Deadpool
1:28 R 9/10

In a world saturated with superhero movies, “Deadpool” shines as the funniest one to date. The formula for a superhero blockbuster is a PG-13 movie with action that is fun for the whole family. Deadpool decides to throw this formula out the window and is a hard R filled with profanity and violence.

The film was made to be a love letter to the comic book character with countless references to his lore. The film pulls from the deep backstory of the character with familiar faces such as Blind Al and Weasel jumping from the comics to the big screen.

The film served as a passion project for Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool. Reynolds makes an already hilariously written film even funnier with his spot on performance.

Another avenue in which the film shines is its ultra-violence. In the X-Men movies when Wolverine slices through goons with his adamantium claws they just fall to the floor. “Deadpool” likes to show what happens when you actually slice through someone and shows limbs and blood flying.

Overall, “Deadpool” took about a decade of petitioning to get greenlit and the time was well worth it.
