Deadpool is a 2016 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Distributed by 20th Century Fox, it is the eighth installment of the X-Men film series and the first standalone Deadpool film. Directed by Tim Miller from a screenplay by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the film stars Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool alongside Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T. J. Miller, Gina Carano and Brianna Hildebrand. In the film, Wilson—as the antihero Deadpool—hunts down the man who gave him mutant abilities and caused his scarred physical appearance.

Development of a Deadpool film starring Reynolds began in February 2004, before he went on to play the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009. Reese and Wernick were hired for a spinoff in 2010. They worked with Reynolds to adapt the character more faithfully (including his fourth wall breaking) after the portrayal in Wolverine was criticized for not doing so. Miller was hired in 2011 marking his directorial debut. An enthusiastic response to leaked test footage he created with Reynolds led to a green-light from Fox in 2014. Additional casting began in early 2015, and filming took place in Vancouver, Canada, from March to May of that year. Several vendors provided visual effects for the film, ranging from the addition of blood and gore to the creation of the CG character Colossus.

Deadpool was released in the United States on February 12, 2016, after an unconventional marketing campaign. The film achieved both financial and critical success. It earned over $783 million against a $58 million budget, breaking numerous records: it became the highest-grossing R-rated film, the highest-grossing X-Men film, and the ninth-highest-grossing 2016 film. Critics praised Reynolds' performance, the film's style and faithfulness to the comics, and its action sequences. Some detractors criticized the plot as formulaic as well as the sheer number of jokes in the film. It also received many awards and nominations, including two Critics' Choice Awards and two Golden Globe nominations. A sequel, Deadpool 2, was released on May 18, 2018.

Plot[edit]

Wade Wilson is a dishonorably discharged special forces operative working as a mercenary when he meets Vanessa, a prostitute. They become romantically involved, and a year later she accepts his marriage proposal. Wilson is diagnosed with terminal cancer, and leaves Vanessa without warning so she will not have to watch him die.

A mysterious recruiter approaches Wilson, offering an experimental cure for his cancer. He is taken to Ajax and Angel Dust, who inject him with a serum designed to awaken latent mutant genes. They subject Wilson to days of torture to induce stress and trigger any mutation he may have, without success. When Wilson discovers Ajax's real name is Francis and mocks him for it, Ajax leaves Wilson in a hyperbaric chamber that periodically takes him to the verge of asphyxiation over a weekend. This finally activates a superhuman healing ability that cures the cancer but leaves Wilson severely disfigured with burn-like scars over his entire body. He escapes from the chamber and attacks Ajax but relents when told that his disfigurement can be cured. Ajax subdues Wilson and leaves him for dead in the now-burning laboratory.

Wilson survives and seeks out Vanessa. He does not reveal to her he is alive fearing her reaction to his new appearance. After consulting with his best friend Weasel, Wilson decides to hunt down Ajax for the cure. He becomes a masked vigilante, adopting the name 'Deadpool' (from Weasel picking him in a dead pool), and moves into the home of an elderly blind woman named Al. He questions and murders many of Ajax's men until one, the recruiter, reveals his whereabouts. Deadpool intercepts Ajax and a convoy of armed men on an expressway. He kills everyone but Ajax, and demands the cure from him but the X-Man Colossus and his trainee Negasonic Teenage Warhead interrupt him. Colossus wants Deadpool to mend his ways and join the X-Men. Taking advantage of this distraction, Ajax escapes. He goes to Weasel's bar where he learns of Vanessa.

Ajax kidnaps Vanessa and takes her to a decommissioned helicarrier in a scrapyard. Deadpool convinces Colossus and Negasonic to help him. They battle Angel Dust and several soldiers while Deadpool fights his way to Ajax. During the battle, Negasonic accidentally destroys the equipment stabilizing the helicarrier. Deadpool protects Vanessa from the collapsing ship, while Colossus carries Negasonic and Angel Dust to safety. Ajax attacks Deadpool again but is overpowered. He reveals there is no cure after all and, despite Colossus's pleading, Deadpool kills him. He promises to try to be more heroic moving forward. Though Vanessa is angry with Wilson for leaving her, she reconciles with him.

Cast[edit]

(L-R) Tim Miller, Reynolds, Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Hildebrand, Skrein, and Carano speaking at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con
  • Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool:
    A wisecracking mercenary with accelerated healing but severe scarring over his body after undergoing an experimental mutation.[3][4] The writers described Deadpool as 'fun to hang out with ... in short doses'.[5] Reynolds promised a more 'authentic' and comic-faithful version of the character than the one he portrayed in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009).[6] The character becomes aware he is in a film after becoming Deadpool, though before this Wilson does make a joke about Reynolds's role in Green Lantern (2011).[7]
  • Morena Baccarin as Vanessa:
    An escort and Wilson's fiancée.[8][4] Baccarin described Vanessa as 'scrappy' and not a damsel in distress. The character was initially designed as a 'typical prostitute', but Baccarin worked with the costume and makeup teams to make her appearance more layered.[9] The film does not explore the character's comic alter-ego 'Copycat', as the writers wanted to focus on Deadpool.[10] Makeup designer Bill Corso, however, included some references to Copycat's blue appearance in the comics.[11]
  • Ed Skrein as Francis Freeman / Ajax:
    An artificially-mutated member of the program that creates Deadpool.[12] He feels no pain and has enhanced strength.[4] Director Tim Miller praised Skrein's dedication to the role, saying 'he worked really, really hard' for the fight sequences and completed around 80 percent of his own stunts in the film.[7] Skrein was influenced by Rutger Hauer's Roy Batty from Blade Runner (1982), and serial killer Harold Shipman.[13]
  • T.J. Miller as Weasel:
    Wilson's best friend.[14][15] Miller felt he was cast as the character because he 'looks like his superhero power is spilling mustard on his shirt'. Producer Simon Kinberg added that an actor was needed 'who could keep up with' Reynolds comedically. Miller attempted to give the character a facial tic, but director Tim Miller rejected the idea.[16]
  • Gina Carano as Angel Dust:
    An artificially-mutated member of the program that creates Deadpool.[17] She has superhuman strength and speed.[4] Director Miller personally called Carano and asked her to take the part. Carano felt the character's rage and 'extreme adrenaline issues' made comparisons to the drug 'angel dust' fitting.[17] She had wanted to wear yellow contact lenses to match the character's look in the comics, but Corso turned the idea down, comparing it to something from the Twilight films.[11]
  • Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead:
    A teenage X-Men trainee, who possesses the mutant power to detonate atomic bursts from her body.[18][4] The filmmakers wanted to use the character based on her name and looked to change her comic abilities from telepathic and precognitive powers to 'a literal warhead'. They required permission from Marvel to do this, which Tim Miller obtained after talking with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.[19][7] A deal was reached allowing the change in exchange for 20th Century Fox giving Marvel Studios the film rights to the character Ego the Living Planet for use in their film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017).[20]

Stefan Kapičić provides the voice of Colossus, an X-Man with the mutant ability to transform his entire body into organic steel.[21][4] Writer Rhett Reese called him 'a great foil to Deadpool because he's very self-serious and goody-two-shoes'.[10] Director Miller changed the character drastically from his previous film appearances, where he was portrayed by Daniel Cudmore. Miller felt the Cudmore version, which he described as '[t]hat dude with the shiny skin', was 'not fucking Colossus.' He wanted the character to be seven-and-a-half feet tall.[7]Andre Tricoteux stood in for a CG version of Colossus on set,[22] and Kapičić was cast to give the character an 'authentic Russian accent' like he has in the comics.[21]

Leslie Uggams portrays Blind Al, an elderly blind woman and Deadpool's roommate.[23][24] Uggams said that Al has 'been through British Intelligence, she's done all kinds of wild and crazy things ... she's old, but she's feisty.' Uggams added that Al has a 'love/hate' relationship with Deadpool.[24]Karan Soni appears as Dopinder, a taxi driver who befriends Deadpool,[25] and Jed Rees portrays a recruiter for Ajax.[7] X-Men co-creator Stan Lee and Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld make cameo appearances as a strip club emcee and a patron of Weasel's bar, respectively.[26][27] Rob Hayter makes a cameo appearance as Bob, Agent of Hydra, a recurring character in the comics alongside Deadpool.[27] The rights for Bob are owned by Marvel Studios. They did not give permission for him to be used in the film, so his comic history and connections to the Hydra organization are not referenced in the film. He is explained instead as a former special forces operative like Wilson.[28]Hugh Jackman, who portrayed Wolverine in the X-Men film series, was very supportive of Deadpool and it making fun of himself and his character. He is seen in the film on a People magazineSexiest Man Alive cover.[10]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Artisan Entertainment announced a deal with Marvel Entertainment in May 2000 to co-produce, finance, and distribute several films based on Marvel Comics' characters, including Deadpool.[29] By February 2004, writer and director David S. Goyer and Ryan Reynolds were working on a Deadpool film at New Line Cinema. They had worked together on the Marvel film Blade: Trinity.[30] Reynolds was interested in the part of Deadpool after learning that in the comics the character refers to his appearance as 'Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar-Pei'.[31] New Line executive Jeff Katz, who thought Reynolds was the only actor suitable for the role, championed the idea. However, there were rights issues with 20th Century Fox and their X-Men films, and the project did not move forward.[32]

By March 2005, Reynolds learned that Fox had expressed interest in a film featuring Deadpool.[33] The character was set to make a cameo appearance in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with Reynolds cast in the part. His role was expanded during the film's production.[34] Katz was an executive at Fox at that point, and said that Deadpool was 'nicely set up to be explored in his own way' in a future film.[32] The film's portrayal deviates from the original comic character, 'imbuing him with several superpowers and sewing his mouth shut'. Deadpool apparently dies in the film, though a post-credits scene showing him still alive was added to the film shortly before its release. After the successful opening weekend of Wolverine, Fox officially began development on Deadpool, with Reynolds attached to star and X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner involved. The spinoff was set to ignore the Wolverine version of Deadpool and return to the character's roots with a slapstick tone and a 'propensity to break the fourth wall'.[35]

