Starting with the satirical opening credits, this film embraces the sassy attitude that makes this anti-superhero so much fun. Ryan Reynolds is the perfect actor to play the role. He smartly nails every clever quip and witty observation, plus he’s easy on the eyes. The script is by the guys who penned “Zombieland,” so that gives you an idea of the non-stop wise cracks and smart pop culture references that fill the dialogue. The comic-book-style action is edited with a rapid-fire pace, but unlike so many modern fights, you can follow every punch. The approach is irreverent, sarcastic and very funny. Reynolds’ delightful character, the wonderfully twisted sense of humor and the inventive approach to a stale genre combine to create the most entertaining Marvel Comic flick yet. NOTE: Stay thru the credits for a fun final reference.
