My thoughts


I found the movie, overall, to be an easy watch. Some of the jokes landed well, the costumes for many characters looked nice, and I love the cameos from Blade, Elektra, X-23, Gambit, and Human Torch. I like the opening montage where Deadpool dances / kills to N'Sync's "Bye Bye Bye"; and I like the first fight scene between Deadpool and Wolverine

Several shortcomings prevent the movie from reaching A+ level though. Some of the jokes, particularly the ones involving Fox Network, fall flat. Too much of the movie occurs in The Void, and Professor X's sister is nowhere close to being intimidating or interesting enough to be the primary villain. The whole plot involving "Anchor Beings" and multiverses seems lazy

And my last criticism is that I just didn't like seeing Jackman reprise his role as Wolverine after Logan. He had the best send-off to his character. Many people defend his return by noting that "this is another Logan from another universe," but I find that nuance to be splitting hairs. The character in this movie is still Wolverine played by Jackman. Plus, we see many references to Logan, including an appearance one specific character. Therefore, the movie does diminish Jackman's sendoff in Logan

The movie is bad! I guess the villain was underwhelming but she was so hot and sexy I really wanted to bone her! I'm one of the few fans that think Logan was the biggest abomination on the planet and grievous insult to the legacy of the X-Men and pretty much the shittiest film ever made so I was more than happy for Wolvie's return! I never saw the N Sync video until after this movie came out I didn't understand the opening sequence at all!
