Deadpool (2016)
★★★½
This review may contain spoilers.
I like this movie! Most other people might not but I do, it's a lot of freaking fun and is very funny I thought I remembered it being funnier than it was but that is about 1/4th true some of the jokes are not good but they are moving so quick that you barely have time to reflect on a joke before your onto the next one.
I like the music in this movie a lot good appreciation for it, the chemistry between ryan and morena is freaking great, they just go so great together on screen, I like the idea of this being a rom-com I wish it leaned into that a lot more and really went with it a Deadpool rom-com where he is breaking the 4th wall the whole time would have been great -- on that note one thing I will give the movie is the quiet moments that we get with Wade we see his character cry and feel which is so crucial for the movie so that way we understand him.
I also really like the sound editing at points it was really good, the droning and whispering in the scene where as he puts it he stalks vanessa, is really good, the music dipping in and out and glitching was a nice touch in the last final fight scene and a couple other places where it was really good, all in all good movie, I wish the cinematography was a bit more expressive but it was good for the story and the budget that they were doing so it all worked out.
movie notes are below!
---------------------------------
- I like the licensed music choices that they made in the movie especially Shoop by Salt-N-Peppa.
- the bullet countdown scene is amazing, I like the pacing of the scene it moves really smoothly and well,
- I like that he doesn't say 1 but that it shows up on bullet.
- I like how this movie presents as a superhero movie but turns out to be a rom-com, I only wish that it was more heavy-handed as one, like ultra cheese but on purpose.
- "I will shoot your fucking cat" is the greatest line ever.
- that fuck you Wade was ADR lol.
-"Happy Lint" lol.
- I like the chemistry between Vanessa and Wade, it's nice and very compelling.
- the reverb and fade out on "I'll be home for Christmas" was nice sound design.
- I wish that when he was talking about memorizing the details in her face we focused fully on Vanessa and we didn't jump back to his reaction in betwixt that.
- I feel like the structure of the story is what hurts this movie a bit, they are successfully mixing tones but I feel the pacing scene to scene is fast at some points and slower at others -- another noticeable thing is that the flashback scenes are paced very well, so maybe it's just the superhero bits.
- I do like unlike the other superhero movies nowadays you get to see these quiet moments like Wade tearing up and contemplating life losing sleep it feels genuine.
- I also feel like when trying to write characters who are using humor to mask there real feelings they have really nailed it here.
- I love how expressive the white eyes are on the Deadpool suit.
- I like the scene of them talking about things that they are going to do when they are out of here.
- the make up department did such a great job on the make up for wade, like the details on his cuticles, his finger nails, such a small detail but so great.
- the sound editing during the scene where he is just about to confront vanessa is pretty good.
- captain deadpool, love this montage I love the variations on his suit, wish we saw a bit more that would have been cool.
- the baby hand is amazing, just watching it slowly reach into frame is so funny.
- it's these moments(where he is siking himself up in the bathroom) where you feel the connection between him and the audience where the movie should put it's full focus, making these moments real.
- it's cool to see the helicarrier from the Avengers movie.
- not everyone monitors a hall like you.
- does colossus vomit metal?
- I do like the ending of this movie, it's nice and makes sense in the story.
- I forgot how awesome the end credits crawl was, super cool animation, it would be cool if these were in the movie a bit more but I don't know where they would have been so I don't know that's just me talking.
