Yeah apologies, meant delaying when you could pre book tickets rather than delaying the whole movie.

You can't pre book using free tickets though, only pre-book with credit or debit card. I really think they just haven't put it up to prebook as there really won't be a need for anyone too, demand shouldn't be as high as an Avengers movie.

Reynolds isn't a huge draw, some of his movies haven't been great, Green Lantern I'm looking at you, and Deadpool isn't as well known as the base super heroes. I'm looking forward to film completely and it will obviously be a box office hit but I don't see demand for it being up there with the Marvel movies.

The exact same things were said about Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man. I think Deadpool will be just fine.

That's understating things. I think it's safe to classify Reynolds as box office poison. Again, I don't mind the guy but can understand why some can't stand his "sher aren't I hilarious" persona.

The translation of the description of that youtube video sparks my imagination

Ill believe it when I'm sitting in the theatre and the opening credits roll.

i don't think that is safe to say at all. I would be fairly surprised if people didn't go to the movie just because Reynolds is in it.

He's very marmite though.
Wife is bringing me to see it on the 10th, perfect birthday timing, thanks Deadpool

Is that really a popular view of him?

I'd like him myself but I've honestly never heard of anyone saying they hate him and would never watch a movie with him in it. At worst I would have thought people apathetic to him in the most part.

I just wouldn't have thought of him as a actor without enough about them to sell or tank a movie on their own.

I would have also thought of him as an actor perfect for Deadpool - can;t think of better casting for the role to be honest.

Reynolds is great. Lots of men don't seem to like him cos he's funny and handsome. He's got acting chops (see Buried) and he's s comic nerd who's been a big fan of Deadpool for a long time. He's had a lot to do with the marketing of the film which is all done in keeping with the tone of the character so he obviously understands Deadpool. He's the perfect fit for the role and he's definitely not box office poison.

Pretty much.
Buried was a phenomenal performance.

I think he's just a bad chooser of roles really which can equate to awful box office figures or just awful movies (R.I.P.D., The Voices, The Change-Up, Self/less, Green Lantern etc) I like him as an actor though.

You should give The Voices a watch.

I can't stand him and that's the reason I probably won't see this

I thought he was very good in Adventureland.

Reviews are pretty positive,Reynolds looks to have nailed it as Deadpool.

Reviews mostly pretty positive, although quite a few saying that Deadpool wasn't enough.......Deadpool. It's a tough character to go to extents with though because of the stuff he gets upto in the comics, needs 2-3 film arc to nail that imo.

I'd be of the 'can't stand him' opinion myself. Guy just grates on me, and would have preferred to see someone else in the role. Personally don't agree with the 'Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool' sentiment but the lowest common denominator humour that has made the character so popular over the last 5 years is Reynolds' bread and butter and people will probably lap it up.

Despite all that I will still go see it next weekend.

He was pitched as a perfect deadpool 10 years ago. So your nice comment about lowest common is a bit confusing

Stuckmann is okay and nowhere near as annoying as Jeremy Jahns but something about this "I'm gonna put my gurning face on the thumbnail of a movie review" really annoys me. :P

Just so you know, you gave the tickets to a man with a big Deadpool tattoo who is very grateful!

Saw it at the screening this evening and loved it. Hit the right balance of comedy, silliness and action and totally captured the spirit of the comics - I even enjoyed the obligatory Stan Lee cameo.
