Deadpool

Deadpool was voted ‘37’ on IMBd however, was rated 8.1 out of 10, now that is above average which suggests it’s a popular film to watch on the other hand being ‘37’ on the charts and above 50 indicates how known the film is. There are 1,068 positive reviews and 585 negative reviews, this shows how liked and how successful the film is.

On the other hand, the movie could have been a success due to the actor ‘Ryan Reynolds’ as he is married to Blake Lively who is a very well-known actress, originally from a very efficacious show ‘gossip girl’. Viewers who were entertained by Blake would be a positive impact too Ryan Reynolds as the fan base followed Blake’s life which included Ryan. Being in the spot light with Blake indicates that the fan base expanded to Ryan which promotes the film well as a lot of people would hear of it.

Nevertheless, the costume which Ryan Reynolds wore did remind a lot of viewers of ‘Spiderman’ which caused debate, the film could have lost a large number of viewers by creating a similar character, however by saying that the film created a scenario which allowed viewers to become emotional as Ryan’s character had a severe cancer which caught the viewers in to connect with the film a lot deeper.

The box office sales since when the film released proved to be a staggering $363,070,709, this is known as a ‘lifetime gross’ (this measures how successful the film is) this instantly shows a wanting to watch or buy the film, which indicates how successful the film actually was, considering it was released in February when the block buster season starts in May and ends in September.

Referring to ‘www.cinemablend.com’ the movie seemed to pull fans in as a writer wrote ‘where fans can turn to hear well-crafted jokes about previous comic book films’ this suggested that the fans enjoyed the films humour which attracted more popularity which contributed to Deadpool’s success.

Ryan Reynolds played ‘Wade Wilson’ in Wolverine which was released in 2009 and was a very big success, this allowed Ryan to have a large fan base due to this film which followed him and supported him with the film ‘Deadpool’. By having that large fan base it made a lot of money and achievement for Deadpool. This also links with Morena Baccarin who played ‘Vanessa’ as she appeared as ‘Karen Walker’ in the very popular film of 2015 ‘Spy’, this allowed Morena to continue to have a fan base which also could have contributed to ‘Deadpool’ as Morena and Ryan are very known actors.

Overall a writer wrote on ‘www.cinemablend.com’ that ‘deadpool’s marketing campaign deserves much of the credit for getting people excited about the film’, this indicates that it wasn’t just the popularity of the film and the admiration of the actors it was also the hard work put in by the campaign team which promoted the film by ‘hilarious interviews’ and ‘irrelevant promo videos’ this indicates that the involvement of the campaign team had a massive impact on the ‘Deadpools’ success.
