Oh, excuse us, we were just reciting one of our favorite underrated lines from Mary Poppins, the Disney musical classic that happens to be the subject of this week's new Mousterpiece Cinema. Can't put me finger on what lies in store, but I feel what's to happen, all happened before. Like something is brewin' and 'bout to begin.

Combined with some excellent production and costume design (it’s hard to get over how great the Deadpool suit looks), and a wonderfully eclectic soundtrack, the film brandishes fantastic flair and thrills that complete the picture.ĭeadpool’s script spent about five years on the shelf waiting to get made, and watching the finished result, it’s hard to understand why its incredible potential wasn’t seen and exploited sooner. ![]() What’s more, the movie certainly takes full advantage of its R-rating – racking up a sizable and creatively-created body count that clearly demonstrates the protagonist’s anti-hero status – but it also never pushes the violence towards unpleasant gratuity. Surely benefiting from Tim Miller’s extensive and impressive background in visual effects, the biggest action sequences are pure-blooded spectacle, rife with highway pile-ups, stunningly choreographed acrobatics and hand-to-hand combat, intense gunplay, and katana-swinging badassery. Not having the budget of your typical $150-200 million blockbuster, Deadpool is relatively small-scaled for a comic book movie, but the production deserves an incredible amount of credit for maximizing the resources that they have.

Reynolds has certainly had a rough go of it in the genre – not only starring in the brutal X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but the equally bad Green Lantern and Blade: Trinity - but those past failures only add a tremendously righteous redemption angle to Deadpool’s story. There is much to be said about the clear and shining love for Marvel Comics’ most notorious character that comes through in the writing and direction of the film, but the greatest weapon Deadpool possesses is star Ryan Reynolds – given a second shot to prove that he is the perfect actor to play the Merc With The Mouth (spoiler alert: he absolutely does).