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were hired to write the script in January 2010.[36] Reynolds, who worked closely with them, said they were chosen because, 'Tonally, they got it. They just [understood Deadpool] right off the bat.'[37] By that June, Robert Rodriguez had been asked to direct the film.[38] He confirmed this a month later, saying he had been sent a 'really good' script and was considering taking on the project.[39] By October he was no longer interested in it, and Adam Berg was being looked at to direct the film.[40] In April 2011, Tim Miller was hired after working on the visual effects for some of the X-Men films,[41] in part because of his work creating animated short films. These included the Academy Award-winningGopher Broke and a DC Universe Online trailer which was 'epic and cinematic, everything [Fox wanted] their comic book movies to be'.[42][43] Miller would make his directorial debut with the film, while Reynolds closed a deal with Fox to produce the film.[41]

Reynolds's Green Lantern superhero film was released later in 2011 and was 'a disaster'. This tainted the Deadpool project. Fox executives were already concerned about its R-rated content. After several meetings the studio agreed the film could not be reconfigured for a more traditional PG-13 rating, and gave Miller 'a low-six-figure budget' to produce some test footage.[42] He created the footage using CGI at his animation company Blur Studio in 2012, with Reynolds voicing Deadpool.[44] The footage did not convince Fox to green-light the film.[42] After the successful May release of Marvel's The Avengers, Reese and Wernick thought Deadpool might be approved as an already developed superhero film. Fox was actually even more doubtful about the script, however, and began exploring ways to include Deadpool in an Avengers-esque team-up film.[45] At different times during development, James Cameron and David Fincher, both friends of Miller, read the film's script and championed the project to Fox executives.[46]

'I would have [leaked the test footage], if I had known it would have caused that! ... Now, we get to make the movie. We don't get to make it with the budget of most superhero movies, but we get to make it the way we want to make it.'

—Star and producer Ryan Reynolds on Deadpool finally getting the green-light after the test footage leak.[47]

The test footage was leaked online in July 2014,[48] and was met with an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response.[42] That September, Fox gave Deadpool a release date of February 12, 2016.[49] Production was set to begin in March 2015, with Simon Kinberg joining as producer.[3] Reynolds attributed Fox's green-lighting of the film entirely to the leak. He, Miller and the writers had previously discussed leaking the footage themselves, and Reynolds initially thought that Miller had done so. He later believed the leak came from someone at Fox. In exchange for being able to make the film the way they wanted, Fox gave the crew a much smaller budget than is typical for superhero films.[47]

Writing[edit]

Reese and Wernick wrote a draft of the script each year before completing the film,[10] with around 70 percent of the first draft ending up in the final film.[5] Reese described Reynolds as 'the keeper of the Deadpool flame for many years ... if we ever do something that is off the Deadpool path, or if it doesn't feel like Deadpool, he catches it.'[50] The writers did not want the film to be an origin story, but Reynolds disagreed. They settled on a 'modern' Deadpool story as well as the origin story connected by Deadpool's narration and fourth wall breaking. This helped to balance the darker origin story with the cartoon-like Deadpool scenes. It also allowed the opening fight sequence to be extended through the first half of the film (with the origin story told throughout), saving money on additional fight scenes.[10] This fight sequence labeled the 'Twelve Bullets Fight' reimagines the original test footage.[7] Once the origin story is told, Deadpool uses a 'fast-forward button' to return the audience to the present day.[10]

In October 2014, Kinberg confirmed that Deadpool would be set in the same shared universe as the X-Men films, but would 'stand independently'.[51] The writers wanted a traditional X-Man in the film as a foil to Deadpool and felt Colossus was a character who had not been explored much in previous films.[10] Miller wanted 'more superhero stuff', instead of 'just Deadpool and a lot of guns'. The character Negasonic Teenage Warhead was added as a trainee X-Man mentored by Colossus.[10][7] She was chosen for her name from the list of comic characters available for use by Fox.[7] The characters Garrison Kane, Wyre, and Sluggo were included in the script at one point, but ultimately removed for budgetary reasons.[7][46]Cannonball and Tar Baby were also considered.[7][13] These villains were replaced by a single character, Angel Dust.[52] The Cable character was also set to appear, but was eventually pushed to a potential sequel so this film could 'get Deadpool on his feet' first.[46]

The writers worked to keep the script's pop-culture references up-to-date throughout its development.[13] Kinberg confirmed the film would make fun of Deadpool's portrayal in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.[51] It also includes jokes at the expense of Green Lantern.[7] While Miller felt it was okay for audience members not to understand all of the film's jokes, he wanted to avoid anything targeted specifically at comic fans. He was not in favor of any joke the audience 'needs to look up on the internet' after the movie ends.[7] The film's post-credits scene is a parody of the equivalent scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), where the title character of that film breaks the fourth wall like Deadpool. In the parody scene, Deadpool wears a bath robe and tells the audience to go home.[53] He also confirms that Cable will appear in the sequel.[54] After reading the scene, a Fox executive described the film as combination of Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Natural Born Killers (1994), a description the writers felt was accurate.[53]

Co-writer Rhett Reese said the studio's cuts to the film's budget made the script more efficient[52]

48 hours before the film received the official green-light from Fox, the studio cut its budget by $7–$8 million,[52] down to $58 million.[2] This forced a last minute re-write that saw about nine pages cut from the 110-page script. Changes included the removal of a motorcycle chase at the end of the Twelve Bullets Fight and having Deadpool forget his bag of guns before the final battle sequence to avoid having to shoot a costly gun fight in the third act. Reese said, 'It was that last, lean and mean chop that got us to a place where Fox was willing to make it. The script was very efficient and not too long. That was a function of budget more than anything, but I think it really made the movie pace nicely.'[52]

Pre-production[edit]

In January 2015, T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein were in talks to appear in the film, Miller as 'an additional comic voice' and Skrein as a villain.[55] A month later, Fox was testing actresses to portray the female lead, including Morena Baccarin, Taylor Schilling, Crystal Reed, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Sarah Greene and Jessica De Gouw.[56]Gina Carano was cast as Angel Dust, and Miller was confirmed for an unspecified role.[15] Baccarin was cast as Deadpool's love interest before the end of February.[8] Colossus actor Daniel Cudmore said he would not be reprising the role for Deadpool,[57] and declined an offer to provide reference for a CG version of the character to be voiced by another actor.[58]

An immediate focus during pre-production was Deadpool's suit.[59] Russ Shinkle and Film Illusions were hired to create the costume. Shinkle noted that 'comic book art is fairly over the top in terms of physique', and he tried to balance that with reality.[60] Reynolds did not wear a muscle suit under the costume, which Tim Miller felt gave it a slimmer, 'quintessential Deadpool' look.[61] Miller and Reynolds wept when they saw the completed costume.[61][62] Reynolds explained, 'we fought like hell ... to make this the most faithful comic book to movie adaptation fans have ever seen. That's hard to accomplish and a feat, but we're just so happy with how this came out.'[62] The costume was designed with the film's stunts in mind. The mask's eye areas were removable so versions of the eyes better suited for the stunts could be used without having to change the whole mask.[60] The suit was difficult for the visual effects team to replicate with CGI. Visual effects supervisor Jonathan Rothbart blamed this on the suit's fabric. He described it as mesh that allowed dirt to 'get into the gutters and the cracks ... [so when] the light hits it, it still takes that orangey hue but as soon as it goes in the shadow it dropped to this more blueish of the dirt.'[22] Film Illusions made six hero versions of the costume and twelve stunt-specific versions, along with three hero versions of Negasonic Teenage Warhead's costume.[63]

Miller wanted Deadpool's scarred appearance to make him appear 'fucking horrible' to justify his anger.[7] Makeup designer Bill Corso had some leeway because in the comics 'he's everything from a rotten corpse to a guy with a couple of lines on his face'. Corso acknowledged the script's description of the character as 'disfigured' but also wanted him to be 'kind of charming and iconic'. He wanted to avoid comparisons with Freddy Krueger and looked to Sin City (2005) for inspiration.[11] The final makeup required nine silicone prosthetics to cover Reynolds's head, which took several hours to apply.[64] For the scene where the character is naked, it took six hours to apply Reynold's full-body makeup.[7] Corso described the makeup for the rest of the film's characters as 'pretty simple. Tim wanted to keep it really grounded.'[11]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography began on March 23, 2015, in Vancouver, Canada, under the working titleWham!. Filming took place at North Shore Studios and on location around the city.[65] The production hired over 2,000 locals as actors, extras and crew members.[66] T. J. Miller and Baccarin were revealed to be playing Weasel and Vanessa, respectively.[67][14] Skrein confirmed he was in the film, playing Ajax.[68] Newcomer Brianna Hildebrand was cast as Negasonic Teenage Warhead.[18]

Tim Miller and cinematographer Ken Seng wanted the film to look 'grittier and less clean and glossy' than other superhero films. They decided to shoot with digital cameras but add film grain in post-production to give the images texture. Seng used Super Baltar lenses and Cooke zooms for the origin story timeline, and Panavision primo lenses for the Deadpool scenes which gave them more clarity. The film's exterior scenes have a consistent overcast look, but location shooting came with 'unpredictable' weather.[69] For instance, the production had use of the Georgia Viaduct for two weeks and shot rain or shine before their permit expired. Seng used more lighting on cloudy days and less on sunny days to keep a consistent look.[69][65] Production designer Sean Haworth, who had specific ideas for the sets, also worked closely with Miller. The production had to be very specific about which elements of each set were constructed to conserve the budget for visual effects. For the final scrapyard scene, garbage was built to a certain height to be extended with CGI. A gimbal was used for a tilting section of the yard that had to interact with many digital elements.[70][71] The final sequence was filmed in a naval yard dressed with scrap metal. Rubber casts of the metal were made for stunts.[72]

Stunt coordinator Philip J. Silvera in costume as Deadpool on set in Vancouver[73]

When Fox was unwilling to pay Reese and Wernick to be on set every day,[5] Reynolds paid their salaries.[74] The writers had scripted the action very specifically, 'every kill and almost down to every punch, kick, or shot', but Tim Miller and the stunt coordinators were free to change this.[5] Robert Alonzo and Philip J. Silvera were the film's stunt coordinators;[22] Silvera had provided motion capture reference for the test footage.[75] The stunt team had a month before filming began to prepare the actors. Skrein worked 'nonstop' to prepare. Silvera said Reynolds 'has a photographic memory; he'd do something three or four times and remember it very well.'[76] A lot of the film's jokes were improvised on set, particularly by Reynolds.[10] He said the actors often came up with around 15 alternate jokes for each one in the script, and were generally only limited to those because of time constraints.[77] For example, Reese said Wernick had written some jokes for the scene where Deadpool visits Colossus and Negasonic. Instead Reynolds improvised the line on set, 'You know it's funny how I only see the two of you here. It's like the studio couldn't afford any more X-Men.' This was based in truth and became then Fox chairman Jim Gianopulos' favorite line.[10] Filming ended on May 29.[78]

