Ok I know it's got an R-Rating which here is a MA (Mature Audience).

Is it a film I can take my 10 yr old son too?

I'm already coping slack saying it's inappropriate.

I honestly don't see any difference to the MA movies we already watch together at home.


I would not recommend you bring your son to Deadpool!

That aside this is probably one of the greatest movies ever made right up there with Citizen Kane and the Godfathers

It was defo a fun movie, and both Deadpool and Colossus were portrayed brilliantly. but I feel like you might be over selling it personally. In terms of fun comic book movies I'd still rank GOTG above this.

I'm joking but I had WAY more fun in Deadpool than Gotg and that's N astounding feat.

My favorite comic book movies list has done some shuffling but this is it now
1. The Avengers
2. V for Vendetta
3. The Crow
4. Deadpool
5. Batman Begins

I thought GOTG was a better movie. After awhile I got tired of some of the humor in Deadpool. Still, a solid movie. Not sure it would make it in my top 10. Definitely top 15, though.

saw this twice already. love it a lot.. today though I took my nephew to see it and he thoroughly enjoyed it

If you're problem with the movie is its humor you don't understand Deadpool. He's a character that filters his pain through humor. The reason it works is because it's not one dimensional you can through the humor at certain points and there's love, fear, anger and things everyone relates with.

Yeah it had a pretty intense back story for a comedic film.

I know who Deadpool is. I know that's the character. He was my favorite character along side Wolverine in the 90's and I have fond memories of the 90's mini series with Fabian Nicieza, but some of the jokes didn't hit with me.

How old's your nephew?
I'm thinking of taking my 10 yr old son.

He tends to look away at nude scenes...so if that's the only concern, I'm thinking it's ok.

It was good too how they handle the backstory, Rather then have it fixated on most of the beginning of the movie they broke it up between scenes.

The success of this film will more than likely make some of the studios take a second look at what other R-rated comic properties potentially could be adapted. Which means we are likely to get even more comic book films in the coming years than we'd anticipated up until this point.

This was great, definitely will watch a second time on the big screen. Reynold's isn't a great actor, but he nailed this (as expected).

As noted above, this making record numbers on a relatively smaller budget and it being R is great news for other potentially R hero-flicks, eg remake of Blade and Punisher.

Punisher is on TV now and Blade will probably join Punisher on TV if he shows up at all. I doubt Marvel is going to invest in another Blade/Punisher movie when it doesn't fit their narrative agenda and they have so many other properties to focus on.

There's been talks of the Punisher making another film debut as early as mid 2015 and with the success of this R flick, that talk is likely only to get louder

Who owns the rights for Blade?

Think Marvel has them back

Great numbers for DP. Well deserved. I hope we can get a rated R for a future Punisher and Blade movie, but I'm not holding my breath.
