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.

To say Pan's Labyrinth is a cinema masterpiece is an abomination on its own.

reply

It's the second highest rated movie ever on metacritic, so critics disagree with you.

If you liked Deadpool, you might not have understood Pan's Labyrinth.

reply

I agree - its super cringey.
But, different strokes for different folks.
Arguing about which movies are good and which are bad is pointless, taste is entirely personal and people get different things out of movies for different reasons.

reply

I actually love both movies. Pan's Labyrinth is such a strong, emotional and imaginative story, I was completely taken by it while watching it, it's a great movie.

Deadpool is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, it's just pure and crude awesomeness.

reply

Given the box office numbers and high rating on here, most people disagree with you about Deadpool.
I get why you don't like it. No such thing as "humor made for everyone." I think some people went into this movie with too serious of a mindset.

reply

Masterpiece is an artist's best work. So this certainly is Del Toro's masterpiece.

reply

I disagree with OP but that's just a load of crap from you. Pan's Labyrinth gets mentioned in awe by most people I've spoken to about movies.
... In real life not on the everyone is entitled internet spoilt child fest.

reply

It's just the fact that a superhero film that did this that makes people so amazed. I bet if the same jokes were in a regular summer comedy it would be rated around 5 on IMDb and have a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes.

reply

Nope. You take the superhero theme out of Dead Pool and it still would make for a fair 6.8 or higher. And inside comedies, it'd be a solid 8.4.

reply

I'm not opposed to sex, fart and dick jokes if they're well-written or so stupid that they're randomly funny. But yeah, the humor in this movie was poorly written and poorly timed...basically an extension of Seth Rogen's moronic humor. I cringed way more than I laughed.

It's interesting how a movie that has so much obscenity in it can seem so mainstream, predictable and completely without edge.

I notice your English gets better when you want something.

reply

How can you compare this movie to Seth Rogen's predictable, boring, pathetic annoying humour?

reply

I agree. The fact that people find this film funny truly is sad. I don't think there should be a minimum voting age though. You really can't take any film rating too seriously on here, or anywhere. I gave this film a 3/10. When I saw the film in the theater, I heard two laughs the entire movie. That was it. I'm not sure who is rating this so high, but it does seem like some sort of joke. The new Star Wars was a pretty average film too though, and it's around the same rating. It was better than Deadpool, but still it wasn't anything even remotely special. Is someone paying IMDb to rate certain films so high, are the movie production companies themselves hiring loads of people to mess with the ratings on here. I'm not sure, they certainly have the money to do it. This film was the one of the most pseudo smart movies I've ever seen. Many young people seem to think this is fresh, yet almost nothing in this film was new at all.

Sad?? Not funny? Damn now that is sad.........

So the part were he gets trown sideways by colossus. And he says So we can all agree this *beep* went sideways in the most colossul way. U don't find that funny?

When colossus says we are taking u to the professor! Wich one Steward or McAvoy. U don't find that funny?

Im gonna do to u what Limp Bizkit did to music in the 90's. And breaks all his limbs and joking about it u don't find that funny?

When he says the neverland mansion run by a bald heaven's gate looking MF you dont find that funny?

Fat gandalf go cast a spell? not funny?

Your gonna get killed by a zamboni! Tell me were your boss is or you are gonna die in 5 minutes! You do not find that funny at all?

Riply from allien 3. You didn't laugh?

The studio could not afford a nother X-men. Not Funny right?

Taken 3 movie joke about bad parenting. Oh dude that was a lame joke.

God i mis cociane! Nother crap joke....

Somewhere there is 1000kg of cocaïne hidden in the appartement next to the cure for blindness. Sooo not funny at al. The poor blind people who are watching the movie.

U should of seen the faces of dad's or mom's in worst case both. Taking there 13/14 year old kids to what they thought was a nother marvel superhero movie. Happy national woman's day. Haha that stuff was priceles.

Taking the cab and not even paying for it. While normal super heroes fly or have a cool yet or just happen to be there where they need to be al the time.

Superhero landing.

Agent smith.

Nothing compares to you Sinéad O'Connor.

Ryan reynolds did not get this far on his superior acting method comment.

The whole Hugh Jackman gag.

Hunted sagway tours.

I could go on and on you know that not all what he says has to be funny he just never shuts up. I did not laugh at al of it but i watched it 3 times now and each time i saw something new or found a nother angle on why a joke was funny.

Like the dick crown francis is wearing on his board. Didn't see that the first time. Or the refresher in dopinder his car is also in the bad guys car and in the opening credit's.

And the opening credits alone is worth the 8 for this movie.

@bol_261 Now I definitely have to watch it again because I missed a lot of those gags laughing at the previous gag.

Maybe for an immature child.

I laughed harder at you posting all these scenarios that you thought were funny then I did throughout the whole movie. The zamboni part made me chuckle a little bit, but no most of the movie and everything else on your list was not funny at all. The movie was annoying and very boring. Go ahead and tell me that is all my opinion. I see so many people crying about opinions. This is a discussion board intended for you to come and write your opinion about the movie. I am sorry if I seem a little bit upset, it is because I am. So many of my co/workers, friends, even customers at my job said this movie was awesome. Even went as far as to say it is their favorite movie so I watch it thinking I am going to be entertained only to find out that so many people around me have the sense of humor of a 13 year old.

reply

Poor you, it sucks to be sad and alone. Even worse when you die, who will care? Immortality is being remembered by those who truly love you.

You are mortal.

reply

The fact that some people come onto message boards to tell people that finding a comedy movie funny is sad, is what is truly sad.

reply

Wow people stop posting now! Opinions don't matter anymore acording to moufoil here.

Please post more useless comments the next few years so we can write a book about that in 10 years and then later we wil make a movie about it. Bet That wil do realy wel at the box office.

reply

Lol i wasn't even talking to you kid.

I'm cool with people having different opinions, unless your opinion is "i dont like this, so if you like this you're stupid/pathetic/sad/etc."

reply

I agree, these marvels movies are for teenagers. It's not really funny most of the time.

Don't get me wrong it s usually entertaining movies, no big flaws, but nothin special about them either. Rated this one 6 as most of them.

reply

Why are you even here, then? I mean, seriously, why even bother?

reply

I know you will not believe this, but this is probably Marvel's most accurate depiction of a superhero since Blade, based on their source, which RR co-starred in, making this his 4th turn as a superhero, second as Wade Wilson... Not knowing anything about Deadpool who has always kind of been a darker, mouthier Spiderman with no alter, could be offputting seeing him in action the first time. I consider this to be the best Marvel adaptation since Blade, which I put above every X Man movie. And Wolverine was pretty damned good. I laughed through this entire movie, because it delivered Deadpool accurately in my estimation. Mouthy and psychopathic.

I still believe. Do you still believe? - Earl Hickey

reply

Clearly we have people here asking questions and stating opinions as if factual and clearly haven't the slightest *beep* clue who Deadpool is.