Post-production[edit]

Leslie Uggams said that she was in the film in July 2015, portraying Blind Al.[23] Tim Miller stated that Jed Rees portrays 'The Recruiter', and 'did a good job of being creepy and syrupy sweet'. Miller explained that Colossus would be a solely CGI creation in the film,[7] with Andre Tricoteux cast to provide motion reference on set for the role along with the voice.[22][21] In December, the voice of Colossus was recast, with Stefan Kapičić taking over the role. He completed his work eight weeks before the film was scheduled for release.[21]

As soon as editor Julian Clarke began selecting shots for the film, they were color graded by EFILM's Tim Stipan to ensure they all matched.[69][79] Stipan colored the characters slightly differently. He gave Deadpool a 'dark, modern touch' and Colossus a 'particular vibrancy and substance'.[80] Clarke edited each scene focusing on humor, choosing between alternate takes of jokes. He removed jokes made after Vanessa is kidnapped because they felt inappropriately timed. He cut down other scenes with fewer jokes, such as Wilson being tortured, as they were 'too much'. It would take the audience 'too long to recover [and] get back in the irreverent spirit of the movie.' During editing, a linear version of the film was produced. Clarke decided to go with interweaving the timelines to balance the different serious and silly tones.[79]

One sequence removed from the film saw Wilson and Vanessa travel to Mexico looking for a cure after he turned down the recruiter. It was removed for pacing reasons and replaced with a short scene of Wilson sitting beside his window that was originally filmed to show him thinking about his diagnosis. In its new context the scene implies him re-thinking the recruiter's offer.[81]

Because of the animation required for Deadpool's mask and Colossus, Reese and Wernick had more freedom than usual to keep adjusting the script during post-production. Reynolds recorded new dialogue using his iPhone, and then re-recorded the lines in an additional dialogue recording session once the film was finalized. Lines added after filming included Reynolds doing an impression of Wolverine star Hugh Jackman's natural Australian accent, and another where Deadpool asks whether the character Professor X is being portrayed by James McAvoy or Patrick Stewart at that point in the X-Men timeline. This became a favorite line in the film for many audience members.[82]

Visual effects[edit]

Digital Domain (DD), Atomic Fiction, Blur Studio, Weta Digital, Rodeo FX and Luma Pictures produced Deadpool's visual effects.[22] Reynolds credited Miller and his visual effects experience with producing a film that looked like others made with bigger budgets.[77] Motion capture supervisor Greg LaSalle agreed, noting that Miller held off working on the CGI for Colossus until after the film was edited to avoid spending money on shots that would not be used.[83] Miller worked with visual effects supervisor Jonathan Rothbart to design and complete the film's 1500 effects shots—700 more than originally planned. 800 of them were completed in the last four weeks of production.[84]

Colossus's movements were re-recorded with performer T.J. Storm, as Tricoteux had been unable to move athletically because of the platform shoes he wore on set to replicate the character's height. LaSalle was used for his facial performance. DD then mapped these performances onto a digital model that was designed to be comic-accurate. The team sought specific reference for Colossus's metallic finish to avoid looking 'chromey', visiting a metal company to look at samples. They settled on cold rolled steel, with the darker hot rolled steel used for his hair. The model also includes ridges which could be moved separately to keep them perfectly straight as in the comic books.[22] DD also created the model of Deadpool that was used by all the FX vendors. His mask was animated around the eyes to be expressive as in the comics. This helped balance out the 'chinwag' coming through the bottom of the mask as Reynolds's acted. Fully Replacing Deadpool's head was going to be too costly, so Weta Digital warped each shot based on facial references from Reynolds and adjusted the lighting to reflect the changes instead. This was called an 'ingenious 2D-ish solution'.[22]

Atomic Fiction created a freeway environment for the Twelve Bullets Fight, with a backdrop based on Detroit, Chicago, and Vancouver. They also created the vehicles used in the sequence.[22] These assets were used by Blur for the opening titles, which move through a frozen moment where Deadpool is fighting thugs inside a crashing car. The amusing titles include 'Directed by an overpaid tool' and 'Produced by asshats'.[22] Reynolds, Miller, and the writers came up with their own credits hoping to set the tone for the film.[10]

Luma contributed the film's blood and gore using practical footage as well as digital effects for more complex scenes. When Deadpool cuts off his own hand, DD did not want to be 'outdone' by Luma and had 'buckets of blood pouring out'. Luma created the regrowing hand, inspired by the hand of a fetus.[22] When Deadpool breaks both his hands, DD went through 20 or 30 different versions of what broken fingers could look like.[66] For Deadpool's initial scarring from the warehouse fire, Rodeo FX referenced rotting fruit and maggot-eaten meat. The company added a CG penis to Reynolds in this sequence, which visual effects supervisor Wayne Brinton said, 'you don't even notice [but] when it wasn't there it looked really weird'. Rodeo also augmented the practical fire in the scene.[22]

The vendors all collaborated for the final battle sequence, which takes place in the wreckage of a helicarrier. Luma created the climactic fight between Deadpool and Ajax; DD created most of the Colossus effects until he is damaged when Blur Studio took over; DD created the effects for Negasonic Teenage Warhead's abilities as well as expanding the helicarrier's deck; Rodeo contributed matte paintings for the background; and Weta provided the facial animation for Deadpool.[22][85] Negasonic's abilities were the only 'supernatural effect-sy thing' in the film, and were based on fuel-air explosives and solar flares to try ground them in reality.[84] Setting the final sequence on the wrecked helicarrier was Miller's idea. This helped to expand the scope of the third act and include more connections to the comics and the wider Marvel Universe.[86] To avoid rights issues with Marvel Studios, the helicarrier for Deadpool was designed to be 'as different as possible from the one in The Avengers'.[85] Additionally, a French animation artist with a 'unique style' created 2D cartoon characters that dance around Deadpool after he is stabbed in the head during the fight.[22]

Music[edit]

Tom Holkenborg announced in October 2015 that he would compose the score for Deadpool.[87] Noting that Deadpool only makes pre-1990 musical references,[88] Holkenborg decided to use sounds from the 1980s in the movie's main theme, such as those of an Oberheim and a Synclavier .[89][90] Several songs were written in to Reese and Wernick's script to be used in the film. Some of these ultimately did not work as intended. For example, the sex montage with Wilson and Vanessa was to play out to Frank Sinatra's version of 'It Was a Very Good Year' in the script, but this was changed to Neil Sedaka's 'Calendar Girl' during editing.[81] A soundtrack album featuring Holkenborg's score and the songs heard in the film was released digitally on February 12, 2016, and physically on March 4 through Milan Records.[91]

Marketing[edit]

The marketing budget for Deadpool was limited so Reynolds worked closely with Fox's domestic marketing chief Marc Weinstock to use the Internet to their advantage and come up with cheaper, 'Deadpool-based' ways to market the film.[92][93] This included unique trailers,[94][95] unconventional billboards,[96][97] promotional tie-ins with Super Bowl L and Viacom[98][99] and an extensive social media presence.[96] Reynolds kept one of the Deadpool costumes for himself, and appeared in it throughout the marketing campaign.[59] Visual effects vendor Image Engine animated Deadpool's mask for these appearances, using a process similar to that used by Weta Digital for the film.[22] Emma Grey Ellis at Wired.com described the campaign as 'crazy and unrelenting' with Deadpool waging 'a relentless marketing siege of every platform you would think of—and some you didn’t.'[96] Bobby Anhalt at Screen Rant called it possibly 'the best film marketing campaign in the history of cinema'.[97]HostGator's Jeremy Jensen attributed the campaign's success to Reynolds, and to Fox for embracing the film's R rating.[100]

Release[edit]

Theatrical[edit]

Deadpool's world premiere was held at the Grand Rex in Paris on February 8, 2016,[101] before its initial theatrical release in Hong Kong the next day. This was followed by releases in 49 other markets over the next few days, including the United States on February 12.[49][102] The movie was released in several formats, including IMAX, DLP, premium large formats, and D-Box.[81]

Kinberg explained that unlike the previous X-Men films, Deadpool is 'a hard R. It's graphic. Nothing is taboo. You either commit to a truly outrageous boundary-pushing kind of movie or you don't.'[103] China forbid the film's release because of this. Though R-rated American films are often 'cleaned-up' for release there, it was decided that doing so was impossible without affecting the plot.[104] It was not released in Uzbekistan after theater owners in the country decided against showing the film because of its age restriction and how it violated the country's societal norms.[105]Deadpool received seven 'general cuts' to obtain approval for release in India.[106] Despite being blocked in China during this initial release, Deadpool eventually premiered in the country during the 2018 Beijing International Film Festival, which ran over a week from April 15–22. The original version of the film played at the festival without any edits being made specifically for Chinese censors.[107][108]

Home media[edit]

Deadpool was released for digital download on April 26, 2016, moved up from the physical home media release, which came on May 10. The latter release, for Blu-ray and DVD, included behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and two audio commentaries: one by Tim Miller and Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld, and another by Reynolds, Reese, and Wernick.[109] On November 7, Fox re-released the film and its special features on Blu-ray for the holiday season, as Deadpool's Holiday Blu-ray package.[110] The film was re-released again in April 2018 in a Deadpool Two Year Anniversary Edition Blu-ray package, with collectible covers as well as 'stickers, car decals, temporary tattoos and a set of paper dolls'. A 4K UHD Steelbook version was also released exclusively through Best Buy featuring original artwork.[111]

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

Deadpool grossed $363.1 million in the United States and Canada and $420 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $783.1 million, against a budget of $58 million.[2] It broke numerous records with its opening weekend gross across the world, and went on to become the highest-grossing R-rated film and the highest-grossing X-Men film,[112][113] as well as the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2016.[114]Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $322 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film, making it the second-most profitable release of 2016. When discussing potential reasons for the film's surprise success, the site highlighted its marketing campaign.[115]

