Michael* Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So, this is now officially the highest-earning R-rated movie of all time, grossing $745m worldwide and beating the previous record holder 'The Matrix Reloaded'. Which I actually had no clue was an R-rated movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevork89 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It's pretty amazing and it's the highest grossing of all X-Men movies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't shake the feeling that they've made a movie for adolescent boys that only the adults are able to see. 3/10 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Pool was made for fans of the character and stayed true to the character. I guess some people wouldn't like that instead of trying for mass appeal. Read the first post on this page because the movie was ultimately a huge success. I thought Dead Pool was refreshing because I have comic book movie fatigue. For me the Marvel comic book movies were starting to get boring even though they are ultimately building & intertwining the stories for a grandiose payoff at the end.

SympathysSilhouette Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 This was a very pleasant surprise. This and Ant-man both were finally something a bit different from the Marvel universe. I hope for much more of the same. Glad it's already getting a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Deadpool is that he's a pretty niche character who doesn't have a great deal of recognition beyond very specific circles. Fox's marketing department made up for that by bringing in viewers who were just as interested in seeing it as a raunch comedy as they were in seeing it as a superhero story. I wouldn't say it worked because it was R-rated though, far from it. I think it worked because it was anarchic and irreverent and used the freedom of that rating to amp up those elements. It took advantage of existing inside a known universe and subverting it, a bit like punk rock kicking against a more corporate product.

SympathysSilhouette Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I agree with the notion of Marvel fatigue. Especially when it comes to their huge, ensemble films. My favorite two of the past couple of years have been "Deadpool" and "Ant-man", precisely because they were smaller in scale and different from the rest.

RIP_Cabrini_Green Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Absolutely fell in love with this movie... Watched it last night for the first time. When I first saw his face I initially thought of Freddy Kruger....and then Bam....minutes later there's a Freddy Kruger reference. Love it!
