Deadpool

A movie adaptation of a comic from Marvel. Had a few of those in the past few years. But this is a rather different movie to all the others. It comes from Fox studios, rather than Marvel studios. The former do the X Men films. The latter do almost all the others. So this does mention and tie in with the former. But none of Captain Americas and Avengers and the like. Ryan Reynolds plays Wade Wilson. AKA Deadpool. Who he also played in X Men Origins Wolverine. Let's just say this is a fresh take on things. So disregard that one. Wade is a motormouth. Has a very strong sense of humour. And runs around in a red suit with swords gutting and shooting bad guys. How did all this come to be? This is structured totally differently to the usual superhero films in that it's not entirely linear. It starts with an action sequence, and jumps back and forth between that and what happens after it. The flashbacks filling in how we got to this point. There's a heck of a lot of violence along the way. But it's knowingly over the top, in the style that encourages you not take it seriously. And the whole film doesn't so much break the fourth wall as damage it with a sledgehammer beyond repair. So this is very black comedy. But it's very funny comedy if you're in the right mood, and Ryan Reynolds get the character and the humour absolutely spot on. Added to which, it gives one of the X men more to do than they've ever managed before on screen. And it's a nice love story as well. Just not necessarily solely a chick flick. And definitely not a date movie. Ultimately the story and plot are pretty simple, but there's so much to laugh at in here that it will stand up to many repeated viewings, simply because you're bound to find funny moments that have slipped your mind. A perfect adaptation of a fun character. And a hugely entertaining film with it. Do keep watching to the very end if you hope to see a preview of Deadpool Two. Although the dvd box just says that the subtitles and Language options are English only, if you check the disc you will find they are: Although the box just says english for both, on the disc it's: Languages: English Russian Lithuanian Subtitles: English Danish Finnish Norwegian Russian Swedish Estonian Lavian Lithuanian The disc goes straight to the main menu when loaded. DVD extras are: Sneak peek. A trailer for the film X-Men Apocalypse. Gag reel: five minutes worth of outtakes. Gag reels are usually people forgetting dialogue and being deliberately silly, but these are genuine and very funny outtakes. Deadpool's fun sack. Two sections to this. Videos and stills. The latter contains some posters for the film. The former has nineteen different trailers and other bits of promo material for the film. None are longer than a couple of minutes. They can be watched individually or in a row. There is some repetition as some are versions of the same trailer but with naughty words included second time around. But they are all great fun and well worth a watch.

I'd been waiting patiently for this film to be delivered since I watched it at the cinema. When I got home I went straight onto Amazon and preordered it along with another film. I marked my calendar and felt like a little kid overdosing on blackjacks and cola bottles on the run up to Christmas Day the closer it got towards release date. So imagine my annoyance when release day arrived and no dvd came through my letterbox! My doormat was empty and somewhat forlorn. I did however receive an apology email informing me that the delivery was delayed due to problems with the transit and would be with me ASAP. I wasn't a happy bunny because this is the second parcel this year to have problems (last one magically got lost in transit). But I knew that a broken down van couldn't be helped by me being annoyed so I hoped it would arrive on the next day (Tuesday). It eventually arrived on Tuesday afternoon but I couldn't watch it due to working until Wednesday afternoon. ** shakes fist menacingly at sky mumbling "curse you work, you've crushed my dreams!" ** It's a great film with the perfect actor for the role. If you haven't seen it or you're a hipster who doesn't want to watch it because others like it: quit being a sourpuss because you are missing out big time. It's hilarious and has great action. You NEED to see it! And no, before you react with "but she's probably a marvel fangirl"....I'm NOT. I don't watch many films let alone only marvel ones. I just know a good film when I see one. This has restored a bit of my faith in the movie industry. One of the best comedy/action films I've seen in the past twenty years. JUST WATCH IT ALREADY!!!!

