You're a ****ing idiot. With that username though, I don't know how you weren't on my ignore list already. Shame on me.
Go ahead, ignore me. How dare I don't approve of things that you approve of, how dare I.

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

Screencrush are pretty critical of it

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.

Seems like they don't get the humor of Deadpool, so it sounds like a good movie.

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".

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.

My wife is gonna lose her sh*t during the strap-on scene, that is so entirely her humor.

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.

It now has 96% due to 1 rotten review, Here's what that review says about it.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Actually managed to get tickets for Wednesday.
Site still says it's forbidden under 12 years old. I'm terribly confused.

Talked to a guy who saw the advance screening, and apparently tv spot#20 kind of spoils a bit of the ending
