Deadpool movie finally gets a release date

[Amaranthus]

He can't handle the truth!!!

I just don't think it's fair for Lee to get all the credit.
Shred Head's argument that no-one cares about Leifeld doesn't mean Lee should get a cameo.
How about no cameo at all then?
Jesus Christ, man, people are sheep sometimes.

In all seriousness, though, he's right. Lee is the face of Marvel, non-relationship with Deadpool notwithstanding.

[ToTheNines]

I fail to see how giving him a very brief cameo is "giving him all the credit"... or any credit for that matter. It's just a running gag among modern comic book movies, get over it.

Now when he shows up in Batman V Superman, then you can bitch lol.

Stan Lee is playing Commissioner Gordon. It's gonna be great.

[ZariusTwo]

If anything, given the nature of his cameo, I look at it as a reference to his work on Striperella. Fits the r-rated tone of the movie.

Ok, that and seeing Bruce punch Clark. I always love when they go at it just because I love seeing the look on his face when anyone manages to do actual damage.

I didn't find it all that funny compared to the last one...aside from maybe him trying to get into the front seat of the Taxi. Liked the "go get her Tiger" line too, a small nod to Spider-Man.

A good thing his girlfriend is a badass too.

Lets hope it paves the way for more R-rated Superhero movies.

"I pity the dude who pressures her into prom sex!" :lol:

[THGhost]

It's good to see some alternate lines of dialogue. Maybe we'll hear completely different ones again in the actual movie.

Same.
I'm also hoping for a whole mess of 4th Wall Breakage.

[shuriken]

Pretty neat. Totally wanna watch this now...

[Leo656]

Lets hope it paves the way for more R-rated Superhero movies.

Seeing as how every single time someone makes an R-rated super-hero movie, the world overwhelmingly declares, "This stuff is supposed to be for kids, how dare you" and then the movie tanks... I have a feeling that's not gonna happen. Call it a hunch.

This looks neat but it's very, very niche. Let's see if it does well enough to warrant a sequel, first, before we start expecting/hoping for it to be a game-changer.

I don't mean superhero movies that are supposed to be for kids being rated R, I meant superhero movies based on characters who are supposed to be for adults being released and rated R. There's a difference.

EDIT: Wasn't a sequel already greenlit, or am I imagining that? :P

Well, "Punisher: War Zone" is concrete proof that God exists and loves us all, but it did horribly and most people have never seen it.

People always say they want certain things but they don't always actually go out and support those things once they happen, is my point.

[THGhost]

I get it. I really need to get round to seeing Punisher: War Zone, I've seen the others.

[Leo656]

Here's a bunch of reasons why you should knock off whatever you're doing currently and go watch it right now:

Number 50 is my favorite. :lol: "God DAMN IT Castle!" :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin:

I'unno how that movie didn't sweep the Oscars. Me and the other 8 people in the theater opening night had a blast.

I hope no-one posted this yet.

The movie will apparently be 106 mins long, according to the Spanish 20th Century Fox website (http://www.fox.es/deadpool).

To quote one of the comments from that article - What kind of eejit wears one of those and then undoes it mid-heist?

[THGhost]

The MPAA has officially given "Deadpool" an R rating - http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/647041-deadpool-has-officially-been-rated

"Strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity." Sounds like Deadpool. :tcool:

Trying not to start a war here, but... I just never understood the appeal of Deadpool. He's kind of a one trick pony if you ask me. Granted, I've never read anything of his, so I guess thats completely ignorant. But based on everything I've seen... I have a feeling this movie may just expose Deadpool for just that.

My worthless two cents :P

There's sort of an OT TMNT thing going on with Deadpool. There's so much more to the turtles than pizza eating party dudes, but that's how they market them to the lowest comomon denominator. Same thing with DP; there may be goofy elements but it hardly defines the series/character, they just use that to get the low hanging fruit to invest. Though I don't know if much of the deep/tragic stuff will be in this movie, you'd have to check out the comics to get the full idea, I figure.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

DP has gone through probably more backstory changes than the Joker. Even HE doesn't know his own true story anymore, but it hardly matters, since he basically ignores it now anyway. The most "interesting" thing about him is that unlike nearly every other Marvel hero, he KNOWS that he is just a fictional character, thanks to a reveal from Loki some years back. This is PART of the reason for his fourth-wall breaking- he really IS talking to the audience! But he's much more than that, he's also a mercenary who is VERY good at what he does, in spite of his tenuous grasp on sanity. (Also a by-product of his knowledge of his status as a comic character.)

He's been both a good guy and a bad guy, has worked with the X-Men, formed his own team, and has even had a side-kick! (Agent Bob, formerly of Hydra. There's a funny story about how they ended up together, the short version of which is that DP captured a random Hydra agent, and attempted to ransom him back to them, only to be told "keep him". Bob then eventually joined DP's new investigation agency.)

