I am honestly happy that "Comic-book" is not an actual film genre, because now I don't have to make the odd decision as to which is better, Deadpool or The Dark Knight. I don't know which I'd choose in that situation. It is that good. Seriously. The R rating was crucial in making this film what it is, so sorry Grace Randolph (and whiny kid) but PG-13 would not have worked.
Another point to be made is that this is to be categorized as an action-adventure-comedy-thriller and hits all those points right on the nose. There is truly something in this for everyone (above 17, of course). Even the romance that runs through it is beyond the average comic-book love story. It is believable and leaves you liking these morally deplorable characters.
On to the performances- Prepare for a new cliche. It is unavoidable. Everyone is going to say it. Ryan Reynolds was born to play Wade Wilson. Morena Baccarin and TJ Miller are amazing, making the parts that could have otherwise been a bit slow into strokes of brilliance. Hats off to Ed Skrein, who after Transporter left me worried, but Ajax is seriously one of the best villians I've seen on screen in quite a while.
My final thoughts are this- GO SEE DEADPOOL. tell your friends to GO SEE DEADPOOL. It is a cinematic experience second to none. You will laugh your ass off, feel uncomfortable, and want to cry all in 1:47.
Oh, and stay for the post credit scene. Please.
