You bet your arse it was.
Absolutely outstanding O0
But don't take yer kids. I'm surprised what passes for a 15 nowadays.
*warning*
I watch films purely for enjoyment. I don't go to analyse, dissect and/or interpret :idiot2:
Good to hear, JD. I do want to see this one. :)
My interest is peaked. What was so good about it?

He's limited to a very specific acting role, but this may be one that actually fits.
I know which one. That might be a deal breaker for me...
The humour is just outstanding. The lines, the come backs (and both not just from Deadpool), the music, the slow mo sections...and how the hell they can make a spandex covered face with no features except two white eyes so full of expression was fantastic.
The whole cinema was laughing almost the entire way through - which really was a tad annoying because you didn't hear the follow up line at times - but you couldn't help yourself.
As for Ryan Reynolds, yeah - he's in it and you see him now and again - but mainly it's about the guy in the red spandex suit. The only other film I've seen Ryan Reynolds in was Smoking Aces and I thought that film was fantastic and he played that part well.
I was thoroughly entertained for 2 hours.
And the trailers!! Batman v Superman, Captain America:Civil War, X-Men:Apocalypse...it's going to be a good year...but this film really will take some topping in my book.
It depends on what you like. If you like the trailers to this - the whole film is just filled with that humour.
Obviously (it goes without saying) watch the credits.

CGI is pretty amazing. I saw a picture of an assistant helping him adjust the costume and it was weird seeing 'normal' holes where his eyes were. I was wondering how much of the mask was CGI and how much of it was real, but apparently it was a lot of mask with just two eye holes just a bit bigger than his actual eyes. Guess it doesn't matter because special effects guys can do anything with anything these days.
I really really want to see this movie, and so do my kids (17 and 15), though I know my wife will shit a brick if she sees it...LOL.
JD, what's '15?' Does that mean nobody under 15 is admitted unless a parent is with them?
15 means you need to be 15. If you are younger you won't get in - even with a parent.
I think it should've been an 18 - but maybe I'm just a prude.
OK. I'm in. The title reminds me of my testicles--- Dead GenePool.
Betty White also likes every day she is above ground. NOT a ringing endorsement for Deadpool.
Don't be harshing on Betty White.
Don't use a beloved icon to promote that toolbag Ryan Reynolds :P
To be honest, just about every review I've seen so far has been positive to a greater or lesser degree. I suspect the main reason one wouldn't like the film is if -- like our resident exterminator here -- one doesn't like Reynolds. (That, plus parents of children under the age of 15 or so; lots of naughty language!) Otherwise, though, it sounds like a fun movie.
I've read a few reviews, too. And it seems that everyone agrees the actor suits the role. And sometimes, that produces genius. No matter who the actor is. I may have to relent and see this. My daughter will be the test subject on Sunday. Her opinion will be biased though. The whole "I would marry Ryan Reynolds in a heartbeat," thing gooches the deal though.

From one father to another, you have my sincere sympathy.
Thank you. I'm just glad it's Reynolds and not Dane Cook. Imagine how Jessica Simpson's father felt when she brought HIM home?!
Dane Cook. Every father's worst nightmare.
There's a lot of Ryan Reynolds hate in this and any other thread in which he's mentioned. What gives? I think he's a good actor. Has he done something heinous I'm not aware of?
Have you seen Green Lantern? Or R.I.P.D.? Or The Change Up? The Proposal? The Amityville Horror? Van Wilder? All those movies are crap! And it doesn't matter what his character is supposed to be, he always plays the same person: smart ass, wise crackin', man child. Which makes him perfect for Deadpool, but not so much for roles with a little depth.
Reynolds was on Opie Radio this past week promoting Deadpool. I haven't really heard him in an interview setting and he seemed like a pretty down to earth guy. He was self-disparaging and made a lot of jokes mocking himself.
He was asked if he'd do Green Lantern again for the DC movie lineup and his answer was "No, no, nononononono." He didn't like his role with that movie at all. He was super-psyched to do Deadpool as he's been wanting to do it right since they f-d it up in the Wolverine movie.

Yeah he seems like an okay guy and he doesn't seem to have a problem mocking his past roles.
Man though, he's done some bad movies.
Van Wilder wasn't that bad. It was by no means a great movie, but it had moments. The only one I remember offhand is Eric Estrada 'auditioning' to be his assistant and adjusting his toupee obviously...I did LOL at that.
Not sure if the time-specific link will work, but it's at around the 1:36 mark. ;D
I'm all for self deprecation. I use it often. And I'm a smart ass. And mean to boot. So, I have no room to talk. And he may be an alright guy in real life, but, his actor portrayals have left me disliking him immensely. Jim Carrey does the same thing for me. So some of the hate is on me.
Well opinions vary and all that, but it is a tad unfair to judge a man based on his roles. He isn't a bad actor. I actually haven't seen any of those films you mentioned with the exception of Amityville, in which I thought he acted rather well for what it's worth, even if it was yet another unnecessary remake. I've also seen Buried which was purely a vehicle for him and he smashed it.
I honestly believe that to a greater or lesser extent, what you see an actor portray in the way of emotions, physical mannerisms and facial expressions, is indicative of their true selves. I understand that the role and director both play large parts in what you see presented to you, but, part of it is genuine and the vibe that I get from some actors just turns me off because of that. So it's totally on me. As I grow older, I find myself looking at things from different perspectives and trying things I wouldn't have done in the past, so, maybe Deadpool will change my mind. Some actors are born to play a role. And many people think this is it for Ryan.
I'm actually growing more inclined to watch the film myself after hearing all the buzz. I hated the trailer so had no interest but it's starting to sound like an amazing film by all accounts. :)
kermode of all people loved it
Not too shabby