[THGhost]

Okay, this is an odd one...

Rob Liefeld (co-creator of Deadpool) chose his number 1 actor to play Cable. John Hamm.

This.

I don't know if much of the deep/tragic stuff will be in this movie

Judging by the trailer, the romance between Wade and Vanessa will most likely be there. How deep it will go remains to be seen.

It seems like they're largely pulling from the Joe Kelly run for the movie, and I really hope that's the case. There's a habit to lean way too hard on the fourth-wall-breaking self aware humour and the LOL RANDOM in recent years, but I always loved how the fun and funny stuff would be offset with some serious, tragic melancholy and some legitimate twistedness in the character. There's a balance there that not everyone gets. Being funny and sympathetic is built into the character, but he can also be a truly horrible monster. I just hope the movie doesn't dull his edges too much to make him more "likeable".

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Judging from the body count in the trailer, I'd say we're safe on that one. I love how he just sort of shrugs it off. "That guy? He was up there when I got here!" And that one-bullet-three-kills moment was pure Deadpool. Reminds me of the Assassin Monkey issue....

That just made me laugh WAY more than it should have!! :tlol:

[Krutch]

That's fair. I always am quick to admit probably not knowing enough about the character for a fair judgement. I guess my hangup on the character is that if he's aware he's fictional, doesn't that just kind of... y'know... take the stakes out of everything? Like, good for jokes, I guess. But as far as drama goes I feel like it's impossible once the protagonist realizes nothing is real.

In Pleasantville, for example, the characters get sucked into a fake world. Fake characters, fake universe. But they know that they're real, and everything they feel is real. That's the emotional pull. It'd be a whole different movie if Skip Martin realizes he's being played by Paul Walker in a movie starring Tobey Maguire. All emotional investment is kind of removed at that point.

If I'm to understand correctly, Deadpool is constantly aware of what medium he's in (be it comics, movies, video games) and that he himself is fictional. That everything he's seeing, doing, and feeling is completely being made by whichever artist/actor/player is controlling him. And he confirms this belief to us, the audience, when he's correct on the matter at hand.

So I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head(well, my heart, I suppose) around any drama that can come from a character who is aware that nothing about his entire existence is real. And not in an extistentialist kind of way. Like, proof positive fictional character.

Which is why I feel like this character can be great as a side character and used to great effect as comedic relief, but little else. When he's the main character I just don't see how it holds up. But again... I've never read anything, so what do I know :lol:

I'm probably just overthinking this.

[Powder]

You're on a TMNT forum, they broke the fourth wall all the time! :tlol: Definitely overthinking it, bud.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

The thing with Deadpool is that even though he knows that, he still goes through everything as if it was real, still thinks for himself(the inner conversations he has, which often deal with his own existential questions) and still acts as if his existance is meaningful or important in some way. Almost as if realizing that he is the "star/hero" of the story gives him confidence that he can pull through whatever he's dealing with.

[JakeSully]

Looks like goofy gory gruesome dark comedy fun here.

This could be the R-rated version of Guardians of the Galaxy with similar humor only darker/cruder, similar retro soundtrack and tone while Apocalypse will be like Captain America 2 in terms of tone of being a more serious minded action adventure.

See, I like the idea... but again, once you're aware you're a fictional character, doesn't that just kind of defeat the whole point? Can he even ponder if his existence is meaningful while knowing that pondering if his existence is meaningful is only happening because a writer is writing him to think that way?

Can someone recommend me a tradeback to read? Maybe I'll see it in a new light.

See, you're finally starting to "get" it! It's part of the paradox of his character that he questions the nature of his reality, all the while knowing exactly what that reality is. He can't help himself. It's seriously driving him insane, not that he has far to go when the Weapon X program messed with his head while doing the experiments that gave him his powers. But knowing that everything around him is the product of a writer's imagination also frees him to simply do what he does without worrying about consequences. It'll all get swept under the rug anyway. He's fun BECAUSE he has no filter and no concern for the future or for what will happen to him. It makes him pretty much fearless.

In this case, thank goodness they don't. If your 8-year-old is into Deadpool, you're a bad parent.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Either that, or the kid has no idea who Deadpool really IS, and just thinks he like Spider-Man "because he's funny". And the parent is also clueless....

[THGhost]

Either that, or the kid has no idea who Deadpool really IS, and just thinks he like Spider-Man "because he's funny". And the parent is also clueless....

Clueless either way.

[JakeSully]

Parents should do research.

I grew up watching R-rated action films like Commando (saw that in theaters at age 4), Die Hard movies (saw them all in theaters), Lethal Weapon movies, Predator, Total Recall, T2 etc. all in theaters when i was a kid and teenager and had no problems.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I think the problem here is that because it's a superhero flick, parents will think it's "safe". Won't they be surprised when it's nothing like they expect?! Though if you can't figure that out by the trailer, there's something wrong with you. Three kills with one bullet? Yeah, that's pretty violent, and the close-up of his butt is just- parents really SHOULD know what to expect going into this, even if the kiddies don't.

