I thought it was better than Deadpool (Spoilers)

I personally thought this movie was better than Deadpool, especially with the action sequences (POV fight sequence in the beginning was really neat) and the humor approach (except for the sex & toilet humor) was much more clever than Ryan Reynolds spewing pop culture quips every 5 minutes.

But overall, I actually enjoyed this movie as I did not have that much of a huge expectation going on. Just something enjoyable to watch on a Saturday afternoon.

I saw both films on consecutive days and while they're both very formulaic and predictable, I laughed a lot more at Grimsby. It's not a great picture by any means, but where Deadpool always feels reined in and not as edgy as it thinks, Grimsby knows its gutter humor and really goes all out with it.

Got to agree, too. While Grimsbly really pushes the limits on taste, at least it was funny, unlike Deadpool, which was just profanity-laden boredom.

THANK YOU! Deadpool was the most tame R-rated movie I've seen since Die Hard 5!

It doesn't take much to be better than Deadpool.

99% of the movies are better than Deadpool. Deadpool was lame, cheesy and way overdone on the jokes movie. This was brilliant

Your comments make it quite obvious that you have not read the Deadpool comics nor do you have any clue what Deadpool actually is about.
