I too have heard good things about the DEADPOOL movie, but with Ryan Rynolds signing on as the Green Lantern, I’m surprised he is still involved with DeadPool..though he did say that was his pet project and he wants to make it as true to the comic as possible. A nice thing to hear…if it happens.

What kind of surprised me was how poorly made the movie was on a technical level. So much of it was raw and unfinished, as if they weren’t able to complete the post production in time to meet their release date. But, a deal is a deal, so they just put it out there, which is a real shame too, since the opening credits at least looked rather nice, creative and polished.

I guess I just shrugged at the movie for a couple of reasons. 1) The older I get, the more mellow I become and the less likely I am to be over-emotional about something in either direction. Don’t get me wrong, a good movie still has the power to move me, but an average (or below average) film just makes me feel well, average. 2) I didn’t have anything really riding on this, since I’ve more or less already seen some pretty decent Wolverine adventures, thanks to the previous X-Men films.

Still, this next picture could turn out to be very interesting. Who knows? If all goes well, we could get another Spidey 2 on our hands, where a good writer comes in and ups the quality of the material in their own way. I’m keeping positive for all involved.

See. I object to this attitude. There have been great Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones movies, Batman movies, Spider-man movies, great X-men movies. Why wouldn’t you demand a great Wolverine movie?

And then you turn around and want the sequel to be better. Which is understandable. But from the studio / producer perspective what’s the motivation to do that if people are just gonna shrug and accept it anyways.

It’s like when the Trannies fans all complained that Trannies 2 didn’t improve on anything . Of course they didn’t improve the film that most people raved about and claimed was great.
It’s like what people say about government. You get the type of government you demand.

The Trannies mantra; it’s good enough. it’s not supposed to be great. it doesn’t need to have good characters. lookit all the money it made; is ruining cinema.

As for the next film, I am excited to see if it ends up being better that the first. The story line that they are going with is a good one as long as they don’t mess with continuity to which is one of the things they did wrong in the first one. Mainly with Deadpool.

Now the stuff I have been hearing about a Deadpool movie sounds great.

Right, as explained in Wolverine. That was the mystery left hanging from the x-men movies.

@And I’m pretty sure the hairstyle is a just a bad cowlick.

Nope. It’s a compelling story arc.

Also, to the Belgian Geek: you know there has been a Magneto X-Men Origins movie planned for some time, right?

Now about that Spider-man franchise…

I’m looking forward to this new one to explain why he combs his hair the way he does.