[Leo656]

I heard there's mad titties in this flick, too, so there's also that. Whoo! :tgrin: Can't wait to see random adults yanking their kids out of their seats by the scruff of the neck about 5 minutes into it. :lol: Gonna be "Watchmen" all over again, probably.

Yeah, I don't get why some people automatically think "appropriate for kids" when they see something super-hero related. Not everything has to have a "safe" version for nose-pickers, damn.

[Krutch]

See, you're finally starting to "get" it! It's part of the paradox of his character that he questions the nature of his reality, all the while knowing exactly what that reality is.

But my hang up is that he's a contradiction. A fictional character can't know he's fictional, because he's fictional! It'd be one thing for him to think he's inside a comic book... it's completely another to know you are.

[Leo656]

Do you read a lot of Grant Morrison? If not I understand. Just wondering.

[sdp]

I also don't understand the appeal of Deadpool, to me it's just a character that panders to whatever the internet wants sort of like Family Guy. But I guess that's why he's popular. I did like the second Deadpool trailer and yeah there's good Deadpool content but they try way too hard.


I kind of understand why parents would think all superhero movies should be "safe", isn't this the same problems comics had in the 80s/90s? Of course "adult" comics or in this case comic movies are really just movies that are not aimed at kids who aren't 13 yet.

Not all comics are for kids SDP, what about Heavy Metal Magazine, Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Killing Joke, Batman Year One, The Swamp Thing, Road to Perdition, Sin City, 300, Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo, Ghost in the Shell by Masamune Shiro, Preacher, Alan Moore's stuff especially V For Vendetta etc.? aimed at mature readers.

And do you think it's the same as some think animation is for kids. What about things like South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut, Heavy Metal, Wizards, Watership Down, Felidae, Plague Dogs, Fantastic Planet, Fire and Ice, American Pop, Ninja Scroll, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Dark Knight Returns, Wicked City, Golgo 13 The Professional, Batman Under the Red Hood, Fritz the Cat, Princess Mononoke etc.? adult animation you know.

[sdp]

I didn't say I thought all comics are for kids, I said I understood why parents would think superhero movies are for kids. Comics can be many things but superheroes are more easily thought of as something for kids even now, I mentioned how this was the same problem comics had in the 80s/90s when they became more "mature" and many didn't like that. Also I meant that by "adult" comics they're not for people who are 18+, any person who is older than 12 should be mature enough to understand most of those examples you listed, so they're not really "adult", just not for kids.

And would you let kids watch those animated movies i mentioned?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

But my hang up is that he's a contradiction. A fictional character can't know he's fictional, because he's fictional! It'd be one thing for him to think he's inside a comic book... it's completely another to know you are.


But that's the POINT! He's the voice of reality, the omniscient narrator as it were, of his own story. Ever play the XBox game The Bard's Tale? He holds conversations with his narrator too. It's a paradox that they are self-aware of their situation being a fictional story- and that's entirely by design. Deadpool is SUPPPOSED to question the writer or talk to the audience, to remind them that it's all just entertainment and to make them think about the nature of reality. He's existential philosophy personified.


I also don't understand the appeal of Deadpool, to me it's just a character that panders to whatever the internet wants sort of like Family Guy. But I guess that's why he's popular. I did like the second Deadpool trailer and yeah there's good Deadpool content but they try way too hard.

I kind of understand why parents would think all superhero movies should be "safe", isn't this the same problems comics had in the 80s/90s? Of course "adult" comics or in this case comic movies are really just movies that are not aimed at kids who aren't 13 yet.


Hmm, from the sound of it, you guys REALLY don't know Deadpool. He's never pandered to ANYONE unless as the ultimate macho fantasy of a man with literally nothing to lose or fear, and thus no filter or moral qualms. He's kind of like Bruce Willis in Die Hard, but without any of the moral restraints. He hasn't always been the good guy, after all. He's known as "the merc with the mouth" for a REASON. He IS a mercenary by nature, he just happens to mostly fall on the side of good by happenstance.

Oddly enough though, he DOES want to be a better person, to stand beside heroes like Steve Rogers or Peter Parker as an equal. And like Wolverine, he's VERY rough around the edges, but basically has his heart in the right place. He just speaks his mind in ways the others don't. He's not afraid to kill whoever he has to to get the job done, so he's sometimes seen as a menace. It's just that he has NO problems with committing "murder" in the course of helping those in trouble.

This is exactly why the comic ratings system was created.....

[Amaranthus]

So, I'm pretty nervous about seeing Deadpool in theatres. (It'll be 16+ probably. That's the maximum rating here. But I'm nervous about the trailers being shown beforehand because I'm a pussy.
16+ basically means there's a possibility they'll show horror trailers before Deadpool. I'm fine with graphic violence and stuff. I just can't handle horror and jumpscares.
Can anyone give me some advice? I really hope I'm not derailing this thread too much, but since we're talking about ratings I thought I'd give it a shot.

