From start to finish this is one of the best Marvel films to
date mixing edgy humor with gritty drama and a heaping dose of chaotic violence
creating a recipe of sheer, non-stop, geektastic enjoyment. For starters, it contains one of the best
opening credit scenes in cinematic history and Marvels best ever end credits
sequence; one that I can't imagine, they will ever be able to top. Reynolds is in love with this role and that
is evident in every word spoken during every scene which he absolutely owns with
a feral dominance. He is Deadpool and
no one could bring him to life in a more thoroughly engrossing and entertaining
manner. Miller provides pitch-perfect
timing as the comic relief of the flick, as if Reynolds needed an assist at
all, with his relentless biting, in your face, laugh out loud, one-liners,
sarcasm, and 4th wall breaking dialogue.
The remaining cast does an excellent job but is undeniably eclipsed by
Ryan's incarnation of this comic book icon.
The effects are near flawless with one slight complaint; Colossus'
presence is so CGI that it is overtly noticeable CGI. My only other criticism is the excessive
nudity, which could have been left out without hurting any aspect of the
overall impact. With those out of the
way, there is nothing more to complain about.
This movie pulls you in and doesn't let go until its final second. Absolutely not for the kiddies with
language, comments, and sexuality that breaks any ceiling that existed before
like a katana through plate glass. 4 out
of 5 Kernels: The Merc with a Mouth delivers in a way that forever establishes
this feature as one of the greatest comic book movies of our time.
