Up to this point, I knew almost nothing about the Deadpool character, other than fans were not happy with his portrayal in the 2009 X-Men Origins: Wolverine. So, I went into this flick without too many expectations, other than it wasn’t going to be your typical Marvel superhero movie, based on the trailers and ad campaign. I was right…but I also had more fun than I expected.

Flick tells the story of Wade Wilson, a former special forces soldier turned black ops operative turned mercenary and assassin. Wade has a fairly low level clientele and a beautiful stripper girlfriend, Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) who loves him for who he is. Wade’s life is turned upside down when he is told he has terminal cancer and is then contacted by a mysterious organization called Weapon X, that claim that not only can they cure him, but they can turn him into a superhero. To save his relationship with Vanessa, he takes the offer and is transformed into a virtually indestructible, yet horribly disfigured man. Now hot for revenge for turning him into a monster, Wade becomes Deadpool, a wise-cracking superhero-like assassin, leaving a blood-soaked trail in pursuit of Ajax (Ed Skrein), the man who performed the procedure and his powerful sidekick/bodyguard, Angel Dust (Gina Carano)…all the while being pursued by the X-Men to give up his bloody ways and join the team.

This is certainly one of the most brazen and self-aware of the recent spate of superhero films, with Deadpool not only stopping the action to talk with the audience, but also his constant verbal jabs at the rest of the Marvel universe. It is also one of the rudest, crudest and bloodiest flicks to wear the Marvel tag and there is sufficient wit to go along with that, which makes it work. Some of the dialog is very funny and Reynolds has the perfect delivery for Wilson’s sarcastic frat-boy sense of humor as he’s slaughtering bad guys. The film is well directed by Tim Miller, with a clever script by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese and it mixes the graphic violence with the twisted humor very well. The action is on a smaller scale than the usual Marvel flicks, especially those recently, but includes more gore and body parts than possibly even the Blade films. The FX are rendered very well and there is a solid emotional core to all the blood and toilet humor when dealing with Wade’s turning into something he’s horrified with…something he feels Vanessa would never love. Surprisingly, the combination of violence, crude humor and Frankentein-ish story does pretty much work for most of the time thanks to Miller’s knowing when and how much and Reynold’s spot on performance. If the film has flaws, it’s that not all of the humor is successfully funny, the film does slow down a bit when delving into flashbacks as to Deadpool’s origin and Skrein isn’t all that strong a bad guy and is upstaged by Carano’s Angel Dust. Back on the plus side, there is a hip, fun soundtrack and it was refreshing to see a superhero film with a anti-hero who is far from being a boy scout…ex. Deadpool’s lethal and illegal advice to an Indian cab driver over how to solve his love problems.

Obviously, this is Ryan Reynolds show and he really brings it. Not only is Deadpool a very likable and sarcastically funny anti-hero, but Reynolds really gives him a heart and we feel for him when he is first deformed. He delivers his lines perfectly, whether it is to lament his transformation and loss of Vanessa, or shamelessly taunting his blind roommate (Leslie Uggams). He was born to play the part. Morena Baccarin is smoking hot as a movie geeks dream girl, a stripper with extensive nerd knowledge and a pop culture reference vocabulary to rival the boys. While she doesn’t get to do all that much, she and Reynolds do have a nice chemistry and she is fiery in what she does get to do. As stated, Ed Skrein is a serviceable villain, though not a very memorable one. Carano makes more of an impression as his bodyguard with superhuman strength. She doesn’t say much, but is a physical presence especially when batting the metal skinned X-Man, Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapičić). T.J. Miller is fun as Wade’s buddy Weasle, Brianna Hildebrand is an explosive teen member of the X-Men and Jed Rees is appropriately creepy as the recruiter for Weapon X…and a certain Marvel icon has one of his funniest cameos yet!

Overall, Deadpool was a fun flick. It deftly mixes masturbation jokes, bloody violence and some surprisingly effective drama to make it one of the more unique superhero flicks to come out in this era of cookie-cutter comic book movies. Not all the jokes work and the film does slow down a bit here and there to tell it’s origin story, but overall the mash-up formula connects more often than not. Ryan Reynolds is a hoot as Deadpool and he is given some very funny, rude and pop culture reference filled dialog to spout, when not splattering the bad guys all over the place. Not great, but a fun flick that will occasionally make you giggle like a teenager, whether you are one or not, and sometimes laugh out loud. As with these flicks, stay through the credits!

