Deadpool has 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes

[MIB41]

Chris, I'm going tonight with my 24 year old son (Geez I'm getting old). I'll report back afterwards to let you know what I think.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Thanks Tom. I'd appreciate it! I know Fox (and Deadpool himself!) put out a note telling parents not to bring the kiddies, and wait for Cap: Civil War. My gut says to sit this one out, and bribe the boy with a gift of equal or greater value.

Going to check it out in two hours from now, yeah...

With all this talk of a hard "R" and some local theaters barring anyone under 17, even with an adult, I'm now questioning whether to take my 14 year old son. He's a huge DP fan, but I'm starting to think this isn't such a good idea.

For those who have seen it, would you let a 14 year old see this?

If your 14yo is okay with sex and nudity, full frontal, hacking of body parts and strong language then yes. I would take my 15yo daughter since she has seen so many movies, mainly Tarantino. She still wants to see it so hoping to see it again this weekend with her.

Saw it last night. It's a riot. Lots of great in-jokes. Lots of 4th wall breaking. Really fun movie.
(And it features by far the BEST depiction of Colossus in any of the Fox films.)

Sheesh. This is sounding like a "no".

Parental Guidance: Deadpool Ain't For Kids
Rating: R, for strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity.

OK, so we don’t usually talk about R-rated movies here in the Parental Guidance section. Usually, it’s pretty clear: If it’s an R, it’s an R. But your kids are probably familiar with the Deadpool character and they’re probably begging you to take them to see this. Resist. They may argue that they know Deadpool from previous incarnations, like the Lego Marvel Superheroes video game, and that he’s super funny and cute. Say: “No.” Deadpool is indeed super funny, and even cute at times. But it’s definitely not for kids. Marvel really went for it this time and delivered a hard-R movie based on one of its comic book characters. This is not your typical, PG-13 blockbuster violence here; this is graphic, with real blood and real stakes as the mercenary Deadpool (a hilarious Ryan Reynolds) learns to carve out his new identity and right wrongs. There’s also a ton of language, nudity and sexuality. Fine for teenagers. Everyone younger needs to wait (including my extremely bummed 6-year-old son).

Of course this all depends your parenting decisions.

^Thanks Ed.

I'll quit monopolizing this thread for my own parental guidance session. Please continue to discuss the movie as usual.

Just came back from watching, it was a blast, ha...

Saw it this afternoon. Pure, irreverent fun from the opening credits on! I usually don't see movies more than once in the theater, but I may make an exception for this one.

[Mr.Marion]

Here's the extra credit scene. Watch it before they take it down. https://youtu.be/BwXNMi-DIw8

...and not surprisingly, it's a hit, folks...

Could be the first $100 million opening weekend for an R rated movie...

I enjoyed it very much. Didn't think there was that much nudity. A strip club scene and Ryan Reynolds' butt. Some pretty graphic violence though.

It showed full Deadpool "junk". Not just butt. Let's not mislead anybody.

I jokingly asked my mom when she was going to see Deadpool. I was a little shocked when my mom told me she is going to watch it on Monday on her day off. She doesn't like graphic violence in her movies. She likes the superhero movies, but skipped the Punisher ones.
