Gun fights, sword fights, 4th wall breakage, lewd humor.. Everything you could ask for in a Deadpool flick. I also loved the "Don't make the suit green or animated" Green Lantern dig.

I actually like the guy; loved him in Smokin' Aces and thought he was the only reason to watch Blade Trinity. But he just keeps falling on his face.
Deadpool is right in his wheelhouse. If it sucks, he's probably shot as an A Lister.
While he's had several successes in the world of comedy, I don't think he's viewed as an "A-List" guy. He'll always have that genre to fall back into if he chooses and he'd great in a "fish out of water" buddy cop film, with the right script and cast, of course.
I thought that he and Blake Lively were great in The Green Lantern but the direction and script weren't up to par. IMO, that's not on him but on the studio. They've since reversed course and will now have two Green Lanterns in one film and while I like Chris Pine, I think Reynolds would have been the better choice.
I follow the guy on Twitter and he's naturally hilarious at times, saying some really off-the-wall and taboo shit. If he decided to pursue only comedies, he could be a superstar. [Reply]
He was great in Amityville Horror, Blade Trinity, Wolverine: Origins, The Change Up and Safe House. He did well in Green Lantern as well, that movie just blew dicks for so many reasons other than his performance. [Reply]
