I mentioned that one earlier. That's not really a joke. It's merely a visual reference in the opening credits. The way some posters mention it, you'd think half the movie was green lantern in jokes.

Loved it. Went to the first IMAX showing of the day. Expected there to be nobody. Nope. About 80% full excepting very front seats which were like 20%.

Whelp, in the theater now in the Imax showing about 15 minutes before start time, part of me still cant believe it happened, a Deadpool movie. Bless who ever leaked that CGI test footage over a year ago, it was the kick it needed for Fox to give the go ahead.

^^^Heh, I guess that makes sense, smart man!
Oh man, a guy just came to take his seat and saw a family right behind him and said, "You brought your kids?!" laughing and smiling before sitting down, lol.

If the opening doesn't clue them into the type of movie they're about to see, then God be with them...

Yeah I went and saw it a second time last night with a friend and some of the people we saw walk in, we were just like..."What are you doing here? You have no idea what you're in for". I swear there was one elderly couple that must have seen the faux love story marketing and figured they'd go see a Reynold's romantic movie.
There was a middle-aged couple at the end of my row, who didn't seem to be the type of people to see this kind of movie, and they loved it (based on the amount of times they cracked up). Very unexpected.

I think the beauty of this movie is that it just hits a lot of notes.
Odds are, you're going to love at least ONE aspect of this movie if you like:
- Hot guys
- Hot girls
- Gory violence
- Action
- 80's music, specifically WHAM! (The GOAT by the way)
- 4th wall breaks
- Superhero movies in general
- Comedy
As strange as it sounds, there's kinda something in there for everyone.

Shouldn't be surprised how the fighting scenes were Blur cinematics in live action. But it translated better than expected.
I had an elderly couple sit near us who'd laugh and say "that's stupid!" throughout.

She has white in her various hair styles, which is a reference to Copycat
she may manifest powers later due to something that happens at the end of the film
Pretty sure that's actually a behind the scenes test shot of Reynolds himself in the GL armor.
I need honest impressions here. I don't really care for raunchy humor in films. I never have. I simply have never liked it and it has ruined films for me in the past. It doesn't matter if the film had good action or a good story. Should I even bother with watching Deadpool? Or at least seeing it in a theater vs waiting for it to show up on dvd, etc?

Well, at least the kids will learn something.
It's loaded with sexual humor. If that really bothers you, steer clear.
We went to the Dolbt Atmos XD showing and it was 100 percent full up. Insane. Lived up to every expectation I had.
Actually, it very well might. It's doing FAR better than most people and analysts anticipated. And word-of-mouth is VERY strong right now.

Movie was awesome. Today was my dad's birthday and I took him to see it as he loves action and superhero movies; it's my father's 70th birthday and he loves it!
Its so funny that being r-rated is pushed hard by marketing and especially with the red fonts all over the commercials and such and theaters all mark it as r-rated but people somehow still miss this and take the kids.

Loved it, really exceeded my expectations. Really hope this does great, I want moar.
Tons of kids in my showing lol. I thought it was hilarious. Just knew parents would treat it like a typical super hero movie.

Get ready to hold on to your butt. You are about to see a real X-men movie with this one.
Just came back, loved it. Can't believe I've waited like 18 years for a Deadpool movie and finally got one and it didn't suck. Negasonic and Colossus were boss as fuck too. Can't believe how much X-Men stuff they put in there.
Also can't believe this couple brought their 7 year old boy and sat next to us. Then another couple brought their young boy too and sat in front of us. The family to our left didn't give a shit apparently, but the family in front of us kept covering the kids eyes for any sex or nude stuff. Like, wtf are you doing? Just stay home.

If so that needs to be trumpeted to Marvel. Get us a mvc4.

Just got back home from it.
I liked it just fine! It was a moderately enjoyable romp, even though it did nothing to change my feelings on Deadpool as a character (he's consistently the least funny thing in his works be it comics, games, or his movie).
I thought the structure was lame and unnecessary, some of the screentime priorities were odd, and the movie felt familiar and repetitive.
But the action was nice, I laughed about 4 times which as much as you can hope for, I liked Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead a good amount, and it tried hard to be enjoyed which makes me want to be kinder to it than the disappointments that were Age of Ultron and Ant-Man.
7/10
X-Men Origins: Wolverine > Deadpool > X-Men: Days of Future Past > The Wolverine > X-Men: First Class
Haven't seen X-Men 1-3.

Decent movie. Some good scenes here and there but like most comic book movies these days would not watch it a second time.

I don't think he knows what a greater than symbol is...
Anyway, I thought it was pretty fantastic. I went into it not expecting a lot but I've always had a soft spot for Ryan Reynolds.
I'm over super hero movies. I've been over super hero movies. I think most of the Marvel movies have been extremely tame for the past few years now. I've hated how interconnected everything is, how cheap everything looks, how huge the stakes are supposed to be every fucking goddamn time. It's bullshit and I really wasn't expecting anything from this buuuut
Yeah, I was very surprised. It tilted everything just enough to be enjoyable and geniuanly funny most of the time. I could've done with less pop culture references because I feel like it will age the movie terribly but maybe they'll tone it down for the sequel. It was just SO NICE to have a smaller scale movie. Sure the big bad was bland like every other big bad but for some reason at least I could feel the hate battering back and forth between them. I don't know, I came out thinking I only loved it because I'm a Reynolds fan but my friend thought it was great too.
Good Guy Collosus is my favorite. Wish I had a pal like that.

No, I'm fully aware!
If it helps, my massive enjoyment from X-Men Origins: Wolverine is all ironic enjoyment at its inherent atrociousness. For me, there is something really special about seeing something so beloved and set ablaze so perfectly. It's an extreme and radical disrespect of the source material that launches it into parody, and it's some of the funniest humor in a superhero movie I've seen. To this day, I think its Deadpool is the funniest depiction of Deadpool ever because of how completely wrong it is. It's hysterical.
I don't feel guilty at all for loving Origins. It's a terrible terrible movie that is so memorable and lovable that it will forever endear itself for me.
It's on the agenda. I just really hate the X-Men (hated the show as a kid and hate the movies as an adult, read some comics and wasn't happy with what I read), so I really have to force myself to watch them.
But I plan on watching every live action Marvel and DC movie, so they're all on the agenda.
