Deadpool fans have waited six long years to see their favourite superhero on screen again. The movie was an audio-visual treat for all 90s kids right from the background scores (NSYNC, AC/DC, Avril Lavigne, Greenday) to the references and cameos made by superheroes dead and alive (X-Men, Avengers, Blade, Elektra, Fantastic Four, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk).
The core theme of the movie ran on the emotions of acceptance, being respected and wanting to make a difference. And that's why we love Deadpool. He's so flawed and funny, yet he gets it right every single time. His motor-mouth gets him into all sorts of trouble, yet his heart is essentially in the right place.
While the superhero fan-girl in me wants to root for Wolverine more than Deadpool, I can't help liking Deadpool more. We all need some chill in our lives and Deadpool is all about the chill, while still kicking the bad guy's ass. Wolverine does the same, in his grouchy old-fashioned way.
References to Charles Xavier instantly makes you miss X-Men and you wonder why the franchise has been discontinued.
I left the movie hall with all sorts of feelings - being amused, a wave of nostalgia and hoping against hope to keep watching all the superheros I grew up watching on the big-screen.
The lines between good and evil, responsibility and irresponsibility are truly blurred. We are all individuals who make decisions based on the circumstances handed to us. And Deadpool teaches us these simple life lessons.
