Deadpool. The long anticipated movie has finally come. That being said, Deadpool isn’t Marvel’s typical superhero movie. Deadpool is portrayed as more of an antihero. As seen in their past movies, Marvel tends to stick to their normal hero stereotypes. Deadpool, however, makes fun of itself and the label. With more than a few self-deprecating jokes, the movie has a more riotous tone, according to the director of Guardians on the Galaxy, James Gunn.

“I had my doubts,” senior Sohail Jchaj said. “I didn’t think it would be good at all. But I went to opening night, and it was so good.”

Along with the fact that the movie is different from most of Marvel’s past movies, Deadpool is unique in its own way. While the idea of the main character talking to the audience isn’t new when it comes to comedy, audiences across the nation had an overwhelmingly positive reaction to Deadpool’s witty comments towards the camera.

“Deadpool talking to the camera added a whole new effect to the movie,” freshman Danielle Frey said. ”It made it seem like the audience was sharing an inside joke with him.”

The running trend with critic reviews was the R-rating. While most films R rating has to do with the language and violence, Deadpool has strong language throughout, violence, sexual content and graphic nudity. According to more than a few reviews on IMDB, parents were upset about the fact that they took their kids to see it and were surprised at the nude fight scene and the very strong language.

“It was really good,” freshman Aaron Telkamp said. “They couldn’t have brought out true Deadpool without putting an R-rating. If it was PG-13, they would have never been able to do this movie the way it was done.”

With its unique persona, the movie also made Marvel history when it made $135 million dollars in box sales within three days. With its estimated budget of $58 million, the movie made a huge profit, much more than the producers were expecting. According to Gunn, the overwhelming response to the movie wasn’t because of the R-rating. It was because it was original, and the filmmakers weren’t afraid to take risks.
