Deadpool!

     Yes, Deadpool is a great movie. The End. I'm kidding. You want to know more about it. If you know about Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds has all of his mannerisms down and is the best person to play him. The movie is a lot like the comic books and the video game with a few minor changes. If you've never seen or heard of Deadpool, this is a good introduction movie. If you know Deadpool, you'll like it, but it may not be the greatest movie you've ever seen in life. My friend saw it and was upset about it because it was a very big background story type of movie. I had to tell her that this is for people who don't know enough about Deadpool and the next movie will be the one you love.

     I did like Deadpool, but there were some minor things that could have made it better. *Spoilers* Deadpool has a girlfriend. She's his perfect other half and I liked her, but Deadpool is supposed to always chase after women and maybe men that he can never really get. The whole movie was about him feeling he was too ugly to see his girlfriend and she was okay with him in the end. He won't chase after people or hit his peak weirdness because he's kind of in or will be in a stable relationship.

     The backstory was a little long because it was throughout the whole movie. I get that they had to introduce him to people that don't know about him, but you might feel like you missed out on cool action sequences because the backstory took up all the space. You'll get good jokes, cool action and lots of crazy, but the backstory is most of the movie and getting revenge/saving his girlfriend is the rest of the movie. This doesn't mean you will hate it. You will be satisfied. Deadpool's very funny, goofy and says things before he realizes they came out wrong.

     It has an R-rating for a reason. There is nudity, cursing, lots of violence and Deadpool's really enjoying and hyping all of this up. Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead are awesome as people who want Deadpool to join the X-Men and kind of be a hero. It's weird though, because Deadpool keeps telling you that he is not a hero, but he's kind of doing hero stuff in this movie. He also has a blind roommate that I was hoping wouldn't put up with his mouth. I was hoping that she would be his equal match. She is, but in a different way. She hits him with a crass comment here or there, but nothing that counters what he says. It's not super noticeable, but I was hoping she would have had great comebacks for him to keep him on his toes.

     Deadpool also didn't have that cool narrating voice in the back of his head. In the movie, he talks outloud to himself and to the camera/audience, but in the game, it's a different voice/personality. It works great in the movie the way they did it, but I thought it would be cool to see.

     There also wasn't a huge fight scene at the end against the main villains. The villains are also throughout the movie, but most of the fight scenes are against people to find the villain and with the backstory taking up most of the time, there wasn't a big epic fight scene against Ajax. I do like that they didn't drag the movie out trying to show too much. None of the things I've mentioned are hang-ups for the movie. It's still very Deadpool and an awesome movie. It has opened the floodgates for more anti-hero and R-rated comic book movies. Deadpool is set up well and he hypes you up to getting a second Deadpool movie with Cable in it. For diehards, you will like or love this movie, because Deadpool is perfect in it. The funny moments are extremely funny and the action is great. It makes up for the story line. The story line is good, but will be even better for Deadpool 2. What movies are you waiting to see? Comment below. Rating: 7/10
