The secret origin of the merc with the mouth
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 LithuanianSubtitles: English Danish Finnish Norwegian Russian Swedish Estonian Lavian LithuanianThe 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.

Deadpool unfiltered!!!
Brilliant. Once in a while you have the perfect actor to play the perfect character. Ryan Reynolds was the perfect choice to play Deadpool the Merc with a mouth. This is a movie done right. This is really Ryan/Deadpool unfiltered. Deadpool is notorious for his "Fourth wall breaks", (this is a pause where Deadpool talks straight to the audience, usually with an in joke), and here nobody is safe he will rip anyone from David Beckham to Ryan Reynolds himself to Fox studios. If you are a Deadpool fan this movie more than did him justice, if you were not a Deadpool fan you will be after watching this.Ignore and forget about the "Deadpool cameo" in the wolverine origins movie, this is not the weirdo freak with his mouth sawn up, this is a machine gun mouth merc throwing out insults even as he "lovingly dismembers" villains for his revenge. This is a raunchy, motorised foul mouthed and action packed anti-hero movie. With most characters this would be off putting or just wrong but in Deadpools case this is just who the character is and they kept the movie version true to the comic book core completely. Even better actually because when he swears in the comics it looks like this "Mother&%&^%$". This is why he took so long for his the break the glass ceiling with casual comic book fans, as in mainstream comics he is too restricted and comes across as silly/insane then rough, tough, foul mouth he really is. This is an adult movie and it should be. When this movie was announced me and the comic book community were hi fiver each other, majority of people where probably going who?I said it before this is role Ryan was meant to play like Robert Downey Jr was to Ironman. I actually find it hard to see where Ryan's personality stops and the Deadpool character begins. On a side note even though it is full face mask it is surprisingly expressive. I even loved all the gag reels and promos in the extra of Deadpool in character doing all sorts. This is the best Marvel movie to come out of Fox, if you disappointed at what has become of the X-men and disgusted with what they did to the FF then watch this as redemption, or just watch it is great. Great movie for anyone over 15!!!
