THE BEST DEADPOOL MOVIE EVER
While this is THE BEST DAMN DEADPOOL MOVIE EVER, it feels a bit like playing nickel slots one coin at a time. The clink of coins is satisfying when you hit the jackpot, and you are seemingly entertained while pulling on the one arm bandit. However, in the end, you are predictably left with empty pockets and the slim hope that Bernadette Peters will sing you a sad, sappy Broadway song.
I would have warned you about spoilers, the thing is that there is nothing to spoil in Deadpool. Opening credits aside, it delivers exactly what it promises: male nudity, foul language, sex, inappropriate jokes, 4th wall destruction and gore. It just doesn’t go far enough.
Deadpool is a finger to the superhero genre, but its not so gory gore and not over-the-top anything leaves viewers wanting. It falls short of the genius of a comedy like Seth Rogen’s This Is the End, which was also self-referencing and effacing but took the film to new heights and/or depths, depending on how one looks at it. Deadpool totes the line of just this side of acceptable, and it really shouldn’t have.
Ryan Reynolds the job he is supposed to do and never shuts up. Morena Baccarin plays the damsel in distress though the audience keeps waiting for some sort of reveal. Wait, why are Colossus and Negatomic Teenage Warhead or whatever her name is in this film?
Maybe Deadpool just isn’t mainstream enough. After all, certain news outlets insist that Deadpool is a rip off of DC’s Deathstroke. According to comic artist Marat Mychaels, Deadpool is a finger to the artist who drew Spider-Man. Deadpool is Spider-Man with swords. As it stands, Deadpool just doesn’t justify the haters and their boycotts. Superheroes aren’t for children, but that doesn’t mean that Deadpool is ready for his close-up, Mr. DeMille.