Deadpool is the latest comic book movie in an industry over-saturated with comic book movies. And it knows it. The movie’s self awareness is one of the strongest elements of the film from a first time director, and there’s a lot to love about Deadpool. Yeah, I loved it. It’s not the best movie ever made, but it’s the most fun I’ve had in the theater since Ant-Man. So, what’s so great about it? I’ll discuss below, with some light spoilers. Nothing major.

Pros

The Comedy. This movie had me laughing within the first 30 seconds of the film, and kept me in stitches the entire run time. It’s funnier than most comedies. The humor comes mostly from Deadpool himself, but TJ Miller, who plays Deadpool’s best friend, probably has my favorite line in the movie. I won’t ruin it for you if you haven’t seen it, but if you have, it’s starts with, “I’d come with you…” Deadpool is a self aware character who constantly breaks the fourth wall. The movie had to reflect that, and it did in spades.
The Action. It’s not just funny, it’s exciting. The action is top notch and there are real stakes, unlike some comic movies. The R-rating allows the movie to show fighting in very explicit and creative ways. It’s bloody, but not gruesome. Think Kick Ass or Kingsman.
The love story. Too often in comic books and comic book movies, the female love interest is bland and interchangeable with any other. Not in Deadpool. Morena Baccarin plays the love interest perfectly, and you really believe these two people are in love, and you can understand why. If the love interest didn’t work, the movie’s finale would feel empty. Luckily, it rings true.
The Pacing. At the end of the day, Deadpool is a basic origin story. Again, the movie is self aware. This opens the possibility of creative editing choices, which are used. Flashbacks and fourth wall breaks fill in the gaps to explain where Deadpool came from, and it keeps the movie moving along at an exciting pace. As someone who is not too familiar with the character, I found the movie’s explanation of Deadpool’s origin to be very easy to follow and very entertaining at the same time.
The casting. Two words: Ryan Reynolds. He’s never been better. To a large extent, the success of Deadpool rests of his performance, which is fantastic. Deadpool is a wise ass, and Ryan Reynolds is a wise ass. I don’t know who could have played Deadpool any better; the casting was perfect. The fact that he played Deadpool before in the terrible X-Men Origins: Wolverine also opens up a lot of comedic possibilities, which were thankfully exploited. The rest of the cast was top notch as well. I already mentioned Morena Baccarin, but credit is also due to the villain played by Ed Skrein (of Game of Thrones).

Cons

This was another movie that was difficult for me to come up with the cons. However, I did think of some. No movie is perfect.

The trailer. It’s not a bad trailer, but it ruins a lot of the best jokes. However, as a piece of marketing, it’s perfect. I just turned this into a “pro,” didn’t I?
The bad guys. With the exception of Skrein’s Francis, the bad guys were a little underdeveloped. I would’ve liked to have seen more of Gina Carano’s character and more of “Agent Smith.” Also, the terrorist character at the beginning of the movie is kind of forgotten after his one scene. Maybe he’ll show up in the sequel: Deadpool 2: Electric Boogaloo.
The final fight. The final fight is a bit by-the-numbers. Why not use Deadpool’s tropes while he’s fighting? I saw one commenter mention that he’d love to see Deadpool beat a character with a boom mic grabbed from off-screen. That’s a great idea. I hope they use it in the sequel.

Final verdict: The highest praise I can give this movie is that it made me want to read the source material. I ordered a Deadpool comic on Amazon right after seeing the movie. (Get yours by clicking the link.) Deadpool is a lot of fun, as a comic book movie should be. It knows what it is, it knows what beats it needs to hit, and it does the job almost perfectly. It’s just definitely NOT for kids.

Film spassoso e forse il più comico della Marvel. Ci sono molte scene d'azione ma sempre con vena comica e battute. In 4k è spettacolare in ogni aspetto tranne l audio che è ancora un classico dolby 5.1 in italiano. Consigliatissimo a chi piace il genere o è appassionato di cinema.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Politisch unkorrekt, zynisch und stets unter der Gürtellinie: einfach geil!

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.
