I was on the fence with my gf cause she doesn't do gore well. But I'd say if you can handle Shaun of the Dead, you can do this movie. SotD is probably more gorey with that scene at the end. It just has blood and wounds with a bit of red flesh.

Is it like blood squirting and bloody stumps or just kind of quick cartoon action?

Gah! Thanks for clarifying. Stupid twitter...
The only thing that gives me a sliver of hope is the level of violence in the Netflix shows.
But as I recall from Daredevil, it was violent and dark but blood was low and shot off screen.
There's definitely blood squirting and bloody stumps.
Both Daredevil and JJ were MA-TV, right?

No I think it's a very reasonable guess to think that they would have never made an r rated Deadpool film

Saw it tonight. Will see again next week.
I haven't seen a movie more than once at the cinema since Con Air.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Disney would never make an R-Rated Deadpool. Heck, they've already inserted him into their cartoon and that's why kids want to see the movie.
At most they would have him barely in a movie (if at all) and just bleep out his words and then get rid of him.

Metacritic needs more reviews. 65 is way too low.
IMDB's 8.8 is on point. This movie is above average for a comic book movie and is a nice change of pace and style.

I can't express how happy I am that this is doing well. Reynolds and company deserve it.

Glad to see it's doing well. Really enjoyed it.
I feel like half of my Facebook feed has been people talking about the movie and how awesome it was. So much for Deadpool being too niche of a character for people to get interested :lol
Credit has to be given to the marketing for this movie as well, they just nailed it.

Are the trailers indicative of the comedic tone of the film? Because I thought they were cringeworthingly unfunny but I am hearing good things. Juvenile humor isn't my jam, if that helps.

I felt pretty much the same exact way, but I had a blast. The humor works much better in context of the movie, plus you're much more "settled in" to the character. It doesn't ALWAYS work, but it does the majority of the time. Our audience erupted into laughter a lot.

He is Deadpool so the humor is more VanWilder-y than than gross out potty humor.
Is some of it juvenile? Yep.
Does it still work?
Absolutely.
Great news. Gimmie that sequel.
There's one in the trailer...

Bring on Cable and Deadpool for the sequel and then leading into a X-Force film.

Align the tone of an X-Force movie with GOTG, then introduce Doctor Doom in his own, standalone film. Make him as fuck awesome as he is in the comics.
X-Men films keep humming along.
X-Force can be the launchpad for bringing back Silver Surfer and Galactus (the real one, not the cloud).
Then, at some point, you can reboot F4 (with the core of it being the bond between the 4 and how they interact). Then recast Wolverine and gimme my Deadpool/Cable/Wolverine R-rated outing and wahlah!
The Fox MCU is in Beast Mode.
deadpool/cable/wolverine movie would overhype me to the point of heart failure, but goddammit i want it

Was it the marketing? The word of mouth? Deadpool audience was bigger than expected?
Even if you draw comparisions to stuff like Guardians and Ant Man doing well despite being obscure, those had the general appeal of being part of the MCU.
So what's the perfect whirlwind of factors that is making Deadpool so successful?
Definitely the bolded. To the unitiated all they had to see was the pretty damn perfect red band trailers in respect to selling its USP: A filthy Marvel movie.
Word of the trailer spreads to friends online social media. Couple that with those great subversive Valentines themed posters, that shit spread like wildfire between couples aged 18 - 35 as the perfect joke. All girls I know seem to love the trailer and those posters, and all guys are asking their girls because it is a breath of fresh air in light of fantasy films increasingly take the po faced "BWAAAAH BWAAAAH DARKNESS / WAR IS COMING" slant - X-Men Apocalypse and Civil War look no different and compared to Deadpool, not a raunchy fun night at the flicks - exactly what's needed on Valentines and generally at any time of the year.
I reckon demographic wise this is playing at closer to 50/50% between male / females than most action fantasy romps
Marketing and Word of Mouth for sure.
The marketing has been one of the best i have seen for any movie and it was something different nearly everyday since november at least it is glorious and funny but also because it is something different than other superhero movies these days.

I checked my theater before the initial reviews came out, and maybe 1/3 of the reserved seating was taken. After the glowing praise started, my show is now sold out as is every showing on Saturday for this.
And the marketing was legendary. As in, whoever came up with this marketing should win some kind of award for this.

Just got back. It was as amazing as I'd hoped it would be. All of the 4th wall conversations, all of the in-jokes, all of the references - so good. They felt more natural than what we've been shown in the trailers, I think. It worked so, so well. My 2nd favorite superhero movie after Winter Soldier for sure. This is what they should be building the future on, for sure.

Stan Lee's cameo.
Here the answer you are looking for...
nope and I am making this long so people are like ZOMG this is happening or something along those lines What you saw in the trailer is what you get.
There you go.
I really enjoyed it, it wasn't as good as Guardians or Ant Man for me, but I'll be buying the digital version when it goes up on Amazon and I've only ever done that with the former two films.
I'm very happy for Ryan Reynolds that this is a success though, the guy deserves it so much.

Loved the movie, opening was okay but not great but after that it picks up big time.
I want to see more Negasonic Teenage Warhead in the next one, loved her personality and power. Colossus was exactly what Colossus should be like but I'd be okay with him not being in the next one in favor of another X-man(Wolverine being the dream).

Negasonic Teenage Warhead was easily the best character of the movie. Love her.
Really enjoyed this film. It's not mind breaking, it's not the best in it's subgenre and the story is pretty perfunctory but it actually made a Deadpool movie work which is pretty shocking considering this is the kind of character that can easily outstay their welcome. The pacing and structure was genius to that end. I'm glad that Reynolds finally managed to get the role he deserved.
If you've ever been a Deadpool fan you'll probably find a lot of things to like about it.

Went to a very packed (surprisingly) 11:30a showing.
It was pretty good. I actually find most Marvel films a bit too far up their own ass. In fact, the only 3 I like enough to rewatch are Guardians, Ant Man, and this.
I think the script could have been punched up just a hair. It wasn't as clever as it wanted to be (Guardians is still the high water mark for that), but came close enough where I'd recommend it to people who don't necessarily like superhero flicks. They have to have a tolerance of nerd culture, though; it went a little too far into that territory at times.
It's a quality flick. Hopefully the budget for the next one is a bit higher!
