Film Review: 'Deadpool' Sets A New Standard for Superhero Films

There is a ton of buzz surrounding Marvel's new hit film Deadpool and it's all well deserved.

With the $135 million opening weekend, Deadpool has assumed the best opening weekend for an R-rated film. Those who paid to see the film know exactly why.

As Ryan Reynolds and the rest of the Deadpool team has reiterated, the film took 10 years to make.

Reynolds talked about how hard it was to get everyone onboard for it until the leaked test footage and from that point on it was the Deadpool fans whose reaction sparked production.

The merc with a mouth is one of the most famous enigma's in the Marvel universe. He walks a fine line between hero and a villain because of the ways he dispenses of his enemy. With the film being R-rated, you're able to see all of the brutal ways in which he does that and because of his personality, you get to see how much joy he has while doing so. The punchlines really never stopped in this film and neither did the action.

What most films make the mistake of doing is drawing out everything far much more than they should. With Deadpool, everything is right to the point and consistent.

They have found the formula to speeding up the origin process that should be a new standard in all superhero films.

What's even more clever is the shots that Deadpool takes at the X-Men franchise and spoiler alert, Reynold's stint as Green Lantern for the DC Universe.

Credit also has to be given to Reynolds who really has the perfect personality to bring this character to life. Deadpool is raunchy, controversial, ruthless and a comedic gift.

Also a message to the parents who bring their little ones to see the film (there were many), they're going to see a lot of things you probably don't want them to see so it's better to keep them at home.

Overall, the film was perfectly balanced and thankfully there will be another one coming up for fans to enjoy, you might want to stay after the credits to find out what it's going to include.
