Once Upon A Deadpool Review

Movie Ratings

The current PG13 rating allows the use a limited number of profanity words during the film otherwise the film will get an R rating.  Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were both rated R mostly for the profanity used throughout the movie in place of actual dialogue. I was not a big fan of these movies coming in at an R rating as it would reopen the door for other superhero movies to go for an R rating. My personal opinion was that profanity in a superhero movie would be overused like 3D because studios believed it was the key for the movie's success at the box office. It was not. The character was.

In my opinion, I believe Logan was properly done as an R movie as it did not over use profanity in the movie. Many might believe that the Deadpool movies were the first R rated superhero movies. They were not.  All three Blade movies that came out in 1998, 2002, and 2004 respectively were the first R rated superhero movies. I believe these movies were also properly done like Logan with their use of profanity. As a side note, Ryan Reynolds appeared in Blade: Trinity and Blade is also a Marvel license.

Spoilers

In case you were not aware, Once Upon A Deadpool is actually Deadpool 2 as a PG13 movie. Deadpool tells the movie to Fred Savage using a recreated bedroom set from The Princes Bride. I will give the banter between Fred and Deadpool positive reviews especially with Fred saying he has never seen the first movie and that it doesn't count as a Marvel movie because it was made by 20th Century Fox. The conversation between scenes are actually funny poking more fun at Disney and the movie itself.

Deadpool has a hand held bleeper for profanity during the bedroom scenes.  It is used during one scene that makes you believe Fred is using the "F" bomb when in fact he is saying the word fight. The word fudge is used throughout the movie to replace all the other profanity used. There are many innuendos throughout the PG13 movie.  Many of these changes are done easily as Deadpool's mask hides the original words used in the film.

My Review

When I watched Deadpool 2, I felt they left most of the funny scenes for the just before and during the credits.  This PG13 version was refreshing mainly because of the new scenes with Fred throughout the film were funnier than the movie itself. Several scenes were expanded, deleted scenes such as the X-Men closing a door to a side room were added, and several scenes were removed to keep the new rating.

Until this version, I did not realize Brad Pitt had a cameo as the Vanisher. Fred talks about the lazy writing and how bad the movie is but is surprised by the emotional ending. I believe Deadpool 2 was not as good as the first movie but the additional scenes in Once Upon A Deadpool have made the movie worth watching multiple times. If you want to watch the best version of Deadpool 2, I would recommend Once Upon A Deadpool.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
