It's a decent action movie, but the vulgar joking about getting fucked in the ass and sexual abuse jokes were tired even in DP2.
Thread: Deadpool 3 - Trailer
It's a decent action movie, but the vulgar joking about getting fucked in the ass and sexual abuse jokes were tired even in DP2.
It reached $1.15B. Really insane for a R-rated movie. I hope it helps push things back in the direction of quality and giving fans what they actually want.

Didn't see it tonight as it was sold out. Pretty impressive for a Wednesday show of a film that's been out nearly a month.
Have tickets for Friday instead so will give impressions after.

Plot was meh. But it was a great trip down memory lane and funny.

Saw it. Liked it. Should preface that I don't give a flying fish about Marvel or comic book films much in general but I like the humour in these particular ones. Especially all the nods and inside jokes for fans of the lesser regarded Marvel films from Blade onwards.
As stand alone stuff, pretty entertaining. Ryan Reynolds is perfect for Deadpool, as always.

Saw it at last, it was more nostalgia bait than a movie, but I liked all the characters and there were some good fights. Seeing Blade and Wolverine again was fantastic, Channing Tatum was great finally getting to be Gambit, even Electra and Johnny Storm we're cool to see again. I just wished there was a better movie plot for them to have been in.
Honestly, I'm also kind of bummed they killed of Cassandra Nova. She was a great villain and would have been a much better threat than bloody Kang for the wider MCU.
Hopefully they look at how well this did, how terribly their woke shit has done (and I have no doubt how badly the Falcon movie is going to fail), and actually pivot back to decent properly fan pleasing superhero flicks.
Give me a new Blade movie in particular. A fully balls out, cool as ever old man Blade, kicking arse and being the baddest motherfucker in any room, killing vampires and dropping one liners like the first 2 movies, would be awesome.

I thought about this, and this is the only way I would want another Blade movie with Snipes. Don't go the Logan or Indiana Jones route of turning him into a broken loser old man. I just want Blade being badass and slaying, not tutoring his daughter to take his place as he falls apart or some shit like that.
I thought he actually l0ooked decent. Blade was like 25 years ago. Hell, Demolition Man was 30 years ago.

I hadn't seen the man in decades. It was just jarring. Like seeing a friend from HS after 30 some-odd years.

Wait they made Indy a broken loser old man?
So glad I never watched the new film

They changed it so that since the last film his son Mutt died (with no siblings or children of his own, ending Indies bloodline), his wife left him, and he was stuck in a dead end job.
By the end his wife came back, but it wasn't really romantic or a proper reunion, she just shows up and is cordial, which is basically what happens with Wade and Vanessa in this film, because that's as close to a heterosexual romance as Hollywood is willing to depict anymore.

Let me guess the female in the film could leap fifty feet, out shoot, fight and out lift Indy all the while telling or making references to him being a relic out of touch. Etc.
While being perfect in anything she does and not facing any struggles etc so is a boring character?

Actually, she betrays her "godfather," fucks up royally and almost gets everyone killed.

Genuinely curious on the shortcomings from your perspective. I get and felt the multiverse fatigue... but it almost felt like the film was satirizing it. Which made it more palatable.
I loved it, personally. I also thought this was the best on screen portrayal of Wolverine to date. It was genuinely downtrodden, biter and angry....but with the slimmest glimmer of hope tucked way back in there to make him a real antihero.
I also did enjoy the jokes about failed/forgotten Fox Marvel films.
Too many dumb gay sex jokes and just too many sex jokes in general
Deadpool casually murdering people but still being propped up as a hero. DP is so completely self centered.
Wolverine ultimately relegated to a jokey, sidekick, for Deadpool. Big downgrade from the serious character who he was in Logan.
Too much fourth wall breaking even by Deadpool standards.
No real drama, NOTHING in the movie can be taken seriously
Morena Baccarin wasted in this film. The woke can't stand happy relationships, so they broke this one up
Complete waste of X23
The movie desecrates Logan and disrespects it in every way conceivable

fair enough.
I actually loved the first 30min of Logan but loathed the last 30min, so this film was a redemption arc for me. But if you liked the ending to Logan, I can see how this one wouldn't jive.
They really exaggerated the whole terrible thing that Wolverine did too. It was built up so much nothing he could say would live up to it. Everything was so meh in this movie
The action scenes were the only great thing

Now, as a casual in the comic book world, it's my understanding that Deadpool's whole shtick is 4th wall breaking/meta humour is that not the case?
The only thing I really enjoyed about D&W was its reverence for older super hero stuff, the actual plotting was pretty poor especially when the whole TVA thing was essentially crowbarred in to keep it in line with Marvel's other offerings. Not to mention that Deadpool 2 has a universe jumping mechanic without the TVA and they feel needlessly inserted here.
Thought Cassandra was pretty undercooked and underwhelming too.

