The King in Black Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 5 minutes ago, Pony Queen Jace said: I don't think this was aimed so heavily at the teenage boy as you're suggesting. I'm not a teenage boy, I went and saw the film with 5 other people who are not teenage boys, and I actually saw mostly adults and the occasional bad parent with their small child. In fact, the demographic breakdown I saw of this film was primarily 20+ 55% male and 45% female. Exactly. Deadpool turned out to be one of those smart movies that use your expectations against you and to it's advantage. The marketing to was carefully devised to generate maximum curiosity in all viewers. There's something great for everybody there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vast probably I mean, those are two great films, which transcend the rather limited range of their genre. Or at least that's what I think I bet you and I aren't the only one in here with those films in their top three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Deadpool was pure juvenile. My point is, it started off a little like that, and needed to warm up a bit before I felt comfortable laughing at it. It raced along at 100mph for the first 10 minutes and I started to cringe at some of the lines, but later on I was laughing out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbreakable is great, but I'm not sure it can be categorized as a superhero flick, wholly. I mean it gets there eventually, but I'm not sure it fits the genre as a whole.

I feel like The Dark Knight and Unbreakable are almost impossible to oust from their positions, but Avengers and Cap 2 are certainly beatable for that third spot. I'll give you The Dark Night, but Unbreakable? First off, it is most certainly not a comic book movie.Secondly, it was a good movie the first time through. watchable the second time with the understanding of the twist, and then a total snoozefest any other viewing. This is not unlike many early M Night films. (I smell dead people.) To me, the best superhero movie ever made starred Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, and Margot Kidder, but I will freely admit it is for nostalgia reason. The first Richard Donner Superman movie was released when I was a kid, and I have never again captured that kind of magic in a movie theatre during a superhero movie. Objectively, I'm not sure it is top ten, but it most certainly is my number one. Deadpool Doesn't break the top 5 on my list, but it most certainly was a fantastic movie, and one that I will be seeing multiple times. post script... I hope no one takes offence to me bickering with Veltigar in this Entertainment subforum, I seem to be the Joe Bob Briggs to his Roger Ebert sometimes. As a personal note, I would like it to be known that I have a lot of respect for how he writes about and communicates his obvious love for cinema. I keep that respect, even when my mouth is agape because of how polar opposite our opinions are quite frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of that movie featured one of the most hilarious sequences ever to be put in a comic book movie. How dare you talk bad about the lead singer of Mouse Rat !!!! Are you talking about the dance off thing? Because that was wretched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanidePie Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The best exchange in this movie was- Colossus (dragging Deadpool across the ground): Let's go talk to The Professor. Deadpool: McAvoy or Stewart? This timeline is so confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I never thought I'd hear a Dutch oven joke referenced at Meredith Baxter Burney .... Holy fuck this movie was spectacular.... This one I'll buy as soon as it comes out because I know I missed a ton of great shit because I was already laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guess who's back Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Just watched it. So glad it was R rated. I hope it keeps killing it in the box office. Fuck PG-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKitttenGuard Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Opening with the Juice Newton song. Credits are praised but the opening song set the mood. Colossus looks to fit right with Deadpool movie world. Deadpool- Ripley, Alien 3 Negasonic: You're Old. The baby hand was great way to show that major injuries took real time to heal. Happy International Women's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Didn't feel the love. Felt like a teenage boy softcore porn, down to the hot ex prostitute and stripper deciding that ass face was totally fine to get with despite making her think he was dead for two years and having a face like an asshole. And not a porn asshole, one of those ones you hear about from your nurse friends that work in the ER. It was fine and funny but I feel fairly bad for enjoying it.

Kalbear Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Possibly. I didn't hate it or anything. Just thought there really wasn't much there and what there was pretty much had been covered by Matthew Vaughn and Frank Miller and mark Millar having ass babies.

CyanidePie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Can we talk about how cool it was that they were fighting on a SHIELD helicarrier at the end of the movie? I would have loved a joke about "let's all meet at the carrier that crash landed from another universe" but apparently Marvel told FOX that they couldn't even refer to it as a helicarrier.

Corvinus85 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 But at least they allowed them to make one. Marvel and Sony finally made a deal about Spider-man, now maybe it's time for a deal with Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I loved that film. Possibly the best film I've seen in a long time. Sick, disturbing and so much fun. I love all of the bits where Deadpool would randomly just break the 4th wall and talk to the audience. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
