Deadpool

Went at the weekend, really enjoyed it.

Knew nothing about the character. Not a huge super hero fan (was previously but got bored with 6 films a year). Didn't even really want to go but glad I did now.

Some genuinely hilarious set pieces. Decent characters. Oh and the action was pretty good too.

OwaynOTT · 15-02-2016 5:21pm

'Twas grand. Few minor gripes now ups have made for some more memorable action scenes if Deadpool really put his body in the line because of his regen abilities rather than just being deadly with the sword and acrobatics and all.
Kinda like the bit where he did that thing with his hand.
Looking forward to seeing the guy who was mentioned will be showing up in the sequel.

Be nice to see a Deadpool cameo in the next wolverine movie.

Was thinking the same.

I'm sure Fox are surprised with the reaction and more so with the money its made, so they might try to sneak him into another film before Deadpool 2.

Have Wolverine about to say "f*ck" and just at this point have deadpool stick his head in screen and whisper it and say "say it now Logan"

How would fitting deadpool into a pg movie work? Would it not just be a really watered down version that barely resembles deadpool?

ps3lover · 15-02-2016 6:36pm

According to posters on the Box Office Forums, Deadpool is the highest grossing superhero movie of all time in some country's. In one weekend it managed to outgross Avengers, Dark Knight, Xmens etc entire gross.

Is this a mega backlash against forced PG13 we're seeing?
It's like the movie going public realise that this is the only shot at adult themed super flicks we would get

So Stephen Lang actively wants to be Cable? Fine by me!!

Forgot about that restriction. Have him in it but only in the unrated extended home release. I'm sure Deadpool could have some fun fourth walking that.

I'm on the fence about whether I'll go to see this. Someone said if I didn't enjoy Kingsman (which I didn't really) I won't like this one.

However I did enjoy Zombieland a lot so maybe I'll give it a look.

Look if you watched and enjoyed the Red band trailers you will enjoy it, if they didn't float your boat then give it a miss!

Boat is still moored to the pier. It is neither sunk nor floated.

Hard to tell if it's just the edit of the trailer that irks me or the character. I guess I'll just have to watch it to find out!

Might not be for me so!

I think he might be one of those characters I'd enjoy in a comic but hard to warm to them on screen.

deco nate · 16-02-2016 12:45am

I never read the comic, but I saw this today and loved it. At the end of the movie I stayed to watch the end credits, the cartoon bit. The lights came on and the cleaner's came in so everyone left. Did I miss something else? I'm gutted if I did because that's bad form by the cinema for doing that. Tbh I had a feeling I was gonna miss something.
Please tell me,jist put in in spoilers if I did.
Thanks

Don't worry if you had stayed any longer, you would have been told to go home anyway.

Tomagotchye · 16-02-2016 12:52am

I think it tried to be over funny. I've read the comics when I was younger but I don't remember there being as much ****ty sex humour as this either? Did I just miss this as a young lad?

njoyed it a good deal though, thought it was entertaining and pretty fun overall. Revenge is the best plot drive, regardless of narrative.

aaronjumper · 16-02-2016 1:13am

Saw Deapool tonight with friends. We all loved it, can't wait for the DVD or the sequel.

Same here, I will support this as much as I can.
So few movies do good action and good comedy, you usually only end up with one of the two.

It could also be that adult comic fans are seeing this as an opportunity of going to the cinema without having to put up with bad behaving teenagers and kids all through the movie. Went tonight and aside from the movie itself it was one of the more enjoyable cinema experiences I've had. I heard no mobiles going off, no-one was checking messages in front of me during the movie, no incessant chattering, and no-one left the cinema during the running time.

Plenty of that at the screening I was at, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately adults can be as bad as kids for annoying cinema behaviour.

Out of curiosity, what comic run did you read or how long ago was it that you read them?

True, there was a guy with an e-cigarette in the screening I went to. I am still trying to understand the mentality of it.

Mr Freeze · 16-02-2016 12:02pm

The only bit of Deadpool I thought that was a bit much or missed its mark was TJ Millers lines. Some of them were good, but most weren't.

Apart from that 5/7. A perfect score. :pac:

The bits that lost me were the Ikea bit and the "dead pool" in the bar, which was just a really clunky way of coming up with his name.

I didn't mind TJ Miller at all in it. Yeah some of the lines fell a bit flat but same can be said of almost every character.

I sat behind a grown woman who was watching videos on Facebook during a film last year. It was an action film - very exciting, lots going on. How are you so bored that you start watching something else at the cinema?

