The movie sucked and the cgc was horrable I can't believe I took a chance at getting swine flu and seen it in the theater.

Besides a few scenes where it seemed they were just rushing to get to the next scene and the ending I enjoyed the movie. I am a comic book fan like most here are but I can tell you, to everyone that I have talked to that are not comic fans and do not know the true story of Deadpool they all loved the film. I think that because we expect a character to do certain things or end up a certain way it can make the movie less enjoyable when it doesn't happen the exact way it is suppose to go(And I know that they strayed VERY far from Deadpools true origin).

Basically what I am trying to say is that those that do not read the comics really enjoyed the movie. The people I have talked to are teenagers and in their early twenties, which is a big part of the audience for these types of films. Not everyone disliked this film and they certainly did not dislike it because of what happened to Deadpool.

Look for it to be the number one movie in the clearance racks in the coming weeks.

The comic book reading geeks might have hated the movie, but I loved it and I've never read a wolverine book before. And Deadpool was the coolest thing! But I do wish there was more Gambit...

BUT WAIT! THAT'S NOT ALL! WITH YOUR PURCHASE OF THE VIDEO, YOU GET A SET OF WULVEREEEN STEAK KNIVES, GUARANTEED NEVER TO GO DULL!

All you haters suck man Im sick and tired of all you *****y winey people putting a movie down just cause it dont follow the comic book word for word and page for page. Yea granted tere were some stuff that I dont agree on how they did certain things in the movie but over all it was a great movie. Cant wait for all the up coming Marvel movies and cant wait to see what else they have to offer. All you haters can shove it where the sun dont shine. GO MARVEL

IT'S NOT A TUMOR

Because you know we cant do this all day right?

Posted by: copacetic on September 24, 2009 at 11:28:53

Well there's no accounting for taste. Some people listen to Weezer. Others rent X-Men Originas: Wolverine. Puke.

Posted by: KidO80's on September 24, 2009 at 11:33:16

Did anyone not watch the Stan Lee and Len Wein interiew on the Blu-ray? They accepted that plots and characters need to change. It would be like tuna. Boring. Same thing. Stop having a boring tuna! So what they added some pickles and a stinky egg.

@gam072181

That's ok. We're sick of you too. Learn how to spell, Lame-o.

Posted by: RadioShack Man on September 24, 2009 at 12:08:59

Well, at least it outsold the Barbie movie... I guess that's a good thing.

Posted by: Macroni Tony on September 24, 2009 at 12:15:35

There wee a wolverine movie this year?

Posted by: mr epic on September 24, 2009 at 12:28:58

It wasnt that bad 7/10 overall I enjoyed it.

Posted by: Poorman on September 24, 2009 at 12:30:38

Read both lists. Then read both lists again. Now explain to me how on Earth is Hollywood is supposed to know what a "good movie" is? There is no pattern. They all have different types of fans and critics alike. Moral of the story - Hollywood is as baffled about what to make as we are about what needs to be made. Or if the quality of the movie matters either.

@gam072181

I believe this is a "public forum" where people can voice any opinion they wish. If you can't wait for Marvels upcoming production, they'll just speed it along like they have done with ****ty films they rushed into production. Thor isn't even rolling in production yet. God knows about Cap. and Avengers is a ? So hope you look forward to **** movie quality from Marvel in the near future/next 2 years or less. Compared to an action flick right above Barbie for the top DVD sales/retals for the last week? Um...yeah, sure. Doesn't mean people won't watch it or wait for it on DVD. I myself will wait for HBO for free. Cheers.

Great. With the money this crapfest is still pulling in with DVD sales, now "Wolverine 5" is REALLY inevitable.

Posted by: shugler on September 24, 2009 at 12:59:52

heh, must be a really slow week

Posted by: mike on September 24, 2009 at 13:00:42
