Deadpool : Movie Review

I, like millions of others, had been waiting for this movie for such a long long time. And since the announcement, the teasers and trailers have kept many fans waiting anxiously. And the movie does not disappoint at all.

This movie is in a way an origin story and an introduction to Marvel's funniest anti hero. Wade Wilson(Ryan Reynolds, who's first appearance had the women in the theatre hooting away) is a do good mercenary for hire doing the odd jobs to help people out but he is no hero. He meets this crazy, borderline Nymphomanic woman named Vanessa (the ever sensual Morena Baccarin), and over the course of their sexual and fun escapades, they fall madly in love. Classic valentine weekend movie release, right? No. This is when things go all cock up for Wade as he gets diagnosed with late stages of cancer in very important parts of his body. Having given up on the better life that he had dreamed with Vanessa, a suit shows up promising a cure. With no options, Wade agrees and over the events that follow, Deadpool is born. He is near immortal but his mutation has left him permanently scarred, and he is after the man responsible, Ajax(the drool-worthy Ed Skrein as the Brit villain). The rest of the plot and the characters therein are for you all to explore and enjoy.

The movie is packed with explosive action scenes and foul language, but never feels overdone. All the Deadpool gags, especially the fourth wall breaks, never seem forced and always in sync with the comic character's reputation. Even though it got an A rating, the indian censor board did ruin a bit of the foul mouthed humor but YouTube can help you out there. And no role is too small, as proved by T.J. Miller as Deadpool's best friend and the seemingly harmless cabbie, Dopinder. It is a fun watch and definitely a good break from the slew of typical superhero movies that have been entertaining us for the last few years now. Deadpool is definitely worth a watch and I like it so much, I'm gonna get a copy for home once its out so I can enjoy and laugh my ass off again and again. Maximum Effort!

Spoiler alert, stay till the end of the credits, worth it.



Hope you enjoyed reading, feel free to share and comment.

Fast X: Movie Review

Image
This is it, the final instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise that started all the way back in 2001. To be precise, it's the first part of the tenth and final instalment in the series. There was a lot of build-up around this one with various petrolhead circles making plans for group viewings. But I wanted my Fast X experience to be as unadulterated as possible. I did not even watch a single trailer and did not have any inkling about what to expect in terms of stunts and new characters. I did not mention story plot expectations because I knew that there probably wasn't going to be one, not really.   Everything from hereon can be considered a spoiler, so skip to the final para for a rating/assessment. The "Plot" The central storyline, if that's what we can call it, for Fast X gives us a flashback to 'Fast Five' (arguably one of the best movies in the series in terms of heist sequences). We are treated to some tear-jerking flashbacks of Paul Walker as ...

Red Notice: Movie Review

Image
 It's quite common for movies to be made with no plot, a cast of popular actors with loyal fanbases and a big CGI budget. Red Notice is one of those movies. Netflix has been churning out an increasing number of platform-exclusive movies, but it's now harder to find good ones. When they dropped the first trailer for this action-flick starring Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson, I knew I was going to watch it as a fan of the Canadian funnyman. They also showed Gal Gadot as a key character to onboard a slew of horny teens as well. The movie plot is a treasure hunt for an Egyptian artefact, a bejewelled golden egg and part of a set of three, known as Cleopatra's eggs. It explains off the bat that the term Red Notice is the highest wanted level in Interpol, which is a sort of global police agency. The movie then introduces us to a generically-sassy boss lady Inspector Das, played by Ritu Arya, who's chasing one of the best art thieves in the world. She enters the scene accompa...

How A Brand Image Can Be Ruined By Its Own People

Image
In a highly competitive business environment, the only sustainable option is to build a brand that attracts certain types of buyers with quality products catering to their interests. Or to put it simply, brand image is key for long-term success. Unfortunately, too many brands make simple mistakes that can undo years of marketing exercises and not even realise it. The one I want to talk about here is how brand image is ruined/tarnished by its employees and affiliates.  I recently attended the Indian MotoGP and due to event circumstances, my tickets were adjusted to a different stand at the Buddh International Circuit. Mind you, these were far from the more affordable tickets and had a lot to live up to. My new seats were in a stand that had been rebranded as the Yamaha stand with massive tapestries and flags all around. The MotoGP is a three-day event with the main race on the final day. The first two days, casual fans did not bother to show up so that meant the stand was at half-ca...