I thought it was meh totally carried by memberberries.
Take out Blade and Remy and it's half the movie it is.
And it was really a comic book. Not much plot tons of telling not showing. The actions scenes are cool. But the problem with almost all modern movies is they have devolved into videogames.
Cool action scenes that feel like you should have a controller and then some cutscene you wish you could skip.
The scene where they fight all the Deadpools was cool but you could tell it's pretty much CGI. Clearly they game Jackman a mask so they could just go all CGI with everything.
Still better than all the other cape shit but the genre is getting played out at this point. I don't have interest in seeing Deadpool in Avengers 6 7 8 9 and 10 nor the 15 Xmen movies Disney will put out.
You could have put any story in the movie and kept the action scenes and nothing really changes

I couldn't shake the feeling that the movie was about nothing more than jokes, memes, violence, and some nostalgia. It had no heart, no soul. I felt like Deadpool wasn't fighting for anything that mattered. He just wanted to save "his" universe because it had the people that "he" cared about in it. He wasn't fighting for a greater good, or for anyone else but the people he cares about. His only other motivation in the movie was trying to be someone who "matters", which is yet another ego based motivation. I know DP is not a traditional hero, but I was hoping at some point he would start actually acting like one, instead of just being a self centered prick who doesn't even care when he gets people killed on account of his own stupid actions. I hated him after watching this.
Wolverine is a fucking X-Man. He should be more of a heroic character than Deadpool and instead I just felt like the movie dragged him down to Deadpool's level. Wolverine never actually feels like Wolverine in this movie. He feels like a bastardized version of the character made for a Deadpool movie.
Also, like I said before, the movie has no respect for the movie that was Logan. The first big action scene at the beginning of the movie is the most blatantly sacrilegious, "let just piss on this movie's memory" that I have ever seen. X 23's scenes were boring and predictable and she honestly didn't do enough to legitimately make me believe that she had convinced Wolverine to change. There should have been a scene of her about to die or something and that finally wakes up something in Wolverine.
To be fair, I had just watched Godzilla Minus One and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, two movies that are fucking masterpieces, so maybe that had something to do with me being underwhelmed with Deadpool and Wolverine. Godzilla and Puss in Boots actually made me FEEL something when I watched them, Deadpool and Wolverine just left me feeling empty. The credits rolled and I was like, "Well, that happened. Too bad I can't get those two hours of my life back"

These scenes really made me hate Deadpool. This piece of shit is not a hero and shouldn't be sharing screentime with an X-Man
The fact that Wolverine BLATANTLY POINTS OUT THAT DEADPOOL IS GETTING PEOPLE KILLED makes it worse because Wolverine ultimately ends up just getting over it. Can you imagine a real fucking hero just being okay with Deadpool getting innocent people murdered?
But the idiots who made this movie think it's okay because it's funny. Everything is about the lulz in this movie. That's why I hate it. Let's just destroy a character for laughs. It's like this movie was written by a dumb high school kid. There's no maturity to the script whatsoever. For this movie to be associated in any way shape or form with the movie Logan is a fucking travesty.

Maybe theaters need a sign in front of the theater doors letting people know they're about to watch a comedy.
Yeah a comedy staring an X-Man...because their movies are so well known for being all about jokes. A movie with allusions to a dark, moody, depressing, drama where a super hero sacrifices himself to save a little girl...who also happens to make an appearance in this film
Nice try Grinchy
I genuinely can't remember a single joke now. It's the artificial sweetener of a comedy, briefly intense then leaves a bad aftertaste.
I used to read Deadpool comics back when I believe it was Joe Kelly writing them (I could be wrong on that though). I don't remember Deadpool being an asshole in those comics. He was more of a screw up. Yes, he could be a dick at times, but I don't remember him being the callous, cold hearted, self centered prick that he is in this movie.