At the end of January 2016, the film was projected to earn $55–60 million over its opening weekend in the United States and Canada.[116] Fox's rivals projected the film to earn closer to $80 million. It ultimately opened at No. 1, making $132.4 million for the weekend, and $152.2 million over the long Presidents' Day weekend. Trying to explain this surprise, Fox's domestic distribution chief Chris Aronson said 'it's hard to comp and predict. You're doing something that's never been done. It's like you throw the rulebook out the window.' The weekend included $12.7 million from Thursday preview showings on February 11, $47.5 million on its opening day, $42.5 million on February 13, and $42.6 million on February 14, as well as $19.8 million on February 15 to end the long weekend. These were all day-of-the-week records for R-rated films and days in February for Thursday through Monday. $16.8 million of this came from IMAX screens, a record opening weekend for R-rated films and February releases in that format.[117]Deadpool earned an additional $55 million in its second weekend. This kept it at No. 1, and made it the fastest R-rated film to cross $200 million, doing so in nine days.[118][119] It became the highest-grossing X-Men film and R-rated comic book superhero film the next day.[120] It remained in the No. 1 position for its third week,[121] but fell behind Zootopia and London Has Fallen the following week.[122]Deadpool's domestic run ended on June 17, after 126 days, with $363.1 million.[123][2] This was shortly after it became the highest-grossing R-rated film worldwide.[112] The film's U.S. audience, across its whole run, was 59% Caucasian, 21% Hispanic, 12% African-American, and 8% Asian. It was also 62% male, and had an average age of 35.[124]

The film was released in 80 markets around the world, many of them in its first week. This included the United Kingdom, France, and Australia on its first day, February 9, where it was the No. 1 film and broke several records. The film also opened well in Asian countries, notably Taiwan—where Reynolds had traveled for promotion and made the 'central hub' of South East Asia for the film—and Hong Kong, where the film had the biggest Chinese New Year single day ever.[125] It went on to gross $132.2 million for its international opening weekend, which included $9 million from IMAX showings breaking opening weekend records for February releases and R-rated films in that format in several markets. It was the No. 1 film in all markets where it was released over the weekend, except Poland and Malaysia where it was No. 2 behind local films Planet Single and The Mermaid, respectively.[126] The film broke the record for biggest opening weekend in Russia and Thailand, and set records for biggest R-rated film and February opening weekends in several other markets.[127] It remained No. 1 for the international box office in its second weekend, making an additional $84.7 million from 77 markets. The film made No. 1 debuts in 17 new countries, including Korea, Spain, and Italy, and maintained its No. 1 position in countries like the UK, Germany, and Brazil. Its South East Asia performance was compared favorably to bigger superhero films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier (both 2014).[128]Deadpool was No. 1 for a third consecutive weekend,[129] before falling to No. 3 behind Ip Man 3 and Zootopia in its fourth.[130]Deadpool opened in its final market, Japan, in June, and was the No. 1 film there, with a $6.5 million opening weekend.[131]

Critical response[edit]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 84% based on 326 reviews, with an average rating of 7.01/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'Fast, funny, and gleefully profane, the fourth-wall-busting Deadpool subverts superhero film formula with wildly entertaining—and decidedly non-family-friendly—results.'[132] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 65 out of 100, based on 49 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.[133] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of 'A' on an A+ to F scale. PostTrak reported an average positive score of 97%, with 45% of filmgoers saying the film exceeded their expectations.[117]

Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post scored Deadpool three-and-a-half out of four, calling it a 'voraciously self-aware comedy' and the first R-rated Marvel film 'with real teeth'. He praised the film's attitude and tone, Reynolds for making Deadpool a likeable character and the film's action scenes.[134]TheWrap's Alonso Duralde said Deadpool 'shouldn't work, but it absolutely does', feeling that it successfully balanced comedy with superhero action, and that the chemistry between Reynolds and Baccarin gave enough weight to the plot to support the tone and violence.[135] Calvin Wilson at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch also gave the film three-and-a-half out of four, saying it was 'smart, sexy, and outrageous', but that it would not work without Reynolds.[136]The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw gave the film four out of five calling it 'neurotic and needy—and very entertaining', comparing it to Kick-Ass (2010) and Kill Bill (2003). He did feel the film's villains were underused.[137] Writing for Uproxx, Drew McWeeny described it as 'the world's most violent and vulgar Bugs Bunny cartoon', and praised the film's unconventional plot structure, its personal stakes, the difference in tone and storytelling from other superhero films, and the cast.[138]Variety's Justin Chang said the film is 'terribly arch and juvenile [but] also startlingly effective', praising Reynolds's performance (and the film's willingness to hide his looks under prosthetics), the script, and director Miller for staying 'out of the way of his script and his star'.[139] Todd McCarthy at The Hollywood Reporter felt the film took a while to get going, 'but once it does, Deadpool drops trou to reveal itself as a really raunchy, very dirty and pretty funny goof on the entire superhero ethos'.[140]

Rolling Stone's Peter Travers said the film 'goes on too long and repetition dulls its initial cleverness', but the 'junky feel is part of its charm'. He praised the cast, particularly Reynolds as well as Tim Miller's action sequences.[141] At The Boston Globe, Tom Russo gave the film three stars. He criticized the 'featherweight' plot, but said that there is enough humor to support it, and that Reynolds was 'born to play' Deadpool.[142] Chris Nashawaty graded the film a 'B' for Entertainment Weekly, saying it 'doesn't have the most adrenalized action sequences or the deepest origin story' but makes up for that with R-rated fun. Nashawaty felt Reynolds was the perfect star for the film and is 'a blast of laughing gas in a genre that tends to take itself way too seriously'.[143] Tasha Robinson at The Verge felt there was too much juvenile humor. She noted the film was did not make homophobic, racist, or sexist jokes, and that its overall tone remained joyous despite the material.[144] David Edelstein of Vulture said the film's jokes save it from a lack of subtext and strong villains and noted the 'gratifyingly twisty' structure.[145] Manohla Dargis at The New York Times was not impressed with the listing of the film's genre cliches in the opening credits before they were used. She highlighted the 'human' elements in the film and the moments where Reynolds and Tim Miller did 'more than hit the same bombastic notes over and over again'.[146]IndieWire's Kate Erbland gave the film a 'B-', praising its style, and Reynolds's Deadpool for breaking the superhero mold, but criticizing the overall film for following genre conventions and focusing on 'numbing' violence and un-original swearing and nudity.[147]

Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan said that Deadpool 'gets off to a fun start' but the character 'eventually wears out his welcome'. He noted that though the film has a complicated narrative, it is masking a conventional Marvel origin story. Turan did highlight the film's romantic element and Baccarin's performance.[148] Jonathon Pile of Empire gave the film three out of five, saying the number of jokes 'will soon numb you to their impact' He called the film a fun alternative to other superhero films.[149] Robbie Collin at The Daily Telegraph also gave the film three out of five, saying it is not 'the future of superhero movies' calling it 'an enjoyably obnoxious detour'. He felt some of the film's jokes about superhero cliches were out of date by the time the film was released.[150]The San Francisco Chronicle's Mick LaSalle did not appreciate the humor, fourth wall breaking, or violence. He concluded the film is 'bad, borderline garbage, but disturbing, too, in that it's just the kind of fake-clever awfulness that might be cinema's future'.[151]

Accolades[edit]

Deadpool has received many awards and nominations, recognizing the film as a whole, as well as: the cast's performance, particularly Reynolds as Deadpool; several technical areas, including the film's makeup, sound, and visual effects; and the film's unconventional marketing campaign. It was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards,[152] four Critics' Choice Movie Awards (winning two),[153] a Directors Guild of America Award,[154] five Empire Awards,[155] seven Golden Trailer Awards (winning two),[156] a Hugo Award,[157] two Key Art Awards for marketing (winning both),[158] eight MTV Movie Awards (winning two),[159] a Producers Guild of America Award,[160] four People's Choice Awards (winning two),[161][162] three Saturn Awards (winning one),[163] six Teen Choice Awards (winning two)[164] and a Writers Guild of America Award.[165]

After being nominated for awards such as the Golden Globes, Critics' Choice, and Writers Guild of America, Deadpool was considered a serious contender by commentators for several Academy Awards, despite its content and tone.[166] This included potential nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and after its Producers Guild of America nomination, Best Picture.[167][168] When the film did not receive any Academy Award nominations, it was widely considered to have been 'snubbed'.[169] Analyzing potential reasons for this, Screen Rant's Alex Leadbeater said that while the film 'earned a solid thumbs up from most', it was generally not praised by top critics for offering any 'depth or related subversion of its genre'. He also noted an apparent bias that Academy voters' have against superhero films; the lack of a targeted campaign for the awards by Fox, who did not seem to be expecting any of the film's previous awards either; and the number of other films in contention, as '2016 was, all in all, a pretty good year for movies'.[170] A variant cover for Marvel Comics' X-Men Gold #1, with art by Ron Lim and released in April 2017, references Deadpool's Oscar snub.[171]

Cinematic impact[edit]

Before Deadpool's success, R-rated, comic-based films considered successful were 300 (2006) and Watchmen (2009), which earned about half the opening weekend gross of successful PG-13 superhero films. Kick-Ass, a film tonally similar to Deadpool, made even less with a $19.8 million opening. Many reasons were given why Deadpool went on to be more successful than these, including the popularity of the Marvel brand and Reynolds's performance.[117] Tom Huddleston, Jr. wrote for Fortune that Deadpool was proof to Hollywood that R-rated films can be as successful as PG-13 films, 'particularly when fans see the rating itself as validation that the film is true to its source material'.[172]

A Hollywood executive, not involved with the film, felt it succeeded because it 'has a self-deprecating tone that's riotous. It's never been done before. It's poking fun at Marvel. That label takes itself so seriously; can you imagine them making fun of themselves in a movie?' James Gunn, director of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, rejected this saying Deadpool was a success because 'it's original, it's damn good ... and it wasn't afraid to take risks'. Gunn hoped studios would learn 'the right lesson' from the film and not just try to make more films like Deadpool.[173] After Fox's Logan (2017) also became a success, Forbes' Paul Tassi reiterated Gunn's sentiments, saying the rating was 'appropriate given the 'adult' nature of these two heroes', but 'too much stock is being put into unrestrained violence rather than people examining what actually makes these movies work'.[174] Graeme McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter concurred, adding, 'Why not take the freedom that comes from that rating and try to re-approach the mainstream genre with that attitude?'[175]

