Review of Deadpool (2016) by Gustavo B — 25 Aug 2016

A tune performed Juice Newton named "Angel in the Morning" by opens a tasty circus of slow images, who seems to be frozen in time. The opening credits make fun of everything that is normal for the audience, a famous name or a well known director. Suddenly you're asking yourself, what a hell I'm watching?

This is Deadpool one of the first R-rate superhero movie. Starring Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool a mercenary who is diagnosed with cancer. His only hope is to be subject of a regenerative experiment which gives him accelerated healing powers. His girlfriend is Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) an escort who have a one night stand with him, becoming a year relationship. After the controversial experiment to cure him, Wade decided to abandon her in order to do the treatment. At the lab he met Francis Freeman/Ajax (Ed Skrein) who injects him with a mutant substance, unfortunately the process is causes disfiguration on his body, but also cure his cancer.

Tim Miller first time director with this movie use CGI as it best, he is able to manipulate the audience with so many unusual filmmaking techniques developing a great experience for the audience. Deadpan break the fourth wall (The space that separates the performer from the audience) speaking to the viewers allow him to engage better. Is hard to analyze a movie which is not taking seriously anything that you see. At the end of the day this movie is pretty entertaining and deliver perfectly what the director, producers and stars wanted to do. A super hero movie with heart and soul. There is no gimmicks here. In a world where movies are just made to make money, but without substance this one really understand that we are living in a different kind of world.
