Synopsis: Contract killer Wade (Reynolds) lives a perfect love story with Vanessa (Baccarin) when he is diagnosed with cancer. After being contacted by a man promising a mysterious treatment, he will have to make a choice.
Review: I have never read the comic book, but from what I heard Deadpool contains a very special offbeat humour that makes him stand apart in the X-men Universe, and people were very disappointed by the apparition of this character in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This project, supported by its main actor Ryan Reynolds was promising to be more faithful to the comics (see the promotion posters at the end of this article) and I guess it succeeded. 
The movie is filled with self-mockery, often via the actor breaking the fourth wall (talking to the camera) about the simplistic story, the good looks of Ryan Reynolds, or the fact that the special effects look cheaper then in the other X-men movies for example! That's refreshing in the current too serious super-hero movie trend. And the role is perfect for Reynolds, both before and after he becomes Deadpool.
So I liked the movie but not to the point of rating it more than 7/10. The scenes and characters are original in a well-depicted X-men world and I will probably enjoy watching the movie again. But it is not hilarious either.
Rating: 6 /10
