Deadpool

I just watched it and it's like Mel Brooks does Marvel. Like Spaceballs.

This is not a good thing.....although it is not totally unlikeable....just kinda daft. There were some funny gags....some interesting action....but just a parody really....like those wayan brothers films....

Finally got round to seeing this the other week. Although I enjoyed lots of it, I was ultimately left disappointed. I'm an unashamed lover of irreverence and meta-bollox, so this should have been right up my street, but it turned out to be nowhere near as smart, sharp or subversive as it thought it was. Deadpool also wasn't as morally ambiguous as I was expecting, but I'm not overtly familiar with the source material so maybe that was my unfair expectations.

A lot of it was just lazy or first thought stuff - plot, gags, 4th-wall stuff.

I've finally got around to watching a torrent of this and I was pretty disappointed. It's basically like Kick Ass but not as good. I liked Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin and Stan Lee's cameo, but the film itself was boring. Deadpool as a character is VERY irritating in a trying-too-hard way. If someone wants to make films of subversive comics they should ignore Marvel and DC and buy up the rights to Vertigo's library.

Never going to be mistaken for great art, but I think this was the only movie to have made me laugh out loud on a plane since I was a little kid. The only other superhero movie I've seen this year was "X-Men: Apocalypse" and Deadpool was about 20 times better.
 
What was Stan Lee's cameo in this? I can't remember.

I've only watch 3/4 of it x2 as torture is a 'trigger' for me and I found those bits unbearable then immediately lost interest, the two times I've tried to watch it.
 
you aren't missing much. I'm sure this was great in comic book form when the art took irself a bit seriously and this subverting was fresh air to the genre but now its just ....Deadpool is a wanker.

Brilliant. Actually the antidote the entire superhero genre needed imo, and probably beneficial to it. Also one of the most successful instances of breaking the fourth wall I’ve seen.

Ryan Reynolds walks on water as far as I am concerned anyway. I’d watch a film of him painting his living room walls.

I always admire actors more if they can do comedy as well as the more serious stuff and Ryan Reynolds can do both. Naturally funny fella. They actually filmed some of the first Deadpool here in Vancouver.

I can't remember him ever playing a serious role well or even taking any serious role seriously.
I do like his deadpool character, but I am getting a bit tired of him being a slightly modified version of that in every single film now. I know that might be a bit unfair, because everybody brings a bit of themselves to a role and maybe deadpool is just a larger than life Ryan Renolds . . . but I can't help finding it a bit tiresome now. I even eyerolled to myself at the DP3 trailer posted above, (which also doesn't really seem fair).

I watched 10 minutes of Wrexham on Disney plus before throwing my TV out the window.
 
First adverts for the forthcoming third instalment Deadpool vs Wolverine spotted for the first time today on the side of London buses. Coming out 25 July.

Very much looking forward to it :) Firmly still a dark comedy genre film in my mind rather than part of the superhero genre even if it has been finally allowed officially to join the farm. Would watch a film of Reynolds or Jackman painting walls, and loved the first two Deadpool films, so a cert for me.

I’ve heard there may be one or two off-colour jokes. Be careful.

Always loved seeing the fourth wall being broken and Deadpool taking the piss.

A shame that some fans had a toxic meltdown when She Hulk did the very same in her story.

There's teasers

Haven’t clicked ‘play’ on this yet, but I love the fact that Deadpool trailers in the past been piss-taking exercises and irrelevant to the film they were supposed to give viewers a glimpse of.

Certainly the teaser ones. IIRC the one for Deadpool 2 was basically an unrelated sketch showing Reynolds witnessing someone being mugged and taking so long to find a phone box and changing into his superhero costume, by the time he comes out of the phone box the mugging victim has been stabbed to death and the villain escaped :D
