SAME STEPH NEED RESOLUTION THERE AHAHAHAHA.

I'm pulling for Dopinder and Gita, but Tim pointed out that he was in a wreck with his cousin tied up in the trunk and a duffle bag full of guns, so. I told Tim he just wasn't a romantic.

(I seriously wanted the post-credits scene to be Dopinder and Gita's wedding. BECAUSE I'M A GODDAMN ROMANTIC.)

DEADPOOL IS THE BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE EVER. Also, the best romantic movie ever. Okay, the best not-entirely-serious superhero movie ever. Sticking with the best-romance assessment, though.

It is very graphically violent. Also, there's sex and some references you don't want to have to explain to an innocent child. I agree, this is not a movie for kids.

It did pretty damn good on the feminist front, too. Nobody got fridged, Deadpool was out to avenge himself. No helpless damsels, Vanessa needed rescuing but she got herself out of the pod and then she stuck a sword in Ajax to save Deadpool. Angel and Warhead both had actual personalities, and neither were sexualized. Not a whole lot of women talking to each other, but to be fair, Deadpool did most of the talking.

I'm happy.

For all the praise, I think I'm going to skip Deadpool. Gore and rough language bother me. I am at peace with my snowflakeness.

Connie, it's pretty hardcore. I think you might enjoy reading about it on moviespoilers.com because the jokes were really good and virtually non-stop. But, as Steph mentioned, the torture scenes are raw and in no way fun.

The casting was surprisingly awesome. I was truly impressed.

I, too, want to hear the follow up everyone is talking about, though Tim makes a fine point.

The young'uns I saw it with had a hard time with some of the references...especially (in a way that just makes me sad)...the very last bit. I felt like I was giving them a history lesson. sigh.

Despite that, I enjoyed Deadpool way more than I thought I would!

And now I want a Bernadetter Peters coin purse . Is that a thing from the books?

So it sounds like Deadpool is Kick-Ass/Kingsmen but way, way better? Fair assessment? i'm so there. Sounds like Robocop (the original - why oh why a remake) for the 10s.

Yeah, we basically talked Frances into not seeing it, but she had a bit of regret. Then about an hour later her friend texted her to say *her* dad had nixed it too when he realized it was rated R. So instead we watched The Martian. Works for me!

Everything I've heard indicates it's a barely-avoided-NC-17-R, not slightly-more-violent-than-PG-13-R.

I haven't seen the movie, yet, but I remember back when it was rumored it was going to be PG-13 and the discussions of how it could still work by having Deadpool telling the audience what horrible thing he would normally do or say in a given situation, but he's not allowed to because of the movie rating.

One of the more brilliant suggestions I saw was a running gag about Deadpool trying to decide when to use his lone F-bomb but then someone else does it near the end (bonus points if it's a Wolverine cameo) and he gets really angry at that person for stealing his moment.

So it sounds like Deadpool is Kick-Ass/Kingsmen but way, way better? Fair assessment?

I didn't see Kick-Ass or Kingsmen, but from the reviews/descriptions I've read of the two movies -- yeah, Deadpool is in that category w/r/t the over-the-top, extremely graphic uber-violence.

I have seen all of them and it's a fair comparison with regards to violence and sex, though thankfully the ending of Deadpool doesn't completely undermine the whole movie like in Kingsmen.