I hate horror, too. Just close your eyes or make out with your date. People get super uncomfortable if you're making out while Scream 72's trailer is playing with lots of terrified screams and demonic groans.

I was planning on mailing the theatre about it. They're really fast when you ask them a question. If there's no horror trailers I won't have to worry.
It'd make more sense for horror trailers just to be shown before horror movies. But that's not how it works, sadly.

Nope. It'd be nice if that WAS how it worked, but it's not. But hey, the sounds aren't usually too horrorific and closing your eyes is easy. If it's a HUGE deal, take headphones and an MP3 player to block it out.

[Krutch]

Do you read a lot of Grant Morrison? If not I understand. Just wondering.

Nope. 9/10 times his work doesn't resonate with me. I like a lot of the broad strokes of his stories but it always fails to connect on an emotional level.

Even All-Star Superman was pretty ho-hum to me. Aside from that one page where the girl contemplates suicide. "You're stronger than you think you are." Great stuff there. But as a whole, his work feels like a chore to sit through. The Filth was once of the most defining examples of wasted time and money in my life. What an awful book.

I honestly didn't think so. :trazz: Based on everything else you mentioned regarding your personal tastes in comics and characters, I just had a feeling you weren't a Morrison guy. :lol:

As a huge Superman fan I'm actually with you on All-Star. It definitely deserves praise, but it's overrated pretty damn hard. Grant leans WAY too hard on the Silver Age throttle for me, both in general and with Superman specifically. It's like, Crisis and Byrne's 1986 revamp "fixed" Superman by making all the corny, silly, goofy stuff go away, and whenever Grant writes him he does everything he can to try and cram all that dumb sh*t back in, like he's some kind of anti-evolutionist. The way he writes the character of Superman is always very strong, and All-Star had some GREAT character moments (although I will never, EVER be a fan of the "Bumbling Clark Disguise" again, after 25 years of being presented a more forceful, confident ace reporter rather than a goddamn clown). It's just that, for me, all that goofy Silver Age nonsense surrounding the character dragged that story down. Like Jimmy Olsen getting injected with the "Doomsday Virus", and all that Bizarro stuff. Less of that, more stuff like the girl on the ledge.

I give it a solid B. It's good but it's far from the "Best Superman Story Ever" like people like to say it is. I've talked to enough people about it to know for a fact that if you press them, most people who say such things will admit they've only read, at most, 3 or 4 Superman stories, and they mostly like the book because it reminds them of Chris Reeve. Which is fine. But the actual story has huge chunks of insipid nonsense taking up way too much room, and people would be more open to call bullsh*t on it if they knew better, or if anyone else wrote the thing.

And who the hell doesn't like horror movies. F*cking hell.

I'd have thought that a fan of robotic "monsters" in sci-fi would appreciate the true icons of horror as well.

Nah, not really. Although Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein... love that movie. But no, except for Doctor Who and my own writing, not a fan of monsters.

I've sort of wanted to watch Supernatural, but haven't started that yet. 11 seasons to marathon? Hell no... I've got too many shows on my list already, AND my spare time for writing is already a rare commodity.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Supernatural is pretty good it early seasons, but I lost track and haven't watched it for the last few. I actually like Grimm better. It seems to deal more fairly with the "monsters" themselves, in showing that theyvhave lives of their own and most are not really evil.

Supernatural is still pretty good right now. I love Grimm too, probably more for the same reason you stated.

[Krutch]

Leo: Yeah man. I'm with you 100 percent on basically everything you said. Like, did we really need to spend an entire issue(or two!?) in Bizarro World? Too much nonsense. But I'm wondering what the connection is here from Morrison to Deadpool? :P

I've sort of wanted to watch Supernatural, but haven't started that yet. 11 seasons to marathon? Hell no...

Great thing about Supernatural is you can just watch the first 5 seasons. It's really a self contained, well structured 5 story arc that ends on a satisfying note(well, if you ignore the last shoe-horned in 6 seconds... which you can actually leave up to interpretation.)

I'd actually argue this season is the strongest its been since those first 5 glorious seasons but thats not saying much. The writing simply hasn't been as strong since the creator left.

[Leo656]

The connection is that Grant Morrison often writes characters who break the fourth wall and are aware they are participating in an ongoing work of illustrated fiction, most famously during his run on Animal Man but he does it elsewhere, too. In that book one of his biggest "meta" moments was writing himself into the story and explaining to Animal Man that he was indeed just a fictional character being bent to the whims of his "Creator". Then there's all the stuff he put in Final Crisis, like the entire thing literally ending with a huge deus ex machina (Superman literally wishing for the story to have a Happy Ending, on a machine that manufactures miracles... only Morrison, folks!), and one of the Monitors explaining well in advance of the ending that of course Superman is absolutely going to save the day because his entire function as a fictional character is to be an unstoppable force for good who always wins no matter what. As well as several of the characters in "Limbo" during Final Crisis openly referencing the fact that they're all make-believe, only in Limbo because nobody had any good stories left to tell with them. And on and on.

