We actually got a Deadpool movie. Serious!

Ryan Reynolds redeems himself as a credible lead with the outrageously violent and raunchy star vehicle Deadpool. This is proof that style over substance isn't always a bad thing. The plot is the standard stuff you'd expect in a superhero movie. But how often do you see opening credits that make fun of not just the cast but the producers and the director too? How often does a love interest in a superhero movie relish the chance to peg her boyfriend? How many F bombs and dick jokes can you pack into a 100 minute blockbuster? Or Gina Carano actually give a decent performance? Deadpool has all that and more. It's not quite the masterpiece as some fanboys are claiming but it's the Deadpool movie people actually wanted to expected to see and that's good enough for me.
