Here’s a weird idea: Fox should just release 2 versions of Deadpool 2: one PG-13 and one R. These releases are on over 4000 screens, shouldn’t be difficult to see which one does better if they really wanted to know.
I’m surprised the theater didn’t post some sort of warning, or the ticket-taker people didn’t say something.
Granted it was opening weekend, but there were signs everywhere stating how bad it was and both Ms. Cups and I (she 26, me 29) were carded to make sure we were of age. Maybe they toned that down because they assume people have heard about it by now.
Sorry that it didn’t work out for you though 
I heard T.J. Miller speaking about the scene and there were tons of lines thrown around that didn’t make it. The entire crew got into it.
Then maybe I’m complete pervert because nothing made me squirm.
Me, either (well, not any of the sex stuff…the violence was a little bit up there for me), but I don’t have kids, so that may be a difference. I personally thought the Calendar Girl montage was awesome, and just about fell on the floor laughing at the pegging segment. The masturbation jokes were only really funny because hey, it’s Deadpool.
I’m trying to think what they would have had to do to get an NC-17 - or what the ‘unrated’ version would have ??
Parents that took young kids to the film only have themselves to blame -Deadpool himself BEGGED parents to think twice.
More Reynolds butt? Reynolds penis in more than one dimly-lit, very quick-moving fight scene? (Ooh…now I have to petition for an NC-17 version!)
Saw the movie today. Loved it. Reynolds was perfect. Colossus as the goody-two-shoes straight man was amazing, especially his monologue at the end with Wade refusing to give a single fuck. Negasonic Teenage Warhead was as awesome as Wade thought her name was. Props to Karan Soni (who I’ve seen in the Red Dwarf-esque Yahoo series ‘Other Space’) as Dapinder. I was especially pleased that Deadpool retained his fourth-wall-breaking abilities, and I loved the fact that despite being more or less two straight hours of blood, tits, toilet humor, and CGI action, it was at its core a love story with a happy ending.
I got a chuckle out of the fact that there was a six-pack of Olympia tallboys on the shelf in Weasel’s bar.
I finally saw it last week. It was fine. I didn’t love it, but I felt the same way coming out of Iron Man so that tells you my tastes do not often align with the mainstream.
I’m not a fan of ‘R’ rated content as a rule, and I thought most of the comedy fell flat*, especially the fourth-wall stuff. It really tried, and far be it for me to pass negative judgement when it’s been so overwhelmingly popular, because it really wasn’t a bad film, it entertained me just fine, but in the end my review is: it was nothing special.
*I think that about most comedy movies these days. It’s changed into something that I’m just not “getting” anymore. I still like many TV comedies, so I don’t know what’s up with the movies.
I saw it last week and I would have preferred ANY story than the one we got.
Frankly, I haven’t been this bored with a film in quite some time. I believe it’s because for an action film (for want of a better term) there’s no conflict. None. Sure, they tried to shoehorn some sympathetic scenes, but they fall pretty flat (you can’t have sympathy scenes withe characters that have no dimensions, and Wade and Vanessa’s characters are paper thin)
Besides all that, I guess I could have gotten something out of this film, if it wasn’t for all the repetitive scenes. Every scene, in the beginning and at the end are the same. Hundreds of nameless henchmen getting killed an the two main protagonists, who can’t be killed or for that matter, harmed fighting. So, where’s the conflict or drama with characters who can’t die?
And if Wade can regenerate limbs, why the hell can’t he regenerate his scarred skin? I can deal with fantasy attributes with fictional characters, but if you
create ground rules (regenerating body parts) you got to stay consistent.
Oh well, hope “Captain America”,** “Dr. Strange”** and the “X-men” films later this year make up for this missfire.
I just assumed the appearance of his skin is a side effect of his mutation. Deadpool’s skin isn’t scarred any more than Colossus’ is. It’s just much uglier.
Yes, one of my friends said it was a rom-com, after all. 
In the comics, the random bumps are there because Wade can heal from anything, but so can his cancer. He heals. His cancer heals. The cancer gets shoved out of critical systems, but lumps aren’t critical, so that’s where it ends up.
Great movie. Was utterly shocked at how many kids <15 and many <10 there were in the audience (fully 25% in a packed theater), especially when it’s been out this long.
Saw Deadpool a few days back with my 16-year-old son. He knew a lot more about the character than I did. I was surprised by how raunchy it was (A pegging joke? Masturbating over a unicorn? Really?) but the ultraviolence was about what I expected. Loved all the jokes, bad pop music and fourth-wall breakage. A fun superhero spoof - I’ve already recommended it to others.
Yeah, those were great. Especially the “Produced by: Some Douchebags” credit. To the tune of Juice Newton, no less!
Being taken apart for scrapping, I assumed.
Unbelievable. Some pinheads brought their very young child along to see Saving Private Ryan when I first saw it in theaters. What were they thinking?
This is worth a look re: the movie’s Easter eggs: http://moviepilot.com/posts/3777643
They should really have some kind of system where they post a rating of recommended age ranges with a bit of information about it, like this rating is “for strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity.” Maybe if they’re really serious about it, they should require kids to have a parent or guardian with them for some movies. I don’t know how anyone could come up with such a system or get theaters to use it, though.
That’s about how I felt. It seemed to fall into the fairly common mistake of thinking that swearing and pop culture references are inherently funny even in the absence of any actual jokes.
It’s our generation’s version of the three stooges. Not all comedy comes from jokes!
Finally saw this over the weekend. Laughed my ass off. For some reason, Wade and Blind Al arguing over Ikea furniture put me into tears.
As regards the R rating - last weekend, I drove my 16 year old daughter and one of her friends (also 16) to see this movie. I wasn’t going to see it then, because I had other plans, and having read the parental guides I wasn’t going to embarrass all of us by seeing it with them. They wouldn’t let the two of them see the movie unless I went in with them. They called a manager over too to confirm the policy. She claimed it wasn’t unique to this movie, but I’ve definitely brought them to R rated movies before at this same theater before without an issue.
I just saw Deadpool yesterday, and I was wondering if his origin and appearance were different in the comic books. Because in the movie he did look burned and bad, but not so hideously disfigured that he was impossible to look at. I didn’t know if he avoided seeing Vanessa because he was that shallow, or because he thought she was, or if maybe in the comic books he is absolutely horrible looking but they couldn’t or didn’t replicate that in the movie.
Regarding the movie, I thought it was fine, nothing amazing but entertaining enough. It reminded me of Shoot 'Em Up with the cartoonish violence, but I liked Shoot 'Em Up a lot better. And Deadpool was funny, but a lot of the jokes weren’t jokes as much as references. I will be interested to see what Deadpool 2 is like though. It could be better with them not having to waste time with the origin story, I’m hoping that’s the case.
