Deadpool (The Movie)
polycounter lvl 18
I couldn't find a past discussion, for this movie, this movie was fucking epic. If you were hesitant to see this movie, get over it, stop reading this post, and go see it. Unless you hate sex, vulgar jokes, and and gratuitous violence... then this movie may not be for you.
I won't spoil anything, for the intro post, but this movie is everything Deadpool should be. The storyline/villains are a bit bland, but watching Deadpool, was enough entertainment that I didn't care if there even was a villain. I could have just watched him hang around town being himself.
My two favorite moments... the zamboni and the little hand. Those who saw it, know what I mean

Deadpool is not a great movie. But it is one of the most consistently entertaining films I've seen in years. While not every aspect of the film shines, even the more flawed elements dish up heaping helpings of guffaws. It is subversive to its own genre, medium and industry, while still managing to deliver a solid film. I am somewhat reminded of the Lego Movie. Obviously not in the subject matter, but in the manic energy, the subversive tone, and the gleeful fun that suffuses the entire experience.
Definitely worth a watch. I highly recommend this film.
...well, that always happens when we have so much expectations for something ( like games too), right ?
But I would tottally recomend to anyone, it's really fun and Ryan Reynolds matches perfectly as Deadpool

Hurumph.
Best case - it leads to less movies being mashed awkwardly into PG13 level ratings and some more interesting mature and obscure comic movies. Worst case we get a bunch of other crass superhero movies trying to be Deadpool and catastrophically missing the mark.
The hype didn't get to me, because I was intentionally avoiding trailers, interviews, and reviews. I'm doing the same with Batman v Superman. I saw enough, in the first trailer, to determine I wanted to see it.
The other fun outcome, from this movie, is seeing the ignorant parents, commenting on taking their kids. I think it was very well published that this movie was pushing the limits of the R rating, and was NOT meant for kids. Parents are so damn stupid/naive these days.
Objectively, Deadpool is a really solid, well-made, well-written, well-acted movie. It's not transcendental. It's not going to blow your socks off, or fundamentally change how you think about the medium. But it is very well made, and very, very entertaining. It is a good movie. Perhaps not a great movie, but a very good one. For anyone with the stomach for a bit more of a hard-R rating, this is an easy recommendation. The chances of you enjoying yourself immensely while watching it are very high.
The entire time I was watching the opening credits, I was stifling my laughter, and settling with giggling manically in my seat. If I had laughed as I wanted to, it would probably have disturbed some of the other moviegoers. I heartily look forward to picking this one up on home video.

I think it was one of Blur's artists, right (though I suppose it could a whole mob of people)? That person + Ryan Reynolds are basically who it seems people should thank for getting Deadpool made. And the artist deserves a bigger spot in the limelight, haha!
Pretty amazing movie. The humour was spot on. Loved even just the opening credits, where they filled in names with a hilarious description of that person instead. So well done.
