Deadpool movie finally gets a release date

[Sumac]

If not my utter dislike to watch movies in the cinema, I definitely would've go to that one.

On the other hand, cancel that: I still would not go to the cinema for this one, because, it was dubbed by our glorious translators. So, now I will patiently wait for the legal means to watch it on the original language.

[Krutch]

Saw it last night.

Quick spoiler free review... meh. Seemed like the theatre was having a good time, and the two friends I came with loved it(they being huge Deadpool fans). I thought It was alright. I'll probably never watch it again, and will never think about it again after the hype dies down. Deadpool has never been my thing. I was hoping this movie would catch me by surprise, but instead I found myself actually pretty bored. 90 percent of the jokes didn't land with me, and if the jokes aren't funny, all you're left with is an incredibly by the numbers action flick.

All this is just taste, of course. It's not for me, but that's not to say theres anything wrong with the flick. Its a competent movie that plays it strangely safe given its subject hero, and if the humour works for you, then I'm sure you'll have a good time. If the humour doesn't work for you, I have a hard time seeing anyone say they also thought it was fresh and original.

"bob?"

:d

Bob? Does that mean AGENT Bob?! Oh please say yes!!!

[MikeandRaph87]

Would a superhero fan who only knows Deadpool from ItsSomeRandomGuy's Youtube series enjoy the movie? I am hoping it will be like Guardians of The Galaxy. At first I thought it was a nothing Marvel property that would stand in the way of the TMNT film's success, but I love that movie more than TMNT and Spider-Man, who are two of my three favorite heroes. I also enjoyed Reynolds performance in Green Lantern and think as an actor he does not get enough credit.

How is the X-Men character Colossus tied into the film? Is he an ally of Deadpool in the comics. I was curious as to why his presence and him of all the X-Men.

A sequel has already been prematurely confirmed. I hope it does not have to retract like it did with the lackluster Fantastic Four attempt.

>Implying humor is the movie's only strong point.

Basically, yeah.

What is there works: the action, the acting, the pacing... it's all fine. But it's just fine. The only thing holding everything together is the humour. The action scenes are nothing special. The acting isn't distracting. The story is stuff we've seen a billion times before, to almost a satirical degree.

So yeah, I'll stick to what I said. If the comedy works for you, the movie will work for you. If it doesn't, the movie, while functional, is a bit of a snore.

Just watched 2 girls 1 punch and how deadpool spent his Halloween. I need to see this movie.

Shame Dr. Killebrew wasn't in it.
Also a shame movie didn't have the balls to show Deadpool shooting that woman instead of strongly implying it.

Oh gawds YES! I LOVE RandomGuy's videos, but honestly even those don't do Deadpool justice. The only one that actually came close was Rorshach and Deadpool. If this movie has as much going for it as GotG did, as the trailers seem to indicate, it will be amazing. I feel like someone really did their homework on this. Probably Ryan himself, if the depth of his involvement in getting it made is true. Really hoping this does well.

Yes, Colossus is an ally of DP, as are all the X-Men on occasion. Especially Cable. I like the fact that they are not going with him though, since he would probably work best in a sequel. Would live to see Domino and the rest of Six Pack at some point.

Just got back from the theater...I've been waiting for this movie since I was a kid...Did not disappoint one second. Hilarious, action packed, hilarious etc... One theme I see from "negative" reviews is that they didn't get the humor or the story was "cookie cutter". Well I can't imagine sitting in a theater when nearly every joke lands, and everyone is laughing uproariously and I'm just sitting there stone faced...I'd be concerned there was something wrong with me...because this movie nailed almost every joke, and the ones that missed were missed because they came too fast after a previously funny joke. I am bored by the constant negative review of "this movie didn't reinvent the wheel"...get over yourself. This movie was done on a cheap budget and it barely shows, I'm anticipating X-Force and more Deadpool and maybe Cable movies to come...and I cannot wait!

[Krutch]

One theme I see from "negative" reviews is that they didn't get the humor or the story was "cookie cutter".

Umm... I don't think those who didn't like the humour necessarily didn't "get" the humour. The jokes in this movie aren't exactly deep stuff:

Actual dialogue spoken in the movie:

Deadpool: Oh, F***!
Colossus: Language! There are ladies present.
Deadpool: Suck a c***!

And it was "cookie cutter" because its the very definition of cookie cutter regardless of how well the editing tried to cut up the timeline with flashbacks.

Well I can't imagine sitting in a theater when nearly every joke lands, and everyone is laughing uproariously and I'm just sitting there stone faced...I'd be concerned there was something wrong with me...

Orrrr maybe it's the equivalent of being in a romantic movie where all the girls start crying and you're left going "...I guess this isn't for me."

...because this movie nailed almost every joke, and the ones that missed were missed because they came too fast after a previously funny joke.
They nailed every joke to you. And that's awesome :) I'm happy you liked it. I'm happy for anyone who likes it.