So that's the connection. Based on your opinion of the character Deadpool, I just took a shot in the dark and assumed you were not a fan of the writings of Grant Morrison, either, since he leans heavy on the "meta-fictional" and fourth wall-breaking stuff as well. And I just wanted to know if I was correct. :)

He's not the movie's director, he's the character's co-creator. But... wow, I agree with Rob Liefeld. :lol:

I mean, I get that some parents want their kids to have everything they like. But some things just aren't for everybody, and shouldn't be, and that's fine.

It's like asking for a PG-13 cut of a Nightmare on Elm Street movie because your 8-year-old child wants to see it. That character and their world are intended to be violent and crass and specifically not for kids. Instead of demanding that everything change to suit your child's wishes, maybe use this as an opportunity to teach your kids that the world doesn't exist to suit their every desire, and some things you have to be patient for. The movie will still exist when he's older. In the meantime, there are a whole dang bunch of kid-appropriate comic movies coming out every year, so it's not like he's at a loss for options.

I just hope that there's enough of a market in North America to support more diverse comic-movie releases.

Wow that's surprising, I thought it be an 18 as the BBFC are quite strict (not as strict as they were in the 70s/80s when they banned a few horror movies). Maybe Fox bribed them or something :lol:

They better not tone it down, I'll be pissed off if they do that.

They did put 'this work was passed uncut' so hopefully they haven't cut anything out.

http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/deadpool-film

Has there been a over 18 Marvel movie though, I can't remember.

I expect if it was rated 18, it would probably kill it, Fox would want this movie to make a lot of money. Under 18s would be complaining they can't see it, remember when the 1st Spiderman movie was rated 12 and a lot of parents with under 12 year old children complained so the BBFC added the new 12A rating.

[joefsas]

It was strange reading through the comments for the trailer on Facebook, all these people saying that they wont be able to go see it because they're underage etc. Made me fell kinda smug, I'm 27 :lol:

I really hope they haven't cut anything out because of this. That would be a real shame.

They made such a big deal about the fact this was gunna be R-rated. I guess for the US it still will be :-?

[Mayhem]

Which is curious given one of the trailers WAS rated 18 :ohwell:

But yes, I really hope that this IS the same version that the US is getting, and the BBFC are just being a little more lenient. To give them credit, they don't tend to rate a film so strongly on bad language compared to the US ratings board.

No, R is essentially PG-17, under 17s can be present together with an adult. NC-17 is No Children under 17, so you have to be 17 or over to be in there full stop.

The way it works is Junkie XL, Harry Gregson-Williams, Lorne Balfe, and just about any other modern big-name film composer you can think of work for Hans Zimmer at Remote Control Production studios. They collaborate on each others projects... so, for example, while I believe Hans Zimmer received sole credit for the Dark Knight trilogy, he worked extensively with James Newton Howard, Lorne Balfe, plus some additional music was done by Mel Wesson, Henry Jackman, and I can't even remember who else.

So part of the reason why Junkie XL is involved with BvS is because he works under the RCP umbrella, and he gets that opportunity. Mad Max he actually did solely by himself, which is why I think he got the Deadpool gig. He did a cue or two for Man of Steel too, but you never knew that, did you? That's because there's so much ghostwriting involved with any film where an RCP composer is credited.

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

Ugh, my excitement for the movie took a nose dive after finding out the following:
-Vanessa ***** deadpool with a strap on and deadpool takes it (well the strap on action is implied because vanessa is shown adjusting her strap on)
-Deadpool threatens to rape a guy
-Angel Dust, colossus and negasonic teenage warhead are under used
-The movie relies on humor a lot (I'm not a fan of excessive comedy in movies that aren't supposed to mainly be comedic)
-Deadpool talks about touching wolverine's dick
-Deadpool masturbates to toy unicorns

If there is one thing I have always hated about deadpool ever since I learned about him it's his pansexual side, I'm for different characters but that is one thing that I don't want characters that I like quite a bit to be. I'm okay with a comic book character being that as long as I don't care about them, it's really bad when the positive reviews are suggesting that the only really good character in deadpool is deadpool himself, just because people want to see him doesn't mean it's okay for the other characters in the movie to be weak and forgettable.

Which is odd, because when Star Wars came out there was a poster of another movie.

