I'd guess there was 2 or 3 families that brought young kids. I'm talking 7 to 12ish. I wish I were shocked but sadly I'm not, people are just oblivious
For what it's worth, I was watching R rated movies at that age...I don't particularly see anything wrong with it.

They left in the Blackbird but I don't remember any sight gag.
That was the gag. An actual SR-71... With VTOL jets. The X-Men had one for a while until everyone realized how silly that was and changed the blackbird to the spaceship-looking jet from the Jim Lee era and the cartoon. It was just ridiculously retro, like NTW's uniform.
That's not really a gag though. I'm pretty sure they flew one just like in First Class, too.

Well, in all fairness, I think the X-jet from from the first X-Men movies was decidedly more futuristic looking. The jet from the second movie was a lot more Blackbird-like though.

That doesn't seem to be a good argument as you watched rated R movies to early and now you are on Dakka. There must be a connection.
Seriously though I don't think anyone is saying no kid could handle it, but generally it isn't a good idea. Every kid thinks they are more mature than they are pretty much, and many parents think their kid is the exception but they rarely are.

What makes things an R-rated movie?
Nudity, profanity, and gore. Deadpool got an R for the first two, not really the last and quite frankly, only the last really should be any sort of problem for a pre-teen.

Not really the last? Seriously? Did you watch the same Deadpool as me? There was an absolute *tonne* of gore in that film.

Which would probably be why most places rated it 14/15/16+ or their equivalent.
It wasn't gory in the vein of a Saw film or something of that ilk, but it's still fairly gory. I mean, he saws off his own hand in full view of the audience, a dude become embedded in a road sign, there's numerous torture scenes, and a load of other things. It may not be the goriest film to eve be released, but lets not pretend that it wasn't gory.

Which is generally why we are talking about 7-10 year olds. I know kids will see it at some point, but I don't find much value in just being totally ok with a kid going to an adult film but really the issue (for me) is the parents taking them. Figuring out how to watch movies not meant for one is a rite of passage and parents taking them ruins all that.
Also, how much fun are the sex scenes with your mom right next to you?

I'd say that it was gory, the gore just wasn't gore for gore sake. It was gore for the sake of making the over-the-top violence realistic(ish).

Yeah, it was an appropriate amount relative to what was happening(most of the time).
Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
I think that's part of what made the gore appropriate. A lot of movies would have just shown you that seen. Deadpool turns a discretion shot into a 4th wall break instead.

Far as I could tell, that was some relatively minor finger snapping. So it was done for comedic effect and not to not show anything nasty.

I remember seeing plenty of gory stuff. What it seemed they did do though was take a page from Fury Road and they didn't dwell on it. The violence was there, but the camera didn't stay there showing the aftermath, it just showed it happen and moved on.
Saw it with a buddy last night and loved it. Second favorite super hero movie after Guardians. And like Guardians I'll be able to watch this a couple times a year and other times as background while hobbying.
Seeing it again this weekend with the wifey

Great movie, I loved the Stinger. Just was in bliss the entire movie, start to finish. every line, every scene. Not many movies keep my attention as much as this movie

I'm fairly sure they are canning T-Ray, the whole subplot about T-Ray being the real Wade Wilson (or not), and quite possibly also Vanessa becoming Copycat.
Also, when I first saw Vanessa with her short hair, I immediately thought about Domino rather than Copycat. She also fit's Domino's persona better, I think, since Domino's niche in regards to Deadpool is the sexy fun girlfriend, while Copycat is the sexy tragic femme fatale.
I like that they toned down DP's dementia and removed the question of his real identity. I marathonned all DP's comics about a year ago, and it's a real downer when you hit the point where you become convinced that DP is just a nameless psycho stalker.
The one thing that made me sad was the retcon to Blind Al. I mean, it was pretty assured, but I kept hoping they would find a way to maintain her as Captain America's old flame. Eventually, when the franchise picked up, that might have made a great confrontation.

Personally, Deadpool 2 should go off the really REALLY deep end, and involve his other, other... other? girlfriend, Death herself
...Man, that movie could go... places, and probably few of them pretty

That'll be later. If Cable is the next antagonist, then it's stands to reason that the next villain is actually the Techno-Organic Virus (through Cable). That might also tie into the Apocalypse X-men movie, given that he's a carrier.
Thanos will need to get more developpment before they introduce Death. After Infinity Gauntlet at least, and perhaps the next Guardian movie, so, perhaps for Deadpool 3?

That's assuming they maintain roughly the same story that the comics had, which isn't guaranteed.

Finally saw this movie. Had a blast. Very funny, great action, well put together and generally an excellent time in the cinema.
My fav bit was Deadpool trying to take out Colossus and breaking his foot and both hands.
As far as the violence and the rating goes, it's not a kid's film, pure and simple. And there wasn't much gore in this film. Blood splatter yes, but the most gory part was the splatting against the sign on the freeway, but they cut away from that very quickly.
It's not a perfect comparison, as it's "Ultra-Violence" rather than straight up gore, but the Spartacus TV show was more gory than this ever was. 300 was as well (also ultra-violence, but still). The gore in this was on the same level as the CGI bodies exploding from the AA-12 explosive rounds in the first Expendables film.