I am bored by the constant negative review of "this movie didn't reinvent the wheel"...get over yourself. This movie was done on a cheap budget and it barely shows.
I've never liked crawling behind the excuse of having a "small" budget(only sixty million?!!) when talking about crafting a good story when I've seen completely engaging indie movies that cost anywhere from five to fifty thousand to make. But that's besides the point.

Try to imagine this movie without the comedy and what are you left with? A movie that borrows every cliche from every action and every superhero origin movie. And if the humour wasn't working for you, thats all you can see. It's a movie that lives and dies on its humour.

Since when did following cliches suddenly hurt? They're part and parcel of the superhero formula, and in Deadpool's case, they handle the cliches adequately

Not saying they do hurt; cliches exist for a reason. But an entire script compiled of only cliches doesn't exactly make for a fresh movie. Especially when the whole spirit of the movie is shouting "Look at me! I'm different!".

[NinjaPug]

That was great. Perfect adaptation of the character.

I wish Fox would've given this a higher budget but I understand why they didn't. With them projecting $90 million for the weekend that shouldn't be an issue for the sequel.

Now I'm sad thinking about that episode. Thaaaaanks!

Oh boy...you took my criticism of most of the negative reviews I've read as a personal shot at you...I'm sorry you did that, but I'm not sorry for what I said. You said the jokes aren't "deep stuff" uh no crap. This is DEADPOOL. I'm afraid you were expecting too much. Also, humor doesn't have to be deep to be good or make someone laugh. That's a you problem if you can't laugh at silliness. The dialogue you quoted is hilarious and if that's too "simple" for you, I don't know what to say to you except...IT'S DEADPOOL!

You said just because you didn't like the humor doesn't mean you didn't get it...well if you can't see the humor in that dialogue you quoted, then you didn't get it.

And it was "cookie cutter" because its the very definition of cookie cutter regardless of how well the editing tried to cut up the timeline with flashbacks.


Why is this a problem? If it was like some of the stranger Deadpool stories, like him traveling through time assassinating zombie Presidents while the ghost of Ben Franklin is his guide, probably wouldn't make $90 million in the first weekend.

Orrrr maybe it's the equivalent of being in a romantic movie where all the girls start crying and you're left going "...I guess this isn't for me."

I get the comparison, but comedy is not the same as drama.

They nailed every joke to you. And that's awesome :) I'm happy you liked it. I'm happy for anyone who likes it.

Thanks! And I'm sad you didn't.

Well, $60 million for a Marvel Super Hero movie is VERY low budget. They had to cut a TON of things out of the movie, this info is being released now that the writers are doing press. Extra characters, extra scenes etc... They had to make this a simple story, so they chose love, because that's the simplest story there is, and even though this is a comic book movie and total crazy fantasy world, anyone can relate to love. So you want to say it's cookie cutter, but they took two real pieces of crap people, showed them in love, and made you CARE for them, to me that's not cookie cutter that's a damn good job.

Now you keep saying "without the humor" blah blah blah...well you can just take any movie, and they say "without ________" this movie is blah blah blah. You can't take the humor out of this movie because it IS this movie. That's like saying oh Dumb and Dumber is a cookie cutter road trip movie if you take the comedy out....well DUH...it's a friggin COMEDY! Deadpool is an action/comedy/comic book adaptation. He's funny in the comics, therefore he must be funny on the screen. To remove the comedy from Deadpool DOES make it a cookie cutter super hero movie, because it's just another super hero movie.

[Krutch]

Oh boy...you took my criticism of most of the negative reviews I've read as a personal shot at you...I'm sorry you did that, but I'm not sorry for what I said.
I didn't take it personally... I was just suggesting that you were incorrect in thinking that people who didn't like the movie must also not have understood the humour. People can understand the humour just fine; it just might not be their type of comedy. Some people don't like the Three Stooges because slapstick ain't their bag. It doesn't mean they don't get it; it's just preference.

You said the jokes aren't "deep stuff" uh no crap. This is DEADPOOL. I'm afraid you were expecting too much.
I wasn't, actually. I posted before the movie came out that I'm not a Deadpool guy. I went in with very low expectations with maybe a small hope of getting caught by surprise. And I was actually surprised by how generic it was.

Also, humor doesn't have to be deep to be good or make someone laugh. That's a you problem if you can't laugh at silliness. The dialogue you quoted is hilarious and if that's too "simple" for you, I don't know what to say to you except...IT'S DEADPOOL!
I listened to Insane Clown Posse religiously for years. Trust me when I say I laugh at stupid, simple, silliness at its purest form. This movie just didn't do it for me.

You said just because you didn't like the humor doesn't mean you didn't get it...well if you can't see the humor in that dialogue you quoted, then you didn't get it.
No, I get it. The joke is "Hey, don't do that" and he responds by doing it. Hilarious, right? I get it. It's just not funny to me. It's boring and predictable like a 12 year old wrote it. It's the easiest joke to make with that setup. And that's just not creative or clever enough for me. I don't like comedies where I can accurately guess the punchline of every setup.

That's not to say I didn't find things in the movie funny. Some moments were hilarious...

