Deadpool movie review - Aussieboyreviews

IS DEADPOOL JUST AS BLOODY AS THE MATURE RATING SUGGESTS?

This Marvel movie contains strong violence, sex and language; it’s definitely not for kids, but is suitable for older teens. It’s also hilarious and awesomely action-packed.

Storyline

Wade Wilson is the subject of an experiment to cure him of cancer and give him healing powers. The experiment leaves Wade immortal but with a disfigured appearance, so he decides to exact revenge.

Aussie boy's thoughts

Ryan Reynolds easily arranges a delightful, fresh and witty antihero who truly earns his amusing addition to the MCU. However, Deadpool isn’t just the typical Marvel tale you’d witness in the cinema. It’s naturally entertaining and achieves constantly hysterical laughter. In preferable words, the idea is actually very simple, but results in a unique and effective actioner.

Unlike most of the previous Marvel flicks, Deadpool is excessively bloody, sexy and foul-mouthed. It earns it mature rating and isn’t targeted at kids. But there will be a great amount of appreciation for this action-comedy by teenagers and adults, especially of those who love superhero tales. Reynolds was clearly born for the role, the songs were sung for a place in the excitement and the humour is perfect.

The credits, opening and ending, are absolutely hysterical, but the storytelling is Deadpool’s greatest feature. It cuts from violent action to touches of reasonable backstory behind the maskless character’s appearance. Overall, it’s hilarious and creative – a must watch for action-comedy audiences.
