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.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I agree, this is not a movie for kids.
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
