Deadpool

brianregan09

Went to the midnight screening in the Odeon in Limerick last night and was blown away by the crowds both showings were nearly full and the atmosphere was something else people were clapping moments in the film and there was an ovation at the end ,, It was really awesome being in such an alive cinema full of fans of the character there was on girl even dressed as lady deadpool

The movie was perfect probably one of the most accurate portrayal of a comic book character ever not neutered not changed around , Just bang on, Anyone who's read a deadpool comic will know whats going on and get it straight away

I think for regular cinema goers some people might find parts confusing

4th wall breaking and mentioning of other movies

but should still get most of the humour

That Liam Neeson line alone had me in bits

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Absolutely loved it. Will definitely be catching it a few more times before it leaves the cinema.

Wed afternoon 4:30 showing cinema 3/4 full. Leaving cinema and people were lining up for the 6:45 show.

Great atmosphere throughout, Reynolds nailed the performance.

I never trust any reviews from papers or websites cause the reviewers are normally wrong and i generally trust comments by people here on boards for more accurate thoughts on a film. With that in mind my comment for anyone undecided about seeing this is go see it! Very enjoyable, funny and violent. It's what other superhero movies could or should be if they were left off their PG leashes.

Also:

Were they fighting on the Avengers helicarrier at the end? First glance thought it was an ordinary aircraft carrier but there was one or two shots where you could see helicarrier type engines near the back. Be class if it was!

It was definitely some sort of helicarrier

Watched this last night; fantastic film and excellent performance! Thanks for that!

Really enjoyed this, you could tell Reynolds really had a lot of fun making it, perhaps a little too much at times as he gets a little too confident in his character towards the end I felt. It's a really minor complaint as some of the lines had me in absolute stitches, I feel like they nailed the character and that's a huge fecking relief! Solid movie, deserving of a sequel that will surely get more than the $50 million budget this one had.
8/10

As a side note, I feel like this movie will do really well. If that's the case then I hope we get more "R" rated movies rather than the censored watered down PG 13 shíte that's been pumped out for certain other movies in recent times.

Shlippery

One word. Deadly.

Few more words, hilarious, enjoyable, captivating, cinematic masterpiece.

Good time had by all.

KillerShamrock

Gotta echo most of whats being said here I though it was bang on the nose for a deadpool movie.

Breath of fresh air for the superhero movies too 4th wall

16th wall

the jokes, references and the violence (not too over the top) and even nudity :pac:.

I will be getting the directors cut blu ray the second its out

johnny_ultimate

What do you get when you combine a low-rent, generic superhero movie with a few smarmy, self-aware jokes? You mostly get a low-rent, generic superhero movie with smarmy, self-aware jokes. In other words, you get Deadpool. It's actually not even a very good generic superhero movie. In fact it's a really, really bad one. Poorly directed, cheaply put together and lacking even a basic semblance of tension, intrigue or cohesion. The action is bland, the CGI is terrible, and the supporting characters completely uninteresting. It runs through the motions, and occasionally making a joke about how you're going through the motions doesn't make it any better. It pretends to shirk conventions by making light of them, but really most of the time merely falls in line. Something like Jessica Jones is far less 'meta', but through its actions feels like a far more engaged and knowing response to prevalent trends and tropes in superhero fiction. That's not even going into something like Super which actively subverts expectations.

^^^Get a load of this tool! Trying to pick apart a silly superhero movie on an Irish internet forum. Biting! What the hell did you expect from a Deadpool movie? An Icelandic comic-drama about two feuding brothers and their sheep? That's over in the other cinema, douchebag!

You can add a ****ty love story there as well. Those Valentines posters were clearly intended as a joke, but they're not all that far off the mark either - this isn't too far from the sweet but crude rom-coms like Bridesmaids. There's an earnest and largely straight-played romance here, albeit with a few jokes about balls and face-sitting thrown in. Problem is, nowhere near enough space is given to allow it any sort of genuine credibility or emotional impact despite a genuine attempt to add some emotional weight to it. And sadly despite some early indications to the contrary (hell, in a trailer she says "I've played a lot of roles, damsel in distress ain't one of them"!), Morena Baccarin's character eventually ends up just being another 'superhero's love interest', waiting to be kidnapped. Give us actual characters if you want something to have any sort of impact.

Question: If Morena Baccarin came knocking on your door, would you actually care if she was an 'actual character' or not? Didn't think so. Deadpool: 1. Douchebag: zero.

