Now THAT'S a great movie!
Nope. The opinon of SW7 being great is shared not only be critiques but the general audience, its been overwhelmingly positive. It was great.

I'm 38. Should I feel awful now, when Deadpool is one of my most anticipated movies this year? And I work for movie press.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!
Perfect movie for Devin Faraci then.
Haha I'd say it probably does mean it's good.

Its at a 7.9 average so my prediction is that it will end up in the mid 80's on the tomato meter, thats how it usually goes

He nailed it with describing the broad target audience.
"small scale"?

Just getting 1 of my 5 copies graded cost me more than what i paid for 4 of them.
Insane how popular he's become.

That is Ign just reaching for a negative
As in the movie isn't about anything
It's not about stopping a country from being destroyed or stopping an alien invasion or even stopping some nasty gas from being spread through a city.
It's just well personal.
We've increasingly seen the scale of comic movies increase and them become more spectacle. This doesn't. Not necessarily a flaw, but it doesn't go for big, over the top action
Also and more spoilers about fights
The movie really has three major settings. There's the bridge which is like the first half. The test facility and the climax on the downed ship.
Schlong Dog....you make a great point

It's getting better reviews than I ever expected for what is essentially trying to be the Dumb and Dumber of superhero movies.

Still a weird thing to knock a movie for. You don't knock it for its size, you knock it for not doing what it was trying to do.
It's why Faraci is still giving it a thumbs up while sneering at it: He may not appreciate what it set out to do, but he recognizes that "Deadpool" succeeds at that more than it doesn't.
A criticism that reads "Hey, I liked it. Shoulda been bigger, though" seems weird. But then again: IGN

Hey man you might not understand how important scale is, but the fact of the matter is that Jupiter Ascending is objectively a better movie than Die Hard.

Yeah with a username like that playing the "you must be a kid" critique doesn't work very well.

Yeah, if reviews go down that path of criticizing it for what it should be, not what its trying to be, then movies would have to be generic garbage to get good reviews
None of those films received universal praise from both critics and movie goers. They were divisive. I'm not saying it's wrong to dislike Mad Max, but to say it 'baffling' that it's enjoyed by basically everyone says more about the person saying the statement than anyone else.

Going to remain wary until I see the movie myself but these reviews are promising.

That opening paragraph was a sentiment I'd seen in some of the comments sections of BMD - "Reddit, juvenile, teenage humor". Stuff like that.

I tend to believe people dislike Devin Faraci because, like reading his review here, people see themselves in there. But yes, none of the clips or trailers I've seen have made me think I wanted to see this film. The audience they're aiming at seems like the same people sharing 9GAG reposts and a weird overlap with the 'rawr means I love you in dinosaur' crowd.
All of my Facebook friends really dig the emoji poster, though. ¯\_(ツ

There are always going to be people who hate this movie, even if it's amazing. Deadpool is a very "You either love him or hate him." character.

It's a good sign when the studio doesn't hide or embargo a film.
Usually means they are confident in what they have.

It's a news aggregator site. It collects articles and people can comment on them.

I am glad the movie is being well received so far. I will see it when it comes out but will walk out disappointed because I'm going to have to wait even longer to see the uncut version.

I'm assuming they've seen the trailers?
I'm kind of interested in how the public perceives these movies. The top critic listed on RT says this in his opening statement
So I wonder if they're making a distinction between Fox's and Disney's movies, or even WB.
I could see a potential backlash from family friendly groups if they confuse this with a Disney movie. Would make a funny news story.

You'd have to be pretty damn stupid to think R18 and family fun go together. The vast majority probably don't even know Disney owns Marvel either
