Deadpool - Review Thread

Just imagine all the children sneering at you.  "Deadpool?  That was soooo three months ago!"

It'll be beautiful, an empty theater with just me, my mom and a bucket of popcorn that she bought for me on a Tuesday afternoon. Ahhh the good life.

Speaking of steelbooks, Best Buy has Deadpool in steelbook. I might swing by when I get a chance.

I get it, Deadpool isn't supposed to be the run of the mill comic book character. He's crass, he's offensive and he breaks the fourth wall. I just didn't dig it. I admit that it's mostly due to my preferences in comedy that I'm typically not impressed by lowest common denominator dick and ball humor, the main type of humor used on Deadpool. The thing about this movie is that the idea of the movie seems to be more enjoyable than the movie itself. On paper Deadpool sounds like a fun ride. In practice it just hit those beats without really taking it anywhere. For a two hour superhero movie not a whole lot happens. There's an obligatory origin story albeit in flashback which is at least kind of a change of pace. But the villains don't amount to a whole lot, there's not much of a story or a situation, everything exists for Deadpool to mock and so Deadpool can rattle off some boner jokes. You might think 'Oh Doomsday, you just don't get it' but really, what is there to get? Rather I'll just admit that this just wasn't my speed, I didn't find it very funny because I'm not 14 and otherwise there wasn't much else to offer. The time I do remember laughing was Colossus puking after Deadpool shoots a guy in the head. Just the idea of Colossus getting sick is silly enough to work.

Oh, and be sure to be on the lookout for a surprise cameo by Stan Lee. Yes, THE Stan Lee! He created several Marvel characters and people thought it would be creative to FINALLY give him a cameo in a Marvel movie. I'm glad they finally figured a way to work him in there somehow.

Although despite what I said in the Civil War thread, this post-credits scene is actually really funny.

C- so says Doomsday

Hey I said it was on me this time, if you like it that's cool but I thought it was borderline infantile.

Is this because I didn't like Grown Ups 2? I'm sure there are others who agree with me!

Deadpool reused scene from X-Men: The Last Stand

I used to work at Best Buy and even still I can't remember the last time I walked into one, wow.

I get 99% of everything online. Do you shop in-store for the steelbooks?

Yup. They have a section just for steelbook's.



I've worked the store AND the warehouse, so I know people's perception "of the back" isn't accurate. It's either a storage room filled with boxes or an actual warehouse that's practically separate from the store - with its own management & staff. So asking an employee if it's in the back is the most annoying thing you can do.

I miss FYE. They closed all the stores near me, like, 5 years ago. In high school, my friends and I would go to the mall and spend AT LEAST an hour browsing through FYE's music, movies and merchandise. We didn't buy anything, just hang out. Well, that isn't entirely true. There was two FYE's I used to go to. One was a BIG store in a major mall and everything was overpriced. The other was in small, I wanna say, neighborhood mall. That's where I did most of my movie shopping. There was also Spec music, which I think is owned by FYE, but that place was a fucking dump. At least the one near me. I only went there if I was REALLY desperate. It was the Circuit City of music stores.
