Deadpool

So, this is now officially the highest-earning R-rated movie of all time, grossing $745m worldwide and beating the previous record holder 'The Matrix Reloaded'. Which I actually had no clue was an R-rated movie.

It's pretty amazing and it's the highest grossing of all X-Men movies too.

Tim Miller back directing!

I pre-ordered Deadppol and it should be here tomorrow.

I haven't seen it yet, but I have heard & read really goods things about the film.

I just watched Dead Pool.

This was just a fun film and loved the tone of the movie. I loved the soundtrack too.

Man, am I the only one who hated this or are the people who didn't like it just keeping their mouth shut? I felt like punching the director in the face. I can't shake the feeling that they've made a movie for adolescent boys that only the adults are able to see.

3/10 for me.

Dead Pool was made for fans of the character and stayed true to the character. I guess some people wouldn't like that instead of trying for mass appeal.

Read the first post on this page because the movie was ultimately a huge success.

I thought Dead Pool was refreshing because I have comic book movie fatigue. For me the Marvel comic book movies were starting to get boring even though they are ultimately building & intertwining the stories for a grandiose payoff at the end.

This was a very pleasant surprise. This and Ant-man both were finally something a bit different from the Marvel universe.

I hope for much more of the same. Glad it's already getting a sequel.

The thing about Deadpool is that he's a pretty niche character who doesn't have a great deal of recognition beyond very specific circles. Fox's marketing department made up for that by bringing in viewers who were just as interested in seeing it as a raunch comedy as they were in seeing it as a superhero story.

I wouldn't say it worked because it was R-rated though, far from it. I think it worked because it was anarchic and irreverent and used the freedom of that rating to amp up those elements. It took advantage of existing inside a known universe and subverting it, a bit like punk rock kicking against a more corporate product.

I agree with the notion of Marvel fatigue.

Especially when it comes to their huge, ensemble films.

My favorite two of the past couple of years have been "Deadpool" and "Ant-man", precisely because they were smaller in scale and different from the rest.

Absolutely fell in love with this movie... Watched it last night for the first time.

When I first saw his face I initially thought of Freddy Kruger....and then Bam....minutes later there's a Freddy Kruger reference. Love it!
