Saw it at the weekend. Biggest load of unfunny dross I've ever seen.
Lol, what ever? Worse than Gigli or Fantastic Four?I always find it funny when people post stuff like this. Everyone has different tastes and is entitled to their opinion of course but when almost everyone else is universally gushing and even the most critical reviews are saying it's above average, you have to wonder if perhaps it's not really your kind of film.

Loved it. Saw it to kill some time between jobs last week and then took my daughter to see it again last night.
Cinema was packed and everybody was laughing. Not been in that sort of situation since Life of Brian.
How did a previous poster gat his 9 year old in? Our local Cineworld is hot on age checking.
My 13 year old son couldn't get in and he's the same size as me, 6ft.
took my daughter to watch it and she's 13. never been a issue if your with parents. Same as mum taking me to see bram stoker's dracula rated a 18 when I was 15.Cinema was packed and everybody was laughing. Not been in that sort of situation since Life of Brian.

Really enjoyed this. As others have said Reynolds made it the psychopathic non-PC character truer to its roots than studios usually allow.
Weird happening some may find amusing -- we booked tickets on-line yesterday for an 18.40 screening this evening and received the standard popup warning about it being R-rated etc
A friend said this evening they might come along too so before leaving we checked on-line for seats in the same 18.40 screening, except now the film rating has been changed to X-rated !!
Yes -- X-rated !! Lol (daft Korean board of film censors not being able to make up their mind)

Saw this at the weekend. First ten minutes I wasn't sure. Next ten and until the end I loved it! Have been invited for a second viewing on Thursday.
14 year old went with his GF to see it in 4D - he said that was good fun. 13 year old didn't have a problem getting in (I really shouldn't promote this but they're both far more developed and mentally mature than I am at 43...) he even spotted the Cameo straight off as well as getting all the in jokes and insisting he stayed until the very, very, bery end and getting the FBDO reference.

Saw it yesterday -
(with my 14.5 year old daughter. Signs all over, specifically for Deadpool, about it being a 15 and possibly needing ID... the list included driving licence! There's not much ID a 15 year old has, unless they've been abroad in the last 10 years. Anyway, avoided any aggro by picking up pre-booked tickets and simply walking past the queue and into the screen
)
- loved it, daughter loved it. Wife will love it when we go again
I seemed to be the only person laughing at a lot of the jokes though, cinema was full of teenagers (3pm showing) and I'm not sure they got a lot of it... ho hum.
Stand out con and pro, for me:
Con: Oxygen doesn't blow up. It supports other combustion. That match should have flared up and burned much more quickly, not set off an explosion. Also, that grille next to it should have been a pretty good flame trap anyway.
Pro: What, hey, no.... oh yes! That's the Ferris Bueller ending!

what about a guy with no healing powers only doesn't feel pain is somehow still fully functioning after being stabbed through with a sword after taking a huge beating. Being pain free does not stop you exsanguinating all over the floor. He also gets shot in the thigh hit by a container and stabbed through again after yet more beating. Plenty more to go on too like that woman's powers, she is strong so how does that stop her breaking bones or let her take punches from metal men? Just enjoy the ride and go with it.

Coming back on topic, I'd also love to see a Deadpool vs Wolverine match-up as they've fought in the comics before. If it retained the more adult tones of the Deadpool film rather than the watered down Wolverines one's it could be superb.
Ryan Reynolds was already Wade Wilson once as Weapon XI in the Xmen origins: Wolverine film - he was the one without the mouth - there was a line when he was getting cancer treatment when he said "don't stictch up my mouth, you wouldn't like me like that" (or something thereabouts). This was the toy character he was playing with early in the film too.Good entertainment - lots of nods to other movies (Green lantern, Taken, Robocop). Opening titles were very funny - I missed the FB ending sadly.
Also a solid 5/7 from me....well worth the ticket price.
For the naysayers - if you laughed at Kick Ass, you'll like this. If you didn't, avoid.