The film feels like a lazy attempt at hitting an 'R rating' as if an 'R rating' is something inherently edgy. So you have gratuitous nudity, blink-and-you'll-miss-'em shots of cartoon gore, swearing and gratuitous nudity. A notable proportion of the audience who will really appreciate that are probably too young to get in in the first place, and honestly there's much better places to go if you're looking for it. Mostly, it's an attempt to fit an incredible amount of penis, blowjob and anal sex jokes in there. I've seen Seth Rogen starring Judd Apatow films that are less boorish than this.

Counter-point: Violence, sex and swearing are awesome. Also: Somebody needs a blowjob. Or at least some ball fondling. Also also: ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, **** (swear filter? really?)

This is purely subjective, but crucially for a film that sets itself up as a satire, Deadpool's biggest problem - beyond its rote storytelling, insipid direction and general lack of quality - is that it isn't funny. You can feel the writers' brains ticking over: 'quick, it's been 30 seconds since the last smartass quip. Better throw something in there'. The result is a comedy completely lacking in the unexpected, that has no sense of comedic flow. OK, the regenerating hand shot was pretty neat, but beyond that it's a film that seems content to simply throw out as many one-liners and already stale pop culture references as it can and see if they stick. For me anyway, none of them did.

Jesus Christ, somebody get this guy a Holocaust movie, ASAP!

Deadpool, basically, is crap.

And you're a prick *poo emoji*

friend and foe

just have to jump on the bandwagon and highly recommend this as well..

as a longtime fan, i was optimistic going in, seeing as the marketing and trailers were spot on, and it certainly didn't disappoint. spot on portrayal, sweet fight scenes straight from the panels, and the humour is just fantastic!

will definitely be catching it again in the cinema, and as a few others ahave pointed out before, this will be a day one director's cut blu ray purchase for sure, even if only for the extras and the hope of getting the 'deadpool commentary'

MilesMorales1

So I've sort of gone a bit further on my feelings about it, like 12 hours after watching it?

I came out of this movie today feeling kinda positive about it, then my feelings went down all day until now, when I realised no matter what this film has pretensions to be, its actually a bit rubbish, and tries to get by on the 18-rating and the swearing and violence and hilarious humour, when the film is in fact, a bit rubbish.

So the 'story' to use a generous term, is another superhero origin story. And there's literally nothing in it. There's barely a story. They could have told this crap in half the time it takes to tell it, guy gets powers with side effects, tries to find guy who can cure him, his girl gets kidnapped, he rescues girls, there's some stuff with the x-men, whatever, boring.
It tries to be edgy, it tries to be cool. People love parody and self referential humour these days, right? Well here's a whole movie of it! and when we do this, it means we don't need character or a story or arcs, we can just pretend its all a bit of a crap shoot and not bother with it! And here's some lame action scenes with bad CGI, thats funny as well! Did you know Ryan Reynolds played green lantern before? Well you do now, cos we're gonna bring it up a lot, along with every other superhero reference we can dig out of the grave! Lets have really poor filming, script, and cinematography!

I've seen Reynolds get a lot of praise for his performance, but he's ok. He's fine. Everyone else is crap. Boring. They do nothing, they have no characters, no nothing, they're shells of characters, that are filled in by nothing.
So Deadpool is.... there's an obvious pun here, but I won't make it. Deadpool sucks. What a let down.

If I was to compare this movie to any other, it would be naked gun. The plot exists for the jokes, in which I admit, I was chuckling the whole way through.

The only problem was, that the jokes at times were very much out of context with what was happening, so they did not sit naturally.

I enjoyed it for what it was, but I don't think I will remember too much. The opening credits were awesome though.

I have to say I enjoyed it. First time in a long while that I've witnessed an audience laughing that loud and hard during a film and it's the best craic I've had at the cinema in a while.

I don't see why people are complaining about the jokes. Yes they're crass and low brow but that's what this character is about imo.

Big recommendation from me. Might go see it again tbh

Adamocovic

Saw last night and loved it. Everyone in the cinema was laughing and it was the first time I have laughed that much in a long time watching films. Good to see the theatre was full and when leaving there was a line of people waiting to get in for he next showing.

Extremely happy with the film.

farna_boy

Saw it last night as well. Tbh I was really pessimistic about it before going to see it and wasn't sure about Ryan Reynolds. I think he is ok in general but sometimes can come across a bit over the top and I just wasn't sure it was going to work.

