« on: February 11, 2016, 07:26:45 PM »
Remember when we saw the first trailer and everybody was like "pleasedon'tsuckpleasedon'tsuckpleasedon'tsuck"?
Well, I just got back from the cinema and can tell you, no it does not suck.
In fact, I'd say Deadpool is the best super hero comic movie so far... like it's right from the pages*.
Spoiler for Hidden:
What I quite liked (besides everything), was that at the end Vanessa had a few strands of white hair.

Also, best Stan Lee cameo ever. 8)

*there are some tweaks to Wade's story, but that's to be expected.

Good to hear.  Really looking forward to it.  Every trailer, wacky spot, and commercial I've seen has been awesome.  Moreover, the passion which Reynolds evidences in every interview I've seen is infectious.
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

I have read repeatedly that the wacky spots & shorter commercials were Reynolds doing these things in and around his & friends' homes, with one of the suits he took from the set, then bringing it to the producers. (He deserved that suit tbh.) I can't find any verifiable source for these rumors, but I hope so hard it's true, because that is beyond awesome.

There was a Deadpool in the Wolverine Origins film. I assume this Deadpool has nothing to do with that since they had a few reboots already with the younger cast.

Yes, that was a different actor, director, & writers.

I thought it was Reynolds in that movie - at least as Wade Wilson, before they completely screwed up the character.

*checks IMDB* Oops. My mistake. It *was* Reynolds as DP in Origins. Did not enjoy the (brief) performance at all, but it looks like a different director & writers makes all the difference in the world.

So I guess that old Deadpool is in whatever alternate universe those batches of X-Men films are from.
Cleary since Days its been a new universe. (Since Trask in Days was played by a little person and in the X-Men films Trask was a large, black man.)

Reynolds makes fun of that appearance in Origins almost as often as he makes fun of the Green Lantern movie.

Looks like he redeemed himself for at least one of those.

Nah, a proper retcon should explain the inconsistency. For example, maybe the short guy was really a robot vehicle, and the tall guy was crouched down inside, operating it.

It doesn't need to. A retcon is literally "retroactive continuity" - replacing one thing with another thing. Does not need explanation.

Saw it.  Hubby took me to it.

This movie is so damned good it completely redeemed him from the disastrous birthday (mine) when he took me to the Dungeons and Dragons movie, and put him squarely in the black.

Absolutely perfect performances.  Perfect script.  Lives up to every one of those trailers, and then tops it.

I agree I really enjoyed this.  Ryan Reynolds nailed Deadpool this time around.  I was hoping it would truly capture the spirit of Deadpool and it didn't let me down in the slightest.  It exceeded my expectations.  Best comic book movie sense Guardians of the Galaxy.  In many way's I enjoyed it more.  The lack of a serious tone was refreshing.

Spoiler for Hidden:
I can't help but laugh when I think of that scene on the bridge where he keeps breaking his limbs on Colossus

From the opening credits to the post credit stinger it was great.  The references to Green Lantern and Wolverine Origins, Hugh Jackman, the destroyed helicarrier, the seemingly intentionally grainy stock footage from the X-Men movies was all great.  And I'm pretty sure Stan enjoyed his cameo in this movie.  Only downside is some of his best lines were already spoiled by the trailers and the original "leaked" short.

Neediess to say, not a film for the little ones.

It's funny how the first Deadpool in Origins is exactly opposite of what makes him great - a wise cracking talker.

Who thought that was a good idea to make that Deadpool basically the Super Skrull.

Which is why most Fox Marvel films fail - except of course this one.

Maybe they learned a lesson this time and the NEXT FF reboot movie will get it right.

Nah.  The next FF film will have sex scenes between Reed and Sue, and between Ben and Alicia.  Johnny will burn villains alive and make jokes to the camera as they run around screaming.  And Doom will use twin pistols.  This is Fox we are talking about.  They will completely miss the reason why Deadpool is popular and will attempt to graft all its features onto other superhero movies.

Hell, if FOX had allegedly gotten their way without a gratuitous battle being waged on Deadpool's behalf, it wouldn't even have been made.  And even then, it apparently was quite the struggle to get FOX to let it be made properly.
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Finally saw Deadpool, it was laugh out loud funny and not as violent as I was expecting.

I had one question about the timing of events.  It seemed like Colossus knew Wade, but where did they meet for the first time?  I got the impression that after Wade's escape, he went directly to tracking down Francis, but when Colossus showed up at the highway chase, they seemed to know each other.  Wade seemed to know who the X-Men were and where their home was.  When did they meet for the first time?

Maybe my memory is incorrect and I should watch it again.  Does anyone else have a clearer memory?

Deadpool's known the X-men practically since his debut, but asking for a coherent timeline for Deadpool doesn't really work at all since his history is constantly retconned and the book's constantly riffing on comic continuity (or the lack thereof) - e.g. his daughter was the result of an affair he had in an issue that had him teaming (not through time travel either) with full on blaxploitation/kung fu Power Man and Iron Fist in the 70s, yet she was still a kid in the 2010's.

As far as the movies go I guess we're to assume anyone based in NY who makes as much of a mess as Deadpool would run into the X-men at some point.

I had one question about the timing of events. 

Colossus mentioned they previously tried to recruit Deadpool to be an X-men. Near the end of the movie, DP says it was a rough 2 years to Vanessa so there was a considerable amount of time between flashbacks and present day.  Deadpool looking for Francis was a lot longer than the 5 minutes shown on screen, his crazy wall sort of indicates this as well.
