I really really enjoyed it. I feel like I laughed at it more than the second Deadpool. I really loved how it basically tied up the Fox universe and, not gonna lie, got a little verklempt at the end. Surprisingly emotional.
The music was fantastic too.
I enjoyed it, 3.5/5 stars, but there are issues.
It feels overlong. The constant fights between Deadpool and Wolverine grow tiresome. The swearing is at the level of a 12 year old trying to be edgy.
Those are actual complaints that don’t involve the subject matter, which I’m totally down for. I was slightly disapponted they went with a Music Man reference instead of Greatest Showman, but fine, whatever.
I thought the beginning was really slow and dragged on, like the scene where DP interviews to be an Avenger- it was almost 10 minutes and then it transitioned to another long scene at the TBA. I appreciate the ability to get characters into the movie but after they killed x-force I still feel the humor and light-heartedness get in the way of the awesomeness. With all that said I couldn’t believe they tied all the parts of the movie together and the slow beginning ended up being relevant at the end, and I felt that the movie really picked up steam the more it went on - the scene where DP and Wolverine fight all the Deadpools was a work of art.
I can’t believe this is the only movie discussion thread I can find on Lemmy. There’s at least 20 articles about the box office revenue.
Haha yeah it’s tough to get good media discussions on Lemmy unfortunately
I really liked it. So many awesome cameos and a very Deadpool-esque story. 5/5 for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed the front half, but felt the same as the other commenter that it just kept…going… Still was fun
Definitely fun, lots of cameos – ::: spoiler spoiler Especially enjoyed Johnny Storm ::: – but also has that bit of heart that Kevin Feige promised. Not a movie to overthink how some things happened and worked, but simply to lean back, laugh and enjoy.
Oh, and I was really positively surprised that their TVA storyline made sense with the end of Loki and that ::: spoiler spoiler Wunmi Mosaku ::: showed up.
