It has been researched that parents who are open honest and teach their kids about drugs sex alcohol. Have higher rate of kids that dont fall for that stuff
taking your kids to deadpool is the exact opposite of being honest and teaching kids about drugs sex and alcohol though 
 
Saw the movie last night and I thought it was awesome. My only complaint; which isn't that big of a deal, was how the story was told.

**Spoiler**
I loved all the shots they were taking at  anything, everything and anyone. The Wolverine: Origins movie part, hopefully most of you guys caught the part when they showed the action figure of how he looked. They took a shot at  Green Lantern. I was lmao when Colossus was dragging Deadpool to take him to see Professor X and he says "which one ? Stewart or McAvoy ?" Lol at the Stan Lee cameo. There are just too many to type here but I'm sure most of this stuff flew over peoples heads. Hopefully you guys stayed for the post credit scene which was cool too and hearing Cable will be in Deadpool 2.
I can't wait for Civil War and idk about X-Men: Apocalypse yet. I went in with low expectations for Days of Future Past and came out pleased with the movie. I'm guessing I'm gonna do the same with Apocalypse and hopefully it will be the same result but I doubt it.
 
one thing I wish they added to the movie was when he's in the oxygen chamber and turning into deadpool, there should have been the voices from his multiple personalities kicking in. Would have been fine if we never hear them again for the rest of the movie. But it would be a nice set up if they want to use them in the sequel or just a cool easter egg
 
A lot of parents are just straight up ignoring the rating. Only reason I see why it's blowing up so much lol

Bringing in 10 years is questionable to me

If you're bringing 5-6 year olds you need your parentship revoked. Same type of parents that would probably lock their kids in a hot van by mistake.

Don't wanna go there. That's a huge can of worms that you don't wanna open. Taking a kid to a movie that you (or even the world) doesn't approve of doesn't make them bad parents. There's people who say a parent is bad for giving their kid a soda. There's people who think spanking is brutality and think timeout is negligence. It is what it is.

Just say you wouldn't and leave it at that. Do what you feel is right with your kid. You can probably see and hear worse in Walmart than in Deadpool.
 
All I know is that Deadpool 2 will be LIT based on this new financial info and the post-credits scene, so I'm 100% glad that folks brought their toddlers to the movie

Will they use the new recent discovery that one of the voices is Madcap?
 
I wouldn't take my kid, but I'm not going to act like I didn't grow up on all those R rated films of the 80s and 90s. Steven Seagal was breaking elbows, Jason and Freddy Kruger were horrific murderers and we were in school chanting yippee Kay yay mother ****** etc etc.
 
I wouldn't take my kid to see the movie unless he or she was 15 or older. Anything below that is questionable I think. It also just depends what kind of parents you are and how you raise your children but no parent should dare complain about bringing a young child to a movie that clearly says is RATED-R and then make complaints on how the movie was. The ratings are there a reason.

lol I attribute being able to see all that wild stuff because my parents were immigrants so they didnt even get some of that stuff.

Movie was good, excited for sequel.
 
In terms of taking kids to see it, I have no issues with the violence. I was playing Mortal Kombat and stuff like that before I was 10.

My biggest issue is the sexual stuff. If it was just exposed booty and ******* then that wouldn't be bad. But nah the dialogue is hella sexual and that sex montage was OD. I know I didn't know about strap ons, buttsex, and masturbation when I was

Saw it saturday, loved it.

Guy from the AT&T commercials being the cab driver was hilarious.

How about Ron Pearlman for Cable
 
lmao my movie theater was so od on the thursday night showing man. they weren't having no refunds with parents being pissed at how vulgar the movie was nor were they catching that mpaa fine. they carded everyone 3 times between purchasing the ticket and getting into the actual theater.

were enforcing the 21 years or older guardian and no small kids after 6:00 rule, saw people getting tossed out of line left and right lol. 
 
I really don't give a **** what other parents do thats they problem, I know my kids ain't seeing this no time soon :lol:


Back to movie though who they gonna cast for you know who in the sequel?
 
overall movie was jokes, even though some lines were hit or miss for me.

perfect casting for Deadpool. perfect like RDJ = Stark, Ledger = Joker, JK Simmons = JJJ.

excited to see more of this character.
 
Deadpool might have been the worst movie I have seen in at least 5 years. Cringeworthy dialogue and plot, bad CGI, and only like 5 characters in the whole movie.
 
/\ ignore that guy /\

For me, thoroughly enjoyed it, love that they made sure we recognize its still apart of the larger X-Men family. Collosul and Nega Warhead girl were great

My parents were the immigrants too and I agree that they were less sensitive to that kind of stuff, so those R-rated action movies were the norm in my house growing up. Hell, Cobra was probably my GOAT movie at 5 years old :lol:

What's weird though is that the only movie my pops didn't want me to watch as a kid was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Now that I think about it, I'm sure it was probably based off a neighbors suggestion or something because there's no way my pop's would have known or watched that movie :lol:
 
James Gunn [emoji]10004[/emoji] @JamesGunn

#Deadpool was 100% perfect besides that I now have to remove the Quill-Nebula-Sinead-O’Connor joke from the #GotGVol2 script.


James Gunn on Deadpool:

"The film has a self-deprecating tone that’s riotous. It’s never been done before. It’s poking fun at Marvel. That label takes itself so seriously, can you imagine them making fun of themselves in a movie? They’d rather stab themselves."

That's a quote from Deadline Hollywood, attributing it to a Hollywood "suit." I love Deadline and get a lot of my film business news from them. And I love Deadpool even more - the film is hilariously funny, has lots of heart, and is exactly what we need right now, taking true risks in spectacle film - but COME THE [frick] ON. That's no reason to rewrite history. This quote has to have been said by the dumbest [frick]ing Hollywood exec in the history of dumb [frick]ing Hollywood execs.

Let's ignore Guardians for a moment, a movie that survives from moment to moment building itself up and cutting itself down - God knows I'm biased about that one. But what do you think Favreau and Downey did in Iron Man? What the [frick] was Ant-Man??!

Come on, Deadline.

After every movie smashes records people here in Hollywood love to throw out the definitive reasons why the movie was a hit. I saw it happen with Guardians. It "wasn't afraid to be fun" or it "was colorful and funny" etc etc etc. And next thing I know I hear of a hundred film projects being set up "like Guardians," and I start seeing dozens of trailers exactly like the Guardians trailer with a big pop song and a bunch of quips. Ugh.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Deadpool wasn't that. Deadpool was its own thing. THAT'S what people are reacting to. It's original, it's damn good, it was made with love by the filmmakers, and it wasn't afraid to take risks.

For the theatrical experience to survive, spectacle films need to expand their definition of what they can be. They need to be unique and true voices of the filmmakers behind them. They can't just be copying what came before them.

So, over the next few months, if you pay attention to the trades, you'll see Hollywood misunderstanding the lesson they should be learning with Deadpool. They'll be green lighting films "like Deadpool" - but, by that, they won't mean "good and original" but "a raunchy superhero film" or "it breaks the fourth wall." They'll treat you like you're stupid, which is the one thing Deadpool didn't do.

But hopefully in the midst of all this there will be a studio or two that will take the right lesson from this - like Fox did with Guardians by green-lighting Deadpool - and say - "Boy, maybe we can give them something they don't already have."

And that's who is going to succeed.