F*cking people. :mad:

Looks like Deadpools success is already having an effect. Wolverine 3 will target an R rating. Could we finally, FINALLY, be done with the forced PG13 bull****?

went to see it again yesterday with the brother (his first time)

enjoyed is more if anything.

was surprised how much i missed on the jokes/quips front the first time around.

Duggy747 · 18-02-2016 2:12am

Found it entertaining enough, this kind overly zany and "random" humour isn't on my wavelength but I knew that of the character for years and knew what to expect going in so I won't go as far as some here and call this a crap film because it's not.

The biggest thing I took away from the film was how hysterical people in my screen were getting watching this. I don't mean the audience laughing loudly at the jokes, I mean proper full on possessed screaming and whooping insanely loudly. I've never experienced anything like it, it was like I was at a evangelical church where Deadpool was the preacher and the audience were his congregation :pac:

References were the ones that really set people off, howling in laughter at gags like the quick sight of a toy of the botched 2009 Deadpool from Wolverine Origins. I got the reference but couldn't understand what was so insanely hilarious about it.

The story is a very simplistic setup for an origin but not a lot of people know the character so it's enough of a vehicle to showcase what he is and the kind of humour that's involved. Judging by the reactions and money it's pulled in, it's done it's job effectively.

This character and the movie's humour are subjective so I knew there would be jokes and moments that would fall flat for me before going in but I did find a some bits of the film pretty funny and the action had a good flow to it. For a nearly 2 hour film, it absolutely breezed by because of it's near relentless energy.

Though Reynolds has campaigned a long time for Deadpool, I think this was the exact perfect time for the film to have come out. I'm burnt out and bored shítless of superhero films especially Marvel's typical safe, bland, and sterile-looking approach they've taken for so many years which I suspect is the same for a lot of people.

Those films are like a glass of stale water and Deadpool is a shot of tequila. :pac:

Also, watching people claw into this film and attempting to apply their sexism / gender / race / sexuality politics has been quite a sight. Saw this on The Guardian:

While it’s a pity that Deadpool, both character and film, don’t venture beyond heterosexual sex, it still has the makings of an intriguing piece of queer superhero cinema

Lol

THIS!!

It's a terrible thing to criticize is people's enjoyment of a movie.. but my God, it's good to see it wasn't just the screening I was at that was full of people heartily belly-laughing at moments that were definitely worth a smirk or smile at the most!

Still, I'm not going to criticize the excellent movie for that!

Great fun and clearly a movie that was made with a lot of love (and the cast and crew looks like they'd great fun doing it).. bring on the sequel!

MilesMorales1 · 18-02-2016 11:18am

How cut was the version of deadpool we got in the cinema? I don't recall seeing any dick/boobs at all in the film.

Really..

Fight scene with francis in lab.. Deadpool burnt tackle

Wade and his missus bed scene, Stripclub, "boobs".

Bacchus · 18-02-2016 11:36am

Watched it last night. 2 thumbs up from me. Right from the opening credits the movie is just plain fun. It's a very simple story wrapped up in a great unique character, with a joke a minute (though while it had me smiling and the occasional LOL, I wasn't ROFLOL) and some decent action to boot.

Reynolds is brilliant as Deadpool and they played the whole 4th wall thing perfectly. It wasn't in your face but it was always there. Best of all, it didn't become a tired trope and even as the movie goes into the final act he's still at it (as opposed to descending into generic superhero fare).

The highlight for me was probably the whole highway scene, particularly when Colossus and NTW turn up. Deadpool "fighting" Colossus was brilliant. Looking forward to seeing it again when it gets its small screen release. No doubt I missed a load of winks, nods and references.

Two of my favourites line from the movie just popped in to my head today

When Colossus says lets go see

Professor X, and Deadpool says 'Stewart or McAvoy?'

and

When Deadpool talks about fondling

Wolverine's balls and he says 'Down Under' in an Australian accent.

:D

Basq · 18-02-2016 12:36pm

My favourite line was when he went to see Colossus and NTW in Prof X's School: "

It's such a big house and it's funny I only see the two of you.. it's almost like the studio couldn't afford another X-Man!

"

JasmineJasmine · 18-02-2016 12:46pm

Dead Pool the Movie was great movie. I could watch it over and over again. It was so funny my jaw hurt, And Ryan Reynolds Nails the Role of Dead Pool. He blew my mind when I saw him play the character. And I'm going to give Dead Pool the 2016 movie an A+. Tim Miller, You did really good directing a great comic book movie.

The bit that killed me and probably got the biggest laugh in the cinema was after

he breaks both his hands and does the impression of the T-Rex

, closely followed by

his severed hand flipping off Colossus
