Although I do not see Deadoool as appealing as a rampaging lunatic mercenary, there’s something about his personality that’s infectious to watch. I hardly ever care about characters who are rather one-dimensional and they rely on one shtick to stand out.

Ryan Reynolds plays the titular hero and he really nails the comic book humour on the nose. Before, I thought this movie will be boring and the trailer is far from it. I’m curious in how the mutant Colossus is going to play in this story and by early indications, the producers want audiences to have fun with this film.

This movie is billed as a comedy, and it’s potential to be totally off the wall could rival the lighthearted quality from Guardians of the Galaxy. I will check this film out and Vancouver’s favourite son can yell, “Hallelujah!”
