Deadpool is a super hero film based on the marvel comics. It was directed by Tim Miller and starred Ryan Reynolds as deadpool. The film is about a former special forces operative who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Wade Wilson the special forces operative is then approached by a recruiter from a secret program offering the cure for his cancer. Although he was hesitant at first Wade decides to go to the laboratory and is injected with a serum. The serum awakens mutant genes and Wade discovers he is being used to be sold as a super powered slave. After confrontations with Ajax, Ā Wade is left for dead but he isn’t and his hunt for Ajax ensues.
The opening scene stood out to me because deadpool is shown inside a van but there are no clues as to how he got in the van. Eventually though we see him fall of the top of a highway and landing inside the van, where a fighting scene takes place. As he is fighting the guys in the van he cracks some jokes here and there and we see a horrific scene where a guy cleanly gets his head cut off by a bicycle chain. The opening scene adds all the aspects I love in a film which are comedy, action and gore. What really pulled me in and kept me watching attentively were the jokes being made while all the action was going down. Miller uses the original comic character and portrays him just the way he is and gave the comic fans just what they wanted.
Opening scene was nice, but the lack of budget was showing: with the graphic and the fourth wall breaks informed us that there was a lack of one. seemly they did well for have such an absurd budget where marketing was significantly grater than production.
I really enjoyed this movie. It is not only action packed from the beginning, but also really funny. This is a movie that anyone could enjoy. Even people that are not Marvel or even action movie fans tend to like it. I think the production was pretty good. One important aspect that I noticed that was not paid enough attention to in other movies starring superheroes with masks is the animation of the Deadpool’s eyes. Batman and Spiderman didn’t have this kind of detail which made all the difference in Deadpool.
