Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is a former Special Forces operative who now works as a mercenary. His world comes crashing down when the evil Ajax (Ed Skrein) tortures, disfigures and transforms him into Deadpool. The rogue experiment leaves Deadpool with accelerated healing powers and a twisted sense of humor. With help from mutant allies Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) and Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), Deadpool uses his new skills to hunt down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

What a lot of freaking fun! The movie is everything the trailer promises. What the trailer doesn't show, is the serious side of the movie; Deadpool's origin story is pretty brutal, but they handle it well. Ryan Reynolds and the studio did the character justice. This kind of movie is best seen on the big screen.

I went with my 14 year old daughter and we came up with the top 10 reasons to see Deadpool.

1. A crisp high-five.
2. The Civil War trailer in IMAX (OMG, Captain America and Bucky Barnes are beautiful).

 

3. Colossus manners

4. 5 baby fingers
5. Wolverine sexual innuendos
6. Having a soft...and a hard spot.
7. T-rex fighting technique, cause they are the most feared dinosaur.
8. Breaking the 4th wall, in the 4th wall is like...16 walls.
9. moody teenagers.
10. Stan Lee cameo

Be sure to stay after the credits.

I give it 4.5 sheep, but my daughter says
5 out of 5 bullets...but you'll have to share
