Really, I don't think Ebert had a problem with the disgusting part so much as he has a problem with the fact that there is absolutely nothing in the film whatsoever for anyone who didn't go just to see icky things. It's the sort of movie you have to rather heavily qualify before recommending, hence the two stars as opposed to three. It reminds me of the AV club's review of Babylon A.D., another classic case in which some people did a very good job on costume and set design in the service of a rather dire film.

Yep, I was talking about his review of War Zone. I just wanted to see an action flick, I wasn't really going in hope of seeing someone's head graphically blown apart with a shotgun, or skull caved in by a chair leg. Nice to see body armor actually reliably work in a film, though. Babylon AD seemed like it was trying to cram another movie's worth of stuff in the last 20 or 30 minutes, so they dropped almost all of it. Has anyone read the book (Babylon Babies) or an earlier script?
Lines:
Man, at least in the X-Men movies, Jackman looked like he actually had claws on his hands sometimes. The ones in this movie looked fake the entire time. Also, there were oddly placed slow motion scenes that were rather bad. Also Deadpool's head being cut off should have stopped the laser eye thing.
Surgoshan:
Sometimes I have serious trouble suspending disbelief.
At one point, Wolverine and the black teleporter are driving down the road on choppers and the black guy is wearing a cowboy hat. Why didn't his hat blow off? Totally ruined the movie for me. I mean, what, did he have a second mutant power that kept his hat on? BULLSHIT! NERD RAGE!!!!!!

It was awesome. But god damn, everything I didn't want to happen to Wade Wilson happened. I walked into this knowing it would not be good and I was right. I got what I expected.
Wait, your suspended disbelief is troubled by a cowboy hat not blowing in the wind. That's all?
Surgoshan:
I'm sorry, I should have included this tag.
