You can incinerate, eviscerate, even decapitate Deadpool, and he’ll keep on coming. One atrocity he barely survived, however, was Wolverine: X-Men Origins, in which the merc’s mouth was literally sewn shut. Deadpool heals those old wounds with an entertaining, brash origin story that finally showcases the potential of this atypical hero.
The risks it takes with its leading man are sadly lacking elsewhere – in terms of plot and villains, Deadpool is disappointingly conventional. But thankfully there’s enough weirdness poking through to offset these more predictable elements.
Thnx.
