Movie Review on Tim Miller's "DEADPOOL"



“Captain Deadpool - Nah! Just Deadpool” - has arrived! And it’s dirty, hilarious, violent, insane, sexy and at the same time it’s also romantic.

“DEADPOOL”- a movie which is one of the and also the first most anticipated movie of 2016. I had great expectations towards the movie from the moment I first saw it’s trailer and it didn’t disappoint me at all. Finally after watching the movie first day first show the first thing I noticed was how inventive the storytelling is. The film throws you into the action from the first moment and then goes back and forth in brilliant ways to slowly unfold the story of this insane antihero. I really really liked Deadpool, the character is one the best ever.

It’s undoubtedly the funniest Marvel movie till now and also one of the best ever. The action itself is top notch, beautifully designed and used every camera technique possible and available. Pacing is close to perfection. The love story in this film is probably the most sincere I've ever seen in a superhero movie and it gives the film the strong emotional core which so many of these movies lack. Ryan Reynolds brilliantly potrayed the key character and has great chemistry with co-star Morena Baccarin, who is perfectly in sync with Ryan.

The humor in the movie works surprisingly well and if you’re not interested in this movie, do watch it for it’s humor. Not every line or every joke lands - but that's the beauty of this character: they don't really need to. Deadpool can't help himself; as long as he's able to breathe he'll crack wise and make fun of himself and those around him.

Despite all my praise, it's not a perfect film. The villain in this revenge tale is utterly forgettable and the story itself is not very satisfying as it lacks any surprise element or even a wow element as everything was bit expected (that’s what I felt was missing) but it's a damn good first entry in a franchise for the introduction of the insane but oddly charming antihero ‘Deadpool’. It will hopefully explore the character and his world to a much larger extent in the sequel(s). And it's actually a very important film for another reason. If Deadpool is a financial success - which at this point is already clear that it will be - now we'll hopefully will see more R-rated Superhero movies in the future. There's a gigantic audience out there that is over the age of 18, loves to read comic books and can absolutely handle real-world language, real-world sex and real-world violence in superhero movies.

I’ll give it 9 stars out of 10. Many people might feel different - and I respect their opinion-but I have grown tired of entirely bloodless ‘only for children type’ superhero flicks. Welcome this change in the world of superheros. This movie left its strong mark, and now there’s great expectations towards its sequel. It’s a must-must watch for all over 18 people out there. 


* Also, stay after the credits and during the credits - it will make you laugh your head off.*
