I've talked to dozens of people that have seen the movie at this point, and so far I am the only one that noticed the main action music of the film was created using the same synth noises as the intro to Michael Jackson's "Beat it".

Anyone else notice that or am I crazy? Can't be a coincidence.

No it's definitely intentional. The composer even mentioned it.

Really good movie. Finally got to see it today with my kids and we all loved it. Ryan Reynolds was definitely born to play this part. Loved all the little nods to previous movies too.

Question though I didn't quite understand during his origin story:

Francis said that the extreme pain would bring out any mutant DNA that lay dormant inside him. How did they know he even had mutant DNA to begin with?

In the XMen world,
mutants are crawling out of the woodwork, from families that aren't even related, because they're the "next phase" in human evolution. Which means that there's more mutant DNA sleeping in regular humans than you'd suspect by just counting the number of active mutants. It's in everyone, it's just taking it's time clawing it's way to the surface.

Although to be a full comic book nerd,
in the comics, Wade Wilson/Deadpool was never a natural mutant. He was just a guy dying from cancer. The Weapon X program tried to save his life by artificially giving him Wolverine's healing factor (having previously been the group that worked on Wolverine, giving him the adamantium claws and bones because he had a natural mutant healing factor and was able to survive the process). It doesn't make sense for Weapon X to lure Wade Wilson into their lab with a potential cure for cancer, by unlocking his mutant genes, only for him to suddenly become a telepath or grow wings or have eye-lasers... who is still dying of cancer. If they were just unlocking his mutant power, they'd have no way of knowing which card he'd draw, and their plan hinges on him getting the healing factor.
 
Just saw the movie and like it way better than I thought. It wasn't straight Waypool like the trailer suggested, it had a really great balance between humor and seriousness. Still, you could tell they were being choked by the budget and I hope the action scenes are more exciting next time (The Raid movies have ruined other action films for me).

Best part of the movie was Morena taking off
Deadpool's mask and he had Hugh Jackman's face taped to it LMAO.

EDIT: And I have to say the movie and the videogame showed me why I don't like Deadpool in the comics. He's so sanitized there, they need to embrace the 18+ and bring back his MAX book (with a different creative team of course).
 
Finally got a chance to see it and loved it. Perfect tone and great action choreography.

It was disturbing to see people bringing their 4 year olds to the theater. :/

I also heard from a few people that they saw 5-6 year olds at the theatre. I guess the parents maybe saw that it was a "super hero" movie and punched the ticket.

You really think teens don't know how to swear or don't know things about sex at 13 ? ...

It's not about 13 year old, it's about the MPAA's "PG13" classification.

Like, if you're PG13, then you're only allowed to get away with using the f-bomb maybe two times, at most. Less if your movie has other things, like women in sexy-but-non-revealing clothing.

Deadpool dropped 84 f-bombs.
 
I'm not a fan of the comics (BTW, what should i read in case i wanted to know a bit more about the character?), but i really, really, REALLY loved it.
And i'm even kind of sick of superhero movies.

DP revenue so far :

Budget:
$58 million
revenue
491.9 million

ant-man :
Budget:
130 million
revenue
519.3 million.


DP is is already more profitable for fox than ant-man was for marvel/disney and it will gain more money

To your second spoiler:
That bugged me too. It made no sense for them to give Wade a chance then, as he would still be rapidly dying from cancer. Either they said fuck it and rolled the dice to see if he would get a power to fight his cancer specifically, or they secretly gave him him stuff that would give him Wolverine's regeneration ability. I mean they just walked in and saw his skin fucked up and knew that he had it too.

On the second part and this is speculation on my part but I'll spoiler it just in case:

It seemed really weird because why would they change that part so much while the rest is pretty much the most faithful X-men adaptation so far on screen. I think it might have to do with Apocalypse. Could it be that he sows a mutant gene in every human on the planet or something like that? Because for all the faithfulness this stuck out a bit, and like it would be something for Fox to force this kind of interconnectivity between films this way.

A couple of 5 year olds were running up and down the aisles. Was super annoying, but didn't detract from the movie too much. Just made me want to slap the parents upside the head.

it's PEGI 12 here, no problem with this, doesn't feel like a real R-Rated movie.

It's an MPAA R easily. There are certain things you can get away with on a PG-13:

  • A relatively decent use of the word "shit"
  • One (maaayybe two) uses of "fuck"
  • Minimal nudity usually for comedic value (ie
    Ryan Reynolds' butt in the scene with the sweaters
    )
  • A surprising amount of violence and blood but there's a nebulous line that takes all kinds of context to define.

The moment you start including any one of these things:
  • Boobs (all it really takes is one female nipple really)
  • Gratuitous use of the word "fuck"
  • Multiple instances of severed human limbs and gore
  • A dong
You are getting an R from the MPAA. Again, all it would take is one of those and all are present in Deadpool.

The irony is that if The Walking Dead were a movie, it would be R-rated too. Yet they still don't let them curse on the show lol.
 
Finally got around to see this. It was a ton of fun.

My biggest complaint was that all the villains just had super strength and durability. You couldn't shoehorn Omega Red in there or something?

Why did they change it from the Weapon X program? I think they originally had it as basically Weapon X and Dr Killebrew was the main main villain, but as they were chopping the budget down, they had to consolidate characters and get rid of others and I think in that transition it made less sense that the experiment had any Weapon X affiliations. It is kind of a plot hole though. They never really explained how they would know whatever activated mutant gene would cure his cancer. I'm curious if Fox wouldn't let them tie Wolverine in to it that deep on a plot level even though it's so minor.

Budget cuts. The original script had some crazy villains with crazy powers and Fox made them slash 7 million out of the script at the last minute... and they didn't have much of a budget to start with.

Original Script had villains like Wyre and Garrison Kane and they just didn't have the budget for them.

Wyre was probably that dude on the operating table with thorns sticking out of his body.
 
I thought it was ok. Apart from the gratuitous comedy (which at some points felt a little forced), wasn't as good as I was expecting.

I had hoped Deadpool v. Francis would be a pretty cool ending, but it was so underwhelming.
 
Reynolds is about to get paid.

According to sources, star and producer Ryan Reynolds was paid $2 million upfront and is said to be the only actor eligible for box-office bonuses and backend compensation. He’s now likely to make more than $10 million from the movie and possibly much more, especially if it reaches $800 million in global sales as projected. The big payday is impressive considering Reynolds, 39, was ice cold after Green Lantern (2011) and R.I.P.D. (2013) flopped. He’s signed for a sequel, though sources say his WME agents already are preparing for a big renegotiation that will significantly up his compensation for future installments.
