My Review

"It almost sounds like the studio didn't have enough money to cram one more X-Man into the movie!"
- Piscina de La Muerte

Not even a few generic flashbacks can detract from what is essentially every nerd's wet dream of a movie. Tim Miller, Ryan Reynolds and a braver version of Fox Studios (which I totally appreciate) have prepared their finest chimichanga dish for all of us hungry Deadpool fans, with enough wit, immature charm and epic fourth-wall breaking to make up for their past mouth-shutting sins.

First things first, Ryan Reynolds was born to play the merc with mouth, and his Wade Wilson was as equally fantastic as his Deadpool. His back-and-forth banter with two of the X-Men was ****ing hilarious, so I'm dying to see more of them together. Tim Miller also knows how to direct action sequences and tell a kick-ass simple story (with a surprisingly effective emotional punch in there somewhere), which also assured me that he would be a natural fit for a sequel.

I can see how some people might be put off by the simple fact that Deadpool doesn't overstay his welcome, and that the plot is rather simple and doesn't have many layers to it. But honestly, as a fan, it didn't bother me because it had enough Deadpool-ness in it to make it a great time at the movies.

Today is a day of victory, because we're finally at that moment in time where every single one of us can walk out of our house and use our preferred method of transportation to get to the nearest theater so we can watch an appropriately R-Rated Deadpool movie (well... unless you're too young, so in that case, grow up and then come back and watch it). It's a day that took too damn long to arrive, but one that was well worth the wait.

Seeing it again tomorrow
