Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2016 film Deadpool.
Story
The story is extremely simple while doing a great job of lovingly mocking the superhero formula.
Score: 0.5
Characters
The cast is nice aand small, giving lots of room of Wade’s emotional journey. The cast that we do get to know are interesting and varied.
Score: 1
Dialogue
The dialogue is next level, mixing meta references, fourth wall breaks, and general silliness.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
The budget shows with the digital effects but the fight choreography and practical effects are spectacular.
The soundtrack is excellent and filled with great songs and a fun score.
Score: 1
Fun
This was the third time I’ve seen it and despite a few crude moments that I didn’t like, I find it a lot of fun. There’s a joyfulness to the character that’s refreshing.
Score: 1
Overall
Deadpool is often treated as a joke and this leans into the jokes while still having a lot of heart. The action is top-notch and Ryan Reynolds is perfect in the role.
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
