Movie Review: Deadpool

Where to even begin? You see, I really thought Hollywood had pretty much reached saturation point in superhero movies with the last few films being terribly banal and mundane. Then, Deadpool came, slightly broke the mold, and it was glorious. I thought the cinematic technique to break the fourth wall was genius, the sarcasm and rapid fire wit infused into the writing was impressive, the action scenes were brilliantly choreographed, the visual style was outstanding, and the scoring was absolutely perfect. Oh, and don't get me started with Ryan Reynolds, who was clearly born to play Deadpool - not Green Lantern, but Deadpool. Haha. The combination of everything in synergy made this film one of the most riveting superhero flicks in recent memory. No, Deadpool wasn't revolutionary - in fact, the story had the usual superhero tropes - and the execution won't satisfy everyone in the world, but for what it's worth, this was a deliriously entertaining one, if gratuitously violent and crude and I loved every minute of it. 9
