If Deadpool 2 gets a much larger budget I'm hoping the stakes don't get raised to world changing events like the rest of the movies.
Deadpool 2 is going to get a bigger budget - and probably a world-ending threat - because Fox has been trying to figure out how to use Cable on the screen. With Deadpool doing well, they've now got the perfect springboard for Cable.
I have not seen the movie so am not gonna click on that. I read a non spoiler review where it indicated the stakes are very low.

It was less a spoiler (although it comes up in the movie) than speculation based mostly on a few articles I've read over the years that mention that Fox really, really wants to develop something that features a character who is very close to Deadpool, and whose entire shtick revolves around massive world-ending threats.

What's interesting is this might have one of the highest profit ratios of any big superhero movie since the first Iron Man film.
If it cost 60 milly, and you say the marketing was another 60 like it usually is (only they focused on viral and it seems to hella paid off), and it's already on track for 80 milly worldwide this weekend, in February, without China, it will basically pay off F4's flop twice over.
The marketing blitz has been real so far. I swear they had to have spent as much on marketing as they did on the actual movie (especially considering Fox slashed 9 mil from the budget moments before shooting started).

I don't watch TV much anymore so I don't know if they blitzed it like ABC did with Avengers, but it seems like they just made perfect trailers which costs peanuts basically, let word spread, and then are pushing Reynolds non-stop everywhere (or someone dressed as Deadpool walking around with a tape of Reynolds saying stuff for Comedy Central or whatever).
In fact, has anyone seen Deadpool and Reynolds stand next to each other yet? Take that, Lois Lane!

Pretty darn good, the movie didn't hook me until the lab scenes though.
I was expecting it to be, "Fighting for air" funny when I read reactions on here, but it did enough.
This movie is peak Reynolds. The supreme distillation of the essence of Ryan Reynolds.
Climax spoilers
I groaned when I saw that the name of the location for the climax was The Scrapyard until I saw what specific Scrapyard it was. Nice of Disney Marvel to let them fight on the corpse of a Project Insight helicarrier like that...
I just got out and totally didn't realize but
I did think that looked familiar. Is that actually what it was??
movie was great by the way. Definitely stay after the credits.

Agreed, I just finished watching Winter Soldier and I can't for certain say that
the carrier here is the carrier from there. It definitely had a engine on a corner that I saw fall off when they zoomed out in Deadpool's big fight and slide but it didn't look the same and certainly wasn't as big. Older model maybe?

Not gonna be able to see if for a while but just out of curiosity; does Deadpool spend much time unmasked after he gets his powers?

If I have a problem, it's that Deadpool's face isn't really that gross. It does not inspire revulsion in me, and I swear the make-up guys made Reynold's face look better in the later parts of
the film.
Friday numbers pushing estimate up, now projected to open in the 90 million range.
Either way, it looks to open in the vicinity of Guardians of the Galaxy ($94.3 million) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($95 million). If it crosses $100 million, it would be only the 11th superhero movie in history to achieve that feat. And it's likely to score the top R-rated opening of all time.

RyRey 100% deserves to be the face of Deadpool.
Yeah, Reynolds earned the right to be the definitive portrayal of Deadpool. Like, he's the RDJ as Ironman level of perfect.
I definitely think this is one of those movies that will bear multiple rewatches, because it is just so dense in references and tiny little visual gags.
Took me a minute to get one of the lines from the movie.
It was the put a bullet in his head and fuck the brain hole. I was on the car ride home when I remembered that's from Grosse Point Blank it's what Akroyd threatens to do to John Cusack at the diner.
Loved the movie, laughed so hard at so many things, the second cab ride was a personal favorite.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

OMG 2nd Cab Ride! I just started laughing remembering how that ends and I can't stop laughing ... so, thank you for that reminder

The whole him telling Dopinder to let that guy go while encouraging him to kill him. Collosus trapped in the back, Deadpool leaving the guns. It was awesome.
I think my favorite awful mean line was.
I left a 100 kilos of cocaine next to the cure for blindness good luck.
So many references to things, and I got all of them and yes Nega Sonic I felt old.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it was a helicarrier
Forgetting the guns, was right about when Nega brought it up I was thinking that. "Wait didn't you make a big thing about bringing all your bullets and guns?"

Apparently this scene
was a last minute change due to budget cuts. There was meant to be a massive gun fight, until $7 million got slashed and the scene had to be removed... so he just forgets the guns.

Makes it even funnier to me.
Well ultimately I think the scene works better that way.

So, did Ikea pay for promotion in this movie, or was it just tossed in for fun?
Cause I'm not sure if those were actual Ikea things or not.
The only thing I ever bought at an Ikea was a plate full of meatballs. Tasty meatballs, sure, but not tasty enough to convince me to willingly re-enter that labyrinth or furniture.

It also felt like a total breath of fresh air when I've been feeling pretty over-saturated by superhero movies.
