Fun movie. Lots of shots/digs at Disney and whatnot. Playful, tickle party. Actually, this is what "The Boys" *used* to be, before it became preachy and sanctimonious and unwatchable.

All 3 "Deadpool" movies have been good; and go well with beer. I recommend it, heartily.

Ryan Reynolds may be the devil, but he's in good company.

:D :D :D out of :D :D :D :D

only complaint is it gets a little long, even though it's short for a Marvel movie. Could've been like 98 minutes, but it's over 2 hours.

My 8th-grader wants to see it. Can I take him? He said he's heard all the profanity at school.

I have tickets for tomorrow.

I am putting this on a pedestal with The Dark Knight, I hope it does not disappoint.

Yeah it’s not anything more egregious than a school bus.

Really looking forward to this. Saw Michael Phillips of the Trib gave it only one star, which is a bit concerning since he liked the first two movies.

I thought it was fun, and i’m not sure what else a deadpool movie should be.

Critics pretty down on it overall. My son says that’s because critics don’t like having fun. He also said it has the second highest ‘fan’ score ever on rotten tomatoes, for whatever that’s worth

Also, i would like to add that i really hate the whole “multiverse” thing, as a general idea. It’s just boring.

It has been out 3 days and already has eclipsed the budget.

Saw it tonight with the +1 and loved it. The violence is gratuitous but fun. They spend what I think is a lot more time showing the marquee names duking it out instead of Deadpool merking a bunch of faceless bad guys (though there's a good bit of that too, and it's funny). I don't remember how much time Reynolds spent on screen as Wade Wilson in the second one, but most every minute in this one is pretty funny.

Though, the self-referential humor and meta jokes are usually hilarious throughout, I think they might have bordered on going to that well too often, and maybe the overall plot was a little too grandiose for a smaller Marvel movie.

Cameos and callbacks were fantastic, probably done the best of all the Deadpool movies. I couldn't tell for sure, but I think at some point I think Matthew McConaughey makes an "appearance".

I agree with most of this.


I really liked the opening dance/fight number.


I think we can all see why the Gambit movie was never made. Good god that would of been terrible watching for an hour and a half...

Thought it was ok, not great. Missed the Weasel character.

Protesting seeing it because it knocked Twisters out of the 4DX theaters.

It was more “Sensible Chuckle: The Movie” than funny, but still good.

It's a fun watch. The writing is inane and Reynolds becomes tedious. Still, I had a good time, which is a much better experience than I can say for most of the movies in whatever phase of the MCU we are in.

grab a tub of popcorn and enjoy yourself for a couple of hours.
