Review of Deadpool (2016) by Stormie A — 04 Dec 2018

Casting is important for any film, for this comic book-based movie ï¿ 1/2Deadpoolï¿ 1/2? casting was key. Ryan Reynolds was chosen to play Deadpool, a paid mercenary turned superhero, against his will to not become a superhero. Reynolds was a great choice; his sarcastic demeanor and smart-ass way of speaking is a perfect match for Rhett and Resseï¿ 1/2(TM)s and Pail Wernickï¿ 1/2(TM)s script. Reynolds acted so well that he will be known for this role for the rest of his career. His voice will be so recognizable as being Deadpool that even when he acts in an animated movie the audience will automatically think of this movie.

Francis, the leader of the antagonist group turning regular citizens into mutants, is a villain you love to hate. Ed Skrein plays him with such talent you believe heï¿ 1/2(TM)s evil. Without a villain Deadpool would have no one to bounce his wit off. It takes a special person to play a character that feels no pain or emotions, and Skrein does so gracefully its believable.

What would a superhero be without his best friend/ sidekick? T.J Miller portrayed a bartender named Weasel, who starts a series of bar fights called The Deadpool. He is the best friend of Wade Wilson who later will be inspired by the bar fights to pick his name as Deadpool.

Deadpool is a great example of why casting is important in a film that is based of comic books. If the casting crew didnï¿ 1/2(TM)t nail it, they would have to face angry fanboys and fan-girls.