-Everything that happened with the Taxi Driver
-Spelling out Francis in dead bodies
-The running jokes about Hugh Jackman, down to wearing his face under the mask
-The special day sex scene montage
-The IKEA bitIt's just that, between these moments, I had to sit through about 900 other jokes that fell flat for me while watching a predictable seen-it-before movie plot unfold.

If it was like some of the stranger Deadpool stories, like him traveling through time assassinating zombie Presidents while the ghost of Ben Franklin is his guide, probably wouldn't make $90 million in the first weekend.
See, that kind of craziness actually sounds like a fun ride lol. Even if the humour failed, I'd still be on board for such a strange trip. And what do I care if it makes 90 mil in the first weekend? I just want to be entertained.

I get the comparison, but comedy is not the same as drama.
...thanks for clearing that up. Surprised they didn't cover that in film school.
I'm saying it's the exact same situation you can find yourself in. If everyones laughing, I don't think "What is wrong with me?" or even "What is wrong with these people?". Its just "Oh. Guess this isn't for me."

Well, $60 million for a Marvel Super Hero movie is VERY low budget.
M'kay. Still. Were talking about story here, not set pieces and effects.

They had to cut a TON of things out of the movie, this info is being released now that the writers are doing press.
Yeah, but this is what I'm talking about how budget shouldn't matter. For example...
The gag where Deadpool forgets his bag in the cab at the end was written in to compensate for them losing the budget to have all the guns at the end. And it was another well executed joke that didn't harm the story. I'll never have any way to compare, but I have a feeling I would prefer this joke over just having more gun fun in the final act. This is an example of how a smaller budget can actually enhance your script.
They had to make this a simple story, so they chose love, because that's the simplest story there is, and even though this is a comic book movie and total crazy fantasy world, anyone can relate to love. So you want to say it's cookie cutter, but they took two real pieces of crap people, showed them in love, and made you CARE for them, to me that's not cookie cutter that's a damn good job.They made you care for them :D See what I'm getting at here? That's subjective stuff. And if it works for you, awesome! Just like the comedy parts. If it works for you, awesome! But that's also subjective.

Now you keep saying "without the humor" blah blah blah...well you can just take any movie, and they say "without ________" this movie is blah blah blah.
I love it when you get all eloquent.

You can't take the humor out of this movie because it IS this movie. That's like saying oh Dumb and Dumber is a cookie cutter road trip movie if you take the comedy out....well DUH...it's a friggin COMEDY!
Dumb and Dumber is a comedy, yes. And yeah, that movie doesn't function if you take out the comedy because its just a comedy. But Deadpool as you said, is an action/comedy/superhero story. That's two other types of movies its trying to be, so it's fair to judge it as such. Personally, it didn't connect with me as a comedy, and as an action and superhero movie its just too derivative to enjoy.

Let me try to clear this up: I have nothing against the movie. It was fine. I am not the target audience for this movie because I do not like Deadpool or the type of comedy he provides. I watched it hoping it might catch me by surprise but my personal tastes confirmed that I was not who this movie is made for. And that's fine. I was just giving my take on what I saw.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

I listened to Insane Clown Posse religiously for years. Trust me when I say I laugh at stupid, simple, silliness at its purest form.

This explains EVERYTHING.

[Shark_Blade]

Ugh I feel like seeing this amazing movie again. :tlove: Yes I wanna go!

Flashback on opening night few days ago, the crowds were lovin it! They laughed a lot at the jokes and were amazed by the action and violence. Fascinating!

[Krutch]

This explains EVERYTHING.

What a well thought out rebuttal.

[Leo656]

Yeah, I haven't seen it yet but I see both sides equally. It does seem like it is "perfect" for what it is supposed to be, but that specific thing is not for everyone. Like I know I'm gonna like it, but it's the kind of movie I enjoy (sometimes, not all the time) and I like seeing people do "different" stuff with the genre. I like a little raunch mixed with some randomness, but not altogether "crude" or crass. I read someone in a review say this is like the "Family Guy" of comic book movies; well, I love Family Guy, I like random "what the f*ck?" humor and absurdity, so that's perfect.

Meanwhile, I completely can't stand movies like The Hangover or American Pie, stuff like that that supposedly "everyone" loves and if you don't there's something wrong with you. And I "get it", I just don't find that kind of stuff funny, at all, so I don't like those movies. But for fans of the "fat hairy guys get stoned/drunk and act like buffoons for 90 minutes" genre, it's a "perfect" movie for what it's trying to do, it's just not entertaining to everyone. So I see where Krutch is coming from.

Honestly I know I'm going to like it but it looks "Good Not Great". It's "great" because it's different, because it breaks genre "rules", but at the same time, it's very, very gimmicky and niche and movies like that don't tend to hold up terribly well, even with people who like them. Like, I love Punisher: War Zone, it's a "perfect" Punisher movie... I still would never watch it every day, it completely exhausts the viewer with its own over-the-top-ness, and how much it insists upon itself for being "fresh, hip and Different", and I have a feeling this one will be the same for a lot of people.