Ryan Reynolds clearly loves his comic books, great in Green Lantern and now foul mouthed merc Deadpool. I remember when he first appeared as a vampire slayer in Blade III and was great with his pithy one-liners to Parker Posey and the Wrestling Goliath. Similiarly here he effortlessly quips and sautes his way through a slew of bad boys and several mutants. His origin is decribed in gory torturesque detail and is not for the squeamish, his latent mutanticity is activated through various tortures by the sadistic nemesis ... Francis, aka codename Ajax ... off a bar of soap. So the film's irreverence is hatched. The plot is a bit bare, just a revenge skein to kill his way to the truth! ... actually Francis, whome he hopes can give him a new pretty face with which to woo back his gorgeous girlfriend. The film is full of wise cracks which Ryan Reynolds excels at, for instance saying to his partner, he just had a terrible dream he was being pursued by Liam Neeson in another Taken movie as he has lost his daughter again, at which point you have to wonder maybe he is just a bad parent? Stan Lee has his cameo as a sleezy comper in a strip joint. My main gripe was the baddy ... Francis was boring, his weak quip was monotonously 'what's my name?' all the time. Now Arnold Vosloo was fantastic as Jean Claude Van Damm the Man's nemesis in Hard Target with the excellent one-liner 'You didn't mean to hurt my feelings' just before he blew somebody away. Now he had charisma oozing out of all his oleaginous pores, the perfect foil to the Van Damm's ice cool hero. Gina Carano was similiarly luck-lustre, just standing still a lot, laconically chewing the butt end of a match stick, wtf? Why not chomping on a Huge Phat Cuban Cigar, aka Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger in Predator. Lets face it she is so chunky and muscular she could be an Arnie stand-in ... 'Hey Gina Get Yo Ass to Mars!' 'Gina Have You Eaten My Taco?' 'Gina Your Muscles Are Bulging!' etc. I hope there is a Deadpool II but with a better baddy, more fleshed out and cewl, and a more layered plot than the one dimensional form of:- mad scientist creates super soldier -> there are horrible side effects -> said soldier is not a happy bunny -> said soldier loses his girlfriend -> redneck rampage (great game) -> epic fight between goody and baddy -> goody gets his girlfriend back -> girlfriend does The Beauty and The Beast thang. everyone lives happily ever after to the sequel This and Ant Man are welcome fare to the formulaic tedium of The Avengers, how can you possibly screw-up Ultron for goodness sake, argh! May Ryan Reynolds live a long life starring in more Cewl Movies. Thank you Sir!

Che dire anche il blu ray comunque regge bene il confronto 4k bello, rivederlo è emozionante, bellissima la "fidanzata" di Deadpool, ma una delle parti più belle è l'approccio di lui con lei... Mi fa sempre morire quando lei vorrebbe che lui facesse una cosa... E fraintende regakandogli un anello da nerd di plastica in segno di "matrimonio" tutte le volte rido, bellissimo, eccentrico, provocatorio fuori dagli schemi, politicamente volgare un film tutto da ridere

Deadpool is a movie that you will know where you stand about it within the first few minutes. It is a superhero movie that breaks all the superhero movie norms in that it is R-rated, is over-the-top violent, has sex in it, and the main character breaks the fourth wall constantly (because he knows that he is a comic book character). Backed by Ryan Reynolds' wit and smart Alek comments all the way through the movie (including making snarky comments about himself), the movie tells the origin story of Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool, a mercenary who's part of the X-Men universe (although it is not exactly clear which timeline he is in, which is a joke in the movie). Wilson is seeking revenge on a guy named Francis who essentially turned him into what he is. He is joined by X-Men Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapicic), and sullen teen girl Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), who are trying to recruit Deadpool to join the X-Men. Francis is joined by Angel Dust (played by Gina Carano) who is a super-strong evil mutant. There are essentially two storylines that run in parallel with each other during the movie. The first is Wade's origin story includes his sex-worker girlfriend Vanessa (played by Firefly and Gotham alum Morena Baccarin), and TJ Miller, as Deadpool's buddy Weasel. Miller steals many a scene he is in, which is no small feat with Deadpool throwing out zingers every couple of seconds. The second is the revenge story, which is where all of the action in the movie takes place. Of course, the storylines do intersect at the end. For those who get the blu-ray, the movie looks and sounds wonderful in HD. The extras include two separate commentary tracks, deleted scenes, a gag reel, an image gallery, videos that were a part of the movie's promotional campaign, and the most extensive extra, an hour and twenty-minute long making-of documentary (that is split into five parts). Overall, the movie is awesome. The jokes are great, and make fun of everything from Reynold's acting ability vs. his looks, the horrible incarnation of Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (also played by Reynolds), as well as the Green Lantern movie (also starring Reynolds). It seems that everyone in the cast was having a blast and not taking themselves too seriously. It is most definitely not a family-friendly movie as there is a lot of swearing and sexual jokes. The action is great, especially the battle at the end, and the movie has no problem lampooning the superhero genre. It is definitely worth checking out.

