Story: This is the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Likes : I will hand down say this is the funniest film ive watched in ages, i mean ya there are a few flaws in the movie which i'll put in the dislikes but dam Ryan reynolds is funny, give the guy the go ahead to just unleash this is the result you get full on adult humour that if it your sense of humour you will laugh you a** off.

I didnt know much about dead pool other than he's a sarcastic merc with a month, after seeing this film, i understand the character better, im a fan of dead pool. I will say this ; this is 20th century's first successful superhero film, im glad they didnt do the same mistake as the fantastic four film that was a disaster, despite the flaw this is a great film.

Ryan reynolds 
playing dead pool is a role he was born to play, he gets the character perfect, he's got the right acting profile for the sarcastic humour that dead pool is,  he was just funny as hell, some of the scene when he being sarcastic like he few quote about 20th century fox how e got away with that i dont know, but where he shinned more in this film was the piss taking sarcastic quote which made this film even more funnier.

Morena Baccarin Perfect casting choice for the girlfriend of wade wilson, i loved how she played off Ryan reynolds on screen, she didnt hold anything back, she totally full on yet go, it show a perfect performance on screen as Vanessa good screen chemist which give a believe character.

Stefan Kapicic & Greg LaSalle done an awesome job with Colossus, i think it was a great idea to bulk him up more to the original Colossus in the x-men, give the character more depth which is good, Stefan delivering a perfect voice over for the role really bring the character personality out, as well as Greg proving the Facial Performance for the character is brilliantly done.

Brianna Hildebrand just awesome as Negasonic Teenage Warhead which dead pool literally take the p*ss out off which was funny because she can give as good as get back with the mood teenage goth click, which is show just why she given the name warhead, because dammmmmm.......i wont give away spoiler but you can see why in the film.Great performance on screen.

Ed Skrein was a perfect choice for the main villain, ya he didnt get much reception with transporter remake film, but play the bad guy in this film he shinned in his own right as a bad a** villain for dead pool, he pull off a great performance with this dark attitude of a street thug turn mutant with a god complex.

 Gina Carano beautiful as ever play a very powerful mutant angel dust, i think she role suit her more then over roles, not that she not good at acting, she just got this on screen presence of a bad a**, i think angel dust role was perfect for her as most of the scene had her just looking menacing of a person you dont want to p*ss off, the combat scene Gina shined more in this film.

The film itself along with its sexual joke's & sarcastic quote that just make it hilarious to watch, the film just touch on a very delicate subject of cancer i glad the film takes in seriously & doesn't make a joke out of it in the scene involving this that was perfectly done.
With it visual effect, stunts & music this is a pretty well made film its what dead pool should be on the big screen so you can't fault 20th century fox here because the director 
Tim Miller & the writes did a pretty well written film. If there is a film you should watch this is a film not to be missed.



Dislikes : My only complaint which i noticed flaws because not every film is perfect, is the flow of the film, yes there are moment when this film really does have you in fits of laugher.
But the scene skipping from the future to past then to the future then back to the past until the time line caught up didnt work so well with this film, which was kind of funny in that part when the line line caught up because there was a few split second scene that had my laughing, but it kind of off balanced the film flow slightly which is forgivable because this is entertaining in other area.

It did feel like it was mixed with 18 certification in area with a 15 certification in others & some scene did feel toned down like it was missing curtain scenes, which maybe were see a full uncut director version on dvd / blu-ray.

Overall :  hilarious jokes & qoutes, great acting performances, slightly a bit flawed in story but entertaining film thats a must to see.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.5 out of 10 for comic adaptation
