Just follow the rules mate and all is good...its not hard is it.
OMG your now even deliberately opening Spoiler tags in this thread!!
Your point is null and void. Your fabricating your own situation so that you can complain about it.
I'm doing it because your behaving like a child mate. I knew exactly what you were going to put in there.
Just don't act like a **** and follow the rules of the forum and all is good...ask a mod to dump "spoilers" on the thread title instead of being a tool.
Neither is using some common sense based on experience of repeated forum behaviour. It's as inevitable as death and taxes that a thread about a movie or series that is currently airing will be discussed. I genuinely fail to see why you would be reading the thread without those expectations.

maybe we should have a pre release forum for discussion up to the point of release (in this country) and a post-release forum for everything after.
It would certainly most of the accident reveals of the plot to those that havent seen the film yet. it would also (mostly) stop people acting like *******s.

Good stuff and finally after attempting 3 or 4 comic book characters Ryan Reynolds found a perfect role. CGI let it down in quite a few scenes, which I still find baffling. Mo-cap is going completely backwards for the last 24 months, looks like it's time to drop the current crop of lazy by-the-number FX companies and current technology and move on.
Also, the use of "the only X men studio could afford" - totally unnecessary. The script and character was good enough to stand on its own, it had good enough appeal for non comic book audience and it didn't need to be propped by a cheap, backwater end of a tired and very geeky franchise. Colossus and the whatever-Sinead-girl-was-called presence only confused things for those that do not follow the whole extended X-men universe - my girlfriend asked WTF was the iron statue guy and sonic the hedgehog sidekick - and I realised that even if I managed to explain the whole Xavier Institute Xmansion thing before they chuck us out of the cinema I couldn't really satisfactory answer the main question anyway.

All we need imo is one thread, no spoilers before it is officially released, and then normal discussion afterwards. Yes it's better if people use spoiler tags for major spoilers but you just have to expect that there will be some spoilers, however minor.
You did it again!!!
Deadpool fights Ajax on a big "Helicarrier" and then shoots him in the head
Loved it, nice to see it do well.
But why, oh why do I fear Fox is going to learn the wrong lessons about why this worked and was a success and we get a horde bad films with excessive swearing and gore that are R rated for no reason other than "it worked there".

Saw this last night and absolutely loved it despite not being a Marvel/Superhero movie fan generally. Ryan Reynolds being hot helps too. 
There were people clapping at the end, I can't remember the last time I experienced that in a cinema.

On the CGI - to be fair, this was a very low budget superhero film. Well under half the budget of even something like Antman. I wouldn't expect the CGI to be the most cutting edge.
On the whole, though, I'd agree that CGI is rarely done well - not just the last 24 months.
After another mate said "I haven't seen Deadpool yet, want to go?" I have seen it 3 times in just over a week. I can now confirm that this film is awesome. It isn't a perfect film but the faults fade away compared to it being so entertaining and funny.
Fantastic film. Haven't seen a film so meta while still being fantastic since Shaun of the Dead.
I'm not a huge fan of Superhero films outside of the Dark Knight trilogy so I probably didn't notice every reference but I was still able to notice many of them so it definitely gets a point for being quite open to the general audience. The humour and the use of sex and violence was right up my street. Not entirely sure how it passed as a 15 though (I could maybe understand the violence and language bit but I definitely thought the full frontal nudity would have pushed it up).

Just saw it in theaters - Ryan Reynolds was MADE for this part. He blew it out of the waters imo.