In March 2017, a Warner Bros. executive said that an R-rated DC Extended Universe film could 'absolutely' happen,[176] while Sony Pictures began developing an R-rated adaptation of the character Venom with a smaller budget, inspired by Fox's success with Deadpool and Logan.[177] In June, Kevin Feige said in response to the successes that, though Marvel Studios was not planning any R-rated films for its Marvel Cinematic Universe, 'it's not out of the question'.[178] After the proposed acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney was announced in December 2017, Disney CEO Bob Iger said that the company would be willing to make future R-rated Marvel films like Deadpool, potentially under a 'Marvel-R' brand, 'as long as we let the audiences know what's coming'.[179]

Sequels[edit]

Before Deadpool's release, Fox green-lit a sequel with Reese and Wernick returning to write the screenplay.[180] The involvement of Reynolds and Tim Miller was confirmed at the 2016 CinemaCon in April,[181] but at the end of October, Miller left the film over 'mutual creative differences' with Reynolds.[182] The next month, David Leitch signed on to replace Miller for the sequel.[183] Leitch first made a short film, No Good Deed, which was written by Reese and Wernick and played in front of Logan.[184][185]Deadpool 2 was released on May 18, 2018,[186] with Baccarin,[187] T. J. Miller,[188] Uggams,[189] Hildebrand,[190] and Kapičić all returning.[190]Josh Brolin joined them as Cable.[191] The film explores the team X-Force, which includes Deadpool and Cable.[192] In March 2017, Reese said that a future film focused on that group would be separate from Deadpool 3, 'so I think we'll be able to take two paths. [X-Force] is where we're launching something bigger, but then [Deadpool 3 is] where we're contracting and staying personal and small.'[193] After the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney was announced in December 2017, Bob Iger said that Deadpool would be integrated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe under Disney.[194]

Dirty, funny, sexy, violent and unabashedly romantic: Deadpool has arrived!
I really, really liked Deadpool. And you know what? I didn't expect to. Seriously, I was never a fan of the character (in the sense that I hardly knew anything about him) and the humor as well as the violence seemed forced and overdone in the trailers. Still, I remained interested in the film, I just never expected it to actually be good - until the reviews arrived. After most critics unexpectedly showered this newest superhero movie with praise, I went in cautiously optimistic (but still fully prepared to hate the film).
The first thing I noticed was how inventive the storytelling is. The film throws you into the action from the first moment (literally: the very first moment) and then it goes back and forth in brilliant and unexpected ways to slowly unspool the story of this insane - but oddly charming - antihero. Flashbacks and fast-forwards can be annoying as hell, but when done right, they can help render even a somewhat simple story fresh and exciting. And that's exactly how Deadpool felt to me right from the start: like a fresh (if somewhat dirty) jolt of energy.
The action itself is beautifully designed, employing playful visuals and using pretty much every camera technique available; it never feels repetitive and the pacing is close to perfection. But, and that was probably the key to me liking the film so much, there's a beating heart underneath all the action and carnage, and that has a lot to do with how brilliantly Ryan Reynolds portrays the character and the great chemistry he has with co-star Morena Baccarin. What came as a complete surprise to me was how unabashedly romantic Deadpool is. The love story in this film is probably the most sincere I've ever seen in a superhero movie and it gives the film the strong emotional core which so many of these movies lack.
The humor, which I initially feared would just be non-stop juvenile wisecracks and soon become distracting, also works surprisingly well. Not every line or every joke lands - but that's the beauty of this character: they don't really need to. Deadpool can't help himself; as long as he's able to breathe he'll crack wise and make fun of himself and those around him. It's a clinical condition; he's not a stand-up comedian whose jokes need to land: he's a madman (albeit a very entertaining one) and the comedy in his case is born out of tragedy.
Despite all my praise, it's not a perfect film. The villain in this revenge tale could be more memorable and the story itself is a bit too derivative to really do its highly unconventional protagonist (he insists he's not a hero) justice: but it's a damn good first entry in a franchise that will hopefully explore the character and his world to a much larger extent in the sequel(s). And it's actually a very important film for another reason. If Deadpool is a financial success - which at this point is already clear it will be - this could play a vital role in how studios henceforth view the financial prospects of R-rated superhero films, and we'll hopefully see more of them in the future.
Many people might feel different - and I respect their opinion - but I've grown tired of the entirely bloodless CGI overkill in all those 200 million productions where even the most terrible villains talk like Mormon schoolgirls. I mean: there's a gigantic audience out there that is over the age of 18, loves to read comic books and can absolutely handle real-world language, real-world sex and real-world violence in superhero movies. This genre is so diverse; it's ridiculous to believe just because comic books have pictures in them all film adaptations - regardless of the material - must automatically be made for kids in order to be successful.
As it is, I think Deadpool - a dirty, funny, sexy and violent film which is decidedly NOT for kids - just proved my point perfectly. 8 stars out of 10.

a much needed breath of fresh air in a stale genre
peterafro26 September 2016
At first glance, Deadpool seems like a typical superhero movie due to it being made by Marvel. But once those hilarious intro credits show up, you know you are in for one of the most creative films in recent years.
The first thing that is unique about this film is the characters. In typical superhero films the characters are stiff and super serious, in Deadpool the characters are filled with personality and can range from the serious Francis to the silly Deadpool giving this a parody like feel, in a good way.
Also what is different is that this is a story of revenge rather then saving the city/world/universe that is seen in every single superhero film. Also the tone of film is more comic then dark thanks to the fantastic humor of all kinds from slapstick to dirty to just plain silly, this film just does not stop the laughs (I laughed 20- 30 times in my SECOND watch).
As for being an origin story, I can say that the backstory placements were well done, equally as funny, and explains only what is important in understanding the story. Final rating 10/10 this is a great nominee for movie of the year and one of the greatest comedies ever made

This is what it looks like when filmmakers take risks
moviewizguy15 February 2016
Deadpool is a triumph of artistic vision over studio interference. Little credit should be given to 20th Century Fox, as they had zero faith in the success of a Deadpool movie. To put things into perspective, Ryan Reynolds fought for this film back in 2004 when Blade: Trinity was released. Reynolds and co. went to shoot test footage that was then leaked online by Reynolds because Fox had no intentions to release it to the public. Finally, after years and years of BEGGING to the studio and the overwhelming positive responses of the test footage from the public, Fox didn't even tell Reynolds and co. that the film was greenlit. They had to find out online like the rest of us plebeians. If that sounds bad, Fox even cut their budget by $7 million AT THE LAST MINUTE, which caused the writers to scratch some action sequences that I'm sure would've been great to see.
Deadpool now has the biggest opening weekend in the month of February (surpassing Fifty Shades of Grey), the biggest opening weekend for 20th Century Fox (surpassing all the X-Men films), and the biggest opening weekend for an R rated film EVER (surpassing The Matrix: Reloaded). With all that being said, Deadpool is a hilariously entertaining film that works mainly because of Reynolds himself. His comedic skills pay off gloriously as the titular character, who gives so many quips in one instance that some jokes will be missed. Of course, credit should be given to the writers too (AKA: The Real Heroes Here), and it's impressive that this is Tim Miller's directorial debut. The action sequences and pacing are so good that you'd think this came from a veteran director.
From the ingenious opening credits to the subversive ending, Deadpool constantly upends clichés and tropes you're used to seeing in superhero flicks in the past few years. What's great here is the filmmakers had something weird and perverse and just went with it. Jokes about pedophilia, pegging, and sex run rampant, but it's never really dark, despite the mature subject matter. On top of that, it's also very refreshing to see a pansexual superhero in such a big studio film. It's unheard of these days. Fox and other studios, learn from this success. It's not the fact that a hard R-rated film can do well, it's that Deadpool also happens to be very good, most likely because you, Fox, actually gave the filmmakers the creative freedom to do whatever the hell they wanted.

'Bad Deadpool - Good Deadpool Film!'
asifahsankhan14 December 2016
If anyone else could be cast to play Deadpool, he certainly doesn't exist in this universe. After Ryan Reynolds's dramatic failure in the Green Lantern film, he has returned to the comic book world. Reynolds is absolutely phenomenal as the foul mouthed, and witty anti hero. I mean he is just superb! He completely owns the role, and gives a fantastic performance. If Robert Downey Jr. IS Iron Man, then Ryan Reynolds IS Deadpool. He is also such a liveable character, and by the end of the film, I genuinely cared about Deadpool. I never thought I'd say that. All of the performances are great. No one holds a candle to Reynolds, but I will say not one person was miscast here.
Deadpool is a unique film, and a huge gamble. Both Marvel and the studios bringing us this film took a major risk. This is a beloved character, and his world is very different than other Marvel films. Right off the bat, this film is consciously self-aware. It knows its a comic book film with comic book characters, and it actually exploits it. Many times, Deadpool turns to the audience and tells us what we're all thinking. It was so different, and it worked so very well. The narrative itself is also different. It's very non-linear. The events of the film don't play out in a normal straight narrative.
One of the trademarks, nay, the trademark of Deadpool is his sense of humour. This film is by far one of the most hysterical films I have seen in some time. The writing is so perfect, so sharp, and so full of witty banter, and thankfully, it all works. Not one joke, that I remember, fell flat. The film had me laughing constantly; from the opening credits, all the way to the after credits scene.
As for the action, it's also very satisfying. Many action films today are butchered by terrible camera work. For whatever reason, many modern action films are using shaky cam. Instead of clear, steady shots, the DP will go hand held, and shake the camera violently. The worst example in recent memory of this is, Taken 3. Thankfully, there are films like this, and others, that know exactly how to do a good action scene. Director Tim Miller and cinematographer Ken Seng do a brilliant job creating slick, good looking action. Not only is the action brutal, and extremely bloody, it's just co clear and well handled. The fights are really great here. I couldn't help but be reminded of Tarantino's, Kill Bill films while watching Deadpool. They are incredibly similar in their style of fight scenes.
Sitting in the cinema, the inner critic in me struggled internally. I kept thinking afterwards about the film. What were the flaws? I don't often see a film without pointing out the negatives. Even films I really like, or even love, have flaws. I'm certain that if one sits and picks this apart, you will eventually find some flaws. Perhaps the overall story is paper thin. Perhaps the villain wasn't very compelling as character. Then again, Ajax was honestly serviceable. Ed Skrein gave a great performance, and by the end, you really hate the bastard. He's a generic, or a dick, British villain and the film makes fun of that!
'Deadpool' and Guardians of the Galaxy were both huge risks that ultimately paid off, big time. As a film, it's nearly perfect. The film does exactly what it needed to do, and more. It introduces Deadpool, sets up his character, and gets you to like him if you didn't already. The non linear narrative was refreshing to see in a superhero film. Everything about this film was different and unique. It's self awareness and breaking of the fourth wall work well; really well. The direction is great, Ryan Reynolds is phenomenal, and the script is fantastic!

