Trivia:
In the late-'90s, Deadpool was given his very own comic book series. In the comic, he would team up with an inventor and supplier that goes by the name of Weasel. Weasel has also been known to "Bling" Deadpool's tactical gear. Weasel has invented a teleportation belt with Deadpool's logo on it and a satchel that supplies an unlimited amount of weapons.

Rating: 8/10
The latest Marvel superhero movie Deadpool helpfully sets the bar
during its opening minutes, when its wisecracking eponymous protagonist
compares an unpleasant taste to "two hobos f%#king in a shoe full of
p!$s." It's a clear statement of intent for anyone who missed the
film's popular, profanity-packed red-band trailers: This is an R- rated
superhero movie, and the filmmakers are out to earn the rating as
thoroughly and colorfully as possible. In the opening firefight,
Deadpool takes a bullet square in the rectum: "Ugh, right up Main
Street," he groans. He brands a generic crook on the forehead with a
red-hot cigarette lighter, then crams it in the guy's mouth: "I never
say this," he chuckles, "but don't swallow." And then he casually kills
the crook's entire team, doling out snark as heads pop off bodies, or
explode under gunfire. There's a potentially toxic smugness to the
entire film, as Deadpool smirks and swaggers through a long, eventually
wearying series of creative executions.
Deadpool's relentless pace is refreshing, and so is the sense that
viewers will be able to keep up. The aggressive mayhem often comes
close to Mark Millar territory, but those characters spelled out their
contempt for the audience, and their hatred and rage made them
unpleasant company. Deadpool, meanwhile, treats the audience into the
ultimate collaborators, removed from harm, and in on the joke. He lives
in a no-harm, no-foul, consequence-free world where even the most awful
villains smile wryly at his quips, and the authentic heroes who
disapprove of his methods just wag their fingers. It's a rough world
for nameless crooks, whose corpses get treated like the ultimate joke.
But it's sloppy, goofy fun for everyone else.