Still, really looking forward to it. We were gonna go on Valentine's Day, but we had a big fight so now who knows.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Aww man, that sucks Leo. We're going tomorrow, right after my D&D game. He's going to the game with me, which gets out around 2- and we're doing the Chinese buffet right near the theater after the movie. Whole big date thing for us. He's almost as excited for this movie as I am! And he's letting me wear his Deadpool tee, and he's going to wear his DP hoodie. Yeah, I think we're ready....

[Leo656]

HAH, we were gonna get Chinese after seeing it, too, but we were gonna get a giant bag of take-out rather than do the buffet. :tgrin:

She might get over it by Sunday, just because she really wants to see the movie and she has a way of getting over her pouty bullsh*t really fast when it's in her own best interests. So we'll see, we'll probably still go.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

HAH, we were gonna get Chinese after seeing it, too, but we were gonna get a giant bag of take-out rather than do the buffet. :tgrin:

I honestly don't know when I'll see Deadpool... I've got a lot going on and the one friend who wants to see it with me can't do it until it's in the dollar theater.

So I'm probably seeing it in a few months for cheap, unless my wife tells me to go see it on my own to escape whatever stress has me pulling out my hair sometime in the near future.

[Shark_Blade]

Got back from the second viewing, and yep the audience are loving it. :D I love the excitement, laughter and cheer of people having a good time.

Can't wait for the blu ray.

Wow and this is only a Friday.

The budget was only $50 million. It got almost all of its returns in less than a week! Wowza. :D

Edit: "Opening day Friday"? I watched it on Monday (midnight viewing, so technically Tuesday), ha! :tlove:

[NinjaPug]

Production budget was $58 million. Anyone know what the marketing budget was? Using the standard 2.5 multiple it only needed to make $145 million globally to break even which it will do within a few days of release.

Hopefully this will get them an increased budget for the next one especially with Cable coming on board.

[Krutch]

I think after this weekend it's gonna fall off the map.

[Vicky82]

I doubt that, I reckon a lot of people will see this movie again, including me.

I did predict that it could make between $250M and $300M in the US and in the UK $25M to $30M and I think it will do that.

I doubt it will do that great worldwide because China banned the move but I reckon it could make between $400M to $600M

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

I hate that deadpool's insanity wasn't implemented. On the inside his personality was the same before being cured, during the process of being cured, and after being cured. Even though I like the movie I felt that it played it wayyyyyy too safe given what we heard. I don't get how the relationship between deadpool and vanessa is great, it comes across as being extremely familiar and doesn't bring anything new to the table. I would have preferred it if the movie was more serious and don't think that deadpool's motive for wanting revenge on ajax was good enough. I don't know how deadpool is going to have a bf in deadpool 2 if it's very in your face, completely serious, and when under age youngsters will see it. Reynolds would like for it to happen, they have to remember that a very big chunk of the male demographic is heterosexual/average joes.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

Just got back from seeing it again, still great. All the negatives I'm reading from people/critics can all be argued, and most likely come from people not really aware of Deadpool's character. Rob Liefeld, the co-creator of Deadpool said this movie is the definitive version of Deadpool. I couldn't agree more. Deadpool had to be simple the first time out to grab casual fans, make them hardcore fans, and grab non existent fans and make them fans. The X-Force, and Deadpool and maybe even a Cable movie will be CRAZY. After Wade has been Deadpool for a few years, that will only make him more and more insane. Remember he's only been Deadpool for a little less than a year.

I'm so happy for the writers, Ryan Reynolds, and Tim Miller, because this movie is going to gross close to $150 million worldwide it's opening weekend, and we're going to get an awesome Marvel/X-Men universe for adults.

So, what you're saying is that his craziness is supposed to kick in years after his transformation?! I was under the impression that he became insane immediately after the weapon-x project.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

So, what you're saying is that his craziness is supposed to kick in years after his transformation?! I was under the impression that he became insane immediately after the weapon-x project.

He is insane in the movie, he's talking to us, the viewer, and Colossus acknowledges Deadpool is talking "to himself"...So he is in fact crazy in the movie. The level of crazy depends on who is writing him, some writers he's batsh*t crazy sometimes he's just crazy. You could assume that now that he knows his face cannot be fixed, and maybe losing his girl in the sequel will drive him more insane...but he's pretty damn insane in this movie.

[CyberCubed]

So seeing the reaction to this movie is positive, why do people want Fox to lose the rights to X-men and Deadpool again?

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

The reason for people wanting fox to lose the rights to the x-men is because their take on them is really really awful.

"He is insane in the movie, he's talking to us, the viewer, and Colossus acknowledges Deadpool is talking "to himself"...So he is in fact crazy in the movie. The level of crazy depends on who is writing him, some writers he's batsh*t crazy sometimes he's just crazy."

So in the comics him breaking the fourth wall is a result of the craziness that he gained, right?

That's one of the parts of his craziness yes. But Wade Wilson was a little crazy to begin with too...

