Have you watched Dead Pool yet?

It's another Marvel super hero movie but extremely violent, vulgar, sexist and FUN. I loved it! According to the critics, who overwhelmingly panned it, it's going to appeal only to adolescents and the strange. They got it half right!

It was hysterical.

Loved it.

Who cares what the critics think.

It's absolutely trounced every other X-Men release to date.

$600+ Million global box office receipts as of last week.

My wife and I went last night. We both thought is was funny as hell. Your description about was spot on. I guess that puts my wife and I in the "strange" catagory. A lot of baby boomer humor went right over the heads of young people sitting around us.

Its not going to win any academy awards, but for a fun movie after happy hour drinks, worth the price of admission.

Best movie so far this year. Ryan Renolds was as good in deadpool as he was bad in the green lantern. Great fun movie.

Just saw it for the third time with friends. Thought it was great, except for the couple who brought their 7 or 8 year old daughter. REALLY?!

My wife and I both thought it was a hoot. We had to dump the kids off with Grandma and Grandpa but that's what they're there for.

Maybe I'm getting jaded, but my one complaint is that I felt the CGI for Colossus didn't seem particularly well done.

Blake Lively made Green lantern great. hell, her just standing there undulating would mesmerize me enough to ignore Ryan.

have not seen DeadPool yet.

i liked it. but in the spirit of nitpicking,


deadpool needed a better villain. should have been someone as over the top as the hero. instead it was just a hans gruber rip off who could throw a punch.

Funniest movie I've seen in awhile. Even better if you don't mind slicing and dicing. Since its been out a month I thought the 2:30 would be great. And of course some idiot parents brought their kids. Really?

Very fun film. The first thing I've gone to see twice in theaters since the first Matrix movie. I've liked Morena Bacarrin since her Firefly days and this is the best I've seen her since then. Hope she gets to continue the role in the sequel.

***** Spoiler alert..*********


Finally saw it yesterday, and it was great entertainment.

I did notice two things though.



*********** Spoiler alert, but don't read this if you haven't seen it..***********








What happened to the girl villain after Colossus carries her out of the rubble?? They never showed her again? I thought that was very weird that they didn't show what happened to her after that huge fight scene.

And very bad editing on the scene where Reynolds has Francis on the ground near the end. One second his face is all bloodied up and the next time they show him, hardly nothing and then it flip flopped back and forth like that a few times. Ridiculously noticeable.


I guess it's not really a spoiler to mention those things, but you can PM me as to not spoil this for anyone else who hasn't seen it yet if you think it might be...

I noticed the missing "villain" at the end as well... Maybe she ran away???

I thought it was odd after DP got stabbed in the right side of his head, the wound flip-flopped right - left - right as he was fighting with francis.

Still funny: "What's my name?" "oooooh imma fckn spell it out for you".

Finally rented it. Watched it twice. What a hoot.

Not generally a fan of the Marvel superhero stuff with the exception of Ironman and the first Captain America... oh, and Spider Man. Just wasn't into X-Men.

Deadpool grabbed me from the opening credits... "Directed by an Overpaid Tool." Aren't they all?

Took them many years to get it greenlighted.
