Film Review: Deadpool.

I went to see Deadpool with extremely high expectations, after patiently awaiting for it to be released since it was announced. At first, I thought all of the teaser trailers and posters released before the film would ruin the film for me, however before the opening credits of the film were finished I was already laughing. 
                                          
The humour, breaking of fourth wall and intertextual references throughout the movie, alongside Reynold's acting made the film absolutely perfect. It's fair to say that Ryan Reynold's was made for the role, and it was an immense step up from the X Men Origins weak portrayal of Deadpool, or his role of Green Lantern, which made it hilarious when both were mentioned during the movie. 

Despite the fairly predictable ending, where he gets the girl, the film was absolutely fantastic. The obvious fairytale-esque love story plot line was a useful plot device in order to introduce Deadpool's character, by giving him means to create his first onscreen appearance to it's full potential besides purely beating a bad guy. So, the storyline was just like any other superhero film, but the introducing of the character and portrayal were top class and hilarious, it's definitely a film I could watch over and over.
