Perhaps the villain wasn't very compelling as character. I'm certain that if one sits and picks this apart, you will eventually find some flaws. Even films I really like, or even love, have flaws. What were the flaws? I don't often see a film without pointing out the negatives. I kept thinking afterwards about the film. Sitting in the cinema, the inner critic in me struggled internally. They are incredibly similar in their style of fight scenes. I couldn't help but be reminded of Tarantino's, Kill Bill films while watching Deadpool. Not only is the action brutal, and extremely bloody, it's just co clear and well handled. Director Tim Miller and cinematographer Ken Seng do a brilliant job creating slick, good looking action.
Thankfully, there are films like this, and others, that know exactly how to do a good action scene. The worst example in recent memory of this is, Taken 3. Instead of clear, steady shots, the DP will go hand held, and shake the camera violently. For whatever reason, many modern action films are using shaky cam. Many action films today are butchered by terrible camera work. As for the action, it's also very satisfying. The film had me laughing constantly from the opening credits, all the way to the after credits scene. Not one joke, that I remember, fell flat.
The writing is so perfect, so sharp, and so full of witty banter, and thankfully, it all works.
This film is by far one of the most hysterical films I have seen in some time. One of the trademarks, nay, the trademark of Deadpool is his sense of humour. The events of the film don't play out in a normal straight narrative. It was so different, and it worked so very well. Many times, Deadpool turns to the audience and tells us what we're all thinking. It knows its a comic book film with comic book characters, and it actually exploits it. Right off the bat, this film is consciously self-aware. This is a beloved character, and his world is very different than other Marvel films. Both Marvel and the studios bringing us this film took a major risk. Deadpool is a unique film, and a huge gamble. No one holds a candle to Reynolds, but I will say not one person was miscast here. He is also such a liveable character, and by the end of the film, I genuinely cared about Deadpool. IS Iron Man, then Ryan Reynolds IS Deadpool. I mean he is just superb! He completely owns the role, and gives a fantastic performance.
Reynolds is absolutely phenomenal as the foul mouthed, and witty anti hero. After Ryan Reynolds's dramatic failure in the Green Lantern film, he has returned to the comic book world. If anyone else could be cast to play Deadpool, he certainly doesn't exist in this universe.
