Some things to remember

Rating: 5/10 (9 April 2016)

Okay for the few naysayers out there, well, it was made abundantly clear prior to the film releasing that there would be full extensive use of the R rating. If you are a Deadpool fan, then you would also have been well aware of what to be in store for. If you watched any of the 30+ trailers, social media clips, promotions, etc you would have been well aware before going to this film what to expect. My personal opinion (and people are certainly entitled to disagree with it) is that like any movie, you should rate it on whether it delivered as promised. Not give it one star because you either expected it to be watered down, or didn't bother to research it at all prior. No this isn't like the other Marvel movies out there (which I adore, and follow avidly!), it is a completely different animal but no less wonderful. I have watched this 3 times in the theater, and if I get the chance I'll watch it again before it is out of the theater. It was brilliant from beginning to end. Pay attention if you haven't had the pleasure of going yet to every little thing. Because there were incredibly few instances of anything in this movie being face value, be it references to pop culture, alternate movies, comic books, or other happenings in the film itself. Do NOT bring your children. Seriously they may beg you to watch it, but there are some actual adult situations, including torture that may not be the best material for them. Maybe check it out first, and go from there. But I had a pair of grandparents behind me in the first viewing with their 6ish old grandchildren and they ended up leaving in the first 20 minutes. So totally 5 stars, I'd give it a 100 if I could.