Good to see the movie itself is living up to the marketing hype. I'm really curious to see how this does at the box office with the R rating.

wooow, okay then.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--dCwXqSVT4o/VMct1xNp9yI/AAAAAAAAAMA/HTKX8TIasaM/s1600/Deadpool%2BFacepalm.png

I'm a fan of deadpool, if I wasn't then his sexual orientation wouldn't be something that I care about and wouldn't have followed the movie pre-release or wouldn't have deemed it a must see. As a fan of comic book characters I have to draw the line some where, some where. Moving on just a little bit it's like they put very little effort into crafting a great movie given the fact that the constant praise has been about the humor aspect of the movie, ryan reynold's as deadpool a side. I'm saying this based on the reviews that have been floating around. Pre-release, I had a bad feeling that ajax would be very vanilla and that angel dust, colossus, and negasonic teenage warhead would be under used. As for the humor in the movie, well my problem isn't that it's not entirely clean. I was never hoping that the movie had nothing but humor that is all clean.

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

Yeah, all reviews have been good so far. I'm getting pretty excited.

Sure, it's totally about your lack of taste in comic books and not about the username itself.

Screencrush are pretty critical of it

http://screencrush.com/deadpool-review/

Most comic book movies are meant to appeal to 12-year-olds. Deadpool is the first one feel like it was actually written by one. Gleefully puerile and deeply immature, it has tons of what the MPAA calls “adult content,” but no actual content for adults. It’s a non-stop parade of dick jokes (and ball jokes), bloody violence, and breaking the fourth wall. In other words, it will be the favorite movie of 2016 of every underage boy who sneaks into it next weekend. Others need not apply.

[TigerClaw]

Screencrush are pretty critical of it

http://screencrush.com/deadpool-review/
Seems like they don't get the humor of Deadpool, so it sounds like a good movie.

[Leo656]

Yeah, it honestly sounds like exactly the movie everyone expected it to be. Is it "criticism" if the movie itself functions exactly as it was designed to, but the person receiving it simply doesn't care for it? Sounds more like "Good job doing what you're supposed to do".

[ZariusTwo]

Digitalspy is much kinder and shares your exact sentiments

Deadpool does an impressive job of bringing its insane and loveable anti-hero to life, with energy and a level of detail that marks it apart. It's not for everyone, of course, but what did you expect? For fans of the Merc with the Mouth, Deadpool is everything we could ask it to be.

Nice to see this thread gaining some traction again!

Booked my tickets for Wednesday. Completely pumped!

The reviews are starting to appear and they are all good so far.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/deadpool/

100% fresh so far but still could change.

Came here to say the exact same thing. Although it's now dropped to 96%. Oh well, twas inevitable.

So why do you even care if you don't like Deadpool?

*Whispers* We don't. :P

[TigerClaw]

It now has 96% due to 1 rotten review, Here's what that review says about it.
http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/review-deadpool-starring-ryan-reynolds-tj-miller-morena-baccarin-ed-skrein-and-gina-carano-20160206
Deadpool only reinforces the genre expectations of the superhero movie, hoping that a string of winks to the camera, and the occasional flash of nudity will distract from what is ultimately, a very by-the-book story.

I read a review that mentioned this was the perfect movie for 15 year olds and 20/30 year old internet nerds who still think sexual humor is edgy and like extreme violence. And it's pretty much what I expected, I think it'll be amusing and people will like it because it's a fresh breath from the normal Marvel formula but I fear this movie will be praised like a great movie when it really isn't.

[Leo656]

Well, yeah, it's already being completely over-sold by the entire internet, for weeks now. Should still be pretty good.

One review summed it up by saying it's literally only two scenes of "plot" linked together with flashbacks and excessive vulgarity, but that's all it needs to be so it's fine.

Sounds pretty amusing on the whole, but yeah, the inevitable "BEST movie EVAR!" stuff for the first two days is going to be brutal.

[CyberCubed]

Sounds like a movie I wouldn't mind seeing for free somewhere down the line but I won't see this one in theaters.

[Leo656]

Any reason?

To me it actually feels like a movie like Kick-Ass, where without a whole big room full of people laughing along with you, you lose a lot of the experience. If anything I'd rather see this in theaters, I doubt it's going to be anywhere near as fun watching it in a vacuum.

[THGhost]

I saw Kick-Ass 2 in theatres, and people weren't laughing. :P

[Leo656]

The people in the theater I saw it in liked it, but it definitely was kind of a "This isn't as good as the first one, is it?" kind of vibe. They wanted to like it, it just underwhelmed. That whole "Now we're gonna be SERIOUS" shift in tone partway through was bizarre given how unapologetically over-the-top the rest of it was, and the last few minutes seemed like they were setting up a sequel that the audience kind of didn't want anymore by that point. And there is no goddamn way Red Mist or whatever survived that goddamn shark tank.

I kinda feel like this movie, like Kick-Ass, is the kind of joke you can get away with telling exactly once, and it kills, but after that the novelty wears off. One review of Deadpool says he thinks people will like it but doesn't see it as a franchise and I kind of have to agree. It's exactly the kind of thing you need once in a while to cleanse your palate, not all the time or even consistently.

