Deadpool is not your typical superhero movie. If your expecting Iron Man or Batman you might be disappointed. The movie is an origin story about how Wade Wilson becomes Deadpool. Wilson is a mercenary who gains mutant powers and gets disfigured in an experiment. He doesn’t see himself as a hero even though some of the X-Men do.

To warn you, the movie has lots of bad language, violence, sex and nudity… That goes back to my first statement. If you are cool with that then you will truly enjoy it. It is very funny, I laughed the whole time. They even poked fun at Marvel movies, the people in the movie and Green Lantern. The casting was perfect for every character. The story was fun too. It is a much better introduction of Deadpool then in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It is one of the best origin story superhero movies that Hollywood has made.

It’s probably not a film to take your lady to on Valentine’s weekend if you are planning a romantic night out unless she is really cool. However, there is a love story involved in the film.
