Cringe worthy humour.


How do people find this funny? The amount of sex, fart and dick jokes make it the perfect movie for 15 year olds. How the *beep* does this have an 8.4? It's rated higher than cinema masterpieces like Pan's Labyrinth and A Fistful of Dollars.

There should be a minimum voting age on this site.

I agree, this "movie" was an abomination. Can´t believe the 8.4 rating, more like 4.8 and that would still be too high for this turd.

putting movie in quotations automatically nullifies anything you say. whether or not it is a movie was never in question.

if you don't have anything nice to say ...you're probably a butthole

Wanky wanky wank wank wank. Wanky wank wank wanker.

The hundreds of millions of dollars it has made kinda nullifies any opinions in which you may have.

reply

You rated Batman vs Superman (A movie you probably haven't even seen) a 1.

Obviously you're just a 15 year old marvel fanboy.

reply

You assume that people haven't seen movies they rate low because you can't comprehend that someone would dislike a movie you think is good.

Obviously you're a 15 year old DC fanboy.

;)

reply

Oh yeah cos a rating of 1 is justified after a week of a movies release. I agree the guy is a marvel fanboy

reply

Just as the original poster assumes that someone who rates a movie high that they dislike must be a 15 year old. When in reality, comedy is entirely subjective. Just because you didn't enjoy the humor, does not mean it's not funny. It simply means, YOU don't find it funny.

Also, compare the rating of this movie to Pan's Labyrinth is ridiculous. One has nothing to do with the other.

Move on.

Ironic given that you'd need the sense of humour of a 15yo to find this funny.

reply

Is it so hard to be able to find both high brow, and low brow humour, funny?

I can laugh at a fun or silly dick/fart joke, I can also appreciate a clever, slow burn, classy retort or observation and everything in between.

Do people really only find one kind enjoyable? Has it become like the Republican/Democrat BS political spectrum?

And to be honest, this entire argument makes all of you sound like 15 year olds.

Damn, you just owned him lol.

too true mate

Adam Sandler movies have also made hundreds of millions of dollars. What's your point?

reply

ya cause transformers 4 and alice in wonderland made a billion dollars. they mustbe quality films

reply

Yeah the humour wasn't my cup of tea. It was slightly amusing for the first segment on the highway but a whole movie of this *beep* No thanks.

reply

I also don't get the high rating. Not just the humor, a lot with this film was just pointless - I was bored throughout the whole thing. For whatever reason I kept comparing it to Kingsman: The Secret Service, but at least that one was funny. This one doesn't deserve more than 6-7 / 10 on my scale.

reply

I was surprised. I expected it to be better. Much better...

reply

It definitely wasn't very funny in my opinion... I liked it, but the humour was its flattest component.

reply

So I take it you are not in the slightest familiar with the source material? Then why even go and watch the movie?

He's called "Merc with a mouth" for a reason and the raunchy humor is a big part of his appeal. The ratings are that good because the movie manages to stay very *beep* true to the source material, to such a degree that no "super hero movie" managed before.

But good on you for complaining about a comic book character having "15 year old humor", I guess nobody could have seen that coming, huh?

Btw: You must be really fun at parties, not.

reply

So because something stays close to its source material, it means its good? Deadpool isn't a good movie. It's humour is still *beep* even if its source had *beep* humour as well, it doesn't make it any good.

reply

The things is, you keep saying its not a good movie while you should be saying. I don't think its a good movie. In the wise words of Jon Stewart: saying something loud, doesn't make it true.

I'm 34 never read the comics, loved it and buying it when it releases on Blue-ray.

Cant wait for the sequel

Are you implying it made over 700 millions from people who read the comics? Most people who watch film adaptations don't even read the comic/book the movie is adapted from. It's supposed to be for a wider audience, not just the original fans. Do you think everyone read the Harry Potter books, the Lord of the Rings books, the Game of Thrones books?

Btw: You must be really fun at parties, not.


What a lame argument. "You don't have the same sense of humor I do, you must be boring at parties!!!"

reply

33 years old. I loved it. 8.4 isn't high enough in my opinion.
Yes the jokes were crude, but that's Deadpool. I laughed my ass off.
It is what it is, and it doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. Excellent movie.

reply

33 years old and you think it deserves a 8.4? that's depressing af

reply

Ever heard the word "opinions"? Ever considered that yours ain't the only valid one? Ever thought about the possibility that people have different "taste" in humor"? No? How old are you then?

How is it "depressing af" when people enjoy something you don't? Are you some kind of misanthrope who just hates it when other people have fun?

reply

On a message board and didn't comprehend the comment you're responding to, that's depressing af

32 yo over here and i agree with him, the movie was hilarious.

As far as really bad low-bro comedies with lame fart jokes go, i would mention The Interview, which single-handedly redefined the word turd for future generations. Deadpool on the other hand was spot-on. I watched it maybe 4-5 times so far with different crowds and I keep picking up new jokes and references (mother tongue isn't english).

My opinion is that while many movies in the past have attempted to create an incredibly annoying talkative character who has the ability to go on everyone's nerves with an unending logorrhea of witty comebacks and sarcastic comments (and some brilliantly succeeded at that), very few managed to kill it to such an extent pretty much 100% of the time such as Deadpool.

I put this movie above anything Marvel has produced until now, miles in front of acclaimed titles such as Captain America: TWS, The Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy. Both in terms of comedy and action. None of the fight scenes in The Avengers or in TWS come close to the one between DP and Ajax when surrounded by fire in the lab or on the aircraft carrier. The feeling of power and destruction in each blow was unprecedented and looked bada$$.

8/10 in my book. My 3rd favorite comic book adaptation after Watchmen 10/10 and Kickass 9/10. On par with Batman Begins, TDK and maybe also 300 and the first 2 Blades. But better than everything else in the superhero genre.


People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

reply

But it does pretend to be something that its not, the whole film is self referential and acts as if it is above other superhero films because it is aware of the cliches that inhibit a vast majority of them. My problem was that instead of transcending the genre, it turned into the very thing it was parodying in the first place.

Apparently you haven't got the joke then. That is the whole point of Deadpool as a character. He started out as a in-joke character (sorta spoof of DC's Deathstroke), who's fully aware that he is a comic book character, and this was perfectly reflected in movie, only instead Deadpool being aware he's comic book character, he's aware he's a movie character.

According to this thread, I guess you and me will share the entire front row by ourselves. Neat.

Other 30 years old here as well.