Must say though I thoroughly enjoyed it. Went with my girlfriend as well who would have seen other marvel movies and liked them but we both thought she would hate Deadpool, but she really liked it too, even if she didn't get some of the references.

I have been telling everyone I see today to go see it, even if like me you're not a massive fan of Ryan Reynolds, just as long as you know it is a Deadpool movie and there will be a lot of immature/crude jokes.

Hold on, her character uses

his sword to cut her bonds, then grabs the blade with bare hands to pull it out of the restraint enough to open the door, then takes said sword and rams it through Ajax

I would suggest that most people here who didn't like it are obviously not Deadpool fans at all.....

Not every movie has to be oscar winning writing,cgi, back of some dusty cinema no one goes to type stuff

Deadpool was a character who was mostly destroyed in a previous X-Men Movie this was an effort to make him into a redeemable franchise again ...and they took a chance by sticking 100% to source materiel it shouldn't be judged next to more serious stuff ...and i'm surprised it took so long to bring the old feminist (oh damsel in distress) bull crap that seems to be like some sort of buzz word or sentence when reviewing a movie now , Either you have a strong independant woman or you're movie is **** basically

I loved Deadpool does that make me silly stupid or unable to judge movies correctly ? no it makes me a Deadpool fan :P

Hrududu

I think a film should stand on its own. If you need to already be a fan of a character and already know their backstory to enjoy a film then the film isn't doing its job. There are loads of people who love Deadpool but I'd say there are more people of the cinema going public who don't know anything about him. If the film only caters to the former then they're missing a trick.

Funniest movie I've seen in years. Great action, great characters and Ryan actually pulled it off

I loved the Ferris Bueller reference.

Nope, when you have a character say in a trailer - and I quote - "I've played a lot of roles, damsel in distress ain't one of them", then you're fair game for criticism when she does end up a damsel in distress for a significant proportion of the running time (45 seconds or so on either side of the film excepted). And this is more a crime of bad screenwriting than some affront to feminism (for the record, 'the strong, independent woman' can just as readily be an insipid trope). It can be easily expanded to include the other characters, too - the generic Eastern European strong-man, a generic British villain, a generic wacky best friend, a generic moody teenager etc... Pretty much every character is a lazy trope, lacking anything of interest.

And the obvious counter to that is: but they know they're all lazy tropes and they make fun of them!. To me, self-aware crappy writing is still crappy writing. A genuinely clued-in, interesting film would instead try to address these things and attempt to do something new. Deadpool is content to merely point them out and then slavishly go along with them. Which stands out because, the quips aside, the film plays the core plot reasonably straight-faced all-in-all - from the love story to the OTT action finale.

Obviously, if it was funnier it would have helped, but I found it about as amusing as a direct-to-video American Pie sequel. I found a behind-the-scenes gif of Reynolds with a balloon sword funnier than anything in the film. But hey, humour, subjectivity, etc...

Zombienosh

Thought this was amazing, easily one of my favourite comic book movies now. Reynolds nailed deadpool, I don't think anyone else would have pulled it off. The references & in-jokes were brilliant.

eldamo

Really enjoyed it.

Doing the origin story meant that it couldn't be non stop whackyness so I am hoping that they get a sequel so that they can really let loose.

Thought a few of his buddy weasels lines fell flat but I thought all around the jokes were great.

I'm not sure what it says about me, but deadpool trying to beat up colossus was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long long while.

Needs a rewatch, I think I missed some gags due to lauging.

Not going to be everyones cup of tea, but I hope it gets a sequel, and possibly some cameos in related movies, funny fecker.

CiDeRmAn

I really had fun watching it last night.
They kept it simple, plenty of tropes given a beating.
Including his meat at one point!
And the end credits scene was class.
The film seemed to have major female characters, from hero, villain and love interest, and none appeared to be particularly insulting to women, any more than the male characters did the same to the other gender.
Are we really dissecting an irreverent comic book movie and asking it to provide some sort of lesson on gender relations?

I actually disagree with most of this but I will just concentrate on one aspect. You point to the generic Eastern European strong man, the generic wacky best friend as lazy tropes but all these characters are true to the original comics and after being so badly represented in Deadpool's previous appearance on screen the writers and directors were true to the original story.

