If you loved the way “Guardians of the Galaxy” turned the standard superhero formula on its spandex-covered ear - and you’re old enough to handle some very R-rated language and violence - “Deadpool” delivers a similarly delightful surprise. It’s a film that’s amused with itself, but thanks to a screwball screenplay by Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick (“Zombieland”) and a charmingly snarky lead turn by Ryan Reynolds, that amusement is both thoroughly earned and completely contagious.

It’s suffused with an arch, self-aware wit - its titular hero violates the fourth wall more than Groucho Marx, Bugs Bunny and Ambush Bug put together - yet it takes its romance and revenge storylines just seriously enough to keep us engaged.

“Deadpool” is one of those movies that’s all the more successful for how easily it could have gone so very wrong.
