Deadpool

With Great Power Comes Great Irresponsibility

So. Finally. Deadpool is here. And Fox nailed it this time!

For those of you that don't know, Deadpool is an antihero in the Marvel universe who is well known for his mouth. And I don't mean he's got great teeth. I mean he's a smart-ass. And he knows that he's a comic book character, which makes for some very interesting interactions.

This, however, is not his first film appearance. He previously showed up in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, wherein Fox in their infinite wisdom, screwed up his character. Well, with the Days of Future Past storyline and history being rewritten, they got a second chance to get it right. And man did they ever get it right.

Explains why Ryan Reynolds is perfect for the role

Deadpool/Wade Wilson, played by who else but Ryan Reynolds is spot on. He has all the mouth he should and no filter. Seriously, his dialogue during the fight scenes is some of the funniest I've heard in a long, long time. I haven't laughed that hard in ages.

The story is great. It's a revenge story through-and-through, but it's also a love story. Surprising, but true. And it even has a couple cameos by a couple X-Men to tie it into that universe. And one of those, Colossus, promises more to come from both Deadpool and X-men franchises. Can you say cash cow?

Now, I know that some people don't like the film for its generic origin story type plot, but in this instance, I'm OK with it. Yes, it's a little repetitive, but sometimes, you need that. And with as successful as the movie has been so far, it's safe to say that the inevitable sequel will be beyond brilliant.

This movie is definitely worth the price of admission

If you are a comic book fan, like Ryan Reynolds, or just a fan of action in general, you need to see this movie. At least once. Heck, I'll probably see it multiple times, and eventually own it. Point being, you need to see this movie. My only negatives about it are the slightly generic story and that it wasn't long enough in my opinion. But, I'm sure you'll all form your own opinions about that soon enough.
