X-men Origins: Wolverine was a movie for Wolverine yet it was packed full of mutants, fan favourites, that it just left a sore taste in everyone's mouth. Thankfully, The Wolverine somewhat righted what we missed, a good wolverine movie. Now, for them to right Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds played the character in Origins but was shut up in the end. Years later we get the film that he deserves.
A character study in his own right, watching a Deadpool movie is like diving into his mind. Story is simple. Tough guy falls in love with hot chick, develops troubling disease and then finds help from a dark organization. The film does justice with the character of Wade Wilson and gives Ryan Reynolds the opportunity to stretch his comedic muscles and man is he funny. The jokes are by the dozen but all spot on, one line pointed to the fact we only really see two x-men in the movie. Deadpool jokes the studio couldn't afford to bring in more x-men.
One huge plus is we finally get to see Deadpool the way he is meant to be seen. His costume is amazingly spot on. Plus, the physical comedy is spot on, especially when he tries to beat up Colossus by breaking every bone in his body. Colossus is also done service here as his character gets more than nothing said and looks more like he does in the comics. Though, given the chance, I am sure Bryan Singer would have given Colossus more to say and do (but with x-men movie comes so many characters)
In all truth, Ryan Reynolds is the true star of this picture and the one and only who brought it to the screen. So to Ryan I say thank you and lets hope a sequel gets green lit, or we'll have to wait another 6-7 years for a follow-up.
