With the list of Avengers-themed movies growing every year, Marvel finally branched out to a whole new character with the very R-rated “Deadpool.” Bloody as can be, full of profanity, humor, sex and intense action sequences, “Deadpool” is a comedic breath of fresh air when it comes to the Marvel films.

Wade Wilson, played by Ryan Reynolds, was a former member of the Special Forces. He now spends his days making money taking out bad guys for common people on the streets. Soon he meets prostitute Vanessa, played by Morena Baccarin, and a seemingly fairy-tale love ensues. Wilson later discovers he has late stage cancer that has spread throughout his body. Not wanting Vanessa to witness him in such a vulnerable state, he agrees to an experimental procedure that is supposed to cure him and give him mutant abilities.

Performing his procedure are Ajax, played by Ed Skrein, and Angel Dust, played by Gina Carano, who were both patients themselves. Set on making an army of superhuman slaves, the two do whatever it takes to summon powers out of people, no matter the amount of pain inflicted.

After several failed attempts, Ajax finally brings out Wilson’s powers, but to Wilson’s horror, it leaves him severely disfigured. After escaping from and destroying the lab, Wilson sets his sights on finding Ajax and either forcing him to change his appearance back or watching him die a painful death.

Though Deadpool truly stole the show, the support he had was phenomenal as well. Including Colossus, played by Stefan Kapicic, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, played by Briana Hildebrand, the movie brought together a good amount of new characters and utilized their roles perfectly. Whether it was the ongoing bickering between Deadpool and Colossus or the jokes about what pubescent girls might do with Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s explosive powers, the three complemented each other perfectly.

“Deadpool” was definitely an action-packed movie, but it was filled with clever humor that made it hilarious as well. With several pop culture references, witty dialogue and constant, but not over-used, vulgarity, the film could definitely fall under either action or comedy.

The film, like the comic book, set out to be more of a response to other superhero stories rather than just a copy. With the reckless, almost parkour-ish gun and sword play, accompanied by the foul mouth acting of Reynolds, Deadpool is the only superhero so far that can kill, entertain and offend all at the same time.
