In the US, R means kids are allowed in as long as they're accompanied by an adult. The harsher rating than that, NC-17, is almost never used for mainstream movies.

Saw it Thursday. Was blown away by how much I loved it. Unlike a few others here, I have always like Reynolds dating back to his TV roots on 2GAGAAPP. If this character didn't exist, it would have to be created just so he could play Deadpool. Can't wait to watch it again, and really looking forward to a long run on cable and then a sequel.

Hell, as a pay cable TV show it would easily be the best show on TV. Ironically, for a supers movie, it'd translate very well to the medium. Deadpool is really just about Deadpool; not a lot of wide-angle shots or "epic" moments... more like humourous Daredevil really.

I think Ryan Reynolds works best where he can be a bit of an asshole, which "Deadpool" certainly allowed.

I really enjoyed this, I think it worked surprisingly well for a movie Deadpool (not quite as bizarre and mentally deranged as the Deadpool I remember from the comics, toned down enough for an audience to relate to). A lot of it didn't really make sense for any reason (why the fuck would Colossus just wag his finger at Deadpool for literally murdering a helpless guy in front of him? And then try to get him to join the X-Men?!) beyond that's what happens in the comics but honestly, I didn't mind it in this movie. Afterwards maybe but at the time I enjoyed it. Not sure it would stand rewatching that well but seriously surprisingly good.

The X-Men in the comics are all about 2nd* chances.

Yeah, Sabretooth has actually joined the X-Men at least twice.

It makes more senses for Deadpool, because Deadpool doesn't make sense. With Sabertooth, you have to give some sort of convoluted reason that justifies it. With Deadpool, it's because...it's Deadpool. Stuff just happens like that.

I thought people joined Xaviers school because they needed help not because they were already awesome. The Cyclopses and Storms are graduates, the Sabertooths and Deadpools are like convicts going back for their GEDs.

Deadpool is now officially the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time (worldwide). After seven weeks in theaters and with a total gross of 750 million dollars it beat out "The Matrix Reloaded" and now occupies the top spot. Domestic it sits at #3 with 349 million dolars with only "American Sniper" ($350m) and "The Passion of the Christ" ($370m) being more successful at the box office.
Considering that the movie had a $50m budget and didn't have the mainstream PR hype that Sniper or Passion had this is quite the achievement.

Could be because it was a good movie. But I'm sure the Studio Exec's have thought of that and are adjusting strategy accordingly. ..

The one thing they never seem to put in the strategy is "Make good movies".

True that. Always seems to be an accident.
You know, that phrase 'No-one sets out to make a bad movie' keeps being brought up everywhere I look these days. I genuinely don't think it's true. I think maybe certain people just don't understand what a bad movie IS, which is why they keep making it...

Both are true, yes. Like any creative project, you're going to get people with the right connections in the pipeline who REALLY BELIEVE they have what it takes. They don't and we get terrible results because of it.
The bigger and more incestuous Hollywood becomes the more of it you see.

I think a LOT of movies are made to close out an actor's contract before it expires in a sunk cost fallacy.

So I just bought it on Amazon streaming, and it's in glorious 21:9 ultra-wide screen format.

Probably 2.33:1 or 2.35:1 (standard cinematic ratios), and 21:9 is 2.34:1, so at most you have a few black rows. Yeah, it's nice. --Dave

Oh, so they still insist on Region Locking in this day and age. No Deadpool streaming over here yet. And here I was looking forward to seeing this film in English.

I caught this in the theater (just before it stopped running) with my 13 year old son who has wanted to go since it came out...I felt a little bad afterwards, but then remembered myself at 13 doing fatalities in Mortal Kombat and trying to see tits through scrambled satellite channels....He'll be ok. Great fucking movie.

Yeah, I had the same reservations until I watched it myself. Since it was R I wanted to be sure WHAT the content was. The 12.5 year old will be just fine with it.
