Deadpool

Deadpan is written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, its is directed by Tim Miller. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds, Ed Skrein, Morena Baccarin, and T.J. Miller. This movie is NOT for children and it isn't the typical super hero movie and there is heavy violence, cursing and sexual content.

Summary: Wade Wilson aka Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is ex Special Force and turned into a mercenary. He meets a prostitute named Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and falls in love with her. Wade proposes to Vanessa but he faints shortly after and then finds out that he has cancer all inside his body. When he goes to the bar he usually goes to his friend (T. J. Miller) tells him that a man is looking for him. When Wade goes over to the man the guy tells him that he can heal him of his cancer and turn him into a super hero. Wade laughs in the mans face and leaves the bar. As his girlfriend is sleeping he leaves and calls the man who approached him earlier at the bar. Wade is strapped to a hospital bed and Ajax (Ed Skrein) the doctor of the facility and tells him that they are going to put him under sever stress in order to get his mutant genes to react and come through. Wade is tortured but maintains his humor and wit. Ajax hates Wade and puts him in a chamber that takes the oxygen out of the air and makes him suffer for the weekend. The chamber dehydrates his skin leaving him terrifying to look at. When Ajax returns he says that he is going to leave him in for a few more days. Wade sets the facility on fire and is "killed" by Ajax. When the ash settles Wade comes out from them fully healed. The rest of the movie is Wade becoming Deadpool and hunting Ajax down so that he can fix his face so that he can get back to his girlfriend. Vanessa ends up getting kidnapped by Ajax and Deadpool and the two X-men who have been trying to recruit him have to go save her. Deadpool kills Ajax and saves Vanessa who he shows his face to and she tells him that she will get used to it and that it doesn't matter.

Review: I absolutely loved this movie!! It isn't a superhero movie that we are used to seeing, there is extreme violence and the cursing makes it more realistic to me. Ryan Reynolds plays the perfect antihero and the movie is so witty and incredibly sarcastic. I think most people need to understand that this movie is not a typical superhero movie and that it doesn't uphold the same super hero values and ethical standpoints.