Funny, entertaining and refreshing
dreenphlanger18 October 2016
I am aware that to many people (especially those unfamiliar with Deadpool comic or Marvel comics at all) this movie would seem too gory, unnecessary brutal and excessively violent. But this movie is a comedy, where its main protagonist, Deadpool, should be perceived as a comedian, and Ryan Reynolds did an excellent job representing this character.
The story of Deadpool isn't complex or profound - and it wasn't meant to be. This movie is all about fun and entertainment, abundant with action, jokes, blood and foul language. Therefore, it is not suitable for children. I grew tired of people thinking that movies based on comics are intended for children only.
Related to that, I believe that many Marvel movies could have been far more successful if they didn't refrain from gory scenes. I am sorry, but if you want to make a serious combat-based movie and you make it without blood, than that movie will be all but serious.
That is why I see Deadpool as a refreshment. Nowadays many writers and directors are too worried about political correctness in their movies. That really stifles creativity and that is why today we have so many movies with great ideas but poor realization.
Thus, to me, Deadpool was a very pleasant surprise, I had fun watching it, and I intend to watch it again some time soon.

Best Movie I Have Seen In A Long Time
jelimafish17 February 2016
Firstly I would like to state that it is completely hilarious reading reviews with One Star because the movie had 'Foul Language' and 'Sex Scenes' or that someone had no idea that the movie was inappropriate for their 9 year old kid. Dead Pool is rated R and with 3 minutes of research you could have determined if this movie was for you or not With that being said I will not delve into the plot but the acting and writing were fantastic. Ryan Reynolds nailed this role. If you are easily offended by violence, language, or nudity this is not the movie for you but if you have a sense of humor and want to be entertained for 2 straight hours you will love this movie.

Simply Excellent.
GoodHandsomeLad13 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Deadpool is a 2016 film that the eighth film in the X-Men franchise where The Merc with the Mouth seeks revenge in a humorous way.
Wade Wilson is a mercenary who spends his time in New York City protecting teenage girls from would-be stalkers. He meets escort Vanessa Carlysle at a local bar and they become romantically attached for nearly a year. He proposes to her one night, then he suddenly collapses and is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Though she remains by his side, he fears losing her.
One night at the bar that he met Vanessa, he is approached by a recruiter from a secret program. He is offered an experimental cure for his cancer, but he rebuffs the man and leaves. Desperate to live, he reconsiders and leaves Vanessa in the middle of the night to undergo the procedure. He is injected with a special serum by Francis Freeman and tortured for days by Angel Dust in order to trigger a mutation. After weeks of no success, Wade is strapped into an airtight chamber after insulting Francis. The drop in oxygen triggers a healing factor that removes his cancer, but severely disfigures his face and skin in the process. He escapes from the chamber by blowing it up and attempts to kill Francis, only stopping when he claims he can cure Wade's disfigurement. He is then impaled by rebar and left for dead in the destruction of the lab.
Although he tracks her down, he cannot come to terms with his complexion, and he keeps himself away from Vanessa. Wade moves into the home of an elderly blind woman named Al, and with the advice of his best friend Weasel, he becomes a masked vigilante named 'Deadpool', and begins hunting down Francis and dismantling his organization.
Following a string of leads from various syndicates, Deadpool attacks a convoy of cars on an expressway before getting his hands on Francis, demanding for a cure to his disfigurement. The confrontation is suddenly interrupted by the X-Men Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who want him to join the team. Their intervention enables Francis to run off, and when Colossus handcuffs himself to Deadpool on their way back to the X-Mansion, Deadpool cuts off his own hand and escapes back to his home.
The next night, Weasel convinces Deadpool to go back to Vanessa, but when they arrive at the strip club she works at, Deadpool discovers that she has been kidnapped, and Francis and Angel Dust tell him to meet up with them on a decommissioned aircraft carrier at a scrapyard.
Deadpool convinces Colossus and Negasonic to help him, and the trio take a cab to the scrapyard, where Colossus and Negasonic have a grueling battle with Angel Dust while Deadpool slashes through an army of goons on his way toward Francis. Deadpool and Francis then engage in a bloody hand-to-hand combat before Negasonic uses her power to destroy the aircraft carrier. In the end, Deadpool gains the upper hand in the fight and Francis admits that there is no cure for Wade's disfigurement. Although Colossus urges Deadpool to spare Francis and be a true hero, he shoots Francis in the head, finally killing him and avenging himself. Deadpool removes his mask and shows Vanessa his new face. Though she is angry that he left her, she accepts him and they reconcile by kissing.
In a post-credits scene, Deadpool urges the audience to leave and go home, then announces that there will be a sequel involving Cable.

Defend the 10 again
onestephenis7 June 2017
DownloadWarning: Spoilers
I've said it in other reviews that no movie is perfect. There aren't any movies that actually deserve a perfect score. But what if you were a dead pool fan and you heard that an actor that was a huge fan too, and had already played the character once with horrible results wished for redemption? What if you wanted a comic book movie that would rise above the whole PG-13 cesspool far too many movies are thrown into these days? What character would be completely drowned in such a pool? Wolverine somehow treads that water even with a metal skeleton, though he did finally get unleashed with an R rated send off film (possibly partly thanks to this movie). But Deadpool could never have been done right in a PG-13 movie. The Merc with the Mouth had to have his lips sowed shut the first go round and after that... well... most fans would say he was never truly Deadpool. Including the man who played him.
Ryan Reynolds deserves significant praise for his persistent pursuit of playing a real Deadpool. And boy does he. The R rating took the comic book genre to a sparkly place I wish it would have gone to years ago. Oh yeah is this movie satisfying for that alone and Reynolds nails it. Possibly thanks to the fact that he actually cared.
But how good is it as a movie aside from all that? Well, I gave it a ten. It might be more of a nine out of ten movie if it wasn't so special. It was the first R rated movie of its kind and it proved to the people, and the studios, that it could be extremely successful even with that rating. Thank you Deadpool. You deserve an extra star for that alone.

Well, blow me!
munns3024 May 2016
Let me say at the very beginning of this review, I loathe super hero movies. I can not stress that point enough. For me, watching anyone of the countless driveling movies which have been pumped out by studios in the name of entertainment over the past decade is, for me, akin to having teeth pulled. Painful to say the least. My friends however are addicted to every single bombastic franchise, and through sufferance, I've endured countless hours of mind numbing boredom watching yet more Lycra-clad numpties saving the earth from ridiculous threat (there are of course exceptions to the above; 'The Dark Knight', the original 'X-Men)
I was once again convinced that spending an evening with chums watching Deadpool would be an excellent waste of my time. I envisaged 15 minutes of feigned interest, followed by an hour 45 of updating my email and some cheeky online shopping. Well that new Morphy Richards kettle and toaster are still waiting for me to purchase as low and behold, shock of all shocks, this film is bloody marvellous!! Bloody, hold your knickers cause they are about to get blown off, marvellous!
The dialogue is witty, sincere, and delivered by every single actor with a naturalism which seems more like improvised off the cuff genius, than drab scripted nonsense.
The pacing of the movie is excellent. It held my interest through its entirety.
The actions scenes directed with the skill of a more seasoned director.
I was so pleased that for once, I was being forced to watch a movie that treated me like an adult, with adult humour and themes, made for adults. Not for grown children masquerading as adults.
This film is a perfect storm! Just everything is right! I look forward, to my great surprise to any squeals!

Hell yeah!
Ramascreen7 February 2016
In a world.. where superhero movies are often unnecessarily dark and gritty, #Deadpool comes along and shows you how it's done! It's the perfect combo of action, comedy, and R-rating that really don't give two sh*ts about your sensitivity. Do you remember that warm blueberry pie that your grandma made for you when you were younger or the time you saw that girl you've been crushing on during chemistry class in high school? Well, you can throw those memories out the window now and make way for DEADPOOL.
Ryan Reynolds plays a skilled special forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, Morena Baccarin plays his hot-ass girlfriend, Vanessa. This woman is the embodiment of sexy. They are a match made in Marvel Comics' heaven. But their dream is crushed upon discovering that Wilson has cancer all over, a situation that forces him to sign up to a rogue experiment that subjects him to accelerated healing powers. The lab is run by Francis/Ajax (Ed Skrein) who himself is a bit of a mutant. The brutal experiments turn Wade Wilson into an ugly dude but an indestructible one. He's now bent on revenge, especially after Ajax kidnaps Vanessa. Meanwhile Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead from the X-Men, try their best to convince Deadpool to join their team and become one of the good guys. But let's face it, that ain't DEADPOOL's style! The first people we have to thank of course would be the original comic book writers/creators Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld who brilliantly gave us this very unique superhero unlike any other. The next people in line to thank are screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick who remind us why we loved 'Zombieland' back in 2009, they inject the same brand of humor into DEADPOOL and keep the character faithful to the comic books, yes, by that I mean none of that crap version of Wade Wilson in 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' anymore! Applause goes to Tim Miller as well, what a helluva feature directorial debut, clearly when you give a superhero project to a geek who loves the material and knows it inside out, if you just let him run with it, it's like giving G.I. Joe toys to a kid who can name them all by heart, great things can happen.
For those of you who are not familiar with DEADPOOL, just a heads up, this movie, just like the comics, is extremely over the top graphic in terms of sex, violence and humor, and that's exactly how we like it. Wade Wilson is a chatterbox, he talks a lot, to some this can get annoying, while to the rest, it's music to our ears, mainly because of the sh*t he says. And he breaks fourth wall, meaning he'll talk to you the audience. But what's even more epic than that is the fact that he is AWARE of the universe that he's in and the universe that you're in, and those two collide in the most epic way possible, so Ryan Reynolds' character, Wade Wilson, makes fun of Ryan Reynolds the actor and also mocks Ryan Reynolds' previous poor decisions like Green Lantern and People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive This movie is a dream come true for those of you hardcore fans, it even has what I think is one of the greatest most hilarious opening credit scenes in the history of cinema. For a while, I heard that the studio wanted the film to include more mutants, but I'm glad the filmmakers kept things to just a few characters for this first installment a.k.a origin story, so it's simple enough for the new fans to follow. I love how the humor is so brash and unapologetic, it's like insult comedy or one of them roast shows, everybody is fair game. The fights are rock 'em sock 'em and the VFX is impressive! And I can't be happier for Ryan Reynolds, I'm sure he had been wanting to redeem himself since 'Green Lantern' and whatever the hell that was in 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine,' so with this DEADPOOL movie, he finally got it right, you can tell he desperately wanted to be part of this superhero genre, and so now he's really part of the gang. He was born for this role. He was destined to play this. In many ways, Deadpool is kinda like Van Wilder on crack. And actress Morena Baccarin as Vanessa… well, let's just say that after watching this movie, every guy on earth will wonder, 'Why can't my girlfriend be more like that!' If you're looking for a date movie, DEADPOOL is it. if you're looking for an action-packed movie, DEADPOOL is definitely most certainly it.

