The movie is out, and I've now seen twice.
As the title says, this is a spoiler thread, so don't blame me if you ruin the movie reading it.
So much to love. From the opening credits to the end it was all spot on.
The only real big change is not using Weapon X and having Ajax replace Killbrew. Weasel replacing Patch was a bit odd too. Dunno why they didn't just use Patch and save Weasel for the sequel as his outfitter if it didn't work out in the script. It's not a huge deal as Patch never really had a huge role in the comics. It does kind of undercut Weasel a little as he's the guy supplying Deadpool's weapons and tech normally, and there's no indication he's handling that sort of thing here, but also none that he isn't either.
Having Bob show up was a great touch. As were the myriad of references from the comics and Reynolds himself. The Green Lantern and Wolverine Origins gags are great moments. The pile them on right from the start and keep them coming throughout the film which was a nice touch. The Deadpool action figure, green lantern card, and Hello Kitty tube of something [lip balm?] were all nice touches. Especially the action figure. I like how they used the Deadpool rap from the video game in the movie as well, that was a cute touch.
Colossus was great, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead played off him well. The fight between him and Angel Dust was the best beat down fight in the movie. The McAvoy or Stewart line was cute too, and when he pointed out that he only ever met Colossus and his emo friend at the Mansion. They did change Negasonic Teenage Warhead's powers from the comics as well which was interesting. If anything, they're actually more appropriate for her name so I'm kind of okay with it.
Could see this movie giving her a popularity boost in the comics, as well as having something happen to alter her powers so they fit with the movie.
The Zamboni scene was great, as was the baby hand.
Hands down the funniest of the Marvel films from any company.
I swear I called that after credit's scene. As soon as the announced the movie, the first thought I had in regard to the after credits scene was how great it would be if they ripped off Ferris Bueller. Deadpool is the perfect character to pull that off because of his 4th wall breaking, and it seems the filmmakers had the same idea.
Anyway, I love this movie. As far as I'm concerned it's better than Force Awakens. It was the most fun I've had in a movie in years, and I had a huge grin on my face through the whole thing. Even the credits were fun after the epic animation bits, there are several little things slipped in throughout for anyone who is paying attention to catch.
Best Stan Lee cameo ever.
On a second viewing, the Wade Wilson parts did kind of slow things down a little. They weren't bad, but I found myself wanting them to get through them so we could get back to Deadpool again. That's more a reflection with how well the did the man himself than anything being really wrong with the scenes with him as Wade.
Looking forward to Cable being in the next one, made for a nice cap to the after credit scene. This is now my favorite Marvel movie ever. It's going to be hard to top.
Would be great if this movie broke $100M BO over the weekend. Really hope it does well.
