Given all the incredibly tone perfect lead up stuff, they will really have to be going some to fuck this up.

There's a big difference between some short adverts and a feature length film. It certainly helps that they've got the tone of the character right but the film itself could still be a total mess with a bullshit incoherent story and terrible supporting characters. I'm fully expecting to enjoy the one-liners and whatnot but there's no more guarantee of a good overall film than with any other blockbuster unfortunately. Hope for the best but expect the worst and all that jazz.

Generally positive reviews of this that I'm reading, but there are a few scathing reviews dotted about. Not everyone has the same sense of humour though so I suppose this is to be expected.

Actually, I wonder how Airplane! reviewed back when it was released. Is there anyway to find that out, BeeX peeps? Y'know, like a cross section of old reviews back from the time old films were released without any modern day fluff averaging scores or owt? I suppose Wikipedia will do for that actually. Yeah, nevermind, I've answered my own question whilst thinking about typing this. Have a good day.

EDIT:
Quote:
Airplane! received universal acclaim from critics and is widely regarded as one of the best films of 1980.

Well apparently everyone in the world thought Airplane! was hilarious when it was released so I suppose that if you truly are hilarious then everyone will think you're hilarious. Maybe comedy is not so subjective after all.

I think its more that Airplane has soo many jokes that a good percentage will hit home for any given percentage... Its like a joke every twenty seconds, some really silly, some more clever.

Yeah, I reckon most comedy is pretty subjective but I think Airplane is exceptional in that anyone aged between five and dead who isn't a humourless fuck is going to laugh at lots of it.

This might not actually be that meaningful given the usual machinations of Hollywood but it's certainly not a bad sign:

Before offering an opinion on how funny the film is, can Bamba confirm whether he thinks Airplane! is the most hilarious movie ever made. Y'know, just so I can gauge whether our sense of humours are aligned.

It's.....




Pretty damn amazing. I'm going to have to watch it again because of the 'holy crap I just missed what he just said because I was laughing at the last thing he said' thing.

ETA: it's full on Deadpool. No half measures. It's messy, self-referential, down right dirty. And I enjoyed the shit out of it.

Whenever you want to.

Just add spoiler tags for the moment, just in case silly people are reading this thread looking for non-spoiler impressions of the film.

He said that he went through a similar process to Deadpool, and it gave him different powers, like super strength and incredible reflexes, etc, but not healing.

You know what I liked about it?

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
It was small. One (crazy/hilarious/awesome) guy's quest for revenge. No 'the world is in danger, we must defeat this army of Mooks while flying around with long tracking shots' that the big MCU seem to rely on as their climaxes.


Also...
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
It was pretty accurate to the comics. They got Deadpool, Weasel and Blind Al spot on. And Bob! I liked the X-men back-up squad. Negasonic Teenage Warhead is a great foil for Deadpool's aggressive stupidity, meanwhile Piotr as a big metal bumbling boy scout? Great. Ajax is probably better than he is in the comics. Angel Dust is completely different, but who the fuck knows who she is in the comics?


Bad things: some (not much but some) slightly ropey CG work. Having 'Shoop' by Salt and Pepper stuck in my brain, and it won't come out.

In Conclusion: Deadpool: you'll never see Crocs in the same way.

12 bullets out of ten.

I agree that the scale of it was a good match for the character, and also for a film that's first and foremost a comedy. That's a really weird springboard to use though to espouse a really weird opinion about the other Marvel films. I mean if you want to watch an Avengers film where the world isn't in danger at all and the whole team hunts down, I dunno, a burglar or something then, well, you're mad. The reason these films address massive world-ending threats is because the team has massive world-saving powers and stuff needs to be proportional otherwise the plot's a complete nonsense right from the start.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead is also completely different from her comics character but, as with some of the others, I agree that it doesn't matter at all. Though it does beg the question why they bothered even picking existing characters when they could've just invented new ones for all the difference it made.

Weasel, Blind Al, Ajax and Angel Dust I didn't recognise at all and am only realising from your comments they were even comics characters. I wonder if they haven't really appeared since I started reading comics, or if my memory is just a lot worse than I realise.


Random amusing thing I noticed and have only just remembered:

At some point before he's Deadpool-ified Wade's walking around with a Bea Arthur t-shirt on. :D
