Break out the chimichangas and head to the movie theater because Deadpool finally opens today nation wide and it's freaking fantastic. It's not only the most fun studio feature film to be released this year (and to be honest, last year too), it also blows up the superhero movie assembly line that Hollywood studios and audiences have gotten comfortable with.

Marvel Studios gets all sorts of credit for their originality and deservedly so, but this movie is not like anything you've ever seen in this particular genre. The script is extremely smart and armed with a sense of humor that is pitch black and superbly naughty. To say that the title character is irreverent is to fall extremely short of the cinematic pleasures that come with watching a giant  studio tentpole, potential blockbuster hold nothing sacred.

The opening credits, which are the best in all of film history,  declares director Tim Miller an "overpaid deuce bag" and it goes on from there. The razor sharp jokes are aimed at the studio, the genre, the X-men movies, the production's budget and mostly Ryan Reynolds' pretty boy status and lack of acting ability. The jokes on that latter topic are funny but they loose their sting very rapidly as the actor is pure perfection in this role. Whether he's in or out of the red suit Reynolds owns this character the same way Robert Downey Jr. took to Tony Stark and Hugh Jackman to Wolverine.

The only gripe against this movie could be regarding the barely there plot, but that would be just ridiculous. This movie does more to subvert the genre in five minutes than all of Watchmen and Kick Ass put together. The structure is basically one extended action sequence cut up with various flashbacks that lets us know that before donning the red suit our protagonist was known as Wade Wilson, a mercenary for hire known for his ambiguous moral code and for running his mouth with wisecracks. Destiny throws him a curve ball when he meets the girl of his dreams (which leads to a fantastically progressive sex montage sequence) only to be diagnosed with terminal cancer a year later.  It's the search for a cure that leads our protagonist to a darker path that leaves him with superpowers and immortality.

To reveal more about the plot is to ruin the many filthy delights this movie has to offer. All you need to know is that Stan Lee makes his best appearance ever, there is a post-credit scene and the whole thing feels like it was written by the creators of the Wile E. Coyote Looney Tunes. That might not sound like the best thing, but it is and audiences will have a blast.

Deadpool is now playing in theaters.