Do critics complain about Martin Freeman for being a hapless sidekick in his role as Dr. Watson as being a lazy trope? Probably not for the most part as Sherlock was based on a book, which is taken to be something more creative and somehow more important than other forms of media, especially comics which are seen as worthless play things for children that can have no valid creative worth.

It seems that if a film is produced that is based on a book and remains true to the tropes of the book, it is worthy of praise. However, to do the same with a comic book, is almost seen as being sinful. An example would be Lord of the Rings, based on a book and received wide critical acclaim. However, even the most basic analysis would reveal so many tropes and clichés you would see there is no real novelty in anything in the story: Frodo goes on a quest, grows into the role of ring bearer over comes great difficulty. The Dark Lord has a vast army, vast magical powers chasing a magic ring etc etc.

I'm not saying that Deadpool is any great literary character but the instant dismal of the movie because it is based on a comic book, and therefore has no literary or creative worth simply annoys me.

If you look at the Deadpool character himself you would see that it is a refreshing interpretation of what has become the traditional comic book character. For once I am glad that this film was produced and not sanitised for a younger audience to make the most profits possible. They took a risk and actually delivered a character that many people will dislike for being crude and a "superhero" movie that contains violence and nudity.

You may not like the humour, I'm sure many people won't or the violence but do you criticise Die Hard for not being intellectually stimulating enough? In a way, Deadpool is comparable to Die Hard, a humorous action film. Both will appeal to a certain audience and many critics will point to it being a formulaic recipe, but to complain that it not comparable to a great work such as Lord of the Rings or whatever else, is just unfair and lazy journalism.

Ha, the criticism of LotR films was how they differed from the source, in particular Gimli

johnny_ultimate

You're making a lot of accusations I never made there farna_boy

Tropes exist for a reason. They're basic building blocks of fictional storytelling, that have developed over thousands of years. Done well, they can still pack power. Lord of the Rings is a good example - a sprawling, multi-tier epic that explores classical tropes in a rewarding, entertaining way. Die Hard, too, is a good example. It, for example, brings a delightful level of playfulness and humour to the 'English villain' trope, through Rickman's brilliant performance. Jessica Jones, which I've just finished watching, is another good example - there you have another 'British bad guy', but the character is beautifully developed: charming and genuinely nasty in equal measure, with actual motivations and a power that is meaningful explored over its admittedly longer running time. Of course, tropes can easily transition into something that's over-familiar and uninspired - just regurgitating ideas with no new slant or perspective of their own.

I hope that illustrates that I have no problems with comic books or comic book adaptions if they're done right - over the last few months, actually, I've read through the entirety of Saga and am now up to date with it, and thoroughly enjoying it.

So no, my problem is not that Deadpool is based on a comic book, or that it is not intellectually engaging - I didn't expect anything of that sort going in. My problem is how it handles itself. This is purely on its own terms, what it sets out to do. The tropes it employs are far too familiar and uninteresting, nowhere near as engaging as the best examples of said types. The action - this is purely IMO - lacked any sort of bite: too reliant on shoddy CG and janky, cautious (it actually felt very timid to me in terms of violence) direction and editing that robbed it of sufficient oomph. Most of all what lost me was that it thought that making fun of its own shortcomings was enough. Personally, I'd rather a film actively try to overcome the shortcomings of its basic building blocks - as I pointed out earlier, Super is great for that. Hell, even if you don't want to be subversive, buckling down and really trying to present familiar ideas in a really passionate and committed way can pay wonderful dividends. But that wasn't what I got from Deadpool - instead I got something lazy, crude and obnoxious that fell victim to the very same things it made fun of.

If it delivered everything you were hoping for, excellent, glad it did. But it's not belittling fans or those who enjoyed the film to say I thought it was total garbage

tommyboy2222

Saw it today. Loved it!

My one (minor) complaint was that with the test footage and trailer I felt I had seen a lot of good parts already !

Skerries

all this positivity only means that my copy of New Mutants with the first appearance of Deadpool is only going to go up in value

MilesMorales1

Is my opinion on a comic book movie the same as johnny ultimate? Christ, I need to sit down.

ps3lover

This thing is doing amazing at the box office which is funny since a 12a rated Robocop failed to do the same thing in the same weekend 2 years ago!
This may outgross Robocops and Terminator Genisys's entire domestic gross in one weekend.

