This is going to seem really lazy, but I can't really comprehend this... An utter contrast of two great things can make a blissful movie. That’s what the two parts in play of Tim Miller’s Deadpool do. Create a blissful, and blissfully sexy, funny and violent movie. I’d like to leave it there too. Deadpool is so deceptively un-cynical about its proceedings that nothing prevents it from blowing through them. It sets a simple goal: GET DEADPOOL TO WORK IN A MOVIE, and then prompts to do it with so much ease that there’s almost nothing to be said for its success. There’s just good people doing great jobs, and pulling off work so clever, and funny that it just catches you off guard and takes you for a wild ride. If there’s one thing that could be a thematic reason for the film working it’s the contrasting sides of the fun romance of the film’s incredible love story, and the violent slapstick that so informs the title character. All of this just shouldn’t work, but it does. Ryan Reynolds is spectacular, the direction is wonderfully dynamic, the X-Men and the jokes built around them –especially Colossus (Stefan Kapicic)– are quite realistic and well intentioned. For all the dirty jokes that permeate Deadpool the happy charm that is brought by these characters really helps. Deadpool will ultimately go down as a surprise film. This is not a film that should be this good, but it is. There’s not way around it. It just is. Deadpool gets a 10 out of 10.
