A Few Thoughts on the Big Screen Debut of "Deadpool"

​Written by  Shae

This is the weekend of Deadpool, and also love and chocolate, but whatever, it's mostly Deadpool. The great debate has been raging on for quite some time on whether this movie will be good or not. There are two sides of the coin, most of us are rooting for it to win and others want it to fail, but either way, this is pretty cool. Marvel's first R rated film to date and we get it to be Deadpool! How could this movie be any other rating!?

Regardless of the viewpoint I am personally excited for this movie. Yes, there's a lot that could go wrong, but there's a lot that could go right. Ryan Reynolds is back as everyone's favorite mercenary. Now, I know, X-Men Origins: Wolverine was kind of a disaster. But! Thanks to the events of Days of Future's Past, none of that happened. So we get a new Deadpool origin and hopefully he's written properly. The mouthy schizophrenic we all love might have a chance at being portrayed awesomely on the big screen. Okay, there are some downsides, but at the same time we're all going to watch it anyway. For those who read the comics, we know what to look for. Something has to be said for those who aren't comic readers though. Perhaps this movie will be the perfect amalgamation of comic meets movie.

I am hoping for some bad ass one liners, sassy attitude, and over the top violence. I'm hoping that we see the splintered fragmented mind of our anti-hero. There of course has to be playfulness, and even a bit of uneasiness to the movie. If Deadpool doesn't break the fourth wall then I don't know what's going to happen. In all seriousness I am really excited for this movie! Yes, the love story aspect threw me off from the very first time it was mentioned in a preview. It could work, however. It's a matter of waiting and seeing.

For those going or who already have gone, no spoilers!
