It's violent and it's laden with expletives but movie-going audiences around the globe love it. Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds as the physically and mentally scarred Marvel Comics antihero, demolished the opposition for a second weekend running in North America. And worldwide, the film looks certain to eclipse The Matrix Reloaded and grab the title of highest-grossing R-rated movie in history, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

You would be surprised at the number of parents who take their kids to see such filth.
Really? I didn’t see any of that at all.
Yes. She was the "beard". She was the only thing saving this movie from being a completely Homosexual superhero story.
wow!!
He just looks like Spider Man to me.
Awesome flick
You didn't notice the totally Fabulous dialogue? The lispy banter, the references to "Hot and Salty", the "I've got a hard spot" while he was threatening the Pizza boy?
The bar scene where he tells the bartender "I want a blowjob" and the bartender says "Me too?"
There were so many "gayish" references throughout the movie that I cannot believe other people didn't notice them. It just goes to show how good of a job Hollywood is doing at weaving them into the plot.
But beyond that, the creator of the Character says that Deadpool is homosexual.
Tonight on Twitter, Deadpool writer Gerry Duggan confirmed that Deadpool is queer, describing him as being omnisexual which is often used interchangeably with pansexual...
Whatever...
The hero is homosexual. He is "flaming" in virtually every scene.
Is it that you think i'm full of sh*t, or is it that you don't care that he is a homosexual super hero?
If it's that you think i'm full of sh*t, I will tell you that the guy who created the character says "Deadpool" is homosexual. He is specifically a homosexual character.
Saw it opening weekend...deserves the R in a big way, yet I still saw a large number of parents with their 6-12 year olds. I went with my 17 year old and had to clench my jaw more than a few times.
Hilarious but a hard R and not acceptable for under 16 with or without parents IMHO.
My parents took me to see “Blazing Saddles” when I was 14, and let my brother take me to see “Slap Shot” and “Groove Tube” a year later. Didn’t affect me none.
Well, maybe a little bit.
Same here, but it was a lot funnier when I watched it again when I was in my 30's.
While I read comics growing up, I was more into Science Fiction. Now that I look back on it, there was a hell of a lot of sex in sci fi books published in the 1970s.
Man that film was a blast. Not for everyone but it’s really original and killing it at box office. Biggest opening R rayed movie in film history.
Should’ve stuck with Sinister as the villain, or gone with something a little more “normal” than Parallax.
At least its where he met his now wife, Blake Lively. So he’s got that going for him.
I expected middling success. The big question now is what lesson will Hollywood learn. Are they just going to go with the profanity, or actually learn to not take comic book movies so seriously. It would also be nice if this was the beginning of the end of PG-13s stranglehold on tent poles, the target rating is crippling movies.
