Deadpool
20th Century Fox, Marvel Entertainment
Dir. Tim Miller
Combining intense action, witty, dark humor, and actor Ryan Reynold’s knack for comedic timing and delivery, Deadpool hits hard and delivers like few in the X-Men franchise have been able to so far. Unburdened by the need to seek a PG-13 rating, Deadpool is able to be the no holds barred fight/laugh fest. Reynolds’ delivery of the character is mesmerizing, and a supporting cast of brilliant young character actors, including T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley), Karan Soni (Safety Not Guaranteed) and Morena Baccarin (Serenity), ensure the film’s perfection.