[drgon78]

I thought Kick Ass 2 was almost as good as the first, not as well done fights, but more character development and funny parts.

Indeed I had seen it!

I absolutely love how this movie embraces its bizzare-ness. :tlove:

Very action packed, love seeing Deadpool in action. The violence and gore is amazing to behold. No bars hold, just amped up to the max.

Jokes are over the top (some are vulgar :lol:), tonnes of other movies references (X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie [cause Ryan was literally also in it as Deadpool the first time], Professor X's McAvoy/Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Liam Neesan's Taken movie, etc). I like the little funny moments like Deadpool doodling/coloring a childish sketch whilst waiting for an enemy truck, chatting with the cab driver, argument with the blind granny at his house and so much more.

And I love that Deadpool embraces his pansexual nature.

I gotta say, the costume designer who made Deadpool's outfit.... bravo. I mean everytime he's in full suit, you can't take your eyes off him. Maybe because of that specific shade of red color? The intricate detail of it? I dunno, it just looks so good.

Downside is... well, Ryan Reynolds is a pretty good looking guy and it kills me to see him in ugly scarred face makeup. :lol: Ah well.




Oh and be sure to stay after the credits. Just like most Marvel movies, there's an extra scene special for you. :D

Well now I've seen the movie, I can catch up on the trailers/TV spots. More Deadpool is always good tbh.

[TigerClaw]

the movie has an 84% on rotten tomatoes now, 36 fresh 7 rotten.

[Amaranthus]

It's still at 12.
Cinema hasn't responded to my e-mail yet and I'm going tomorrow.
I'm nervous now.

You're over 12 right (are you?!), so what's the problem?

I just think it's weird for Deadpool to be listed as 12.
I was afraid they edited the movie, but Iv'e thought about it and it seems unlikely.
It's listed as 16 in another Belgian theatre, so I guess they just messed up.

[Amaranthus]

Well, 12 is the official rating and they didn't edit the movie.
I'm amazed.

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

Sharkblade, how long is the origin and flashbacks? Is deadpool's pansexual side totally played for laughs?

82% on RT now. One critic says that is "about as funny and charming as tearing a toenail". Clearly not a fan then. :lol:

[THGhost]

Back up to 82%. Off to see it in about 30 mins. :tcool:

EDIT: 80% now.

Seen it, my thoughts:

Ho-ly ****, this is the perfect Deadpool movie. Like Shark_Blade said, the violence and gore is amazing, filled with f-bombs and homophobic insults aimed directly at Colossus - who is extremely well done. He finally feels like Colossus.

The plot is simple, yes, but does that really matter? It's still a good origin story, it's funny as hell and the fight sequences are gleefully violent and OTT. Deadpool in a nutshell.
A few jabs at Origins and Green Lantern, as well as a few nods to Hugh Jackman and probably Stan Lee's favourite cameo. :P

A couple of lines from the trailers were re-shot, and at least two of them were missing (Al: "Sounds like you've got a dick in your mouth" and Weasel: "Mother****er, you are hard to look at"), which is a shame. I hate when that happens.
Also Weasel wasn't all that funny, unfortunately. All of his funny lines were in the trailers.

[Mayhem]

That was an early showing then! Will be seeing it later tonight...

[Amaranthus]

Movie was amazeballs. They did actually show a horror trailer with a jumpscare before it but it was so predictable I didn't sht myself.
There was a guy dressed as Deadpool in the theatre. I made a heart symbol to him and he came to me and hugged me.
I then yelled "I love you!" and he did the same to me.
He left after I told him about my raging boner.
This actually happened. I'm not kidding.

[ZariusTwo]

Just got back from it.

Very good. There was real sincerity to it and lots of likeable characters, the humour, while crude, didn't come off AS crude, everything felt like banter a pal of yours would say to you, or that one wise-ass in a crowd of freinds who always has to have the last word even when he's in trouble. It's got a lot of relatable moments, and best of all, it has quiet, dignified moments, like When Wade and the blind lady are assembling a cabinet...and you feel for Wade when he is put in the chamber and scarred horrifically, he tears up when Francis/Ajax tells him his further torment is more for Ajax's own satisfaction for putting him with his mouth.

Voltron got a lot of free promotion too, referenced a few times more than some of the other things

And yeah, Colossus...steps right off the page, does'nt ever turn human, and I love that Angel Dust is able to do what breaks Wade's hand....and gets to take out by going downstairs. You do have to feel sorry for the X-Men's "big brother in residence", he maintains his wholsomeness and tries to be a good moral compass for Negasonic (who keeps to herself a lot, but when she matters, she sticks out), and he sort of still has hope for Wade even after he kills Ajax.

Loved the cut-out Reynalds mask hidden underneath the Deadpool mask.

