All things Deapool


The new Deadpool movie is a hit!
We knew it was going to be good only if the studios didn't mess with the story and they stuck to the source material. This is a great example that shows the studios that all of the years the writers put in developing the characters in comics is valuable. You can't argue with over twenty years and in some cases many more years of development.

Ryan Reynolds has been pushing to get this movie made for a few years. It looks like all of his efforts have paid off to our benefit.
 
 
 So for the few people who don't know who this character is I will give you a brief introduction.
Wade Wilson AKA Deadpool is a Mercenary who went around the world working for the next big score. He found out that he had cancer and he was going to die very soon. He was approached by a rep from the Weapon X program who offers a second option to Wade.
This option would not only save his life but it would make him better than he was before.
 

After going through the process Wade made a stunning discovery. His appearance was altered in a horrific way. His entire body looked like he had been through a meat grinder.



This look is right along with the source material so all of the comic book nerds are smiling. Deadpool got his name from the list of people who they thought would die. The group placed bets on who would die first so with that in mind Wade decided that would be his new name.

 

The movie included all of this information along with some of the best jokes I have heard in a while.

 
This image isn't from the movie....I just thought it was funny. LOL

Deadpool is after the guy who took his girl friend.

 
Dead pool had to go against a guy who couldn't feel pain and he was pretty strong as well. The one liners flowed and the hits just kept on coming. It was a wild ride and I enjoyed every second of it.

They had a couple of X-men in the movie which also had me laughing. I love the way they stuck to Colossus being Russian and trying to win Deadpool over to the X-Men. That was a funny bit all in itself. The fight scenes with the X-Men were awesome. This was a low budget movie $58 million dollars to be exact and they made that money back by Saturday morning.


I look forward to the next two movies.....Come on you don't think they will make this a trilogy?

They would have to be completely idiotic not to.
Deadpool will go on to open up new avenues for the superhero movies. For those of you who don't like hero movies I'm sorry...there are movies I don't like as well I just ignore them and keep it moving. My hope is that we will see the super hero movies stay around for about 50 years so that all of the fans can really enjoy them.
 
I hope you enjoyed reading this blog I will see you later.
