[QUOTE=Menien Goneld;49723875]I've heard this so many times about almost every appearance Deadpool makes, but honestly, what is the good stuff? Where does 'actual deadpool' appear?

[b]Inglorious Basterds (2009)[/b] Wow. I think historical revisionism is possibly one of the worst crimes a man could commit in this day and age. This is, quite literally, a betrayal of humanity. [sp]Not only did Tarantino portray these Nazi [i]fucks[/i] as "sympathetic", he also made a bunch of torturous, sadistic American jews kill Hitler and single-handedly win World War 2.[/sp] I am grossly offended. it was a pretty cool movie tho

The only time they are is when they are common foot soldiers or low-ranking officers.

I just got out of Deadpool...just a quick comment, not a review, but the guy in the thread shitting all over it must have watched another movie than me. This was everything deadpool fans could have wanted in a mainstream theatrical release. Of course there are juvenile jokes, but there was also a lot more than that, and personally I thought it was fun, funny and cool as hell.

I remember one of my friends telling me that his buddy thought Basterds was historical fiction, and then [sp]they killed Hitler[/sp] and he was like "well, I guess not"

Just saw Deadpool, really liked it.

Deadpool is a really fun movie and is also incredibly self aware of what it is, just take the title sequence for example: [sp] Where instead of names there is, "A British villain", and "A hot girl" [/sp] It does have a post credits scene. [sp]He says to take your trash out of the theater, at which point my friend accidentally dropped his trash on the floor. Everyone heard it.[/sp]

Deadpool was fantastic. Not only a great super hero film but one of the best comedies to come out in recent years. Very superb and worth a watch.

Just watched "It Follows". That was one of the creepiest fucking films I have ever seen. Their reliance on an ultra-tense atmosphere and lack of jump-scares was fucking excellent. That tall motherfucker with no eyes. God damn.

Deadpool beats all the X-men movies, Batman, Super Man, Avengers, whoever whatever. Stay all through the credits because it's so worth it.

I am grossly offended. it was a pretty cool movie tho[/QUOTE] It doesn't present Nazis as sympathetic fellows, but diminishes the contrast between both sides by presenting American Jews as just as brutal and sadistic as the bullies that history presents as ultimate evil. It was both risky and subtle, but that decision paid off. It switches the expectation - Jews are widely known as the biggest victim of WWII while Tarantino takes the approach that war is hell and there are no good sides or bad sides, everyone is equally horrible on war and the winner takes the glory. [sp]The scene in the cinema where nazis laugh and cheer at killing allies, while 15 minutes later real life audience does exactly the same at killing nazis in the cinema was the best "ironic/metaphoric" moment in Tarantino's career, and easily switches this film to his best[/sp]

[QUOTE=doomevil;49725967]Deadpool, was fantastic? I'm scared.[/QUOTE] People can have different opinions.

[QUOTE=Zuimzado;49726263]People can have different opinions.[/QUOTE] I think you made everyone scared because of that one single review you posted in MCU thread. I mean it certainly wasn't perfect. I personally didn't like [sp]the amount of pre mutation origin story content. them glossing over finding Ajax through all those people, etc[/sp]. I also noticed some editing mistakes, for example [sp]deadpool not having his swords when falling into the garbage truck, but coming out with both of them.[/sp] and END SPOILERS [sp]when he gets stabbed in the head. After he pulls it out, you see the hole in his head but in a later cut you don't see the hole, but then the next cut the hole is back[/sp] You can tell it had a lower budget and I went into the movie expecting that. I also went in expecting cheesy and offensive comedy and good action, which is what I got. The humor matched my liking and the action was enough to satisfy me but also leave me with wanting a lot more. With the amount of marvel films lately that don't push themselves enough to keep that PG-13 rating so they can still market it for kids, it's nice to see a marvel (albeit fox) film that doesn't do that and to be solely made for the adults. As for the jokes, yes they had a lot of crude, sexual humor, but they delivered it in a way that was original and still funny, and it didn't grind out the same jokes for minutes like some bad comedies do to try and get cheap laughs. It does the joke and moves on. Hell, even the [sp]masterbating[/sp] jokes were done in a way that was actually pretty funny, for me when [sp]he had lost his hand and it looked like a baby hand[/sp]. That shit was genuinely funny for me. But they also had a good number of pop culture jokes, obvious jabs at their own franchises [sp]and even the MCU franchise[/sp], and jokes that didn't even refer to their own franchises. There were SOME jokes that kind of fell flat for me, but that's the case for most comedies, not ever joke will land. It's different for everyone. Yes the story was cliché and pretty stereotypical, but even the movie knew that and played on it. That's what made it great was how self aware it was. You had [sp]"hot girl", "british villain", yadda yadda[/sp] and of course it'd play out how you expect it to, and I think they knew that off the bat. Who knows, it could be because how horrible ant-man was and how disappointing avengers 2 was for me that I just have a really bad taste in my mouth. I don't think that's the case here. The movie did a good job of meeting my expectations and I came out of the movie satisfied. As a super hero movie, it's definitely one of the best. Even as a standalone film, it's very solid. Everyone in the theater had just as good of a time as I did. The best part was that there was no kids. It's a movie that is fantastically refreshing to see in a time of washed out super hero movies where you can expect the same shit every time. None of the recent MCU movies brought anything new to the table, and they're too afraid to bring out anything that might be R rated content so they don't lose their children fanbase. If they made their movies darker like Daredevil or Jessica Jones, they'd probably have a lot better film ideas. Hopefully Deadpool starts this new trend of bringing something a bit more dark to the table.