The X-Men franchise has a lot more wins than loses IMO...X-Men 1,2, First Class, DoFP, and The Wolverine are all pretty good to great movies...for a long time XM2 was considered the best comic movie to a lot of people. I guess it depends if you want a good story involving characters you know from the comics/cartoons, or do you want exact adaptation from comic/cartoon to movie. The Fox X-Men universe is far from accurate but IMO they've done a hell of a job making good movies. I am way more excited for new X-Men movies than I am for Marvel Universe movies, because the X-Men universe is less insulting to my intelligence, and aimed towards a more grown up individual. So all in all, XM3, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine were the two big misses...the 3 Fantastic 4 movies are not in the X-Men universe so I don't count them.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Only partially. He has been crazy in the comics for YEARS, and part of that is due to the experiments (which the movie conveniently neglected to mention included using Logan's X gene for the healing factor) but part of it was due to Loki's revelation that he's a fictional character. That is why he talks to the audience, though they obviously didn't go into that here. So while WE know he isn't crazy, to everyone else in the movie, he is nuts.

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

I wonder if movie deadpool has extended longevity as well.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

It seems like it was implied by Ajax. I loved his interactions with Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

I'm really hoping that the studio is clever enough to realize that Deadpool is a success NOT because it's vulgar and violent, but because it fits the character's modus operandi and delivers what the fans have been wanting the whole time. Who knows? Maybe they'll start re-thinking their core X-Men films to be a bit closer to the source material.

Both of these tweets are amazing to me:

“@ERCboxoffice: With an opening of $135M, DEADPOOL just debuted higher than any X-MEN film ever has.”

“@ERCboxoffice: Redemption. Ryan Reynold's DEADPOOL debuted with $135M--topping the entire run of GREEN LANTERN.”

Ok, yeah. So if you people can't take a joke(bad or not) that I make, maybe you shouldn't be in a deadpool thread. Yeah, I've annoyed amaranthus before, but I can't help that he has the most posts that trigger a reaction by me. I don't actively seek out his posts to pick on him or make a sarcastic remark. And regarding the messages, I was just trying to start conversation, bit he wouldnt respond. . That's all I have to you hyper-sensitive hypocritical fricks.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

If you can't take something Amaranthus says to you without blowing up, just don't read his posts, or add him to your Ignore List.

Also, your sig really doesn't help your position. Maybe consider changing it to something a smidgen more humble?

Back on topic to avoid the grudge between two people, I'm interested in seeing Deadpool sometime over my school break. Not the biggest Deadpool guy out there, but pretty curious. If it also means he enters a new X-Men movie someday, consider me interested.

Ok, the PMs I admit. But, the visitor messages were really honest attempts at putting something aside. I don't want enemies on here. I get that I irritate people, but I really don't try to. I was trying to make things good and failed miserably. I'm sorry I bothered you, but I really really was making an effort at anything other than hate.

And, wasn't my earlier post not far off? I mean, Han Solo is obviously not in Deadpool and that's a blatant fact that I jokingly called out.

Deadpool was amazing, the movie had a lot of heart, it was funny, full of action and was very funny too, just don't bring your kids to see it, it's rated R for a reason.

[THGhost]

Man, this thread has exploded with activity. :tcool:

Shame Dr. Killebrew wasn't in it.
Also a shame movie didn't have the balls to show Deadpool shooting that woman instead of strongly implying it.

Ajax in this movie is basically a combination of Ajax and Dr. Killebrew.

Umm... I don't think those who didn't like the humour necessarily didn't "get" the humour. The jokes in this movie aren't exactly deep stuff:

Actual dialogue spoken in the movie:

Deadpool: Oh, F***!
Colossus: Language! There are ladies present.
Deadpool: Suck a c***!

I distinctly remember more f-bombs. :P

So seeing the reaction to this movie is positive, why do people want Fox to lose the rights to X-men and Deadpool again?

They don't. Fox is doing a pretty good job with the X-Men universe.

[TigerClaw]

Is it me or the Deadpool is the only movie to get Colossus right? The X-Men movies had a Colossus with no Russian accent.

[Shark_Blade]

Heard on the radio that Deadpool got $135 million so far!!!

Love ya Deadpool!! :tlove::D

[plastroncafe]

That movie was exactly what it said on the tin, and I for one could not be happier!
From the ridiculous premise to the acting to the costumes it was awesome. And yes, hands down the best Colossus we have seen. I have no experience whatsoever with negasonic teenage warhead, but I covet her eyebrows. I can't wait to see it again.

Super Awesome English-Speaking Team-Up! :trazz:

[Leo656]

My wife and I went to go see it yesterday (see the tumultuous journey unfold in the Gear-Grind Thread!).

Frankly, both the Good and Bad reviews seemed a bit skewed after seeing it. For one thing, both seem to imply that the movie only succeeds or fails if you "get" the type of humor it goes for, and I disagree. I think that sh*t's just icing. Sure, it's what sets Deadpool apart and solidifies this as a "Deadpool Movie", but a lot of people who like it and/or hate it make it seem like there's nothing to the movie at all but it's "Deadpool-ness", and I simply don't agree. I think it's a Really Good Movie with a gimmick that gives it its own identity.

