I loved this film. Ryan Reynolds daring to be different with the superhero genre, creating an irreverent and engaging character to challenge so many of the butter-wouldn't-melt characters that usually emanate from the Marvel/DC universes. His eponymous character starts out as "Wade Wilson", a smart ass mercenary who dishes out justice to naughty pizza delivery boys and killers alike. That all calms down though, when he meets "Vanessa" (Morena Baccarin) and who knows - maybe it's love? Unfortunately, he keels over suddenly and is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Desperation puts him in the less than capable hands of "Ajax" (Ed Skrein) who reckons he can fix his problem, and though enhancing his strength and recuperative powers, leaves him looking like a burst calzone. He cannot bear to stay with his gal, but he does focus on catching and wreaking vengeance upon the man who left him like this. What now ensues is regularly laugh-out-loud funny. The dialogue is pithy, ripe and amusing; the fight scenes avoid the lengthy and repetitive nature of so many superhero films and the lesser characters - like cabbie "Dopinder" (Karan Soni), his new roomie Leslie Uggams' sagely "Blind Al" and TJ Miller's "Weasel" all add richness and stop this becoming too much of a Ryan-fest. The last half hour is as good as this genre gets, and stick around after the credits for a few clues on a sequel (with Kiera Knightley!?). Great fun.

As a kid I loved this, and honestly I can see why. I liked reading the comics and this movie does a good job of making what makes Deadpool unique in the comics and putting that in the movie. **(He's childish, immature, funny, and breaks the 4th wall).** All with great cameos of other characters that are also featured in the deadpool comics.

Awesome movie. I could have lived without the play by play commentary from him. Like he say's people have tried to shut him up.
