Last night, the first official trailer for the upcoming Deadpool film has hit the web and it did not disappoint. Deadpool has been a character that has become wildly popular in recent years and when the terrible X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out in 2009, fans everywhere lost their mind at the way that they butchered the Deadpool character. Ever since then, no one has been pushing harder for this movie to get made than Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds. This trailer is evidence of how passionate he is about this character and shows just how hard he wants to redeem it. And it's not just this trailer, but all of the lead up to it, whether it was his little skit with Mario Lopez or the trailer announcement or the tag that came with the Fantastic Four trailer, it has all been done perfectly.
Now onto the trailer itself, I should say that it doesn't reveal much about the actual story, which is perfectly fine because it is just the first trailer. It tells us just enough about who Wade Wilson is and how he becomes the anti-hero Deadpool, and then we are hit with a bunch of action sequences and jokes that serve the purpose of showing what kind of movie this will be. It was cool seeing Colossus in there, and I'm extremely curious to see how they explain him being there or what his purpose will be. It was also great to see some of the shots from the original leaked footage that surfaced at last years Comic-Con. All-in-all, this was a fantastic first trailer and shows a lot of promise for what could be one of the most fun superhero movies we've ever had.
After seeing this trailer, it's hard to imagine that they even considered making this film a PG-13 because I think that that would have taken so much away from who this character is and could have sucked the life out of him. Luckily, they ultimately went with the R rating and we get to see an all-out version of the "Merc with a Mouth". It should be noted that this won't be your typical superhero film, but that's not a bad thing. It is actually refreshing to see Fox take this genre in a different direction and simply make a wild and fun movie. There are at least 7 superhero movies coming out in 2016, and Deadpool just catapulted itself into my top-3 most anticipated of the year.

There aren’t very many directors who have had quite the career that Steven Spielberg has. The man who directed the very first blockbuster in Jaws , is the same man who has put together some of our most beloved films such as the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial , Jurassic Park , Close Encounters of the Third Kind , and the Indiana Jones series. It’s the same man that, aside from giving us these wonderfully imaginative films, has also given us hard-hitting dramas such as Schindler’s List , Lincoln and Bridge of Spies . His career has spanned 50 years, and the 71-year-old director shows no signs of slowing down. With his latest film, Ready Player One , Spielberg once again delivers an awe-inspiring film that captures the wonders of the imagination. It stars Tye Sheridan as Wade Watts/Parzival, Olivia Cooke as Samantha Cook/Art3mis, Ben Mendelsohn as the villainous Sorrento and Mark Rylance as OASIS creator James Halliday. The film takes place in 2045 Columbus, Ohio. In this futuristi...
