Review of Deadpool (2016) by Haneef A — 23 Mar 2017
Deadpool is a movie directed by TJ Miller and starring Ryan Reynolds, which are based on the foul-mouthed Marvel comics character Deadpool aka Merc With A Mouth. It is R-rated in US..meaning it is violent, with a lot of curse words and sexual innuendos.
Definitely NOT FOR CHILDREN. But if you are not easily offended, you will find that this movie has a very unique brand of humour; with Deadpool breaking the 4th wall on some occasions, and exhibiting self-awareness and meta-humour.
.taking jibes on the usual norms of a superhero movie. It is a refreshing take on superhero movies, which are usually politically correct and "playing it safe". It also has a simple but heartfelt romance story with Vanessa (Morina Baccarin).
.although the romance is a bit rushed (maybe some scenes are cut by FINAS?). Some downsides..the story/narrative is a bit straightforward and simple, and the villains are forgettable and a letdown. A strong B+.
