Great move! I loved the self-deprecating humor. Reminds me of myself. Well, expect for the kicking *** part. LOL. Saw it today with the missus. If you can stand the vulgarity it's a nice change of pace where most of Marvel's super hero flicks just trade punches (or whatever power they possess) back and forth until the title characters win in the end. This had some decent character developments. There was a large amount of the film dedicated to the character's origin. Now, they are ready to franchise it. I know I will catch the inevitable sequel.

Last week, I went a saw Hail, Casaer! Loved the period piece. Great performances all around. There's so many crappy movies that it's nice to see these come out right after the Oscar stuff (another favorite time of mine).

I look forward to watching it. Good for Ryan Reynolds. He has had some stinkers and he had no shot in Green Lantern as it was just a terrible movie all the way around.

I'm really glad it's doing so well in the box office. Now it should clear the way for more Deadpool movies and X-Force movies featuring Deadpool.

I will probably see it this weekend. Liked how they sorta teased him as Deadpool in the Wolverine movie.

Ryan Reynolds career was on life support. This will save it. Well, at least for this franchise. Kind of like Robert Downey, Jr.

Enjoyed Hail Caesar too. Of course, very few movies can match Big Lebowski or Raising Arizona, but this one is fun. Will have to read up on Deadpool. I can't keep up with the characters in these comic strip movies. If indeed this is one of the comic strip to big screen flicks.

I enjoy Clooney though. Michael Clayton is still a favorite, and really like Syriana.

Made the mistake of taking my 12 y/o with me to see it. Oops. I escorted him out in about 12 minutes or less and had my daughter come pick him up. It's good, but it didn't have to be so filthy either. It was good enough without the filth, and perhaps I wouldn't have cared if I had researched what this was first. I honestly thought it was something like "Antman 2" or something like that. I honestly didn't even know it was rated "R", which again is 100% on me. Worth seeing though.