Wade Wilson war früher bei den Special Forces und nutzt jetzt seine Ausbildung, um als so eine Art Asi-Robin Hood und Söldner für Geld Schwache vor allen Arten von "Ungeziefer" zu schützen. Dabei lernt er irgendwann die große Liebe seines Lebens, das Escort-Girl Vanessa, kennen. Doch das Glück währt nur kurz: bei Wade wird Krebs im Endstadium diagnostiziert. Doch "Agent Smith" bietet ihm einen Ausweg an: seine Krankheit soll nicht nur kuriert werden, durch die Behandlung soll er auch Superkräfte erhalten. Die Behandlung ist ein einziges Martyrium, doch sie schlägt an: der Krebs wird geheilt, und Wade erlangt enorm gesteigerte Selbstheilungs- und Körperkräfte. Doch der Preis ist unglaublich hoch, und als "Deadpool" macht sich Wade nun auf die Suche nach seinen "Therapeuten".. Bang! Absoluter Volltreffer. "Deadpool" ist für mich der bisher beste Marvel und das krasse Gegenstück zu den publikumswirksam gemainstreamten, glattgebürsteten, PG-gerateten restlichen Vertretern (obwohl mir viele davon auch gut gefallen. Aber: kein Vergleich zu diesem hier). "Deadpool" ist reine Erwachsenenunterhaltung, und es verwundert, dass der Film eine 16er-Freigabe erhalten hat. Die Handlung ist simpel und muss es auch sein: schon die Comics sind kein Shakespeare. "Deadpool" ist stets versaut, niveautechnisch sich grundsätzlich unter der Gürtellinie bewegend und herrlich selbstironisch, äußerst zynisch, wunderbar politisch unkorrekt und auf jegliche Ethik und Moral pfeifend, ganz im Gegenteil: besonders die Ethik und Moral der oftmals penetrant pathetischen X-Men wird volley genommen und mit Vollspann gekontert. Bei "Deadpool" kämpft nicht Gut gegen Böse, sondern Böse gegen noch böser, das ganze garniert mit einigen der geilsten Sprüche , die ich je gehört habe. Selten habe ich in der letzten Zeit derart laut bei einem Film lachen müssen. Hinzu kommen noch perfekt inszenierte, Martial Arts-inspirierte Fights (zum Schreien: Deadpools Versuche Colossus zu vermöbeln, diverse Knochenbrüche inclusive), grandiose be- und entschleunigte Actionsequenzen und das Durchbrechen der 4. Wand, wo Ryan Reynolds, der sich mit der Realisierung des Films ein jahrelang verfolgtes Herzensprojekt erfüllte, oft und gerne mit dem Publikum kokettiert. Bereits das Bild ist grandios. Kein einziger Parameter schwächelt auch nur eine Sekunde, und so ist das Bild über die gesamte Laufzeit in allen Bildebenen absolut scharf, perfekt kontrastiert, mit optimalem Schwarzwert versehen und farblich ausgewogen. Die UHD legt besonders bei der Schärfe und auch der Plastizität nochmal ordentlich zu. "Deadpool" dürfte bei den "Realverfilmungen" ziemlich weit vorne mit dabei sein. "Realverfilmungen" habe ich in Klammern gesetzt, weil bei diesem Film natürlich jede Menge vor der Green- bzw. Bluescreen entstanden ist und die Hintergründe teils gerendert wurden. Das sieht man so einigen Bildern auch an: man beobachte mal die Kulisse im Grande Finale. Auch einige SFX wirken besonders auf der UHD so künstlich, wie sie sind: der Explosion, als Wade auf die Handgranate schießt, sieht man überdeutlich ihre Geburt im Rechner an. Die Tonspur ist auf Blu und UHD identisch, lediglich dem Original wurde ein Atmos-Track spendiert. Natürlich gibt es beim Sound wieder das übliche Gepinze, weil der Track "nur" in DTS vorliegt. Trotz des fehlenden HD-Kürzels sind Bass, Durchzeichnung, Signaltrennung, Dynamik und Surroundkulisse außerordentlich. Mit Atmos-Equipment abgehört kann man feststellen, dass sich auf der deutschen Tonspur im Vergleich zum englischen O-Ton kaum etwas auf den Heights abspielt. Und doch: der Track ist sehr gut. Extras habe ich wie üblich nicht angesehen, ich schließe mich wie ebenfalls üblich dem Durchschnittswert an. Die Scheibe hat ein Wendecover. Mein persönliches Fazit: normalerweise bin ich bei extrem gehypten Filmen immer recht vorsichtig und trotzdem in aller Regel enttäuscht. Nicht so bei "Deadpool": was habe ich gelacht, ich wurde so gut unterhalten wie lange nicht. Und das bei der mindestens vierten Sichtung, bei der es sicherlich nicht bleiben wird.

Excelente transferencia y actualización para una de las películas de Marvel que dieron una vuelta de tuerca al MCU por parte de 20th Century Fox. Como es costumbre con la mayoría de las películas en este formato, no incluye extras, pero sí posee pista Dolby Atmos y Dolby Vision, destacándose en ambos sentidos para darle un plus a tu proyector, monitor o pantalla, así como a tu teatro en casa o bocinas, respectivamente.

Deadpool, you're a fan or you are not.
