There are those who will love everything Deadpool embodies: from breaking the fourth wall to extra, extra, eeeeeextra violence.

The film centers around Deadpool, also known as Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), and follows his life beginning before he donned his classic red and black suit to the moment where he declares vengeance on those who made him put it on in the first place. That is when the trouble starts because things don’t go his way – it’s a comic book story, what did he think was going to happen? That was me – and I still walked out of the movie theater ready to see it again.
Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, reacts to threats from Colossus, voiced by Stefan Kapicic.
The X-Force is often viewed as a darker version of the X-Men and are often tasked with missions that are deemed too violent or morally questionable for the X-Men team. It is neither “The Avengers” nor “X-Men” nor anything we’ve really seen before. He volunteers for a top secret experiment conducted by Ajax (Ed Skrein), which consists of a series of tortures that eventually turn him into a disfigured mutant with advanced healing and regenerating powers. “That was the most awkward date for the respective parties, because there was just fireworks coming across”, he explained of him and Lively unable to hide their connection to each other.
The women aren’t much to celebrate, either, although it was amusing to have an actual adult relationship in a superhero film as opposed to the chaste, teenage coyness of so many others.
After easily the best and most honest opening credit sequence in years (set to the incongruous tune of Juice Newton’s Angel Of The Morning), we then flash back and forth as Deadpool tells his story to the camera while awaiting the arrival of his nemesis.
“Every line in the movie I wrote myself because in the script that we had it just said, ‘Wade Wilson shows up, talks really fast.’ And it was like, ‘What?” His girl is equally badass like deadpool.
Even though a good chunk of the movie is Deadpool’s origin story flashback, it weaves into the story perfectly and does not detract from it at all.