Boring and Pointless

Warning: Spoilers

Deadpool 2016 Full Movie Download Free Download

One word describes this movie - pointless.
Wow, this film was incredibly boring. People are hyping this movie over nothing. The story is so simple and boring. It didn't even feel like I was watching a thought-provoking movie, more like a short and simple TV series with an unfunny, forced and pointless main character on his pointless adventure to fight forgettable and pointless villains.
The X-men were pointless as well. They didn't add anything to the story. They only assisted Deadpool with fighting the villains when their original goal was to have deadpool work for them. They happily accepted Deadpool as a murderer and wished a murderer to join them.
The only okay point in this movie was the action. However, the action still could have been better as it felt very rushed at times, and at other times very short and at times it lacked in good choreography. It didn't feel intense at all, more like you know the villains are going to fail very easily.
I also hated the use of childish words being used quite a bit to explain the purpose of the weapon x program e.g. 'superheroes', 'superslaves' etc. What are these villains even doing? There was nothing deep and meaningful behind the program and these villains. The story was lacking in too many ways. The world felt very empty and hollow.
Looks like people are very cheap and easy nowadays that they would enjoy anything just because it is r-rated. That is the truth, that is the only reason this movie has such a high rating because of the use of 'F' words and other vulgar words, it has sex and nude scenes and it is gory and violent. None of this is new. Again, the Story and Characters are terrible.

Worst Marvel movie ever made
whatdamonks24 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
If you enjoy sitting in on conversations that are typical of young and foolish teenage boys this is the movie for you. Every other line contains the F word and for some reason the director thought penis jokes are the funniest around.
The story is about as hollow as the humor. It's a cheap and bland story about revenge and invincibility painted with a veneer of 'love' that is as misguided as the character's personality.The movie is littered with sarcasm and cynicism that just becomes depressing after a while.
Ryan Reynolds acts like a 13 year old boy throughout the movie, cursing and making penis jokes and then talking to the audience thinking he is very funny.
This is the most overrated movie I've seen. Most of these reviews on IMDb had to have been paid for. Hollywood had to have paid for this hype or people these days have really low standards. This is a low brow film like no other.
Save 2 hours of your life and do not watch this movie.

Unpopular Opinion: This film isn't that good.
dieglozada13 February 2016
The long awaited Deadpool is finally and with its much talked about 'hard R' rating. Starring Ryan Reynolds as a quick taking, fourth- wall breaking, insult throwing, masked superhero, we hear about how Deadpool became Deadpool told in flashback sequences, while simultaneously following a present day plot as well.
The question for the average movie goer is 'Is this film really as good and as raunchy as everyone says?' No it isn't.
I don't mean to ramble much so I'll start with the good, this film does have some humorous moments and most of the supporting characters are very entertaining to watch. And yes this film also does have some good action sequences
Sadly, that is where the good ends. This films tries very hard to be edgy and raunchy, as well as claiming to not be your average Marvel film because of those following reasons. But let me assure you; This film is most definitely very similar to all of the other Marvel films. By saying 'fuck' a few times, showing breasts at a strip club and throwing childish insults such as 'dicktits' is not smart filmmaking or screen writing. It is easy adolescent humor. This film has a simple plot that is easy to follow and is spoonfed to you. I have seen good comedies and I have seen good superhero films and this excels in neither.
In this films defense it may not try to be anything other than feel- good-fun-turn-your-brain-off type film, but that within itself is lazy filmmaking. I shouldn't have to turn my brain off to have enjoy a film.

Just non stop jokes that mainly fall flat (NO Spoilers)
dean290016 February 2016
First off, I do not read comics so I do not know the source material, I am not a fan-boy of Marvel or DC I just want to see entertaining movies, I may be in the minority at least during it's first week of being in theaters but I wanted to write a review to warn others what Deadpool is like.
The movie is honestly a nonstop exercise in profanity with a lot of sex jokes and masturbation jokes especially. I am fine with low brow humor when it is funny. The writers just seem to have Reynolds throw out as many wisecracks as possible and hope that some are funny. I think anyone over 30 will be bored with the jokes. There is nothing that offends me from hearing all these jokes but rather bores me because the lack of humor. It is very much like having to listen to some teen kids try to show off by using non stop profanity only to realize they are just making themselves look dumb.
The plot is nothing more than a simple background (origins) story and it is run of the mill. The movie has a lot of violence but nothing creative. The movie is very similar to Super and the Kick Ass movies. However, those movies were superior to Deadpool on every level IMO. The movie also reminds me of the Vacation remake. The 2015 remake of vacation was pretty much one raunchy joke after another but they are not funny.
This movie may just be better for younger audiences but I still feel the 30 and up demographics are not going to find this to be a very good movies unless they are a fan of the source material.
I give it a 2 out of 10. It gets an 2 instead of 1 only because Morena Baccarin was a side character. She did the best she could with the limited material.

A new landmark for superhero and comedy films
Will_Harrison10 June 2017
With a brilliant script, visceral action, and a Oscar-worthy performance by lead Ryan Reynolds, 2016's Deadpool takes superhero and comedy films into a new direction and proves that comic book movies still have a lot more to offer.
Proof of the benefits of filmmakers taking risks rather than following the working formula, Deadpool takes the superhero genre and heightens it with its unapologetic offensive humor, bloody and intense violence, as well as a excellent cast and script. Deadpool is an example to not only based ones characters and stories off of the original material, but to embrace the heart and soul of the comic book medium as a whole.

Worst Marvel Movie Ever
varnium20 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Out of all Marvel movies made, Deadpool was the worst. The main character talks too much it became very annoying after 5 minutes. The jokes were not funny. The scene transition between flashbacks and present conditions were not well done.
They tried to put in 2 X-Men character in the worst possible way. It really shows that the studio had no budget for many characters, but instead they invested a lot in the slow-motion special effect, which was cool.
In terms of story-line, there's no story. There's no character building as well. For about 2 hours, all you can do is endure the horrible blabber mouth of the main character. Not funny and irritate the ear.
I wonder how many people did the studio pay to write in good reviews in this website...

Chimichanga time!
hailhydra8614 February 2016
Deadpool 2016 full movie download free hd
Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is the eighth installment in the X-Men film series. It follows Wade Wilson who, after being subjected to an experiment that leaves him with new abilities, hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
From the studio that inexplicably sewed his *beep* mouth shut the first time, comes... Deadpool. It may not have been the superhero that Hollywood wanted, but he's certainly the one they deserve. After years of speculation as to whether or not everyones favourite anti-superhero would actually get made into a standalone picture, Tim Miller's Deadpool has arrived. Do not let the February release date fool you, this is very much the film that both fans of the character and Ryan Reynolds have been waiting for. Full of comedic snark and constant fourth wall breaks (and Inception style fourth wall breaks within those), it delivers every bit upon its promise, a truly entertaining ride from start to finish. Minutes into opening credits, you are gracefully dropped into the self-aware world of the film, with notable credits such as 'directed by an overpaid tool,' and 'produced by *beep*hats.' If that does not sell you on what kind of comedy Deadpool brings to the table, then you can always catch a screening of Zoolander 2 next door. When it comes down to it, Deadpool is one part vendetta film, one part romantic tale a la 'Beauty and the Beast' style. This is the role that Ryan Reynolds were born to play. It's been a passion project for the actor for many years, and it shows. He is to the Deadpool franchise (the sequel were already planned ahead of its release) what Robert Downey Jr. is to Iron Man. You cannot imagine anyone else possibly playing the role. Erased from memory is the X-Men Origins: Wolverine version that Reynolds played in 2009. What a relief. The tie-in to the world of X-Men is somewhat limited aside from the inclusion of Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. I will not saying more. At the end of the day, Deadpool's re-watch factor is sky high, possibly the most important success of them all. I'm touching myself tonight.

Film should have a maximum age limit of 10
anenada23 February 2016
The film is made out of Ryan Reynolds, throwing lame jokes to the camera. In between there are bullets and knifes. No surprises. No ideas. The story is simple and silly and boring. Man sleeps with woman long in different scenes (Teens hello! Better watch porn, there are more details!) Man go's to basement to become special. (Teens like to be special) Man becomes special and kills all bad guys around him. THE END
The jokes are not only lame, they are old. For example the joke with the red shirt and brown trousers I heard from my grandpa.
Don't waste your time with this film. Marvell tries to squeeze out last cents out of the theme. Bad films will follow.

2016 begins with the most pathetic movie ever !
mufcsince15 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Barney the Dinosaur is more entertaining than this movie. yeah sure, when he cracks one or two jokes, its funny, but my gosh he would go on and on !
Regarding the sexual scenes of the movie, if one wants to watch porn, they'd watch porn. I don't know which woman enjoys a man that talks from beginning to end ? Even during sex he is cracking lame jokes. Cant get any more ridiculous than that !
As for the storyline , couldn't they add a little more detail. Its like they thought making him blabber throughout the movie will allow them to cut some finer details out.
One of the worst movies ever made in the last century !

