reynolds was surprisingly decent in Wolverine Origins-- it's just a shame the character got screwed over.

he's perhaps not as goofy as the comics would depict and he's certainly got the suave/quirky edge to him which those unfamiliar to the character (ie- most people) will gravitate towards. I think he's sort of got a robert downey junior as iron man appeal to him. smart-ass, uncoventional, but still cocky and cool. in the comcis, deadpool is a bit of a joke and potentially lame.

all in all though, i think it's a solid choice and could be done a lot worse.

On a side note- what i'm most curious about this movie is how they're going to make the live action deadpool as expressive as in the comics? in the comics, the artist can draw his mask in a certain way to indicate partcular facial expressions and other such subtelties that im not sure will translate to a live action format.

Still- can wait to see how it all pans out!
