Deadpool.....

[NothingIsImpossible]

So whos seeing it? Whos seen it? Who doesn't want to see it?

I always loved Deadpool but reading why its rated R I am REALLY weary about seeing it now. Mind you I have seen movies pretty close to it. But it has over a 100 swear words, most of which are the F word. Beheadings, arms cut off, bloody splatters, head shots, a scene in which you view a bullet path that went up his "rectum". Then you get into the sex stuff. Aside from breasts theres also male genitals shown and when he has sex with his girlfriend they once show her giving him sex in his... you know.

Again, this movie is really pushing my boundaries. I'm surprised its not NC-17.

If you "always loved Deadpool", then surely you would have known the movie would be a hard R? Unlike most of the Marvel roster, Deadpool is an inherently adult character and the comics are loaded with adult themes, bloody violence and (censored) swearing. I really don't think you can sanitize the explicit nature of the source material without completely erasing its identity...it would be like trying to make a PG-13 version of 'Sin City', for example.

Yeah, this is one movie I will be skipping. Nudity, overflowing with profanity, and a lot of bloody violence? No thanks. I enjoy a good action flick but there are some things that just go too far.

Seems like Hollywood often goes for the gutter and achieves its aims.

I just cannot understand Hollywood's obsession with nudity.

I don't fully understand it either. I guess they believe it will "sell" the movie if it's in there along with a good dose of blood and guts.

Yes, it's all about selling. Mind you, up here, a court has asserted that toplessness is legally acceptable; I guess adjusting bikinis is a rather different thing from Hollywood's obsession with graphic bedroom scenes, which seems to sell movies.

It's probably one of the stupidest movie's I've seen in many years. Do not take your kids to this movie. It's make for teen audiences and, as mentioned, full of inappropriate scenes.

Things have gone so far with wretched movies, that maybe good family evenings would best be to pull the plug on the TV and read the Bible and visit with friends.

I finally seen it. It was good, I enjoyed it. However with that said the nudity really didn't need to be there, story would have been fine without. As with the swearing, could cut out 75% of the swearing and it still would be good. As for gore, true, it could have done without it but that would defeat the purpose of Deadpool. Will I buy the movie? No. Will I see a sequel? Yes.

BTW people have mentioned nudity being bad. Well in its not that bad really. We at most show breasts and butts. In other countries nudity is normal and they show everything. Where as they are against violence. In america are movies are fully of violence. Me? I don't care with way. Doesn't really affect me. Though if forced to chose I'd say no nudity. Because the nudity we see on screen is an actual nude person. A breast is a breast. Where as someone getting their arm chopped off isn't real, its CGI or props. Anyways I think sex/nudity in america affects christians FAR more easier then violence does. Nudity can corrupt you and make you look online for more. Gore though, it doesn't really make you want to go look it up online. Though there are sites to see real gore, and in that case its much worse then anything hollywood can come up with.

It's made for adult audiences, which is why it carries an R-rating. Of course you shouldn't take kids to it. Anyone who takes their kids into an R-rated movie has no right to complain if they find the content to be inappropriate for people under the intended and advertised age of admission.

 

[WretchedGoat]

Sounds like my type of movie. Can't wait to see it.

Cowboy Christianity FTW

So do you go to the movie theaters much?

No, not that often. I probably only make it to the theater 2-3 times a year.

My wife and I really prefer to stay at home!

There are some reasonable movies around but so many leave a lot to be desired, in my humble opinion. We are involved with our local church also, which keeps us in our view profitably occupied.

That is great! Yes, unfortunately going to the movies can be really expensive.

Yes, it can. And you're probably saving up for other plans, anyway.

A lot of it can also be to do with time - as well as money - management.

I guess I still make a bit of a distinction between occasional toplessness (which up here is legal) and some of the really off-puting hardcore stuff.

Our Regal theaters (or at least some of them) have $5 Tuesdays all day. Makes seeing movies much cheaper!

Not bad...

Depends whether there really is a movie that is worth watching, though...
