But there is that other side of me that has been a little damaged by that long wait and the parade of mostly safe comic book movies.

But the best thing about the movie was that I could completely relate to Wade Wilson more than any other hero or anti-hero that Marvel has given us a movie about; he’s someone that the average Joe can identify with.
Wilson is the merc with a mouth and when he is diagnosed with late stage cancer in his liver, lungs and prostate, he joins the weapon X program to try to stop his cancer. When Wade learns this experiment is for much more nefarious purposes, he is left for dead in the destroyed facility by weapons expect Francis Freeman (Ed Skrein). Moreover, the cross-promotion was quite a fit as “Deadpool’s” Mike’s Harder Punch was aimed to attract the not-so-young profiles, who were old enough to take an alcoholic drink. She was a student of Emma Frost, last seen in the X-Men movies when January Jones took on the role for X-Men: First Class. His character was different from the usual heroes and brought a lot of fun to the moviegoers. Heck, there are jokes directly about Ryan Reynolds himself.
Actor Ryan Reynolds attends the “Deadpool” fan event at AMC Empire Theatre on February 8, 2016 in New York City. American Sniper, the second-highest-grossing R-rated movie, is a good example, as is The Matrix Reloaded at No. 3, Saving Private Ryan at No. 10, 300 at No. 11, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day at No. 13. But it is anticipated that more news about it will be revealed in the future.
A few weekends ago, I went to the highly-anticipated movie “Deadpool”. If the buzz is a good, we’ll see the numbers continue to increase.
Miller is the only member of Team Deadpool who is not signed for the sequel, with Reynolds and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick all already set to go. Because the narrative allows for Deadpool to break the fourth wall from time to time as a way to address the audience, it serves as a comical and uncommon method of letting us know what he’s thinking.
The movie sees Tim Miller in the director’s chair as he has made his feature film directorial debut with the project.
Deadpool is also more violent than previous superhero movies and certainly deserves its R-rating.

This superhero spoof changes the landscape, even for those who have dipped a toe into humour and gentle lampooning; its wry humour and extreme fourth-wall breaking self-awareness serve to deconstruct the “traditional” comic book movie and send it up – with the willing participation of an audience it gets onside from the outset, leaving us, as a result, unable to watch the output of Marvel Studios et al in the same way we used to. The full impact of Deadpool – a Marvel character committed to film by 20th Century Fox under licence – remains to be seen, but so far response has been unprecedented.
