Brian Fowler Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 That. Was. Awesome. I could quibble about the shaky cam ruining some of the action scenes (it did) but holy fuck they actually did it. They translated Deadpool's over the top, internet zeitgeist grabbing, absolutely without rules tone to the screen. Even as the trailers and commercials hit that tone, I still had doubts the whole film could or would. It did. Holy hell it did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 My biggest conplaint is actually that Outside the opening, once we know his origin Deadpool seems less crazy and more of the same kind of goofy and sarcastic that Wade already was. It's not a big deal though and an easy fix for a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We liked it a lot. My only complaint was that in merging Weasel and Patch, we won't get to see Weasel make insane guns and gadgets for Wade in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The only worry I have with a sequel is that it will have a substantially bigger budget since this one was so popular, which will lead to a lot of studio execs wanting to offer their input. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I just want a fourth-wall-breaking attempt to explain Cable's history in all its inane insanity. Bonus points for attempting to mention Captain America's shield without violating the wall between Fox and Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Saw it yesterday and loved it. Its might not be the best of the Fox Marvel films, but it was definitely the funniest and possibly my favorite now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way a sequel will be able to top this one. So let's just enjoy this euphoria while we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Keep the real heroes together and keep the feel and address some of the limitations the budget imposed on the first movie (so-so action, a largely unknown cast, minimal involvement of the X-Men, and I don't see a reason not to be positive.

Craig H Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The success of this one could give the writer and director even more cache to do whatever they want. As crazy as Deadpool was, the next could get even more insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Or, the success of this one causes the studio to be all paranoid about fucking up their new cash cow, and they demand a lot more control over the sequel. See the examples of Spider-man 3, X-men 3, and Avengers: Age of Ultron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 in your dreams Kevin Nash. IMHO, scope and scale aren't everything. This movie did have a low budget but as a result it had to get creative and was able to fully embrace Deadpool's style and be something different than the usual superhero ilk. Sometimes these movies sacrifice substance for the sake of scale and spectacle. This movie didn't have to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a minimum of two years between entries, then three. Less can be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 This won't be a spoiler as it's in the trailer, I appreciated the film recreating the CGI footage which finally started Deadpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Make no mistake, this looked every bit of it's $58 million budget. I don't mean it looked bad, but they got a shitload of mileage out of the highway scene. It felt like that's where most of the movie took place. Aside from blood squibs, Colossus, and NGT, there wasn't a lot in the way of CGI and while you could tell the squibs and such were CGI, Colossus still looked good. He looked and felt real in his scenes. And the animation during the last scene was hilarious and worked well. I'm hoping with a bigger budget it just means we'll see more than 3 settings and we'll have cleaner CGI. Hell, go for more practical effects if you have the budget for it.

Pete Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I hate you guys. We kid you just for the halibut. Saw Deadpool yesterday and it was exactly as batshit crazy as you wanted it to be. "Funny how there's only the two of you here. It's almost like the studio couldn't afford more X-Men." Line of the movie. We fucking howled at that one.
