Read my spoiler-free movie review of Deadpool (2016).

---

Film and comic book fans have been going crazy over the recent Deadpool trailer trailer. And no. That’s not a typo. The makers of the film have indeed released an actual trailer, for the trailer.

If like myself you’re a non-reader of comic books or just unfamiliar with the Deadpool story, but want to make sense of what you’ve just seen, below is what wikipedia had to say about this Marvel Comics/X-Force/X-Men Origins character:

‘Deadpool is a disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary with the superhuman ability of an accelerated healing factor. He is known as the “Merc with a Mouth” because of his talkative nature and tendency to break the fourth wall, which is used by writers to humorous effect.’

Based on what I’ve watched of the films star, Ryan Reynolds, I think he’s been cast well in this role, thanks to his fully proven comic abilities.

Deadpool Release Date (s): February 10th, 2016 (UK), February 12th, 2016 (US)…

Happy Film Loving,