Waste of Time and Money
treesais-671-82449115 February 2016
This movie is a huge disappointment, and a waste of money and time. The jokes are stupid and I realize that Deadpool is not what it was cracked up to be. Too bad as I usually love the Marvel movies. It seems forced, and the jokes actually become tedious and not really with any sophistication at any level, more adolescent bathroom style humor. The story and plot is also dull and tedious which goes along with the dull and tedious jokes. At times I thought to walk out, but kept hoping that there would be a redeeming aspect as many of the reviews were positive, I kept hoping. This movie is more about money-making hype, with its non existent story/plot and childish humor with no depth. A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

How a superhero movie is supposed to be
wilger-973-33412216 February 2016
Ryan Reynolds is the embodiment of the Deadpool character. He did an absolutely awesome job and made the movie as epic as it is. In my opinion his sense of humour perfectly matches that of the original character. Before watching the movie, I was a bit afraid the story of Wade would slowdown the roller-coaster ride, bit it is nicely scattered throughout the movie. Not so much to lose track of the original storyline and not too little to be oblivious of where the superhero comes from. I think I would have enjoyed it a bit more if more of the Marvel universe was pulled into the story, but I'm not completely sure of it :). The fourth wall being broken here and there is very refreshing and very Deadpool.

A flawed non-Deadpool movie with Deadpool jokes
bikasv13 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
If I've to keep it short - the movie is really, really bad.
There are plenty of jokes, plenty, even when yo don't want one. These jokes are true to Deadpool, but that's it. They are the jokes Deadpool would crack, but most of the time they missed the mark and were not even remotely funny.
There's absolutely no story in the movie, none at all. On top of that if you've watched all the trailers, watching movie is worthless. The entire story is - Ajax converted Wade into Deadpool, Deadpool searched him to fix his face and once it's cleared that Ajax is not going to do that, Deadpool killed him. Yeah, entire 10 minutes stretched into a almost 2 hour movie. On top of that, for some reason Ajax kidnaps Pool's girlfriend and sets target on his back.
It makes no sense.
Apart from jokes, Deadpool also has inner voice, but not in this movie. He's most of the time blabbering to himself because of that, making it much more unfunny.
There cannot be much said about the movie as it's just extended trailer done badly.

Summer fun in February!
dejected_jedi17 February 2016
Hooo boy! The year has barely started and already we have shots fired. In the battle to earn your comic book movie love (And dollars) Marvel has come charging out of the gate. After a dearth of comic book films last year Deadpool comes out swinging giving us a reason to love the summer again and it ain't even March. The film begins with an ambitious opening scene, the credits of which, perfectly set the tone of the movie from the get-go: funny, irreverent and self-aware. Marvel appears to have adopted a doctrine of making their films be entertaining (Imagine that!) above any other concerns and Deadpool seems to be a culmination of that philosophy. It is a testament to the skill and commitment of Marvel and the makers that they can get so much mileage out of one second tier character, and half the budget, than other companies can with four first rate ones, fantastic or otherwise. (Way to redeem yourself 20th Century Fox!) Not bad for a character that was a created as a joke. (For the non-initiated, Deadpool started life as a blatant clone of Deathstroke, a character from DC Comics, Marvel's main competitor.)
In all this the film is aided in great part by a crackling script that never lets up. Whereas too many action movies treat the scenes between set pieces as filler packed with exposition and the occasional comic relief, Deadpool deftly weaves between wise- cracking slapstick, violent acrobatics and scenes of serious peril with effortless ease. The result of all of this is a movie that is engaging throughout whether featuring profane, brilliant banter or graphical, bloody shootouts. For the film wears that R rating proudly with enough sex and violent to make Paul Verhoeven get all misty-eyed. It is not surprise there is already a sequel in the works.
Another revelation here is Reynolds himself who in Deadpool seems to have found his Iron Man, a character so indelibly linked to the actor that plays him that you cannot imagine anyone else playing him. And his work here acts as vindication of that whole Wolverine debacle which we won't mention ever again. But the secret ingredient in the Deadpool stew is geek heroine Morena Baccarin, who, besides being cute as a button brings the acting chops honed in fan favorites like Gotham and Firefly or even as the darnest adorable reptilian alien ever in the short-lived 'V' reboot. Baccarin has the perfect easy-going confidence to match Reynold's sardonic bravado and their superb and convincing on-screen chemistry provides the impetus for Deadpool's heroic arc.
For despite all the foul language, gore and masturbation jokes, this is a story that is surprisingly tender. It turns out it wasn't just a marketing gimmick and, Deadpool, really is a love story. To be sure, one with more severed body parts than your average love yarn but a love story nonetheless. Starting a new franchise is always risky and studios hate taking risks. Whatever your stance on comic books is, the fact remains this movie should not have been this good. The writers and director have shown what can be achieved with bold writing and an unapologetic attitude, and, more importantly, that comic book movies need not be made for kids to be enjoyable or, indeed, successful. Here's to hoping that trend will continue. Hopefully Hollywood will take notice.
Parent's Brief
Rated: R Running Time: 108 minutes On Sex and Violence: Plenty of both. There is graphic violence of the gratuitous kind. People get shot in all kinds of places and I mean their bodies not exotic locations. Limbs get bloodily cut off. A lot of foul language which I don't mind but I'm not here to judge. Deadpool and his love interest get into some vigorous love making and elsewhere there is some brief frontal nudity. Boobies. Boobies are shown. So yeah. Don't take the kids.

A simple summary (without the spoilers); what you need to know
tavindensley-34-12502424 February 2016

Deadpool 2016 Full Movie Download Free 1080p

We live in a time where super hero movies are all the rage. Who doesn't love a good super hero throw down, cool origin stories, and awesome villains? While decent hero flicks are easy enough to find, occasionally a masterpiece, like 'The Dark Knight', will come along and in the process wow the critics and audiences alike.
And then we get Deadpool. Where to start with this one? To give it some comparison, it makes 'Batman and Robin' look like an Academy Award-winner by comparison. How is that? Quite simply put, the movie is terrible in every sense of the word.
Deadpool is untrue to its source material and to the very character himself. The character is known for his violence and humor throughout his comic book, TV show, and video game appearances. The filmmakers, in their apparent efforts to make the character more 'edgy' and appeal more to adults, have stripped him of this, instead replacing the comedy and fun with crude dialogue, sex, sex, more sex, and more foul words than possibly all of Eminem and Lil Wayne's albums combined, and all of this without any of the substance that have made Wade Wilson's adventures and misadventures alike over the years so memorable, exciting, and laugh-out-loud funny.
No wit, and no soul. It insults the intelligence of its audience, and then expects them to pay. We've come a long way in terms of the quality of super hero films; to call this a step back could potentially be the biggest understatement of the year.
For those who have been waiting for a good Deadpool film, this unfortunately is not it. Perhaps the best on-screen appearance to- date can be found in the animated short 'Hulk v.s. Wolverine', but for the time being we're still going to have to wait for our favorite 'Merc with the Mouth' to get the big-screen sensation that he deserves.

In the company of nonsense
BiiivAL4 June 2018

Deadpool 2016 Download Link

A sharp-tongued mercenary Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) loves the girl of easy virtue Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and is going to marry her. Idylls come to an end when doctors diagnose Wade's incurable stage of cancer. In the hope of remaining alive, he agrees to participate in an experimental program, whose creators promise not only to cure Wilson, but also to endow him with superpowers. Wade becomes immortal, but his face is disfigured, and in this form he is not going to return to his beloved - wearing a mask and taking the name Deadpool, the new mutant must find the one who turned it into a monster and make it return its former beauty.
Even if until recently you have not heard anything about Deadpool, the creators of the project about the talkative 'non-perperable' have done everything to correct this oversight. The promo campaign of the project was unprecedented, then positioning it as a romantic comedy for Valentine's Day, then advertising billboards with emoji. Over the past months, it has been decidedly impossible to get away from Deadpool, and it worked perfectly, given that Wilson is one of the few comic book heroes who constantly interacts with the audience and knows that they are being watched by the parties.
This chip is 100% used in the debutant Tim Miller's film, which the Oscar nominee in the category of animated shorts hopes to punch his way to Hollywood. The new Deadpool, unlike the silent assassin who appeared in Wolverine, is exactly what his fans wanted to see. He does not stop, he jokes with a joke and severely annihilates his enemies, while being able to regularly remind him that he is very pleased with the company of spectators.
Destruction of the notorious fourth wall is the highlight of 'Deadpool', which seems to make it closer to the public. Like, this guy is talking to you, he's in the board. He listens to the same music as you, watches the same films and jokes the same way. In terms of humor, the film, of course, tries to please everyone and everything: Stebut film adaptation of the X-Men, Hugh Jackman and Liam Neeson, but at the same time, very often Hochma is not of the most intellectual kind, which would have done the honor of writing a sorting comedy. And between the gags of different categories it is not possible to establish even a shaky balance - the scales bow inexorably to the side where they laugh at everything below the belt. Is it less than that? Let's make a discount on the specifics of the main character - after all, he does not have everything in order. And, as practice shows, all the same it is much easier to attract a mass audience with a vulgar joke beyond the foul, rather than trying to humor subtly and intellectually.
If you can argue about the comic component - it eventually turns out all the same to an amateur - then visually 'Deadpool' problems do not arise. The introductory action-scene is so ingenious that it raises the bar very high - it's hard to reach it later, but it's rather a script problem that does not offer the protagonist really serious trials. And with ordinary problems in the face of armed scoundrels (and even the main 'boss'), Deadpool copes easily and more than spectacularly - the benefit of the studio has agreed to an adult rating, which allows, without hesitation, to dismember bodies and splash blood in all directions.
Do not expect from the 'Deadpool' swirling drama - this story is simple and trivial. And in it there is really little heroic, but a lot of romance, because the main engine of the plot is the desire of a man to look good and like his woman. Primitivism with a touch of nostalgia, which plays great in contrast to the profound modern films about superheroes, where questions of a far more global character are being solved. Deadpool is different, and it can not be bad or good - it's just that way.
