Dead pool is a breath of fresh air and not your average comic book hero with witty bater , lewd behavior and tons of gratuitous violence. Staring Hollywood heartthrob ( Ryan Reynolds) as the Deadpool. Reynolds plays a former mouthy mercenary by the name of Wade Wilson. The movie begins with Wilson already as Deadpool on a mission to kill Ajax who you later find out is the villain of this movie. The story of this movie is told in a very unorthodox way, of flashbacks and present time moments. In the 1st flashback you learn that Wilson is using his mercery skills to help out average everyday people. He spends most of his days beating up petty thugs and hanging out at Sisters Margaret Home for Wayward girls – which is a gutter dive bar. Sisters is where all the mercenaries go to congregate and get their next contract mission kills. Its also where Wades best friend Weasel ( T.J Miller) bartends. While visiting Weasel Wade attracts the attention of a hooker by the name of Venessa ( Morena Baccarin). The two exchange extremely rude words which quickly turns into love at first site. All is well in their lives until Wade gets cancer throughout his body . After being diagnosed Wade is then visited by a recruiter of sorts ( Jed Ress). This ominous character says he can cure Wades disease and even make him a super-hero. Wade quickly calls bullshit and laughs in his face. Wade quickly starts running out of options and takes this recruiter up on his offer of a cure. Wade is then taken to a special facility where he is met by Ajax ( Ed Skrein ) the overseer of the facility. Ajax and his henchmen Angel Dust ( Gina Carano ) quickly began to torture Wade in multiple experiments in hopes to unlock his mutant abilities. During the final experiment Wade’s body is badly deformed to the point where he is unrecognizable. The final experiment not only deform Wade but blows up the entire facility leaving Wade alive and with super healing abilities. Wade vows to hunt down Ajax and make him pay for what he has done.
In order to enact Wades revenge he seeks the help of a few super individual from the X-Men , Colossus ( Stefan Kapicc ) and Negasonic teenage warhead ( Brianna Hildbrand). These two come in handy once Wade finds out Ajax has kidnapped his girl Venessa. which leads to an ultimate show down!!
WOW is all i can say about this beautiful movie, i was totally blown away how good this movie was. I have to really give it to Ryan Reynolds he did an outstanding jobs as Deadpool. Now I must admit I didn’t know to much about this Marvel character before hand. But, I am in love with him now. I also have to take my hat off to 1st time director Tim Miller who has had a very successful 1st film. Also I have to give a big round of applause to Marvel for not watering down this movie and making PG-13 like their other successful franchise. Marvel budget was a mere 58 million, which is low for a marvel movie. Most marvel movies budget rage near the 100 to 200 million dollar area. For those of you that follow marvel movies you will remember this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Reynolds as Wade Wilson. Yes thats right thats awful X-Men Origins movie back in 2009 where we were first introduced to a sarcastic Wilson. Later on in the movie they went on to make a mockery of the Deadpool character. This never stood right with Reynolds he knew this character could be a break out hit. So, literally after almost a decade of begging and pleading the studio Deadpool was made. Reynolds also ingeniously leaked the test footage of Deadpool , that the studio made. After this test footage was leaked Marvel was bombarded with letters and calls about making a Deadpool movie. After almost a decade of trying to get this movie made Deadpool is #1 at the box office this weekend. Not only was Deadpool #1 , but it broke records shattering Fifty Shades of Grey record of 90 million last Valentine day. Deadpool brought in 135 million this weekend and that number is expected to hit 165 million after Monday. Before the numbers were even in the studio had already green lit Deadpool 2. Theres also talks of Reynolds getting a 3 movie deal with a 50 million dollar check attached. Not to bad for an actor who had fallen into a hollywood slump a few years ago, now he’s back on top!
