A lot of the jokes fell flat in my theater
Which might I add was still filled with avid Deadpool fans. It just was ad nauseam. Seemed to me that every other sentence was a joke, which didn't allow most to breathe.

shareYes. Jokes we bad and never landed the way they expected.
And too many of them. It was exhausting. He kept and kept going with his unfunny jokes. Specially dirty sex-jokes who were aimed at horny teenagers from the 90-th movies who obsessively watch American Pie. It was awkward sitting in theater and watching them. Considering that people of all ages were there, including teens and women. And none of that was funny to anyone. No one laughed.
Ryan Reynolds is one of the writers. And it feels like he mentally stuck in his Van Wilder era and many his jokes come straight from the 1998 stereotypical hollywood horny frat boy.
I don't think anyone asked for those pervy jokes he did here. No one laughed.
Yup.
shareYou mean "who watched Van Wilder", not the other movie. Chris Evans also looked more like in his role from "Not another Teen movie"
shareDefinitely didn't give me Johnny Storm vibes. He probably doesn't even remember how that character's supposed to be lol.
shareYeah, that I was also disappointed of, Johnny was never the leader, so would be much worse condition after his team was killed off and him now in the leader position in a desperate situation. Also no real cocky behavior left. He was just a coward, not a broken man he should have been.
shareYes. That was more like a parody in Scary Movie then like the actual Johnny Storm.
shareVan fucking Wilder!
shareLike when you say Avid Deadpool fans, you mean like they just watched the 1st movie before this and are still trying to process it??
shareDid you take a poll of each person in the theater to find out how deep the fandom for the character ran in them? Or are you just guessing?
shareI have enough sense to know his audience by who attended. Grandma and the like weren't exactly in the majority. Plus you definitely get a sense when obscure cameos would show up on-screen and the reactions they'd receive but keep bein you I guess...
shareI had a good theater that laughed a lot. If it was empty it'd be a different experience. Was fun sharing laughs with a community. Still think the first Deadpool is the best of three, DP & Wolv was better than DP 2.
But as an art form there's nothing special about Sean Levey as a director. He's purely a corporate golden goose. RR & Hugh carried the film alone.
The plot was definitely lacking.
shareit was not the laugh riot i was expecting. lots of USA specific jokes.
shareMaybe the audience was woke?
shareBefore the movie started, we had a theater staff member tell us we'd be laughing 90% of the time which was such BS. Some of the jokes landed but the majority of them didn't due to referencing things no one really knows.
shareI went opening weekend. Almost half of the theater was full, mostly adults in their 20s and 30s, with the occasional grandparent with a small child also there for some reason. The jokes landed about 50% of the time for the audience in my theater. I still think the first Deadpool was the best one.
