REVIEW | Deadpool
Hello all, I'm Brian. My good friend Reneir has graciously invited me to contribute to his Marvel/DC blog. Today I saw the movie "Deadpool," so I thought I would share my thoughts. My familiarity with Deadpool, not being a comics reader, comes mostly from his appearances in video games such as the "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" series. Basically, I knew that he is an ultra-violent assassin who loves the sound of his own voice and regularly breaks the fourth wall (aka, he knows he's in a comic book, video game, movie, or whatever it is, and frequently addresses the audience). That's really all you need to know going into this movie. If you're not prepared for Deadpool's . . . unique personality, you might be in for a shock, especially if you're expecting your standard superhero fare. This is definitely not your usual Marvel movie. Sure, it's got your sexy love interest (Morena Baccarin of "Firefly" and "Serenity" fame),
