• Director: Tim Miller
• Films seen directed by Scott: Terminator Dark Fate

• Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Morina Baccarin, TJ Miller, Ed Skrein, Karan Soni
• Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor/actress in:
• Ryan Reynolds – Life, Woman in Gold, Wolverine, Life During Wartime
• Morina Baccarin – V, Serenity, Firefly
• TJ Miller – Ready Player One, Cloverfield

There’s a story here but never mind. Deadpool (Reynolds) is a newly created invincible superhero who refers often to the X-men, who have been trying to recruit him.

                Constant wise-arse asides, extreme violence and profanity, tongue-in-cheek clichés and likeable geeky characters make this a very entertaining film.
