I ended up ordering it from Sky - 17e, always on the box (pretty useless) but they post the dvd out and it is to land on Friday

Wouldn't mind but I was in a Golden Discs last Friday, saw the blu-ray and thought "nah I'll pick it up soon. It'll be everywhere." :P

I got this lovely thing from zavvi



Must say, I liked this movie a lot more the second time.

There are a couple regarding a change in the script regarding a longer timeline.
The longest involves Wade and Vanessa

at a cancer clinic in Mexico

.

The others are extended scenes that were cut. Some good jokes all the same.

just watched it, ****ing hilarious!!!

Deadpool was recently nominated for a Clios Key Art Award, which probably doesn't mean much to anyone outside of the movie industry. For fans of Deadpool, it does mean that we get a little more new action from the Merc With a Mouth and a great breakdown of how 20th Century Fox and the team behind Deadpool were able to so successfully market the movie. Be warned, the video is very NSFW, as it very well should be.

The video has been pulled by Fox from YouTube but it's still up here and is definitely worth a watch!

Im delighted. Personally this was my film of the year(and I honestly expected to hate it).

I assume the above is a pisstake. 2016 has killed my sarcasm meter

*Edit* I should have quoted the post I was referring to. Ninja deleted

Could it sneak into the best picture race at Oscars, would it be the first comic book film if it does?

You can't really give out about deadpool breaking the fourth wall when it's a major part of his shtick.

Started watching it last week. Turned it off midway.. absolute rubbish.…using other words would have required lots of symbols replacing letters !!

Mr Arrior

Fantastic movie. Reynolds was superb. Hilarious.

techdiver

Whilst I enjoyed the movie, it has to be the most over rated movie in quite some time.

It's a decent movie, but the level of gushing over it is confusing imho.

Arne_Saknussem

Boring, by the numbers Superhero fare which relies almost completely on it's heavy use of meta humour and 4th wall breaks .

The script is like something written by a couple of snickering 12 year olds. To be avoided.

You should at least familiarise yourself with the source material before you slate it though.
It is tonally linked to the source and, for fans of that, it hits the sweet spot for the main

It's like a criticism I heard from a person after Rouge Squadron "FFS it has talking fish people!" or course it fecking does, it is Star Wars!

Do i have to read Henry Hill's book before i can give an opinion on Goodfellas?

If the source material is anything like the film i think i'll pass.

Slating its scripts tone? Yes as it is how the character is.


It's like giving out that Ironman is a douche or that Spiderman is a wiseass, that is the character not just a film version

****, badly written character in any medium is still a ****, badly written character.

To be fair, it's preposterous to suggest familiarity with the source material is necessary to critique or come to a conclusion on any given film. And it's not likely the conceit of Deadpool is particularly complex anyway - smarmy, fourth wall breaking Marvel anti-hero about covers the basics?

I thought this was an unfunny, derivative (even within its own wink wink nudge nudge approach), crass and just generally blandly made film, probably the worst I saw in 2016 (I did make an effort to avoid most of the garbage released, so I'm sure there was worse) - and I'm not sure how reading a few comics would change that assessment. People who didn't like the film shouldn't have to give it a pass because that's just how the character is.

Critique of the tone of a film as being purile (when that is the characters selling point) is crazy.

Your second paragraph is a comment on the film and is fine. There are far too many people complaining about the character and its traits, which is crazy to me.
IT was all over the marketing, the interviews, the comics, games, cartoons, and well everywhere. Hell the leaked footage should have been enough.
Again it is as mad to me as that Star Wars critique, for having aliens FFS.

I have to agree with Cork_Exile and trying to be objective and rule out the fact I am an avid reader of the comics, I would say yeah, you can slate the film for everything bar the way the main character acts because the source material was so closely kept to.

This film really was made for the nerds like me, it might aswell have been lifted from the pages of a comic and to be fair to Johnny and Arne if you didn't like this you'd hate the comics.

There was also a major issue where Fox really pulled the rug out from under these guys with the budget.

Nervous Wreck

Indeed. While I don't think anyone should have to be familia with the comics to enjoy the movie, it's hardly fair to go see a movie about a "smarmy, fourth wall breaking Marvel anti-hero" and complain that the movie sucked because it was about a smarmy, fourth wall breaking Marvel anti-hero. If I'm reading cork exiles point as that, then I agree.

I have several friends who go see Thor movies and say to me "I don't like superhero movies but I went to see Thor anyway and it was shît." I just don't understand that weird attitude. It's like me eating liquorice, which I abhor, just so I can tell my liquorice-loving friends that their tastes are wrong...

Arne_Saknussem

The point being that it was an unfunny 'smarmy 4th wall breaking anti-hero' in a film full of cardboard stock characters and meta humour. That's all there was, there's nothing else to the film.

I don't care if it was faithful to the source material or not, if you're tired of the frat-boy dick jokes and spot the trope after 5 mins this film is a long, drawn out, tedious chore to sit through that doesn't have a single idea or moment of originality of it's own.

Exhibit A for the argument "Nerds don't make good Art", see Cabin in the Woods for an example in the horror genre!

Wait! Are you making this argument!? That can't be a real argument! Stephen Spielberg, JJ Abrams, Edgar Wright, Sam Raimi, never made good art? I'm not calling them nerds derisively, but I'm sure they spent their childhoods reading comics, sci-fi and playing with cameras, certainly behaviour that you could call nerdy.

Telling the origin story thru flashbacks was original, I can't remember seeing it done before, and it worked really well for me.

Snake Plisken

Jesus Christ I have never read a Deadpool comic but I knew what I was gettting from the trailers, if you didn't know the type of film Deadpool was going to be that's your own fault! To me and all of the folks who went to see it I knew exactly what I was going to watch and thankfully it lived up to the promise of the trailers!

Nervous Wreck

Now? This concept has been around in theatre for about 600 years....

I guess that depends on how we frame the word 'nerd'.

I'm not talking about directors who have displayed what some would consider nerdish behaviour at times, more that their output is almost entirely based on displaying that they know in minute detail whatever throwback their source material is based on, to the detriment of any originality.

Abrams imo, is a hack. Speilberg & Raimi have done some very good work.

Shaun of the Dead is alright but it's no Return of the Living Dead.

I'm not giving out about the type of film it is i'm giving out that it's predictable, unfunny & repetitive.

I see quite a few films without having seen any trailers or whatever it is the scripts are based on, this doesn't stop me from forming and expressing an opinion.

Osmosis Jones

Possibly my favourite superhero movie of the year, but in saying that it doesn't hold up to a second viewing. Once you know the punchlines the movie falls a bit flat, but seeing it for the first time was really fantastic.

Deadpool is on Channel 4 at 9pm on Saturday
