I think Fury Road earned its R rating for nothing other than a couple “fucks”, it really wasn’t an R rated movie at all. Absolutely no where near Deadpool.
Perhaps I should have used over the top instead of cartoonish. That’s the impression I got from the trailers. More brutal than Robocop or The Walking Dead? And how explicit is the sex? I’m not sure what their mileage on sex scenes is. I don’t recall showing them anything too racy.
The violence is Robocop level, but the movie is a comedy so it comes across completely differently. The sex is uh… short of actual penetration, a little more than standard skinemax fare?
I think it’s fair to compare the violence to Tarantino. Meant to be graphic for laughs.
They don’t show much nudity (outside of a fully-nude strip club), but Wade does get pegged.
Plus a lot of talk about sex, or references to fucking, jerking off, etc. Enough so that if I were 14 I don’t think I’d want to be watching with my parent next to me. Hell even as a 47 year old I’m not sure I’d want to watch it with my parents. 
Saw it over the weekend with Ms. Cups and we both thought it was quite funny. She seemed to really love it. I don’t think this’ll change much when it comes to superhero movies or their popularity, but I think it’s cool that a superhero movie came out with a hard R. Also cool that adults have a superhero movie to go to too.
I look forward to the sequel, especially because of Cable
Would not take a 9 year old to see it.
I saw it today. It was filthy, violent, raunchy and amoral…and I. LOVED. EVERY. SINGLE. MINUTE. OF IT.
(It was also kinda sweetly romantic.)
I have some FB friends who were warning other parents of teenagers that <gasp> this movies really is sooooo hoooorrrrible. I really wanted to post “Honey, your 17 y.o. son has seen WAAAAAY worse than this online. Trust me.”
And to put my .11 in on the topic, I would like to say that I am absolutely no prude, but even I would not take an 11 y.o. to see that movie.
We saw it over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ryan Reynolds was just about perfect.
The most disturbing part - during the Purge 3(?) preview, several people near us told the people with them how awesome the Purge movies are. I find it pretty appalling that people want to watch those.
I came home and told my 13yo there is no chance he’s watching it anytime soon. I think the raunchiest thing he’s seen is 21 Jump Street - he can wait a couple of years to see Deadpool.
Was that a wrecked Helicarrier they were fighting on at the end?
Sure looked like it to me.
We just saw it. To quote Mr. Pool: “That. Was. AWESOOOOME!”
I lost it during the scene with the tiny hand. Ryan Reynolds was perfect casting. Sarcasm humor is hilarious. It definitely is on my “I’d watch it again” litmus test.
It looked like a perfectly standard air craft carrier to me.
Loved it. Didn’t think I could ever say that about a movie with both Ryan Reynolds and T. J. Miller in it, but there you go.
My friends and I thought it was a helicarrier as well.
I just saw it. I assumed the ship at the end was a cargo ship. (And, by the way, during that final battle, I thought there was a moment where Vanessa was hit by a falling container. So I was surprised that she was almost completely uninjured. Almost everyone else was superpowered but not her.
It absolutely was a helicarrier. It had giant nacelles attached to it. It looked like it was either being assembled or taken apart.
I thought it was great. Deadpool really is the perfect comic book character for Ryan Reynolds (much in the same way that Green Lantern and Hannibal King weren’t) and you could tell he was having a lot of fun with the character.
I took my sixteen year old to it. But I’ve played Cards Against Humanity with my sixteen year old - I’m not under a lot of illusions about what she knows and doesn’t know (nor is she under the impression that her mother had sex once to conceive her).
I wouldn’t have taken her three years ago.
The violence is not bad, the sex is a little over the top - the language would have really been the issue a few years ago - kids go through a stage where they aren’t sure what is appropriate language, its that stage at which I wouldn’t have wanted to send the mixed signal of “this is fucking hilarious - don’t use that work around your grandmother.”
