Oh.  Boy.

 

Yeah, love this.

Deadpool 2 didn't do much for me the same way the first movie did, as I believe that one review put it properly that " Deadpool is almost too much... but the breaks in the story in the movie help you not get completely sick of his shtick."

Deadpool 2 was too much and not nearly as good in my opinion ( also didn't help the kid they were trying to save was a complete ass and kind of wanted him dead).

But here is to hoping that Hugh Jackman's Logan/Wolverine can help the third film find a better balance. I mean he's carried multiple X-men movies almost by himself, I am sure he will do well for this franchise.

I thought the kid was excellent.  Kids are often obnoxious, and this kid was destined to become a major bad guy. This wasn't about saving some nice innocent kid, it was about saving a douchebag from himself. I like this kind of story because it isn't so black and white, it acknowledges that the world is messy.

Well, whatever will happen in Deadpool 3, we are assured that the genius marketing strategy of Ryan Reynolds is going to hype up the movie even more.  The highlights for me in the movies are the scenes where Deadpool pokes fun at Ryan Reynolds.  I see Deadpool breaking the 4th wall better than She-hulk.  Hugh Jackman is such a big sport taking so much crap from Ryan Reynolds, which is why I love their bromance so much.

 

Haha!  Marvel Jesus! 

Now that Ryan Reynolds have a lot more material to work with, who knows where this will take us.

"Let's f***ing go."

The marketing campaign is going crazy. So many things so far... But this is another great piece.
 

 

WHO'S NEXT?!?

 

Three weeks to go!  I have a very strong feeling that we're all being trolled by all these trailers.

Let's ****ing Go.

"You really are God's perfect idiot, aren't you?"

Really can't unsee this.  Ketchup and Mustard!  Genius marketing indeed.

"You were always the wrong guy...until you weren't."

Hey!  Saw this over the weekend and I really enjoyed it.  Cameos galore.   Ryan Reynold's didn't pull any punches and really put in a lot of fan service.

Agreed. It was ****ing fantastic.

So, are we allowed to talk spoilers now or do we wait until next week?  (as if Social Media hasn't already)

Saw it yesterday.

I can't believe the cameos. It had **** in there and ****. And imagine having **** show up just to play *****.

And ****** as *****.... that was ****ing ace.

I would say at least a couple of weeks after the release day.

I'd say, mention you are going to post spoilers and then give a couple lines of space... But at this point, as you have stated, Social media jerks have spoiled most of it, it not all of it.

I think at this point, anyone coming into a Deadpool 3 post, that has a bunch of buffer posts already, a week after launching, should expect spoilers.

*Edit* Edited the topic title to warn of spoilers anyway.

Yeah, I'll wait one more weekend before saying anything.  It's cool that this may become the highest grossing R-rated file ever.  I'm planning on watching it again.

Wow!  The movie has now grossed over $1B.

I really enjoyed seeing a lot of the variants, especially the Cavillrine.  But noted that despite his frame being very impressive, there seems to be something off with the way his face looks.  I don't know if it's because he only shaved his moustache, which seems to be a dig at DC, but I feel that he looks too hairy?

The phrase "Avengers..... Flame On!!" and the expression that followed was priceless.  I loved Chris Evans as Captain America, and I'm glad to see him as Johnny Storm here instead.

And because of this movie, Bye Bye Bye has been stuck on my head for weeks.  The Dance scene at the opening was really great and refreshing.

One nitpick I found was that Wolverine is missing his shoulder pads.  Also, doesn't Channing Tatum looks kinda fat for Gambit?  I'm not talking about his build, I mean, look at his round face.  But then, that's probably just me.
