Deadpool review. A Must See Or Fox's New Cautionary Tale?

"Hello my little lovelies."

Deadpool was one of the most anticipated movies of 2016! I mean it took over the marketing world both offline and online and they just ran with it, you couldn't watch a trailer without seeing something about Deadpool, this movie was everywhere! Which is usually the standard go to marketing plan with any new 20th Century Fox movie that's coming out, but they took it to a new level with this Ryan Reynolds movie. The investment did pay off with the movie being the second-biggest grossing R-rated film of all time, earning 619.3 million USD worldwide.
Like with all Superhero movies it has a wide audience, everyone loves a good Superhero, especially one with a twist. The twist being he's no Superhero at all actually. Free of the burden of the usual Superhero stigma of respectful and nice and a basic good conscience, Deadpool takes the term Superhero pretty loosely and just goes ahead and loses his social filter when it comes to pretty much everything. It didn't get a G rating for nothing after all. But with all the swearing, cursing, sex scene and a full on naked Ryan Reynolds, comes also comedy and as he puts it a "love story".

The story is basically about Reynolds who has left the special forces and a dishonourable discharge behind and has become a mercenary for hire. Everything is going great for him, he even meets someone who's crazy fits his crazy. Until he is told his days are numbered. To the rescue comes an evil scientist with the promise of Superhero like abilities thanks to a black-market treatment for cancer. Only to find out he's being turned into a super slave. After torture and a rogue experiment he leaves Deadpool completely disfigured, but gives him the ability to regenerate from pretty much anything. He escapes and later goes hunting for the man who did that to him, Ajax *also known as Francis*. 

What makes this movie so fun to watch is the refreshing script and freedom when it comes to the overly sarcastic Reynolds. He truly is enjoyably obnoxious! Also awareness of his own fictional status and constant name dropping of fellow superheroes along with real life actors makes for a fun experience. With a fresh new take on the Superhero movie genre Deadpool changed the Superhero game, proving sarcasm and profanity can fit a hero. It's cool, it's fun, it will make you laugh, cry and go awww only to make you laugh again. So to all the movie lovers out there, I highly recommend watching Deadpool, it will make for one fun movie night, perfect for the weekend!
