From Comics to Screen…to
Screen (1h 20m, HD)
This is a very comprehensive documentary about the making of
Deadpool. It covers everything from the screw up that was X-Men Origins:
Wolverine to the test footage that was made to convince Fox to make the film
and the subsequent leaking of said footage to the internet. We also get to see how the effects were done,
how much of the film is CG, and how they made the mask (I thought that the mask
was partially to mostly CG, but it is an actual mask). This is really good
making of that should be a blast for fans of the film.
Commentary with Ryan
Reynolds and writers Rhett Reese & Paul Wenick
Commentary talks about the making of the film, but it also
steers into clearing rights and which joke to use. I liked this track but it
wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be. In fact, there are some dead spots
throughout that I never expected. I thought that the commentary track had been
turned off.
Commentary with
Director Tim Miller and Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefield
A more technical track, but a better listen to than the
first track. Miller and Liefeld talk about everything. There is some
crossover from the making of, but we get
a bit more about the character of Deadpool.

Every video and trailer made for Deadpool in the year
leading up to the release is here. Most of these were part of the viral
campaign, but they are all pretty good.
Disc #2: DVD
The DVD gets the same Gag Reel and Deadpool’s Fun Sack that
the blu-ray has.
Packaging: I am
reviewing the Target Exclusive release of Deadpool so some of the packaging
will not apply to the general release version.

The cover for the case is the same, both front and back, as
the slip sleeve. The case, in this case, is red to match Deadpool himself. The
general release version gets the normal blue case. This case, however, is a
dreaded eco case. I hate those so much, but the red looks nice.
Inside you will find the blu-ray on one side and the dvd on
the other. There is also a slip of paper inside. One side contains the Ultraviolet
digital copy code and the other side contains detailed instructions on how to
check yourself for testicular cancer. A nice little thing to include that is
funny and informative.
Also inside this release are eight postcards featuring some
of the places Deadpool claims he has been, including Jacksonville.

Overall: I was really surprised by this release. Most of the time we get a standard release that has a few deleted scenes and, maybe, a commentary. This release, however, is loaded. The deleted scenes are actually worth watching, which they usually aren’t. (and before anyone says “They’re supposed to be bad. That’s why they were deleted. I know, but sometimes the good scenes are deleted.), the making of is long and informative, and the commentary tracks are worth a listen, even if they aren’t the best. Also, the theatrical trailers on here. Most studios leave those off, even if they are the easiest to include, it has been some time since I have seen the trailers included on a recent release.
Fox really let the filmmakers have the whole disc to work
with. They have given us just about everything that they could have. This is
the type of set that you purchase Day One. The Target Exclusive is nice, but it
not a necessity.
