\"New1. Deadpool (Fox, 3,558 Theaters, 108 Minutes, Rated R for strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity, Rotten Tomatometer at press time: 82% Fresh<\/a> [135 Reviews]): <\/strong>Deadpool’s rise in popularity came during a lull in my comic book buying. I own his first appearance, which will I’m sure will pay for my daughter’s college someday, but I missed pretty much everything that came after that.<\/p>\n

So I am not one of those who were hooting and hollering for a film version of the character done right. Not that I’d say that I was satisfied with his appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine<\/strong>, but I wasn’t that much of a fanboy of the character that I welcomed a great version of the Merc With a Mouth.<\/p>\n

However, this might be a first–a film version of a comic book character that might make me a fan of the character itself. The reviews have been fantastic (you can read FBOL Head Honcho Rich Drees’ take on it here<\/a>) and it has been lauded as one of the best comic book films to date.<\/p>\n

The film follows Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), a mercenary who undergoes a special treatment to cure his cancer. The process works, but leaves him scarred physically and mentally. He escapes and becomes a hero to pass the time until he is able to find a better cure.<\/p>\n
