Deadpool

    As written about in my past blogs, comic book movies are currently a huge success at both the box office and with the critics, and with that, the production of these films has ramped up a substantial amount. The only problem, for some people, is that most comic book movies, especially those made by Marvel and DC, are rated merely PG-13. As there has been a few other R rated comic book movies that were all very well received, it comes as no surprise that one made it's way into theaters in 2016. The film in reference is Deadpool, the latest and greatest comic book character to hit the big screen.

    Deadpool is an undead mercenary who was brought back to life by the man he is trying to kill during the entire film. The character Deadpool is portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, and the rest of the cast features the likes of T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein and Karan Soni, as well as many other. Not only all of that but Tim Miller, director of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (another comic book movie adaptation), also directed Deadpool and he created one incredible film off the otherwise unknown source material.
 

    The film is a classic revenge story of Wade, a mercenary, after he is held hostage by the man who murdered him and experimented on in order to come back to life and be nearly invincible. That man is the main villain throughout the entire film and eventually he steals Deadpool's love interest and the main conflict of the film is getting her back. It's a very compelling plot and between the acting, the action and the hilarious ad libs by Ryan Reynolds, most viewers will be pleased and entertained upon first viewing.
