Deadpool

MacAvoy or Stewart?

The part with the baby hand had me screaming. ("I bet it feels massive with this.") Also, the part with Dopinder and his cousin was great too, where Colossus is admonishing Deadpool and Deadpool is openly admonishing Dopinder while whispering encouragement

Saw it on Saturday with a friend while our wives went to see 'How To Be Single' since neither had any interest in it. I'd wager a lot of money that we laughed far more at Deadpool than they did at their movie. Knew very, very little about the character going in but absolutely loved the movie from start to end. The constant digs at other franchises and Reynolds himself were great, and the fourth-wall breaking was tons of fun. Also probably one of my favorite stinger scenes from all of the superhero movies.

Confused the heck out of us though with what pretty clearly looked like a wrecked SHIELD helicarrier in the final act though...

Cause it is a wrecked heli-carrier.

Did you catch the matchstick/Stallone reference?

Right- but it's also in Sony's non-MCU X-Men universe where AFAIK SHIELD doesn't exist. Though I'll admit to having not watched the X-Men movies since like the first or second...

You are correct. It was just Sony taking a friendly jab at the MCU

True, but there are a couple of X-Men in it.

Although they aren't referred to as X-men or even as Mutants. They are called Enhanced. It did result in an instance where we had the same character being portrayed by 2 different actors in 2 different timelines in movies being released at the same time (Quicksilver)

I can't wait to see it. If I hadn't been at the track all weekend my wife and I were going to go for V-day.

I'm assuming you (NickD) are referring the the MCU. Not sure whether Appleseed was referring to the Deadpool movie, MCU, or something else. It's on one hand a pity that they can't all get along and have everything together, but from my understanding it would also likely have made Civil War a trilogy in and of itself...

In the comics, one of Deadpool's super powers is the power to be aware that he's in a comic book. So, in the movie, did he realize it was a movie, or think he was still in a comic book?

He's aware it's a movie- at one point makes a reference to the audience probably wondering what sexual act he had to perform on whom to get his own movie...

I'm pretty sure SWMBO wet herself during the closing credits with the unicorn. There were tears of laughter.

The movie is hilarious, but it is even more hilarious if you suffered through the rest of the garbage that is the X-Men films. So many references to those atrocities that you won't get unless you have seen them.

The opening credits were awesome. Producers - asshats. Director - Overpaid tool. Yeah, this was not a movie for the kiddies. I bet there's more than a few angry parents out there. Ryan Reynolds and the role he was born to play. There's a few quotes I will be borrowing from this movie.

Just got home from seeing it with Tiger Mom. We had a blast and laughed all the way through. Stayed for the Ferris Beuller homage at the super duper final end bit.

Definitely will NOT be taking the kids to see it!

saw it again last night, still funny

I was aware of the Deadpool character but I have never read any of the comics. Like thousands of other guys I will be changing that in the near future.

DW and I went to see it with another couple yesterday. They had me from the opening scene. I expected tons of violence and very crude humour but frankly the constant Berk-bombs and E36-bombs got annoying after a while. Never having read the comics it seemed more excessive than necessary to get the point across. We both like Ryan Reynolds and DW likes superhero movies too so we did both thoroughly enjoy it, and we got most if not all the comics and movie references ("Just don't make my suit green... or animated!").

If I was toddling down to my local comics shop to renew my acquaintance with the proprietor, what titles should I start with?

I laughed until I stopped.

Damn should have stayed to the very end it sounds like.

I really liked it. All the references to other random crap was awesome. Ryan Reynolds was made for the roll.

I've made it a habit of checking RunPee.com while the credits are rolling to see if there's a stinger, but for any Marvel movie (whether it's MCU or not) I generally assume there's going to be one. In this case however, the guy taking the tickets was outright telling everybody going to see it that there was a scene after the credits.

I was actually pretty pissed off when I saw the first Iron Man in the theater- something happened with the projector that projection cut out about halfway through the credits and the theater wasn't going to try and fix it and finish things out, but enough people knew about the stinger that they complained and the theater got it back running again and played the rest of the credits.

Saw it last night, definitely one of the best comic-book-superhero movies yet. I haven't laughed so hard since the first time I saw Idiocracy.

I think the most R-rated thing about the movie isn't the gore or the nudity or the language, but the sheer nastiness of the jokes. I really wondered if Deadpool was going to skullberkeley Ajax at the end (would've been funny if he thought about it out loud and then decided not to, as a "heroic moment.")

Saw it yesterday, it was awesome. Only complait was it seemd a bit short.

I thought you guys would appreciate the front of my rally car from this past weekend:
