Angel and Tiggs

I insist this must be Ryan Reynolds and Marvel’s best movie to date. Last Monday I read somewhere that Deadpool had a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, something unheard of, at least for me.

The movie is consistently great, from the most creative opening to closing credits. I honestly felt like it was a stand-up comedy gig, like the best you’ve watched. Maybe Seth Rogen could learn from the writers?

The 4th wall worked beautifully, and so did many updated references to pop culture, movies in particular, other comics like X-Men and whatnot. The flow is quite unpredictable, a lot more fun to watch and be surprised. Stay tuned to every scene. Humour is great but also fast and witty. If you snooze, you will lose some of the best lines in the business. Also prepare yourself for a lot of blood. It’s a gory show at times.

These are many scenes filmed in Vancouver. It was nice seeing places so familiar and so close to me. The theatre almost went down when Stan Lee made his usual cameo. It was brilliant.

I didn’t know much about Deadpool but became a big fan after watching it. I’ve known many funny Saskatchewans, but Regina’s Wade Wilson (a.k.a Deadpool) has just been inducted into my honour roll.
