After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, mercenary Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) agrees to undergo a rogue treatment. There he is subjected to constant torture by Ajax (Ed Skrein) until his mutant genes are forced to trigger. Not only is his cancer cured, but he is left with abilities to heal at an accelerated pace. With these new powers, he becomes Deadpool and begins his search to exact revenge on Ajax, all the while equipped with a dark sense of humour.
Review by Claire Durrant
Yes! After all the waiting, I finally got to see the highly anticipated Deadpool. This has been a film I've been looking forward to from the moment the rough cut of a short scene was uploaded to Youtube.
This is certainly not a Marvel film for the children.
Iron Man will give you a one liner and then flash you an arrogant smirk, Deadpool will give you a one liner and then chop off your head.
There is a reason why this film has a 15 certificate: it is violent, gory and insensitive.
They say everyone was put on earth to do something. Ryan Reynolds purpose was to play Deadpool. The humour of the character is similar to his Van Wilder days. So think crude, and immature...but this time also warped. He is perfect in this role.
Although the story is basic, standard for this type of film even and the villain (Ed Skrien) suffers in comparison to other, better baddies, fans of Deadpool will not be disappointed.
