Today I will be writing about a movie that easily made it to my Top 10 list of my favorite movies of all time. I’m always saying how I love comedies and superhero movies so much, and this movie was the perfect fit for both. Deadpool made it’s debut on February 12, 2016, and was an immediate hit. It is still filling up the theaters to this day. As soon as I saw Marvel was releasing a Deadpool film way back in the summer of 2015, I knew it was going to be absolutely amazing. And it was.

Ryan Reynolds, sometimes known as the sexiest man alive, starred as Wade Wilson, or Deadpool, in this movie. I think one of the reasons for the movie’s success was Reynold’s amazing performance in this movie. His sarcastic sharp edged wit was the perfect fit for Deadpool. In the comics Deadpool is known as the merc with a mouth and is always known for his inappropriate jokes and swear words. Ryan Reynolds brought the perfect personality to show this. He has also had his experience playing a superhero role starring in The Green Lantern (2011) and making an appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009).
The story is about an ex military-vet and mercenary Wade Wilson. After falling in love with prostitute Vanessa Carlysle (Morena Baccarin) he finds out he has terminal cancer. Doing whatever it takes to live and be with her, Wilson joins the Weapon X initiative, after receiving a message saying they can heal him. Wilson undergoes a series of torturous treatments done by a British mutant and doctor known as Ajax. He ends up becoming mutated cured of cancer, and is left with regenerative powers, but is left extremely scarred and ugly. Fueled with rage, Wilson, now known as Deadpool goes out to seek revenge on Ajax so he can turn back to original self. Being practically unable to die, the merc with a mouth goes on a blood and swear word filled journey to find Ajax and get his girl back.
This movie has everything from action to love to humor to horror and everything in between. It was Marvel’s first R-rated release, so there are some sexual scenes, plenty of violence and lots of swearing. It was filled with Wade Wilson’s quick sarcastic one-liners and raunchy humor. One of my favorite aspects of the movie was the order in which they told the story. It was not told chronologically. Instead, they switched between “present” and past the whole first half of the movie, showing how Wade Wilson became Deadpool. Once you were all caught up, it went from “present” to the end of the movie. It was a very cool and unique way of doing things, and it told the story very well.
Since Deadpool had never ending hilarious quotes and one liners, I will give you my top 5.
