Now that this movie is out, kicks all ass, and broke tons of records, can we finally fix the title? His name is Ryan Reynolds. Even if the title is intended to be possessive, it's done incorrectly. I've even seen people in this thread call him "Reynold's" without any intended usage of possessive.
Grammar Nazi blah blah, this movie fucking rocked, and I can't wait til the sequel. Buying this on Blu-ray the minute it comes out, and kudos to Ryan REYNOLDS for being such a trooper and finally getting his movie made, and made so fucking well. Yeah boi!

Title is still wrong. The way it's spelled now implies multiple Ryan Reynold in possessive form.
It should be Ryan Reynolds's.
It should be Ryan Reynolds's.

The apostrophe on the outside of the end of a proper (or common for that matter) noun ending in "s" is all that is needed to express possession no? It's been 25 years since I took any English classes.

Only if it's plural. Reynolds isn't plural, it just ends in an -s. So if his last name was Ryan Reynold, then Reynold's would be appropriate.
Just like if it was a guy named Chris. Would Chris' Deadpool or Chris's Deadpool sound right?
I really hope we get a lively grammatical debate going in the Deadpool thread.

Actually its not that cut and dry. There is no single rule for how to treat apostrophe s in English. Up until this century the rule was that Biblical or classical names ending in s would get the single apostrophe to form the possessive form - Jesus' book, Socrates' philosophy - but common names would always be 's - Reynolds's Deadpool, Sanders's Jew Nose.
Now however different publications have different style guides. The AP uses a single apostrophe for all proper names ending in -s. The Chicago manual of style is the opposite and adds 's to all names to form the possessive - Jesus's book. The New York Times and other major papers uses the Chicago style however they add the caveat that if the word ends with a double sibilant sound (non silent) to remove the extra 's. Texas' queers, Kansas' steers.
No matter what though we can all agree that it was a shame we didn't get to see Morena Baccarin's beautiful tits, but you can rewatch Homeland season 1 to see them

I'm right there with you.
Let's talk about how much of a leap forward the AIM-9X was over earlier iterations, and how influential HOBS and HMS systems were.

Just saw it tonight, great movie. BEST Stan Lee cameo of any Marvel movie yet, hands down. But, even in the post-movie euphoria that inflates my opinion of it, I don't think this was a 'better' movie then Guardians. I'd currently put it as #2 or 3, cause it's hard to compare it to normal Marvel based movies. It was going for something different then Avengers, for example, but I put them neck and neck for my 2nd favorite super hero movie to date. Definitely Fox's best Marvel movie so far, so let's hope they learn something from this before rebooting something like Fantastic Four again.
