I've got to say, this is what us fans have been begging Fox to make a Deadpool movie to wipe away the tainted memory that is Weapon XI (who doesn't deserve Deadpool's name) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and yet for once, the studio finally got it right after the X-Men franchise was saved by last summer's Days of Future Past. Guess the highly-praised reception to the test footage at Comic-con really paid off! It looks like Deadpool will be Ryan Reynolds' first excellent comic book movie after flops like Blade: Trinity, Green Lantern, and R.I.P.D. All of this blood and gore (hopefully, my dad's ok with it) among the violent action in this "vulgar comedy" is just what we expect in Deadpool which harkens back to the part where Hit-Girl kills all of the bad guys in the apartment in the 1st Kick-Ass movie. I'm glad that it's actually going to be rated R instead of the watered down PG-13 rating which didn't work so well with the first Wolverine spin-off that was supposed to define what makes Wolverine a savage mutant. Thought that everything Ryan Reynolds says (including the Green Lantern reference) is pretty funny, as though the script was made by Deadpool fans. But is it just me, or was Colossus IN this Deadpool movie? Only he looks more comic book accurate than he was in X-Men 2-3 & DOFP. Not sure what his purpose was besides being the main connection point that Deadpool is "set in the X-Men universe", but it's great seeing that the big Russian metal-skinned mutant is getting the recognition he deserves! This'll no doubt make a lot of money like how Kingsman: The Secret Service earned over $400 million even for an R-rated comic book film since there's like a LOT of fans who love Deadpool in the Marvel comics. I am absolutely ready for 2016, and this Merc with the Mouth flick is among my anticipated films I look forward to see besides Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!
