Deadpool

Review | Deadpool

May 14, 2016 by Rip

I’m late to the game with this review but, honestly, this particular film is difficult to categorize. Of what do I speak? Well, the title should give it away but for those not paying attention, we’re chatting about Deadpool.

Starring Ryan Reynolds of Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place (kidding, kinda), the Deadpool film is hits many classic buttons in many categories. Billed as a production from the Marvel rubber-stamp factory, this film threatened to be another telling of the same story we’ve seen many times before in Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and the Avengers. The story?! Yeah, it’s mayhem, chaos, a sprinkling of superhero angst, some civilian collateral damage combined with a breathless “save the human race” conclusion. Yawn.

But wait, Deadpool is different – in an exceptional way.

Yup, Deadpool is a superhero and, sure, he has some unique powers but what makes this film so unique and shockingly entertaining is the tongue-in-cheek action and the rib-cracking, laugh-out-loud moments. In fact, I don’t remember seeing any film which made me laugh so much in a long time. Why so funny? Easy: a fabulous script combined with an exceptional protagonist. Much like Robert Downey Jr. plays the ideal Tony Stark, Ryan Reynolds seizes the role of Deadpool with bemused perfection.   

Did you know that Deadpool is the only comic book character who knows he’s in a comic book? In other words, Deadpool is self-aware and chats directly to the reader. Well, in a stroke of genius, the film production mirrors that unique trait and Deadpool speaks directly to the audience — typically with a smile-inducing quip.

The only downside to Deadpool is debatable: this film is just dirty. No, not in a crusted ick with rotting detritus kinda way. No, I mean in a dirty sexy kinda way. Which means don’t plan on watching this film with anyone who is slightly sheltered or introverted — because that person will run from the room blushing furiously. Morena Baccarin, who plays Reynolds love interest in the film, only adds her sultry chemistry to an already exotic mix.  

Edgy, quick-witted, and a thoroughly entertaining experience, Deadpool is a refreshing take on a standard superhero production. From where I sit, there is a wealth of comedic ingenuity woven perfectly into the Marvel tapestry. Deadpool is a worthy addition to the franchise and, even after seeing this film twice in the theater, I purchased this Blu-ray day one. Absolutely Stupendous.

And now we say goodbye to Gini. Thru his professionalism, expertise, & energy, he was a big reason for our recent success.

Liverpool’s Goalkeeper scores winner in 95th minute with season on line. Incredible sporting moment that almost cracks chill of my cold blue heart. Allison lost his father at the end of February. What emotions he must have experienced in this second 🙌🇧🇷

Absolutely incredible.
Another “moment” in Reds history. We go again but need a hand getting over the line. C’mon Leicester! https://t.co/T5VwD1uKRT

.@Speechify_audio Was interested but the price point ($12/month) for premium is just too high. Unfortunately, the free voices pale in comparison. Great concept, may return if/when price drops.

// Why?

Before I answer why, let’s talk about the rules. Here, I chatter about unimportant things. I stay in the shallow end of the pool, speculating on pop culture fascination, the journey of Liverpool FC, while offering an opinion or two on gaming. Why? Because I enjoy the written word. There is both a precision and also freedom with its balance, flow, and elegance. And this corner of the Internet offers a place to dabble in topics which avoid anything with a fuse.
