Prepare to hate me, this is my review of Deadpool...


Movie begins with Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, kicking ass and taking names in an awesome freeway scene. Humor throughout. But some X-Men show up and prevent him from getting revenge... But wait... Revenge for what? Oh, they didn't get into that until now. So Ryan narrates how he was a mercenary with a big heart as he helps the little people and friends with an overly Marvel twerp working bar at a merc bar... Yeah, that's where I see awkward geeks; tending bar surrounded by a whole bunch of rough bikers and serving the awesomeness that is Ryan Reynolds. Then Ryan falls in love with a hooker/stripper chick (Who strangely looks like a younger version of the girl that played Jean Grey/Phoenix) and takes her to the local fair/carnival just like say, Spider-Man and Darkman... Then we see them screwing each other's brains out (Not like Spider-Man) and Ryan finds out he has cancer. Not wanting to leave his love, he agrees to a shady snake-oil sales pitch and finds himself in a nasty place, being tortured by the guy he was trying to kill and a chick that looks and fights like she's from WWE or something...


"Ha! I know what you're thinking Mr. Wolf, total dumbass move on my part. And that's the last noble idea I'll have, I'll just stick to killing people from now on... Back to you, Wolfie boy!"
-Deadpool

Um... Thanks, Little Red Riding Hoodlum... So the bad guy is torturing people like Ryan Reynolds to kickstart a mutation so they can evolve him into a super soldier and sell him to the highest bidder... Yeah, I don't see that every going wrong, especially with pretty boy villain suckering ex-special forces types into his amateur surgeon warehouse. Granted they're crippled but still, if they mutate I could see them seriously f***ing the place up... Which Ryan Reynolds does after being suffocated and turning into a living old man mask from MTV's Jackass... Seriously, I thought Wade Wilson was supposed to get all scarred and burned not look older and bald... Freaking Anakin falling into a volcano looks nastier than Deadpool!


"I look like a normal older person now! No longer will people say I look like a shady merc version of Ryan Reynolds, the handsome devil! Someone must pay!"
-Wade Wilson (Umm... No relation to Slade Wilson)

So bad guy finds out Deadpool is Wade and kidnaps his stripper girlfriend... Idiot! Seriously, what the f***?! They make an immortal killing machine and say "Hey, let's piss him off by trying to take away his girl!" How does that work for ANYBODY IN COMIC BOOKS?! Hurting Mary-Jane (Who I think is a bimbo in my opinion), Spider-Man comes looking for you. Hurting Pepper Potts, Iron Man hunts you down, kill Punisher's family, Punisher makes your life a living Hell. Torture Whistler, well... Blade kinda grunts and dabs a little cotton ball... That's really helpful, but he gets pissed off! All I'm saying is these guys who somehow formulate these world domination plans and get quick rich schemes seem to forget nerds in costumes love boobies, I mean our heroes love saving damsels in distress and will send your ass to Hell on a bullet train if they really REALLY wanted.


"Silly little innocent little Mad Wolf... You don't need to censor facts about me! I'm all for saving, staring, and groping the ta-tas! Chimichangas too, gotta save those!"
-Deadpool

Now, I'm not too big on Marvel comics or movies (Long story short : I think some characters and movies are okay but see a lot are too similar to older DC characters, just more bright, colorful, and child friendly) so I can't compare the film to the Deadpool comics. Will say this follows overused comic hero/anti-hero formula: Guy becomes badass at a price, decides to kick butt, girl gets taken by idiotic villain that thinks he's hot shit only to have ass handed to him. It follows the Marvel formula as well with twerpy nerds that are involved even if they feel HELLA outta place, a lot of humor (some of which awkward, weird, or borderline seeming like it was written by a 13 year old), some great fights and action sequences, but ultimately nothing we haven't seen before... Sadly, Ryan Reynolds is a funny guy and there's good jokes in here, but I expected funnier. The X-Men characters in the film are kinda unhelpful tools and feel unneeded in the movie. Even the whole R rated comic book thing people go off about ISN'T a first; all 3 Punisher movies did it, Darkman series, both Judge Dredd movies, the Blade films, that's well over 12 hours of film in almost 30 years and people were amazed Deadpool was R? Ooooooooooookay...

Is it terrible? No. Is it great? No. Honestly, it reminds me of a lot of other Marvel movie with it's comedy and plot save for more violence, swearing, and booby scenes. Deadpool gets 3 outta 5 Ryan Reynolds jokes, which are damn funny. People who'd love this are either fans of Deadpool, Marvel, or comic books in general. But even as a decent action flick, there's better out there. For a better Deadpool experience, I'd recommend the game for PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and recently released for PS4 and Xbox One.