Vanessa kicks some ass too, impaling Ajax in the sides, Deadpool winds up with a blade through the brain and starts seeing cartoon animals everywhere:D

If there's one criticism about the ending, it's that Vanessa did'nt try to outdo Wade with a "my life is shittier than yours" story after he told her where he'd been the last few years, a callback to the conversation when they first met

Go see it. For all the crassness and violence in the promotion, It's a very cosy and heartwarming film

Wasn't that a Hugh Jackman mask?

[THGhost]

Indeed, there are a lot of serious, heart-warming scenes that are all extremely well done. They never feel forced and never detract from the OTT violence that immediately follows them.

I can't believe this was the director's first movie. What an exceptional way to start directing movies.

It was called The Forest.

Didn't that come out already? And yeah, I hear it's bad.

To be fair, his life is still worse than hers. :P

Wasn't that a Hugh Jackman mask?

It was.

One of my absolute favourite moments was when Deadpool broke almost all of his limbs trying to punch/kick Colossus. Everyone in the cinema was howling with laughter! :lol:

Also, "Stewart or McAvoy? I can never keep track of these alternate timelines" and "You know it’s funny how I only see the two of you here. It’s like the studio couldn't afford any more X-Men." Those really made me laugh, especially the latter. Because I was actually thinking it before he said it xD

I get the feeling that the movie could have broken the 4th wall a little more. Maybe have Deadpool grab a boom mic and beat up a camera guy or something. That would have been awesome. :P Hopefully the sequel will do more stuff like that.

[Mayhem]

Just to add to what people have already posted here... yeah, go see this movie, have a blast, laugh your arse off, and let Ryan Reynolds do his thing as one of the best comic book character portrayals in a LONG time :D

Weasel and Blind Al could have been in it a bit more, but what's there is good, especially the Ikea building scene. Pity the "you sound like you have a dick in your mouth" line got cut :x

And I presume the post credits scene was filmed PRIOR to the announcement of the sequel? :P

As much as I think Weasel should have had more to do, Blind Al was great. As you said, the Ikea building scene was so good.

I only found out about the sequel being greenlit from the movie's post-credits scene. I then got back home and read about it online. So depending on where people see it, the movie will be the first place they learn about the sequel.

They didn't really specify what happened and what didn't. I mean, technically the entire timeline was changed going forward, but clearly a lot of stuff still turned out the same way. In theory, X-Men and X-Men 2 could have both happened for the most part, except I guess without Jean dying? (Then again, coming back from the dead is kind of her whole deal, so I choose to count everything except X-Men 3 and Wolverine Origins. ;))

To make matters more confusing there's the third Wolverine solo movie coming out, and that's apparently in the old continuity since its a sequel to The Wolverine.

I have a strong feeling that the "official" explanation is simply going to be: "If you liked (Title of X-Men Movie), then it counts. If you though it sucked, it doesn't count. Anything that doesn't add up? Time travel/space-time continuum, don't think too hard or it'll break the entire universe."

I mean that's really all they CAN say.

[CyberCubed]

Everything counts even if its no longer in the timeline, because it still happened before the history was altered.

Deadpool was cool in x men origins wolverine. He had knife hands.
That wasn't Deadpool. Not only did they take the piss out of that in one of the trailers, but there's an in-film joke to Wolverine via an action figure :lol:

X1, X2 and The Wolverine all definitely still happened. The only feeling of anything being erased that I got after watching DoFP (and The Wolverine) was that X1 and X2 will both play out the same way (with slight differences such as Wolverine being a teacher, Xavier remembering Wolverine travelling back in time, Cyclops not dying, etc), but the "new X3" will be different, i.e. Jean not dying. DoFP basically ended inside a scene from X1 :P

More genius marketing:

In Deadpool, was the shot of the Xavier school's sign taken from one of the older X-Men movies? Cos it looked like it was. The quality of the film looked different.

Deadpool threatens to rape a guy

When did that happen? I must've missed that! :lol:

Also I'm pretty damn sure I heard an Audi 5000 reference in there somewhere. Black Nerd Comedy is gonna love that. :lol:

Wow, Deadpool was awesome, I didn't want it to end.

I might go see it again, if i'm not busy.

[ZariusTwo]

Definitely seeing it again tomorrow.

Apparently roughly $7m had to be slashed from the budget at the last minute - http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-makers-of-deadpool-had-to-slash-7-million-from-the-1758147495

Things that were cut from the movie:

“Angel Dust, played by Gina Carano, used to be three different characters,” writer Rhett Reese explained. “It was Garrison Kane, Sluggo and Wire. There was a reduction of action. We had a motorcycle chase between Deadpool and Ajax on the freeway that we took out. We had a big, big gun fight in the third act that we took out and we basically had Deadpool forget his guns as a means of getting around it. So there were just reductions.”

Well that sucks. Conversely, given Deadpool appears to be already opening well, maybe they'll put more money back in the sequel :P

That wasn't Deadpool, that was a monstrosity that we do not talk about in a Deadpool thread. Or ever, with anyone. Ever.
