This movie made me a very very happy fanboy. Ryan Reynolds IS Deadpool. So hilarious and kick ass. And surprisingly, some of my favorite stuff in the film was the love story. She's a doll. Love her. Great great film. So excited for what's to come!

The love story was just perfect. They were made for each other.

Everything else...... I have to see it again cause I know I missed couple funny lines due to the audience LOL.

can't wait for the sequel with CABLE!!!!!!!!

When it works it really works; the love story, action, breaking the fourth wall, etc. Unfortunately for me the film doesn't fire on all cylinders half the time.

When will we ever see a big superhero movie with the said superhero being pegged on screen?

Awesome!.. Thats pretty much all I need to say. It's pretty fucking awesome. Ryan Reynolds was born to play that role.

Seriously fabulous.

In Deadpool, a modestly scaled and mostly straightforward superhero origin story is supercharged with brutality, profanity, self-referential cynicism, and a certain form of anarchic posturing. The film is bogus to a degree—one can sense it adhering to formula even as it feigns kinky singularity, particularly when it confuses calling attention to a cliché with subverting a cliché—and a tad wearying by the end after mounting so, so many dead bodies and one-liners, but it also has an eager-to-please charm and a visual fluidity courtesy of first-time feature director Tim Miller, an F/X technician whose credits include Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and the oily-sexy opening credits of David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. After playing a widely maligned version of 'Pool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which turned a character most famous for his deranged loquacity into a mute automaton), Ryan Reynolds' commitment to nerd redemption is clearly enormous, and the role suits his charismatic-bordering-on-frantic screen presence. Newcomer Brianna Hildebrand is also striking as über-obscure Professor X student Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and one hopes she is given more to do in future X-Men and/or Deadpool sequels.

Probably my favorite superhero film. As funny as it is, what makes it better is it cares about its storyline/characters and has heart. It could have gone the other way and just been shallow joke cracking, but it wasn't at all. Wade and Vanessa love story was awesome. The sequence of them getting together up to the diagnosis is one of the best parts of the film. Wade is a character who's felt real pain and disappointment in his life, and his jokes almost come from the same place as Damon in The Martian's where it's admirable he can keep up his spirit no matter the conditions. Stuff like the pain of being too ashamed to show his face to her, made him more relatable. All the supporting characters like Colossus, moody teenage nuclear whatever, blind crackhead grandma, taxi driver guy, bartending side-kick worked. Francis while typically evil, was great compared to MCU villain standards recently, I just felt the genuine hatred between him and Wade (but also love???) and desire to kick each other's asses. The action scenes were very strong. Overall this film has everything - it's hilarious, has a great romance, has good fights. An instant classic

Probably my fave superhero movie since tdkr

That was fucking AWESOME. Easily better than the last two Vaughn/Singer X-Men movies and just behind X2 as my favorite. I honestly wasn't expecting to like it that much, but I had a blast and it helps seeing it with a BIG audience. The humor was great and I'm so glad they didn't spoil everything in the trailers. Reynolds casting is perfection and it's completely his show the entire time. I even dug the romance between him and his girl and that is usually the weakest stuff in these type of films for me. I actually got invested in their relationship and when things took a serious turn it was handled really well. The action sequences are badass and violent and the smaller scope didn't bother me one bit. It worked much better here than in ANT-MAN IMO. Supporting cast is pretty solid aswell especially Miller, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

As far as villains go Carano and Skrein were capable if unspectacular, but this was a very welcomed improvement for Skrein in comparison to shit like Transporter: Refueled.

Are people here comic readers? The trailers did nothing for me.

Question in retrospect: what are they fighting on in the end? An...aircraft carrier at a scrapyard in downtown Vancouver?

I'm not much of a comicbook guy and I didn't even know who Deadpool was until X-Men Origins. That being said I did expect it to be ALOT of dick/sex jokes and while there are some I was surprised at how clever the humor was at times. The random shots of the abandoned X-Men academy were enough to make me crack up and the payoff that came later was excellent. The McCavoy/Stewart joke was great too.



Looked like a beached Hellacarrier to me lol!.

My first thought was it's supposed to be one of the ruined flying aircraft carriers from Captain American 2. It'd be a weird nod, all things considered, but with this film... probably par for the course.

It was a Helicarrier.

Fun movie, but it ran out of steam by the end. This is a comedy, and a good one, but 108 minutes is just too long to keep that sort of momentum up.

Deadpool's tone is so self-aware and smug that it could've been obnoxious in the wrong hands, but thankfully Ryan Reynolds and the filmmakers keep it perfectly moving along. This is an at times hilarious, rollicking good time that manages to be a change of pace from the exhausting years of non-stop superhero movies we've had. After years of struggling to find a film that suits him, Reynolds hits the bullseye here. This is definitely his movie through and through, though Morena Baccarin is appealing and helps the central romance have enough relevance to get the audience to care. B+

Not best superhero film ever but it is definitely very entertaining and is a nice homage to the character even if not all of the jokes land strongly.

Honestly, the movie tries way too hard. It works in the moment because it is so original, but I was certainly something a little stronger than we received. The majority of the jokes are not funny, which for a comedy is bad. The more random the jokes were better ("God I miss cocaine" or the picture of Hugh Jackman) than the ones which are supposed to be funny. The romance is non existent. The bad guys retarded. Honestly, the folks saying Reynolds kills it...I really don't agree. A lot of his schtick is way too over the top ala prime Jim Carrey. For example, the convos between Wade and his GF are beyond annoying after the first few minutes, even though they're supposed to be funny in a weird sort of way.

It works through sheer originality, but I can't help thinking there is a much better version of this same set up out there.

I'd give it a solid B-. The folks saying this is their fave comic book movie...settle.

Pretty much this. Way too much stupid here.

What!? Excel downplaying an extremely popular Marvel film? I'm shocked

Not really.

It was an aircraft carrier that flies but Marvel said couldn't be actually be a Helicarrier, so they redesigned it.

But it's still an aircraft carrier that flies, which means it's still really a Helicarrier. Reese and Wernick joked in an interview at HitFix a couple days ago that they just made a couple tweaks to it.

I love Marvels 3 most popular films (avengers, iron man, and ca2).

As usual, American humour falters when carrying over to non-Americans.

Action was so-so, best bit was from the first trailer. Humour fell in a lot of places.

David hits the nail on the head with this gem:

confuses calling attention to a cliché with subverting a cliché

In particular, the final embrace between Deadpool and lover. Just fit to a tee superhero relationships. All about the male, the female is there to act as something pretty to look at and suck cock nicely. All the previous characterization out the window. Couldn't tell her apart from Natalie Portman in Thor or whoever Captain America's love interests are or Paltrow, Holmes, etc etc etc.
