Review of Deadpool (2016) by Flm4Life — 21 Feb 2016

Anytime you see a review that gives a 0 or a 10, my advice is to skip it. There is an obvious bias there. Were there parts of this movie that just irritated the heck out of me? Yes. Is it a very crude, toilet humored, violent, film with scenes of sex and nudity? Yes. Are the action scenes worth seeing? Yes. It was refreshing to see a different kind of hero movie. It reminded me of how The Crow made me feel when I first saw it. It was a different kind of hero movie. It was dark, full of action and very gritty from the beginning to the end. That is what made that film very good. Deadpool has a similar feel except it has a much more sarcastic main character and is seriously funny.

Is this the best movie I have ever seen? Not, by a long shot. Is it a really good movie worth the price of a hefty admission on a Friday night? Absolutely. If you don't like toilet humor, high school boy humor, and silliness....don't see this movie. Nothing is more irritating than someone who goes into a movie like this and expects a wholesome, uplifting, and moral experience. This movie is not for you. It is also absolutely not for kids. There is nudity, sex, and very vulgar language and humor. Although I love movies like this, I will NEVER let my children see it until they are old enough.

It was a movie given to us...the adults who never really grew up! It is definitely a movie I will buy when it is released.

Ryan Reynolds gives us what he always does....his snarky one liners and his hilarious sarcasm. I've like most of his films, but this one really allows him to bring out that sarcasm. I loved him in Blade: Trinity and his personality in that film. It is similar here...but amplified 100 times. He is silly, but he is a talented actor as well. I loved the conversation between him and Weasel when he (Weasel) saw him after his change. You'll know what I mean when you see it.
