). if you don't mind a bit of bad language. Everything is pleasingly sharp/clear and bright on Blu-ray.

What IS first shown on the screen (after the obligatory production logos etc) is a quite marvellous 2mins or so opening credits 'exposition' of a 3D/freeze-frame carousel nature (with some typically inappropriate schmaltzy covering music - 'Angel of the Morning' by Juice Newton), with absolutely NO MENTION of actual characters or cast/production members ! As that lengthy scene reaches a conclusion it is only THEN that we learn the 'Deadpool' back-story (in flashback) and the full details of his situation as mentioned in the Amazon synopsis - 'Deadpool' tells us that we are going to watch a love-story. Instead, whilst CORRECTLY mentioning the film character types and standard cast/production titles, it instead mocks the 'accepted' existence of them all as well as referring to them with derisory and often offensive labels. 1 soundtrack being clear and active to project the action and copious special-effects to their best.

This film came as something of a shock if one is used to the 'normal' storylines and content of Marvel 'X-Men' (and 'Avengers' for that matter) films; whilst having the basic elements of the genre, it is in almost all respects the 'antidote' to them (I'm stealing the analogy used by the BBC radio comedy programme 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'). . I've watched most of the X-Men series of films, except the 2 x dedicated 'Wolverine' productions - which I understand despite being made before this 'how he became what he is' film, feature this character.

AND I LOVED IT ! 'Deadpool' cost 'just' $60million but made some $800million at the box-office, making it the highest grossing X-Men film to date and the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2016. One of the test movies of this year and most defielty worth getting in 4K UHD blu ray!

the second film is worth buying too. For me, it is most certainly a guilty-pleasure but it somehow still manages to 'only' have a '15' viewing certificate - how that was achieved with so many 'non-PC' credentials reflects on what is now deemed to be more acceptable these days, as well as provoking reflection on exactly what type of film content is required for it to be awarded an '18' viewing certificate ! Over the remaining opening 15mins we are then introduced to the 'Deadpool' character in the present-day/near-silence with accompanying humorous behaviour, before learning the salient elements of his situation/personality/ultimate aim (with the aid of voice-over and him talking to the screen) as he goes about trying to complete his 'mission'.

To scotch the inaccuracy of many 'professional' reviews/synopsis, we do NOT learn anything about the origins of the 'Deadpool' character for some 15mins. To detail the plot would be largely revelatory, which is why I don't think you should read all the Amazon synopsis - instead, here's the sparsely-detailed first bit of it which I think is better and enough to start with :"Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson". But yo my surprise the best Marvrl movie I'v seen to date and I'v seen them all , so I thought I purchase this in 4K UHD blu ray and omg the picture and sound quality just adds to this already funny, tongue in cheek humour and action packed movie , definitely not a movie for kids a abuts super hero movie but not the super hero you'd expect !

So how do you explain the basics of this film ? 5 stars. Despite being devoid of homophobic, racist, or sexist content this movie is crammed with almost non-stop humour (that works !
