Next Friday my youngest son turns 25. He has invited me to go see deadpool with him. I have a good relationship with my sons and he feels free to tell me anything that he is going through because he knows I will not share it. I am curious if anybody else has seen Deadpool yet and what you think about it.
Below is a review of the movie.
"That Deadpool is not your typical Marvel film is clear within the first minute. The opening credits, rolled over a slow-panning freeze-shot of men soon to be wedgied, decapitated, and gutted like kebabs, inform the audience that this movie is directed by “An Overpaid Tool” (Tim Miller) and stars “God’s Perfect Idiot” (Ryan Reynolds).
Look at us being all self-aware and unconventional, the filmmakers prate, and for the next 100 minutes, that’s their running gag— and people are loving it. Deadpool had the best opening night ever for an R-rated movie, and Hollywood suits have already greenlighted a sequel. For any other comic-book movie, an R rating (for nudity, splattered brains, and F-bombs) equals death, but Deadpool puffs its scarlet letter with neon and glitter. That’s because its target audience is not pubescent geeks—it’s grown-ups with pubescent minds.
The title character was once Wade Wilson (Reynolds), a nice-looking, crude-talking, motormouthed ex-Special Forces mercenary who meets hooker Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). Their romance blooms over a montage of kinky sex scenes. Then, during an underground medical operation to treat his terminal cancer, Wade turns into Deadpool, a split-kicking mutant with superfast regenerative abilities.
Deadpool retains his trashy mouth, but loses his pretty-boy looks. The entire plot centers on Deadpool’s revenge on the posh-speaking villain (Ed Skrein) who disfigured him. He dismembers plenty of humans as he does so, while burping out every dirty, half-digested thought that pops into his psychopathic mind.
Without so much as a moral compass, what’s left for the sequel? How many more ways can you devastate a human body, how many more reproductive organs can you phrase into an insult? Well, liberal web magazine Slate did grouse that Deadpool isn’t “pansexual” enough. But while some audiences may find Deadpool entertaining and refreshing, in reality, it’s pretending not to be something it is: a cleverly packaged product of the very establishment it mocks."

Deadpool addresses the audience directly (breaking the fourth wall), is profane, sarcastic, and violent. That being said I found it absolutely hilarious, and it didn't feel like two hours had passed when the end credits rolled. The end credits even kept me laughing. It had so much in it that I am going to see it a second time just to appreciate the stuff I missed the first go around. If you enjoy sarcasm and fast moving one liners, then this is a movie you will enjoy. If you are looking for an artsy, deep, academy award type film, then this is not for you.

I have seen it with my son and we both thought is was a very funny movie. It has some raw stuff, but if you just roll with it than you will have fun.