I wasn't feeling too well today but the kids were dying to see Deadpool, so I relented and took them.
Holy hell was that a GOOD movie. I mean, right from the smart-ass credits to the homage bit at the end of the trailers. Very rarely does a movie just fly right by because I'm so engaged in it.
Rotten Tomatoes had 84% of critics like it and 95% of audience members like it. I am going to see this one within the next 2 weeks when I get a gap in my work schedule.
I have to add, back in the 80s or very early 90s, if I saw a movie at the theater that I liked, I'd go back multiple times. I haven't done that since then. For Deadpool, I wouldn't hesitate to go see it again if I had someone to go with that wanted to as well.

Has he started calling his showers "dates"?
we saw it today and it was a fun fucking movie! I hope its the new style.

Remember that b/c Deadpool is from the "mutant side" of the Marvel Universe, it's a totally different studio/company than the Iron Man - Thor - Captain America side
Enjoyed it.
They spent just a bit too much time on the flashback stuff IMO, but not gonna complain much because the comedy in the rest was pretty good.
So some of you actually went to see it rather than sit here talking about Reynolds? I'm impressed.
I saw it again on Monday. Outstanding - even the second time. O0
:P
MD, I think you'd get a good laugh out of the movie. Reynolds and the movie both take digs at a couple of his past roles. One is during the opening credits. :2funny:
Are there puns? >:D

Better late than never, Gus!
My only real complaint about it was that they obviously didn't put much into the soundtrack.
I don't normally give a damn about soundtracks, but this thing only has two songs. And they play them repeatedly throughout the whole flick. Therefore, after hearing "Shoop" for the fourth time, the accursed thing got stuck in my head for a day or two.
A bit more variety in the sequel, people! So I don't have to be mentally assaulted by TLC and DMX afterward. :knuppel2:
That pain was well worth it, to see the movie!
I forgot to say that a friend and I went and saw this last Monday (Feb. 22). Loved it; we couldn't stop laughing.
The only critiques I noticed are overall quite minor: Some of the more self-referential and/or fourth-wall humor did feel a little...forced/overdone, and the villain was two-dimensional to the point of being cartoonish, but honestly that's about all I can think of. No doubt fans of the comic books would find more to criticize, but I personally found little to complain about. O0
I saw it for the 3rd time yesterday and it was as hilarious as the first time.

I'm a BIG fan of the comics, especially the Marvel Zombie run that featured Deadpool. I have nothing to criticize, personally. The movie captured the Deadpool comic experience very well for only being a 90-minute view into his world. There's of course much more to it (like the relationship Deadpool has with Blind Al, and many other things), but like I said, they hit just about everything about the Deadpool comics that I loved, and the self-disparaging humor (especially towards his playing GL) was just frosting on the cake.
Why Stephen Lang should be cast as Cable in second Deadpool movie. (http://moviepilot.com/posts/3791498)
Definitely. O0
Although they need to get to it before his face continues aging too much.
Cable's face looks pretty dang aged all the time anyway (depending on the artist), so that won't be a problem.
My wife and I saw Deadpool for the first time this evening.
Wonderful romantic comedy! Boy finds girl. Boy gets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy eventually gets the girl back.
Lots of kissing. Beautiful pull-away, wide angle shot with romantic Wham! music in the background!
We loved it. Best movie I've seen in several years.
Wife wanted to go see it for her birthday, so we went to see it. It's the most entertained I'd been at a movie in years.
The post-credit moment was the bomb-shizzle, too - as soon as we saw the hallway we knew what was coming ;D
I'm fighting off some bronchitis right now, so laughing too hard sets off a coughing fit. I'm going to have to see it again when not sick so I can catch all the lines I laughed through.
The knife-in-the-skull slow mo moment, on the pavement, was pretty romantic, huh? And goddamn hilarious. :2funny:
I didn't realize the comedic writing brilliance came from the same guys who wrote the Zombieland script until after seeing it. Now I'm not so surprised it has been successul. O0
This film continues to destroy box office records the way Star destroys goats
http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/deadpool-just-passed-man-of-steel-and-iron-man-at-the-box-office
I don't think I want to see either then.

They put out a one moth "anniversary" trailer. ;D
The marketing for that movie has been genius.
Finally got around to watching Deadpool. Great stuff. Ryan Reynolds has definitely redeemed himself from his past movie failures.
Too bad there's no way in hell I can let the kids watch it. My 7 year old son has asked about it several times.
my 13-yo has asked, and we've said "no"
Hell, there were parts of it that made me cringe. No way the kids can watch it. Not for many years.
I told Mrs Bayonet that he gets to watch it when he's 27. Maybe.
