Deadpool Official Red Band Trailer #2 (2016) - Ryan Reynolds
- Thread starter Steve Williams
- Start date
I must say I was surprised to see and hear so much sex jokes and scenes from a Marvel character. Plot is thin and while some people in the cinema was laughing out loud most of the time, I didn't find too much humor in this. I never really expected this kind of stuff from a superhero flick.
You guys go to the theater to see this genre of film?
And red (red suit) is appropriate with Valentine day (romance, sensuality, love card, proof of affection, chocolate box, red lingerie, sexuality, ...) ?

I use to read the comics. I'm definitely going. The crudeness, swearing, sexual stuff, etc, that's Deadpool. Anyone who is a fan is looking forward to it actually being anything remotely like the comic as the previews suggest.
There is also the film 'Kick-Ass' (1 & 2), and 'The Hateful Eight' (filmed in artistic 70mm).
I'll wait for the Blu-ray...in (((3D))). ...'Deadpool'

Actually, I think this genre of film gets much more benefit from the big screen experience than most. Joy? I could have held out for VHS on a 19" Trinitron and still been disappointed.

Alright, it's in UHD in some theaters, as well on Blu-ray when it'll be released in few months. ...It's supposed to be a fun flick...for adults.

I was wondering why over here it was rated at R-16, no entry to those below 16. And now I know. And those girls laughing out loud behind me, like there were at least 4-5 of them by my estimate, ( I was so tempted to turn my back to see how young they look) sounded like high school teens, with the typical OMG line after each laugh.

"Deadpool in Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos Sound
As a rule, I stay away from movie theaters in favor of the comforts of home. However, after reading Scott Wilkinson’s articles about the viewing experience at Dolby Cinema-equipped venues, I knew I had to make the trek to experience it. Currently, there are only 13 theaters equipped with Dolby Cinema auditoriums. The closest one to my Philadelphia home is the AMC Empire 25 in Times Square—a two hour trip under the best conditions.
[The AMC Empire 25 Theater in Times Square.]
I picked Deadpool for my first Dolby Cinema experience because it’s R-rated, and it’s a Marvel comic book film. I had already missed the Dolby Cinema window for catching Star Wars, and The Revenant didn’t much interest me. But Deadpool seemed like my kind of movie, so I hopped on a 7 am bus and headed to the NY to catch the first theatrical showing in Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos.
I had considered making the trek to Times Square to see The Revenant, not to mention Star Wars, but I’d rather watch Ryan Reynolds spend an hour and a half cracking wise and slaying comic villains than the same amount of time watching Leo DiCaprio grunting and eating raw liver, or witnessing the destruction of yet another Death Star.
I’m pleased to report that fans of hard-R movies filled with fights, sex, and sarcasm will find plenty to like in Deadpool. It’s fair to say that despite its comic-book origins and the the inclusion of two X-men characters, it is a film that should be kept far away from children. Indeed, Deadpool is on the same level (of violence) as R-rated classics like Robocop and Die Hard. When it comes to the use of profanity, explicit imagery, sardonic puns, and body count it pulls no punches, so to speak. I woke up this morning replaying scenes in my mind and grinning, which is more than I can say for 95% of movies I watch.
The Dolby Cinema theatrical experience was a world apart from a regular movie theater. Reserved seating allowed me to choose the fifth-row center seat, for optimal immersion. Each row was extra-deep, to accommodate reclining leather seats that reminded me of a high-end home theater. The steep stadium-style seating arrangement meant the fifth row was situated at exactly 1/2 of the screen’ height, yielding both aural and visual symmetry. I settled back in the leather recliner as the lights dimmed, ready to be blown away.
Deadpool did not disappoint. The movie itself delivered the thrills and shock value I had hoped for. Thanks to Dolby Vision HDR and 4K resolution, it looked and sounded better than any movie I’ve seen in a theater. The first thing I noticed was the improvement in contrast afforded by HDR; seeing plasma-deep blacks in a commercial movie theater gratifies the eyes. There were a number of scenes shot in dark rooms that benefited tremendously from superior shadow detail. Overall, colors were rich and accurate, highlights glistened, and the entire screen looked razor-sharp.
As good as the picture quality was, I found three things about the visual presentation to be distracting. The first issue was the exit lights and aisle lights, they illuminated the bottom left and right corners of the screen, making it impossible for the blacks to be as dark and as uniform as was potentially possible. It was a minor distraction, and I am sure there are legal plus insurance-related reasons for the position and brightness of the signs.
Visual issue number two was a bit more serious; the screen suffered from a bit of hotspotting. I only saw it during bright scenes, and it only affected a small area of the screen. However, once I noticed it, I could not ignore it. My third issue with the visual presentation was the frame rate. Simply put, I feel strongly that 24 frames per second needs to be retired as a standard. It’s ridiculous to have to put up with judder and blurriness every time the camera moves, I find nothing artistic about it.
The Dolby Atmos audio was impressive for a movie theater, but the truth is I’ve heard better sound quality in numerous home theaters, and even in my own studio. Mind you, I was sitting in what should have been a fairly optimal location for audio, but I never achieved the suspension of disbelief I get from a great home-theater AV system.
One issue I had with the sound had to do with bass reproduction. Yes, the subs in the theater moved a ton of air, and you could feel every impact resonate, and that’s all a good thing. However, I also heard telltale signs of bass distortion during the deepest notes. A great subwoofer system would have rendered the sweeps that delve into the infrasonic realm viscerally, but silently. Furthermore, the room rattled quite a bit during the low bass hits, which is its own form of distortion. This proved very distracting, and made me appreciate how a quality home-based surround system in a rattle-free room spoils you.
Thee biggest issue I had with the sound at the Dolby Cinema had to do with Atmos height effect. Simply put, the elevation channels did not come into play much, despite numerous action scenes where it seemed as if the height channels should come into play. I’ll have to wait until Deadpool comes out on Blu-ray to make a judgement call on whether the lack of height effects was the due to the mix, or if it’s the theater that let me down.
Despite my few quibbles, the Dolby Cinema experience is notable for how much better it was than a standard theatrical screening. I’m happy that moviegoers lucky enough to live in locations with such a venue enjoy a superior viewing experience. Based on what I witnessed at the Deadpool theatrical premiere, I can’t wait to see what it’s like when viewed at home with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos."

Went to see it today and it is a good movie. jokes are crude but not brainless. The movie is actually for thinking adults. Funny in many ways... A good quality Home Theater would have done it justice. Dialog is constant even during the most violent scenes and this film is ladden with gore you rarely see in a superhero movie.
Good but I could have waited for the Bluray ... Directing and Editing are top notch . They hold this movie together.
