Deadpool (2016) 9/10

Starring : Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, TJ Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapicic, Leslie Uggums, Jed Rees, Karan Soni
Director : Tim Miller
Running Time : 108 mins

When he discovers that he has late stage cancer, former Special Forces Operative Wade Wilson (Reynolds) decides to sign up for an experimental treatment to cure himself. When the treatment turns out to be a sadistic method of artificially activating his mutant genes, Wade finds himself turned into an indestructible killing machine and sets out to get revenge on the people behind the treatment that has left him hideously disfigured.

This was exactly what I expected from a Deadpool movie, perhaps with a little more nudity than I expected. The action was over the top and violent, the humour was silly, and the story was disjointed on a way that was perfect for a Deadpool movie. Reynolds has always been first choice for the lead role, and the supporting cast managed to keep things light even when they were getting dark. Fans of the comic book character (who turns twenty-five this year) will love this movie with a passion, and hopefully it will spawn a whole generation of new fans.
