I am going to keep this as spoiler free as possible, but shall warn you anyway.
I saw Deadpool last night, and I really did not know all that much about it going in. I was expecting very brash humor and a little vulgarity, based on all of the marketing, but wow, I did not expect what I got.
To be honest, I wasn’t expect that much depth in it (remember, I have no background knowledge of Deadpool). So I was genuinely surprised with the actual story. The fact the movie can go to the darkest of places without it being completely ridiculous with the humor made it a much better film. Doing that also gave so much character development for Ryan Reynolds’ character since the humor comes from a dark place.
The film would break the fourth wall so much, it broke the fourth wall within a fourth wall break. And it make fun of itself and other Marvel franchises, which takes a lot of wit to pull off, which I appreciate.
So without spoiling everything, I really enjoyed Deadpool, coming from the perspective of someone who had no knowledge coming in except for how the film was marketed. It was very funny, Ryan Reynolds did a surprisingly good job being the vigilante, the writing was well done, I could go on and on. Also, Stan Lee’s cameo is the funniest one yet.
Are you going to see Deadpool? Let me know with a comment.
I’m going to go see it today and I’m excited the filmmaker’s decided to fix their error and they actually made Deadpool a closer reflection of the comics!
Argghhh Damn college and assignments! I want to see Deadpool.
I am a Deadpool noob too and I loved the film as much as you. I want to watch it again to catch everything I missed last time!! Fab review x
Saw it yesterday. So good! By far one of my favorites. Right up there with Guardians of the Galaxy!
This movie was so perfect! I loved every minute of it. And they did such a good job of combining things from the Deadpool comics into the film. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