The story was good, the characters were interesting, the effects were well-done, the chicks were hot, and the movie actually had a lot of heart, which I haven't heard a lot of people say yet. I expected to like it, but I liked it far, far more than I thought I would. Frankly, I feel that if it HAD leaned even harder on the crassness and the other gimmicks, it would have hurt the movie and worn some people out. I felt it was very balanced. Now that they've shown they know what they're doing, they can always turn things up a notch next time.

It was good. I don't think a lot of people are giving it enough credit, seriously.

Too many 10-12-year-old kids in the theater though. :lol: And there was this black family sitting next to my wife who never laughed, smiled, or moved during the entire thing; we wondered if they got into the wrong theater by accident and were too embarrassed to leave. :lol: No reaction whatsoever. People are weird.

[CyberCubed]

Why would parents bring 10-12 year old kids to see a Deadpool movie? Seriously, I bet they thought it was a regular superhero movie like all the others and didn't notice the R rating.

[Leo656]

Or they don't know how to say "No".

I honestly thought there'd be more tits. I wanted to murder Colossus for not letting us see whatsername's tit when it fell out near the end. :lol: That's my advice for Deadpool 2: More Tits. :lol:

[THGhost]

There were literally zero children there when I saw it. It was fantastic. :P

[Leo656]

Can someone remind me the amazon chick with the matchstick's name? I'm bad at names when I see a movie the first time. Too busy watching what's happening.

Last movie I went into with age-inappropriate viewers was Kingsman: The Secret Service. Oddly enough, it was a 1am showing and half of the people in the audience were under 10 or 12 years old.

When it got to the "I'll let you do me in the @ss" scene, I guffawed out loud and this mom with her little kids turns and glares at me. I just shrugged back at her... she's the one who brought the juicebox crowd to an R-rated film.

Surreal.

Thanks. I should have specified that I was looking for the character name - Angel Dust, apparently :trazz: - but I found it thanks to you.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

@Leo, First showing I went to had zero children, and when the movie ended a man who had to be 90 stood up and waddled out of the theater...I still cannot believe he sat through it all. Second show I went to had about 5 little kids and they were running around, up and down the steps...very annoying, they stayed the whole movie...but an old man walked out right after the pegging scene...I was so proud of the movie for that.

I can only imagine what the parents of those kids were going through, when it got to the montage sex scenes. lol

[MsMarvelDuckie]

LOL! There was a family with three kids- all under twelve- at our showing, too, but they left early on. Thank the gods.... But seriously, what were they expecting in a Ryan Reynolds flick? He's had full-frontal shots, or at least full rear shots, in almost EVERY film he's been in! (GL was an exception- but it's DC PG, so go figure.) And he's not shy with the language, either.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

I can only imagine what the parents of those kids were going through, when it got to the montage sex scenes. lol

They ran out of the theater RIGHT before the sex scenes, so I thought oh maybe the parents told them to go out of the theater for a few minutes...nope RIGHT before the pegging starts they ran back in and up the stairs back to their seats. They had to be no older than 6...I guess at that point you have to think maybe they don't even know what's going on...but I have a memory of watching the Dragnet movie and there is a woman, where it's implied she's topless, and I tried to look down the tv screen to see her boobs...and I was probably 4 or 5 at the time lol...

http://io9.gizmodo.com/deadpool-has-changed-the-x-men-movies-forever-but-thats-1758048487

I just read this, it's entirely speculative...I've heard numerous people talk about Gambit being turned into an R rated movie...or how more movies will be rated R because of Deadpool...the crazy thing is, Deadpool is being received so well because it's quite possibly the most accurate adaptation of a Comic Book character EVER. I bet if they did justice to Gambit, and put the marketing behind it like Deadpool...it will be a success too.

The thing about an X-Force movie, it's lead by Cable, not Deadpool, so I think they need to make Deadpool 2 and maybe by the end of that movie X-Force is kind of assembled or at least we're introduced to some of the X-Force characters through out. So Cable can be the leader in the X-Force movie, because as much as I love Deadpool...he is NOT a leader.

[plastroncafe]

Depends on which iteration of X-Force you're dealing with.
The current run of Uncanny X-Force doesn't have Cable...or rather, it didn't when I still read the title monthly.

[THGhost]

I truly feel sorry for all of you who had to endure those little brats. Some people just don't deserve to be parents.

Ghost: Gigantic sig is gigantic. C'mon dude.

I didn't make any changes to it whatsoever, but you're right. It was a little big. No idea why. Resized it now. Tis the same size as Cylon's.

Whatever type of X-Force movie they make, I'm sure Deadpool will play significant role if not the lead role.

[Cryomancer]

There was at least one kid at my showing this morning, with an adult. They were the ones seated closest to the screen, and stayed until credits.

Anyway, good stuff. Always nice to see a movie that doesn't pull it's punches. Managed to not fall into the abyss of "too obnoxious" and avoid all the obvious traps that lead there. Boring villain, but pretty much everyone else was great.

[CyberCubed]

Kids should not be seeing a movie like this. Parents are so irresponsible.

[THGhost]

Actual dialogue spoken in the movie:

Deadpool: Oh, F***!
Colossus: Language! There are ladies present.
Deadpool: Suck a c***!

