices with the biggest solo superhero movie opening. This is a movie that People Magazine called, “a deeply funny” comedy and says that Deadpool is a, “relatable mutant hero.” Remember, this is a rated-R movie and you either have to be 17 years old or accompanied by a parent.

The introduction of Marvel’s newest comedic superhero Deadpool fought its way to the biggest R-rated opening weekend. This being a huge accomplishment for 20th Century Fox after the devastating blow that came from the horrific reboot of Fantastic Four. This also being a big deal for first time director Tim Miller.

This film brings a creative spin to what the audience is used to seeing with The Avengers and the billions that they have managed to roll in. If this movie being rated-R wasn’t already an big enough indication of Marvel trying to push the envelope, you can’t help but to leave the theater with the mindset of “Wow, they really took it to that level.” Whether that’s a good or bad thing is the real question.

As far as the comedy, they definitely hit the mark. Seeing one textbook superhero movie after another you have to appreciate the constant satire within the film and they’re delivered perfectly. With the frequent jokes and plenty kick-ass fight scenes Deadpool quickly becomes the superhero that everybody secretly wants to be.

The only thing that is left in the air is the big question of, what’s next? With the addition of a couple B-list X-Men it leaves us with the impression that the man with the guns and the red suit will have to fit in at Charles Xavier’s school for mutants. Is that really a bold move for this independent vigilante?
