I give major props and respect to Ryan Reynolds for fighting for this movie to get made. However, none of that means that him pushing for the movie to be R rated was the right creative and business decision.

How are you saying it's not the right creative decision here? I can agree about the business side of things, but I have no idea how you can come to that conclusion when it comes to creativity. If anything, the R rating helped them make the movie they wanted, without having to be restricted to the PG13 rating. I see it as quite the opposite.
 
Are there any early reviews for this yet?

Keep R rated superheroes R rated. You don't have to twist every superhero to appeal to everyone.

And yet, you're find with twisting superheroes who were ORIGINALLY created for all ages (which DP was) to appeal to a more narrow audience of teens and adults.

I said that it "doesn't mean that it was the right creative decision" NOT that it "WAS NOT the right creative decision". In other words, I'm saying that we don't know if it was the right creative decision yet and that just because Reynolds pushed for it to be rated R doesn't mean that it was the right creative decision (it also doesn't mean that it is the wrong creative decision). For all we know, moviegoers could be put off by or be unimpressed by the R rated raunchy content in this movie.

As for the filmmakers being "restricted" by a PG-13 rating, I call BS. If these guys are supposed to be so damn creative, then they could get their point across and tell their story without having to include R rated content.
 
Showing Deadpool explicitly cutting and shooting down bad guys, like on those "PG-13 comics" (the content is rated WAY differently in comics, but let's follow you on this one for a moment) would've had to be toned down had the movie been PG-13.

You know, all those wonderfully bloody panels of him killing people or hilariously gory scenes in which his regenerative powers are most needed.

And that's all I have to say on this. You have your own opinion and that's fine. But don't try to sell it as a fact, stating that they got the character wrong and TURNED him into an R-rated one.
 
Are people seriously saying a film conceptualized as R rated should be watered down for kids? I am so happy the people who made Blade in the late 90's and started the 3rd Comic Book Film boom didn't buy into that crap.

The bolded is a great point that many don't understand. There is absolutely no consistency when it comes to rating content for different age groups across different media. Here's an extreme example. Naruto is, at it's core, a children's series. It ran in a publication with a target demographic of "boys" (hence the word Shonen, literally boy). If a big studio did a panel for panel recreation of the manga the MPAA would take one look at the scenes of twelve year old kids getting stabbed, bloodied up, and, er, transforming into nude women (makes more sense if you follow the series) and it would be an R. The anime actually tones down the more violent scenes.



Basically, a PG-13 Deadpool could have happened, sure, but it's incorrect to say the comics never went "R rated".
 
Anybody see the interview with Reynolds and TJ at a bar throwing darts at a picture of Wolverine attached to the board :funny:

Pretty good interview with some minor spoilers, Reynolds mentioned that most of the lines said on set were the ones they went with and that they didn't just ADR later.

Edit: I guess that location is for the press junket.

Lol now I only want to know whether Vanessa becomes Copycat or not, and what's the after credit scene :D
 
Embargo is over. The movie awesome. Blade X should be happy it's R-rated. Once you see the movie, it works better without being PG-13. Making this movie at PG-13 would've been pointless.
