I have to say they really have nailed the essence of Deadpool in the marketing anyway.. i just hope its not gonna be a pile of ****e

e_e

I look forward to reading all the reports of angry parents pulling their kids out of screenings because they can't read an age rating. :pac:

There's a petition going around for a PG-13 cut of the movie :pac:, a PG-13 cut for a character who isn't exactly child friendly... I for one can't wait to see the R - Rated cut

Same ****tards buying their kids GTAV and complaining about the violence in that

Does this mean the film will be rated 18? I hope so that it's not just another light 15/r-rated action movie.

That rating's just for a trailer, and trailers are rated a lot more harshly than full-length films because they're shorter so there's less time to establish context, so a trailer's rating could be lower or higher than the film's. One example I can think of is Ted getting an 18 rated trailer even though the film was a 15.

I also wouldn't be too worried if it gets a 15 - they can get very violent nowadays. It will probably get more lenient treatment because it's a comedy, which helped Kick-Ass to get a 15 instead of an 18.

This is in UK rating terms but I would be surprised if it got a 15A in Ireland. I'm expecting it to be at least a 16.

It'as a shame the entire marketing campaign hasn't been geared that way, would have been a fantastic practical joke.

Ah, hadn't considered this. Cheers.

Hopefully it is.. they can't do the character justice unless its a full hog adult movie.

I know that, but make-up designer Bill Corso has said that:
"Ironically there's not as much gore as there could be, it's all portrayed pretty realistically. Deadpool does some really graphic stuff to people, but it's all quick and doesn't linger on it.”

To get a 15, the violence, "should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury"

Taking that into account with Bill's quote, there's a very realistic chance that it could be a 15, which can still get heavily violent (e.g. Kick-Ass, John Wick and both 300 films). It's not that it shouldn't be as outrageous and adult as possible (which it should), but more because you can get away with a lot of swearing, sex and violence at 15, and I wouldn't be looking forward to it as much as I am if there wasn't a chance of it having that rating.

On track for a $55/60m opening weekend in the States which would be awesome.

The Hollywood Reporter released the tracking numbers for Deadpool ahead of its February 12th release date, and the results are encouraging, to say the least. Not only is the film the "first choice" pick among males and females for that weekend, it's also clocking in with an estimated range of $55 million to $60 million in ticket sales. For reference, this puts the film on track to crush its competition – in particular Zoolander 2, which is quoted for a $20+ million opening.

Does what it says on the tin.

Bought this and read it in one sitting.

Enjoyed the nihilism of it.

Touching the borderline where I'm gonna start avoiding trailers...

A trailer for this came on while I was waiting to see The Big Short. It was embarrassing. Not often I genuinely turn my head away from the screen in disgust, but Deadpool in all its dreadfulness demanded it of me. 0.5/10

So you have based that "score" of this on a 2 min(ish) trailer??

Which trailer and are you a comic fan anyway?

Curious as each of them so far (I'm starting to avoid now) has made me more excited than the last

I've seen the same very short, condensed trailer in Cineworld probably 6 or 7 times in the last 2 weeks which doesn't leave a good impression at all. It's more like a TV spot and doesn't make much sense.

If I hadn't seen the full length trailers, this would have put me right off. Could hear folks around me each time saying how "shîte" it looked, tis a shame.

Movie isn't even out yet and someone's already disgusted :pac:

Will it be 18s or 16s over here?

Lithium93_

You'd imagine it would be 18, but can probably see it being a 16 which would be foolish.

Fox must have some confidence in this, they had a surprise screening last week with no embargo. I've been told the press screening is also early for this kind of movie.

Word of mouthing so. Serenity tried the same in 2004/5

Deadpool has a good marketing campaign but I imagine there is a large section of the public still unsure
