OT: Deadpool is fantastic.

[LTblows]

Honors the character, and doesn't try to be more than it is. Looking forward to the sequel.

Don't bring the kiddos, though. It's R for a reason.

Really? It looked kind of lame to me, but I am a Ryan Reynolds fan.

 

[Jgbishop]

I thought it was excellent. It was Tarantino-esque in gore but very comical as well. I'm told this is the kind of self awareness Deadpool has in the comics but I've never read them.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Everyone I know that has seen it says it's great and very true to character.

 

[LTblows]

Yeah, in the comics, he is self-aware that he's in a comic. All of the other characters are always like "Who are you talking to?" or "What are you talking about?" and then he just goes on back into the story.

And it has Gina Carano in it. Oof!

This movie was Ryan Reynolds's labor of love. I think he tried for 10 or 11 years to make the film, but the studio didn't green-light it until some test footage got leaked two years ago and fans went wild for it.

On another note- his Twitter account for the past 6 months has been in-character the whole time.

Yes and the fake Deadpool in Xmen Origins.

 

[LTblows]

Yes, and multiple times in the movie, they make fun of that Green Lantern movie. It's a big bucket of WIN.

 

[StillTbonewannabe]

One of the best comic book movies and easily the funniest. It definitely earns every bit of the R rating for sex and violence.

Damn my V-Day date for wanting to see Zoolander 2!!

 

[Junction John]

Well, how was Z2? The trailer looked pretty terrible.*

Damn my V-Day date for wanting to see Zoolander 2!!

Do yourself a favor

Damn my V-Day date for wanting to see Zoolander 2!!

A man and a woman and a 6 year old kid sat in the row in front of me last night.

I felt a helluva lot better about my parenting skills after seeing that.

Most unexpected fun I've had in a movie since Zombieland. I'm actually shocked it ever got made. He roasts everybody... right down to Fox-Marvel and the budget they gave him.

It's not about saving the world either, which is refreshing in a comic book movie. It's a simple story with a great character.

And it got me googling International Women's Day to make sure I've got a reason to be gone on business then....

Were there any roided up brazilian robots in the movie kicking her ***?
