I'm inclined to be cynical about this on Ryan Reynolds Principle, but even the commercials on TV look promising. I can't believe I'm rooting harder for a Ryan Reynolds movie than a Ghostbusters movie.

To be fair, it's Ryan Reynolds playing a role he was born to play, and the upcoming GB movie isn't really GB.

I know we've all thought that. I just hope it's true. I fear it could easily go into trying-way-too-hard territory but the generally great promotional bits give me the gut feeling they nailed it. Fingers crossed.

Agreed on both aspects.

But the fact that Reynolds is in love with the character, and worked for so long to get this done - he's going to put everything he has (which might not be saying a lot, I'm not sure) into it.

Reynolds seems like a pretty good guy in real life, but I like almost nothing he's ever done. But with a passion project like this, hopefully that spark overcomes the Reynolds-movie factor.

I didn't like any of those movies.

Waiting was like most post-Clerks Kevin Smith movies, where the first time you watch it you feel like you relate to the characters, then realize "Hey, this movie is mean spirited, not well written, and not a very good movie."

i LOVED waiting, if you ever worked in the food industry you have no idea how hilarious it is

:lol That's the part of your comment that I was referring to.

Normally, I can't stand the guy as an actor (he might be a champion bloke, I don't know), but it's only now with DP that I've given the guy a break, because he's in the zone with this one, & props to him for getting behind the character like he has to date.

I'm glad the movie's out this week (here), because all this hyper-gag marketing was going to wear it's welcome out after not too long.
 
Regardless of how well written the character ends up being in the film, I agree that Ryan Renyolds is doing an amazing job. I've seen various interpretations of Deadpool through comics, cartoons, video games, and animated movies, but I never had a defined voice for the character like I do for a lot of other characters. With just this marketing, Ryan Renyolds is now synonymous with the character for me. This movie has gotten in BvS territory where I don't care what the critics think, I really want to see it based on his performance.

I'm really looking forward to your thoughts Batfan08.
 
This movie will need to be firing on all cylinders for it to work.

Not only the humor but also the plot and action need to do their parts as well.

From what i've seen so far it's looking promising, yet very few elements have been revealed.

Fox did an incredible job with creating exciting marketing that makes you want to see this while at the same time not really revealing anything but the core premise, they truly have done a great job selling this movie.

The little bit of action shown was well executed with perfect tempo, attitude, humor and music attachment, all very memorable.

I really did the rap song they chose to lead their marketing with, captures the essense of the character.

Can't wait to step into his world.

My heart tells me I should love everything about this movie when it comes out. It's clearly as accurate as a Deadpool as we realistically could have asked for. The suit looks phenomenal. It's rated R. It seems perfectly casted. Cool side characters. And I'm pretty certain the action won't disappoint.

My brain is telling me though that to still reign in my expectations. I don't think this movie will be as hilarious as I want it to be (and maybe I have unreal expectations in that sense). Truth is I've sat through most of this special messages and most of the trailers very much amused but not laughing out loud. I hope the best is still to come in the movie I'm sure there will some great chuckles. But as I said, it seems eerily comparable to Deadpool in the comics. Sometimes he has you laughing hysterically. Sometimes you are just amused. And sometimes he's more groan-inducing. He is still annoying but yet awesome somehow. I think this Deadpool will have moments of both.

Listen to your brain, and then if you love the movie it will be that much sweeter.