I remember it now. It went like this:

Deadpool (about Angel Dust): Finish f***ing her the f*** up!
Colossus: Language, please!
Deadpool: Suck a c***!

Slightly off topic, I just discovered a Spider-Man/Deadpool series. How many issues are out and how many issues will it be? I have access to the first two issues.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Which series is it? I've read a couple of crossovers, and they are always hilarious.

[MikeandRaph87]

Which series is it? I've read a couple of crossovers, and they are always hilarious.

The only one I know of, by Joe Kelly and Ed McGuiness. I was looking for opinions on this series before I read the two issues.

[ZariusTwo]

Spider-Man/Deadpool is awesome, and it's currently outperforming the regular eyesore that is ASM in the sales charts.

Wade trying to earn Spidey's respect (while simultaneously wanting to kill Peter for hire) is a great dynamic. Last issue was a load of fun with Deadpool accomedating the Spider-Mobile and running over Mysterio.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

So this is a current series? Cool. I was thinking of some of the older minis or single issue plots like the _____ and Deadpool series, where he teamed with different heroes for an issue or two throughout the run. Spidey was one of them. Same issue that had the Hitmonkey, IIRC.

[THGhost]

This shows that even R-rated movies can make a lot of money. There were a lot of children who saw the movie as well so the rating didn't do a dag-gone thing to prevent them from watching a romance movie.

[Coola Yagami]

I don't know... after seeing the movie... and based on what kids are exposed to nowadays and the R rated stuff we went to see as kids anyways....

I don't really see anything that inappropriate except for sex montage (and even then all we saw was Reynolds' butt, we never got to the see his girlfriend's goodies), the strip bar scene and the masturbation scene. Everything else is violence that is tamed compared to what is shown in Mortal Kombat or wordplay that will go over kids' heads.

I don't know, I remember more violence in Robocop and sex montages and strippers/nudity have been seen in stuff like the Hot Shots movies, Revenge of the Nerds, and the Beverly Hills Cop movie and whatnot and we saw all those as kids.

Saw it over the weekend. Loved it.

There were a couple of kids in my showing, but what can you do..we all have different opinions of parenting.

What did catch my attention though was an older couple..senior citizens. Looked way out of place, but during the movie the woman fell asleep. The man was having a blast though, laughing his head off. He was almost as funny as the movie itself.

I saw it on Friday and people stupidity never ceases to amaze me. I wouldn't even bring my 14 year old to this.

When we walked up there was an old lady (grandma probably) buying tickets for her and a 12 year old. The guy at the window was trying to talk them out of buying the tickets and she just goes well his mom said he could see it so I said I would take him to this movie. SMH.

Btw I totally loved the movie! I'm so in for another one of these.

Like I said, we all have different opinions of parenting. It's obvious that this mother and grandmother had different opinions than us.

[plastroncafe]

I don't really have a problem with parents bringing their kids.
A) they know more about their children than we do.
B) ostensibly they're the ones going to have to deal with any sort of post-movie trauma.
c) And it's not like Deadpool is really all that much more violent than a lot of the more popular video games out there.

The R rating is more for the vulgarity/sex than it is for the violence, and that's messed up. With the glaring exception of one instance the sex in that movie is enthusiastically consented to by adults.

R basically doesn't allow kids under 17 to see it, however there is PG-13 which only allows 13 years or older to see them, and you still see kids under that age seeing those films.

These ratings aren't being enforce at the theater, I don't think the theater is going to turn away a potential costumer, just cause the rating of the movie isn't for kids, it's why these ratings suggest there be a parent along.

Rated R is under 17 requires a parent or guardian. So they leave it up to the parents. Hey, if a parent thinks their kid can handle it, by all means go for it. If they're going to disrupt the movie please do not bring them, even if it's PG. I know at 13 I could have handled seeing this movie. I've never been policed with language, as long as I use it in the appropriate setting. I've been watching movies since I was a little kid, and before I was 13 I'd seen plenty of sex scenes.

That's not okay, Purse. :P

No confusion here. There's a certain cut off point in terms of age, surely. You wouldn't take a 6-year-old to see Deadpool. And yet, some parents have apparently. :P

If the kids in question are well-behaved and don't annoy other movie goers, then I guess it's okay. But don't take your screaming brat to a movie they're not legally old enough to see.

I know you're saying that in jest, but seriously, my parents knew I could handle it.

I am wondering though... with the kids wanting to see the movie and whatnot. Parenting aside, isn't it kind of Marvel's fault too? I mean, sure Deeadpool's own comic has stuff not for kids, but he cameos in other people's comics like Spider-Man and whatnot so kids are bound to run into him anyway. While his own game is full of boob jokes and whatnot, he's also in Marvel VS Capcom 3 and other Marvel games that are more PG. He was in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. He's now in some commercial on that new Marvel game, interrupting the commercial since he's in the middle of a phone call, and yelling out 'CHIMICHANGAS!!!' at the end.