I'm glad you suffered watching a film that was clearly poking fun at everything you were complaining about :pac:

Really don't get the acclaim that this is receiving, it's little more than another generic origins story that seems to think it's genuinely hilarious given that it repeatedly points out the mad stuff unfolding. Visually. it's drab and cheap and looks like something The Asylum would knock out over a weekend. Bar the juvenile opening credits, there's not a single moment that stands out. The flat and cheap look is further highlighted by the awful CGI that would have looked dated 5 years ago.

The story or what passes for one could easily been scribbled on the back of your hand and still leave plenty of room. There's maybe 25 minutes of story here and you could easily edit the almost 2 hour run time into a 10 minute short and tell the same story.

And none of this would matter if the film was fun. It's not, sure it raises the odd smile but the script here is nowhere near as insightfully and funny as it thinks it is. The jokes are puerile and that's part of the essence of the character but you'll find better lines in Scary Movie 5. Reynolds gives it his all but he shouldn't have bothered as Dead Pool is just the latest in a never ending line of poor adaptations of comic book characters who deserve so much better. You know your film is in trouble when the supporting cast are the best thing about it, I'd sooner watch a Colossus spinoff than I would a Deadpool sequel.

Deadpool as a film is rather similar to Seven Psychopaths. Both are films which think that by pointing out genre tropes and clichÃ႒©s they are being subversive and intelligent. But it's not enough, you have to have something to say or at least poke fun of them in an interesting manner. Films like Super and Special deconstruct the genre in far more interesting, adult and fun ways and it's due to the simple fact that they explored the tropes and clichÃ႒©s begins simply trying to mine a cheap laugh by stating "a British villain". Seriously, Disaster Movie had better jokes than that. I really wanted to like the film,I enjoy the character and Reynolds is a great sport but there's simply nothing here that stands out. Deadpool is at best average and at worst almost as bad as the woeful Kick Ass 2.

And before people chime in with "you're not a comic fan" or "you don't understand the character" just remembers that I've been reading comic's since I was three and in my sitting room there are over five hundred trade paper backs. I love comic books,I'm just not a fan of adaptations that are little more than 100 minutes of cheap fan service and jokes about ****. And the packed theater seemed to agree,beyond a few belly laughs and titters there was barely a sound from the audience. From what people have been saying about the film I was expecting a communal experience along the lines of The Lego Movie but instead got one more in line with the reaction to any Robert DeNiro comedy outing.

Don't be insulting. Anyone over the age of ten could 'get' the joke in Deadpool. It proudly, unapologetically aims low. Liking and 'getting' it are not the same thing, however. I got Deadpool. I merely found it crass, cheap, obvious and unfunny.

flazio

I had a fun night out last night watching this film and that's all the film aims to be, a low brow fun night out. Looking forward to the sequel.
Anyone have Edgar Wright's phone number?

Sirsok

Fantastic movie, just switch off the brain , grab some popcorn and be entertained by crass humour and mindless violence. Whole theatre seemed to agree laughing consistently throughout the film.

Obviously we all differ in our opinions of movies , but reading the above criticisms , how can one expect to enjoy a movie if you delve into the faults of the story so much on first viewing?

Snake Plisken

Great movie A++ everything i could have hoped for and more! R-rated comic book vioence! I laughed from the beginning to the scenes after the end credits! Reynolds is brilliant as Deadpool and I applaud his desire to get this made! Think the budget was $50M but it looks really well, soundtrack is fantastic! It is obviously Marmite to some but, really don't understand some of the harsh criticism aimed at it by some on here. Don't let that put you off if go see it!

If anything, the film insulted you. I just pointed out the blinding obvious.

Humour is subjective but clearly you are in the minority on this one. Maybe you should stick to comedies that appeal to your sense of humour instead of deriding it for not being to you taste.

sonic85

Went to see this last night and was really looking forward to it. It didn't disappoint! It was a great way to spend a couple of hours and to be honest I was a little bit down when it ended because the time flew and I wanted more!

I can easily see why some people didn't like it but it was my type of movie and it will be the next addition to my dvd collection. Hopefully an extended edition or a directors cut with plenty of extra footage!

Sequel please!

Indeed. A lot of the negative comments here are about things in the movie that are 100% true to the character. It's like watching a Rocky movie and complaining that you don't like movies that feature boxing. Bizarre.

So because this movie is 'satire' and taking the piss, it somehow becomes immune to criticism of that comedy and satire?
