I’m hugely happy about this, not just because I enjoyed the movie (although I did), but because I am so utterly sick of the spate of PG-13 action movies in recent years. For Cthulhu’s sake, even Die Hard has gone PG-13!
Heck, even Star Wars, which has always been PG, has gone PG-13. I’m okay with that, but I’m really not okay with every single action movie being bloodless fluff. I want to see limbs severed, chests exploded, people cursing and, well, e…r, other adult stuff. Cough. Like taxes, maybe.
Anyway. I really, really hope that the success of Deadpool helps cement the recent trend toward more mature big-budget fare at the cinema.
The next Alien, Terminator, Die-Hard and so on could now actually, even realsitcally, return to its/their R-rated roots, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Bring it on, Hollywood.