All the movie did was point shit out and it didn't play with it. Can you give me one instance besides the opening credit where you can genuinely say 'oh this is the movie playing with the idea of a british villain?' Deadpool doesn't 'play' with anything. It barely classifies above a badly written tumblr post in the deconstruction scale.

[/quote] I felt like this was the most childish Marvel movie ever made. The screenwriters were so preoccupied with whether they could they didn't stop to think if they should. Especially in the joke department. Yes. We get it. You're R-rated. You don't need to have your character say three masturbation jokes in the span of 10 minutes.

Deadpool is a cliched and generic storyline (by your own admission) which literally brings nothing new to the table in the terms that actually count (for a movie that supposedly advances the genre, it sure amounts to a fat wad of nothing), but because they have low level stand up winking (pointing out you're stepping in dog shit doesn't change the fact you're stepping in dog shit) makes it refreshing?

[QUOTE=redBadger;49727200]I think you made everyone scared because of that one single review you posted in MCU thread.[/QUOTE] No I saw a trailer, thats all it took

Memepool - 6/10 I shouldn't have to hear "go in with low expectations" in regards to any sort of media. That being said, it's an okay flick. A few things: 2nd half of the movie felt uncomfortably empty for some reason. Villain was laughably one-dimensional, in a bad way. The original trailer jokes stayed in, which I have no problem with, but it was kinda surprising considering they teased switching them around vocally in multiple trailers. Which follows into a VERY minor detail that consistently bugged me throughout the movie...it was oftentimes obvious when they dubbed Ryan's voice in when the actual footage shows him saying something else through the mask. Some jokes were very hit-and-miss(especially repeating jokes from the beginning of the movie near the end), but when they hit, they fucking hit.

Gonna break the chain of deadpools: Just came home after watching Zootropolis/Zootopia. Had been pretty excited for it, so I had some decently high expectations. Wasn't disappointed, at all. It has tons of (good) humor at just the right times, the story was pretty good, and the animation/visuals were really good, too. Oh yeah, and lovable character designs all around. Can't hate 'em. It's just that good. Only thing I disliked was that there was not enough time for that amount of story, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad in any way, but I just feel like it advanced too fast, and there could've been a lot more stuff to tell. Then again, it's kinda to be expected from movies like that, I guess, so it's no big deal. Would definitely recommend watching it asap. I love it, 9/10 is fair to say.

Everything is a meme now.

What is Zootopia about, though?

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;49729536]What is Zootopia about, though?[/QUOTE] 48 hours except Eddie Murphy is a fox

Hot girls wanted. So this is supposed to be a documentary showing the horrible world of amateur porn but what it really does is victimizing grown women who willingly gets into porn and then regrets it. The movie tries to beat this idea into your head that the women come from respectable families, have gone to respectable schools and are generally respectable but somehow the big bad porn industry indoctrinated these poor grown women to become porn stars because a man made an ad on craigslist, offering lots of quick cash that he gave to them after they did their job. 25000 dollars for fucking 4 months work. The only person I felt sorry for in the movie was the boyfriend of one of the women who tries to be understanding towards her but you can clearly see that he hates that his girlfriend does porn. This movie could have been a great eye opener to the horrible things that I imagine goes on in the underground porn industry and although it makes me appreciate the very hard work of women in porn it also manages to perpetuate stupid ideas about women being fragile beings who can't look after themselves and sex in general. 1/10. It gets the one point solely because it features hot women.

[QUOTE=Water-Marine;49729225]I shouldn't have to hear "go in with low expectations" in regards to any sort of media.[/QUOTE] See, I [I]almost[/I] want to agree but I've enjoyed a lot of lower-quality (b-movies?) movies because of relatively lower expectations. Like, I watched Gangster Squad recently and I knew it wasn't going to be [I]Heat[/I] but rather more of a lowbrow pulpy action movie. Or The Man From UNCLE, which had had some bad reviews but pleasantly surprised me. Because I wasn't expecting the best they were able to really win me over and I had a good time watching. Of course there are movies where the bad outweighs the good, but just because a movie is a 6/10 doesn't mean it's a 0/10.
