Wade Wilson, who works as a mercenary, spends his time in NYC protecting teenage girls from would be stalkers. Ajax, an evil scientist tortures and transforms him into Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
It's fun for a while, and then it all becomes deeply disheartening, because calling attention to the more businesslike mechanics of superheroics isn't subversive when you're also playing right into them.
Tim Miller delivers a feat for his directorial debut, and on the superhero movie rating scale - which we can safely say has certainly had its ups and downs - Deadpool is pretty fresh.
Deadpool is obnoxious and puerile and infantile and has an irritating meta tone so snide that it's constantly in danger of nullifying the entire movie -- and I still got a pretty big kick out of it.
With the same goofiness and self-referential humor as a character like Spider-Man, but combined with the graphic violence most often seen in DC comics; perhaps Deadpool is just the perfect clash of contradictions.
