Review of Deadpool (2016) by Barney O — 02 Dec 2016
WHAT I LIKED: 'Deadpool' is hands down the funniest comic book movie I've ever seen. It's own self-awareness, Ryan Reynold's brilliant sense of humour and the hilarious script make for constant laughs and comic relief. But this is only made possible by a suprisingly good story with a well-developed lead character. You actually care for Wade Wilson and his goal, and the character's use of humour can even be viewed as his own coping mechanism. It's great bloody fun and well worth a watch.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: It doesn't really have a 'middle...' Sure it has it's long first act, and a great last act, but there's nothing in between to flesh the story out. Could they not have cut the first act down a bit to make room for this?
VERDICT: 'Deadpool' is fresh, funny and self-aware. This makes it the funniest comic-book movie out there, and one of the funnest movie experiences of 2016.