I mean, yeah the movie is clearly labeled R and all that, but for people saying it's bad parenting to have kids of a certain age even know who he is.... that's on Marvel for putting him in kid's cartoons and stuff.

Funny story with the similarities of Deadpool and Spider-Man, at least in regards to being silly and wisecrakery. As you know the McGuire films barely had any wisecracks. My gf at the time first got major exposure to Deadpool due to playing his game. We got watch Amazing Spider-Man 2 and once Spidey starts crakin at the Rhino, she tells me he reminds her of Deadpool, and I told her, naw Spidey is always like that in the comics, it's just this movie is finally starting to show it more.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

No it's really not on Marvel. They tone him down in comics he guest appears in, and his own comic has a higher age rating. They are well aware that kids will read the others he shows up in, and they rate and WRITE them accordingly. He has even complained in-universe about the censorship. And it's the same with the games. They know kids will be running into him in their materials but they are careful not to allow his character to be as violent or vulgar elsewhere as he is in his own book.

[THGhost]

He was extremely toned down in Ultimate Spider-Man. He even joked about physically not being able to say the word "kill".

No it's not their fault. Parents need to parent and stop blaming things on everyone else. With this type of thinking I'm sure you believe the lady that burned herself with coffee at McDonalds deserved all that money for being an idiot.

[plastroncafe]

She did deserve that money, because she was third degree burned by coffee that was too hot to safely drink.

McDonalds was selling food that was unsafe to consume with no warning what so ever.

She's right, you know. It'll astonish you when you find out that this case actually WASN'T frivolous.

The more you find out for yourself, the more surprises await you...

And the fact remains, she only sued McDonalds for the cost of her medical treatment (some $20k). It was the court case and jury that awarded her all the other money, before the appeal and out of court settlement kicked in.

Was an alright movie with some funny moments, I'd give it about a 7.5. I enjoyed most of the funny scenes, Collossus, and such, but the movie was pretty straight forward and the main villain got kind of boring by the end since he was so one-dimensional. Oddly enough I enjoyed the taxi cab drivers scenes the most, those were pretty amusing.

Not sure if this is a movie that will hold up in a few years, but I was decently entertained. They didn't make Deadpool as ugly under the mask as they could of, so I didn't see why he thought he was so hideous looking. I mean he didn't look THAT bad. They could have really made him disfigured but chose not to.

Not sure if I'll ever watch this again, but it was alright for a one and done movie. Look forward to the sequel.

His face looked nowhere as hideous as it could have been. He just looked like he had some second degree burns. His eyes, nose, mouth were all fine and weren't disfigured. If you've seen his various designs in the comics it could have been much worse.

You are correct! Watched it twice over the weekend and you can plainly see the turbines in three different shots- twice at the beginning of the scene in long shots before and after Wade realized he left the ammo and guns in the taxi. The last shot is when the hellicarrier is tilting over after Negasonic goes nuclear the last time. One of the rear turbines breaks off. The earlier shots show one at the far left side behind the bridge tower.


They tnever call it a helicarrier, so really who's to say?
But...there are horizontal rotors on that thing.

Besides, there were Spider-Man references through out too, and those seemed to fly okay.



They really don't NEED to call it one since it's pretty obvious. At a guess, it was one of the three that were downed in Winter Soldier, since it was in a junkyard and had a gaping hole through the middle of the hull! IIRC one of those three got hit square in the center by another one so that was probably it.

That's interesting, Considering Reynolds was a major part in making Deadpool happen, I wonder what there creative differences were, cause I thought those two were on the same page.

But you know, I'm glad they are going with a different director, I like it when these sequels have someone else directing, they can put there own spin on it, usually when you have the same director doing a sequel, they try very hard to replicate the first movie.

Turns out there was something filmed for Logan involving Reynalds

It's not actually part of the movie, but is instead a short mini-movie that plays before Logan starts. Wade witnesses a mugging and changes into his costume in a phone booth (and is accompanied by the actual John Williams Superman score), Wade expectedly struggles putting on the costume and he's too late to prevent the victim being shot dead. Wade finishes the short by choosing to snuggle up to the corpse and talk to it about ice cream and brain freeze. The title card read "Deadpool: Coming soon...not soon enough"

[NinjaPug]

The Deadpool short has been officially released now:

[ZariusTwo]

The Deadpool short has been officially released now:

Z5ezsReZcxU

It's also got a few new additions to it. Stan Lee was'nt in the original cut, and the Superman theme kept playing when Deadpool came out the booth, now it's been replaced by an 80s anthem

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Seeing the short last night made me realize something:

I really don't give a sh!t about Deadpool. It's Cable and Domino and X-Force that I like, not Wade.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Bite your tongue, heathen!! Wade is the MAN! Okay I maaaay be biased because I'm a fan of the comics (who ELSE would have an issue that features both Spidey and a Hit-monkey??!!) but Deadpool is the only comic "hero" I know who would KIDNAP a Hydra agent and hold him for ransom, then make him his own sidekick when they refuse to take the guy back! (This was the joke behind that whole "Bob" bit in the first movie. I would like to see Bob come back though.)
