Deadpool Deadpool News and Discussion - Part 3

[Blade X]

Yeah, Blade X, I can sympathize with your side, and understand your concerns, even if I'm personally glad to see it be rated R, but this debate ended some time ago, and you lost , the film officially releases in mere days, there's no debate to be had anymore.

In order for me to "loose", I would have to be trying to change the rating of the film (which I'm not). And I'm only responding to people who have responded to my posts or who have personally addressed me.

 

[Blade X]

But the blood has always been present in (non-MAX) comics - I don't wanna remove it!

Not in most of the older CCA approved books.

DREDD was a box office flop (despite being a good movie, IMO). Both PREDATOR and ROBOCOP were not property's originally created for and aimed at all ages. Deadpool, despite what some selfish fans might want to believe, was originally a character created for and/or aimed at all ages.

Blade X, why are you so fixated on this? You have no financial stake in this film. You didn't produce it. You aren't Emma Watts. You aren't Ryan Reynolds. You aren't Blake Lively. The kids who can't see the movie are gonna get over it. Not being able to see Deadpool for however long isn't going to hurt them.

The movie is R-rated. It's getting released as an R-rated film. The war is over man.

This film had no obligation to be a "soft R" or an R that could be easily turned into a TV edit. Why would you want to see a watered down censored version of Daredevil? If this movie was PG-13 it would've been a completely different movie and it would've been as good.

The way this film was made, it's different. It's not a traditional superhero film. It's a different beast. The structure is different, the style is different and that makes this film more entertaining and unique.

It's great to have the superhero films that we do, but it's also great to have a film like Deadpool that has familiar elements to those films but other elements that make it completely different and stand out more. Instead of being so negative about it you should be more open minded and try watching the film.

If you don't like how vulgar, violent and filthy the movie is, you are totally entitled to that opinion. But you seem like you are on a mission of a losing battle at this point. You are debating a topic you have already lost.

Not in most of the older CCA approved books.

OK, all the old Deadpool books were CCA approved for all ages. And? So? That means what exactly? They have a responsibility or obligation to do what? No they don't. Artists can make the film however they want.

Got my tickets for imax on Friday. Going with 11 other people and only half of them are really comic book fans.

Suggesting it should be a soft R is one of the dumbest things I've heard. I get the argument that R-rated films will do worse. It makes sense. Kids can't see it. I don't get the argument that a soft R would do better. The same people can't see it.

 

[Weather Witch]

Kids in the US can't see it rather. In the UK it's 15+ and in Belgium 12+

 

[sodeythehomie]

Just few weeks left!

Already got my tickets I'm so excited! I've been waiting on this for months!

Saw this today in Hong Kong where there's been some pre-release screenings. Here are my thoughts.

Positives:
-The non-linear structure
-The use of X-Men. I think this movie will get a ton of people excited for X-Men in a way they weren't before (and if I were Fox I woulda played the trailer at the end of the post-credit scene).
-The action
-The cast
-Just enough heart in the story.
-And just so. many. laughs. My favourites being the Zamboni, Colossus, and "maximum effort!".

Negatives:
-But unfortunately there's a ton of jokes that don't land. A ton of jokes that feel geared towards 13 year olds, who wouldn't even be in the cinema. Not enough to make me walk out or anything, cause I still wanted to see what crazy place the film went to next, but perhaps enough to make me not bother with a rewatch. I might not recommend the film to some friends because of it.

Overall though, I thought it was a fun movie.
3.5/5

Tomorrow the wait is over. Can't wait

I'm going Friday but then again on Saturday with family.

I had to pump the brakes on the larger family outing and keep the older crowd away because I know they were thinking this was going to be something like a Spider-Man film. I have a feeling I'm not the only one and that this will limit the box office impact.

I'm blown away by how much they nailed it, but considering how much Ryan wanted to make this happen for so long, and the amazing script that Reese and Wernick wrote a while ago, this ain't surprising.

Now, it was dubbed, so honestly, that alone just pissed me off because I'm used to Ryan as Deadpool, seen all promotional, marketing bits with him, and dubbing it is just heresy.

Anyway, this is so much fun on every level, they just nailed it all, there are so many visual flourishes, unique elements, layers of jokes that we know there's just nothing else like it anywhere else. It's so inventive, hilarious, 13 year old jokes, maybe, the problem with the dubbing is that it made it much more vulgar when it is not originally (not nearly as much), I'd say it's Deadpool, the character for better or worse, he loves to entertain mostly himself, but it is the character.

I was reading tons of Deadpool comics lately and this feels just like watching an even crazier version in some respects of some of his best comics on the big screen, I still can't comprehend that someone was wacky enough to say "Go ahead, do your Deadpool film".

The room was packed and everyone seemed to love it, laughs all the time (I personally hate that, I'd much rather watch it alone), this is going to be a ginormous hit, mark my words.

The structure, which is the same as in the original script that leaked (If I'm not mistaken) is really cool, the action is very good and I can't wait to see them get a much bigger budget on the sequel, because seeing what they did here with a $60 million budget, it's pretty impressive, the CG work is top notch, there are a few surprises in there by the way ^^

Colossus looks absolutely amazing, Negasonic is really cool too, I love how they once again took some big inspiration from some Deadpool runs with

Spoiler

Colossus pushing to recruit Deadpool as part of the X Men, along with the numerous references to them, and Charles too

I don't really know what else to say, it's so wild, crazy, self-referential, fresh, there's just no one like Deadpool, so happy for Ryan, they slayed it. Now waiting for the Blu Ray to see it the way it should be seen (ie, NOT DUBBED).

Oh yeah, the ending credits are top notch, even though I already knew from the script ^^

Short Deadpool IN CHARACTER interview:



Ryan Reynolds interview. Talks about possible crossovers, X-Force. And unfortunately he also mentions the Guadalajara scene being cut out of the movie, due to it being too dark (which is kind of a bummer for me, I've loved that part in the script and was really looking forward to see it on the big screen and see how such a cruel scene would play out amidst the comedy, but okay - that stuff happens all the time...).

Sequel news...
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/deadpool-sequel-works-863418

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote Deadpool, are writing the script for a follow-up, which has already been greenlit, insiders tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The fact that a sequel is in the works should not be a surprise at this point. Deadpool is tracking to open to at least $65 million over the upcoming four-day holiday weekend, with some estimates pointing north of $70 million.

Tim Miller directed Deadpool and although is he has not signed on to helm the sequel, Fox is intent on keeping the creative team together.

Reese, Wernick and Miller, as well as star Ryan Reynolds, have fought an uphill battle within the studio system to get the movie made, forging themselves into a compact unit. Wernick and Reese, who also acted as exec producers on the movie, remained on board throughout the development and production, a rarity in a system that interchanges scribed at high rates.

Great to hear that Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are signed to script a possible sequel, and that the studio is planning to keep the creative team together.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Yes!!!

 

[StarLord]

It's Fox, so I'm still cautious!

 

[Bruce Malone]

Has Fox kept the budget for this under-wraps?

I don't think they put too much money into it so that's probably one of the reasons based on its OW prediction it's already going to turn profitable.

I can imagine RR taking a salary cut initially as well to get this made.

 

[def28]

The number we keep hearing is 60m.

Great to hear that Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are signed to script a possible sequel, and that the studio is planning to keep the creative team together.

Also good to hear Reynolds is staying in control of the character as far as what X films Deadpool goes in.
