When I saw the teaser trailer for Deadpool I thought "wow!" but wondered if the actual movie might not be able to sustain the wow-factor for its whole run time.
Fear not. Deadpool is brilliantly funny from start to finish.
And funny is what it is about. Many action films have humour thrown in to lighten the mood. But Deadpool is the opposite of that - a comedy with action thrown in to darken the mood.
The action is still great though. Much darker than you would be able to pull off if it weren't embedded in the comedy.
The comedy isn't something my mother would approve of... very sexual and what she would call "crude". But certainly adult humour. There was plenty of laughter in the cinema I visited - even during the opening credits - read them!
Deadpool is famous for breaking the fourth wall, and that does happen in the movie. The writing is very clever. Deadpool even talks to other characters as if they are part of the audience... "anyone would think the studio couldn't afford any more X-men".
I tried to keep my expectations low for this film, because Fox have screwed up Marvel characters a few times. But they have really nailed this one. Ace!
