Kick Ass is better than Deadpool... no one talks about it anymore. i guess the sequel fukked everything up. i also don't know why comics and graphic novels are lumped together sometimes, but not other times, b/c Kingsman is also a "R Rated comic movie" that is better than Deadpool.
I don't even dislike Deadpool, the hype is just out of control
Kickass was one of my favorite theater experiences of my life. Deadpool was 2nd to last. The most over the top, riduclous crowd I've ever watched a movie with. "Did Deadpool just say 'the?!' ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-- - *2 scenes later* "--ah ah ha. the."
It's a sign of success, really. People have said "We wanted Deadpool & they just delivered him to a film. End of." The problem with that statement is that it undermines how rare it is for a studio to deliver a near perfect depiction of a comic book character.
How long have they been trying to get Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, etc. right? And still to this day you have people who are split on each incarnation. So to have a character like Deadpool, with a rabid fanbase, come to a damn near 100% consensus that they nailed it & they're happy with it, is quite an achievement.
A lot of writers, producers, fanbases, & comic book companies would kill for that execution and acclaim.

fair... but just to play counterpoint for sake of discussion... the movie made $750 mil. how many mil of that were people who were demanding the character be faithful to the source material. the comic reading nerd is a dying bread . these are the biggest movies on the planet. most people on the planet don't read comics. there's a loud vocal minority online who whine when a race is changed or 2 characters are mixed to create one, but ultimately they are gonna stop caring about you.It's a sign of success, really.

Yeah. Kick ass gets forgotten because it's kick ass. That's no diss it's just reality. Kick ass doesn't have the pop culture cache of deadpool or the geek cache of the rocketeer. It's a good flick but I can understand why it wouldn't make a top 30 list. But I can also understand why it would.thank you!
and ima Deadpool fan FOREAL!
i actually went to the flix (after watching that leaked version of X-Men Origins with no CG ) and almost tossed my blu razz slushy at the screen seeing how they did the homie Pool Guy!
this was the PERFECT portrayal of a comic character i think ive ever seen

It's almost as if opinions are varied and there's no exact science behind them
But you all are right. Because it doesn't validate my beliefs or opinions it = trash
