The blue tint that's noticeable on Blu-ray – an aspect we thought tied the film into the mainline X-Men universe – is less so on the 4K. It's certainly no up-convert from 2K that we've commonly seen in 4K releases, and the resulting image is an upgrade over the Blu-ray in most, if not all, aspects.Ĭolours are much more solid and richer, an effect that's noticeable as soon as the Marvel insignia flickers into life, but overall, the image is darker than the HD version. The film's cinematographer, Ken Seng, calls it 4K and we're inclined to agree, but with a few caveats. Most of the visual effects were rendered at 2K and the film's DI (Digital Intermediate) was delivered in 4K HDR. To recap, the majority of film was shot on the Arri Alexa XT Plus camera at 3.4K (with a few scenes in 35mm, 4K and 5K). The 4K has been out for a year, so there's already been plenty of debate as to whether this is true 4K. MORE: Watch trailers for the biggest new films coming out in 2017 Picture

It has plenty of well-crafted action scenes and through the Vanessa/Wade relationship, gives you characters to care about.

While it's not a film of huge scope or budget - half of it is told through flashbacks - it embraces the knowingly daft plotline as Wade attempts to get his face back to normal. Deadpool isn't a product of the Weapon X program and Morena Baccarin's Vanessa isn't (yet) the version seen in the comics (a mutant by the name of Copycat). A few changes have been made but nothing to cause alarm. The R-rating (15 certificate in the UK) allows the frequently potty-mouthed jokes to come to the fore. Wilson is left disfigured, causing him to go after the man who conducted the procedure (Ed Skrein's Ajax) for some well-deserved payback.ĭeadpool as a comic-book character has always had an offbeat sense of humour, regularly breaking the fouth wall, much to the chagrin of everyone he meets, and the film is faithful to that conceit.Ĭonsidering previous attempts at getting the character off the ground resulted in a grossly mishandled appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the success of the solo Deadpool film deserves a round of applause for writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, director Tim Miller and star Reynolds. Cured of his cancer, he's endowed with accelerated healing (a la Wolverine), but the treatment produces some unforseen results.
