Deadpool firmly nails its colours to the mast within the first minute of the opening credits with such statements as “Directed by an overpaid tool”. With the tone clearly established the movie then proceeds to satirise the very genre its set in and walks a very fine line between knowing in-jokes and actually biting the hand that feeds it. The screenplay is littered with profanity and dick jokes, with violent death frequently served as a punchline. The only thing missing from the proceedings are well placed rimshots. Deadpool is a film that will polarise audiences. Many will find the breaking of the fourth wall, the smutty quips along with the overall mocking of the super hero genre very droll. However there will be some critics who are obliged to see this movie that won’t be in on the joke and they will more than likely leave theatres very offended.
