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 thoroughly enjoyed the front half, but felt the same as the other commenter that it just kept...going... Still was fun

I really liked it. So many awesome cameos and a very Deadpool-esque story. 5/5 for me.

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

Definitely fun, lots of cameos –

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

Wunmi Mosaku

showed up.
