“Deadpool & Wolverine” Discussion Thread (with spoilers)

Unless Ryan as Deadpool blows Hugh or Rob Delaney, I have no fucks to give.

R1 you watch too much porn.

Wolferine.

OP did you feel that the amount of showbiz references would annoy flyover country?

It seems like the kind of movie WME agent trainees named Josh would come up with if you locked them in a room and forced them to write a superhero movie.

Number.

Some cameos

Jon Favreau as Happy

Henry Cavill as an alt-universe Wolverine

Chris Evans as Johnny Storm (not Caps)

Tyler Mane as Sabretooth

Ray Park as Toad

Aaron Stanford as Pyro

Wesley Snipes as Blade

Jennifer Garner as Elektra

Channing Tatum as Gambit

Dafne Keen as Laura (X23)

Jason Flemyng as Azazel

PS Channing Tatum was cast to lead the Gambit movie in 2014. It never came to be so it’s cool he was able to play the character in this. Most probably don’t remember when he was cast a decade ago so the joke will go over their head.

Another article about it from May 2014

And over the past couple of years he’s been speaking about that movie falling through and how it devastated him. But it’s cool he’s finally Gambit in this.

Even if OP's assessment is dead on, the movie will still make a (relative) ton of $$$.

R12 it made over $30 million just today, the highest ever for an R rated film.

I went to see it in Burbank. I haven’t seen the theater this full since Barbie and Oppenheimer last year. It made me happy to see a full theater and lines again. Idk why.

As for the movie, I agree that it was entertaining but kind of stupid at the same time. I see critics praising it and people watching it are claiming it is the best Deadpool movie but I do not agree. It didn’t feel like the first two movies at all and felt longer than it needed to be. The one liner after one liner for a whole 2 1/2 hours was a bit ridiculous. The first two knew how to be serious when needed and incorporate jokes well, this one just kept going for joke after joke after joke nonstop, back to back. Deadpool wasn’t serious ever in this. Jackman’s Wolverine had to do the heavy lifting here, and his performance is probably the best he’s given us as Wolverine (he is playing a Wolverine from an alt universe where he isn’t the hero he is in the Fox universe). There is a scene where he’s speaking to X-23 and she’s telling him he reminds her of her Wolverine and it’s a sweet moment. Also, the scene where he explains why he’s hated in his universe was wonderful, only for Deadpool to drop a one liner again.

The film felt like fan-service, with tons of cameos and references to pop culture, and tons of breaking the 4th wall. That’s probably why so many love it, they eat up the fan service. I don’t like that though. However, it was worth the watch because it is mostly entertaining but a bit fucking annoying at times. The over the top fan service feels patronizing to me. I mean, he even brought back his dead girlfriend from the dead. 🙄

Oh, and Emma Corrin does a great job but her villain never feels like a true threat. Only time she feels threatening is when they first meet her. After that she is in on the one liners too.

Fantastic! Funny, great action and so much heart. The best “Deadpool” movie by far and the best comic-book movie I’ve seen since “The Winter Soldier.”

The most animated crowd I’ve experienced in years. So much fun!

Will definitely see it again.

I see fat people.

This. Sorry but the movie just feels like a big joke. I don’t get how people are watching it and loving it.

I didn't like it at all. Mayhem on steroids. A gore-fest. F-bombs didn't make it any better. The one big cameo almost made up for all the deficits, Almost.

Who is the "one big cameo"?

Gotta give a bitch credit...

Jennifer Garner not only looked fantastic, she was sexy as hell. The Affleck joke landed perfectly.

Excellent use of pop songs all throughout the film. Bye, Bye Bye; Iris; Like A Prayer; You're The One That I Want...

Cavillrine was sexy as fuck!

Twitter spoiled Cavill's and Evans' cameos for me, but I didn't realize Evans was reprising Johnny Storm. That was a very cool moment.

We need a Deadpool/Spiderman movie - worth it to watch Holland and Reynolds flirt with each other during all the promos.

No. Holland is annoying

It was fantastic. So much energy and fun.

Channing Tatum, however, sounded like he was playing Clairee in a local playhouse production of “Steel Magnolias.”

He is just irredeemable as a performer.

Promo!

That was the joke: that Deadpool couldn't understand Gambit's Cajun accent.

Broke records!

It was Fan Service: The Movie, but I did have a good time with it. I went in without being spoiled on any cameo, besides Laura/X-23, so seeing Chris Evans, Jennifer Garner, and Wesley Snipes again, along with Channing Tatum finally playing Gambit, were all great surprises. I'm shocked Wesley agreed to do it, since he and Ryan hated each other on "Blade: Trinity." The humor got annoying as hell, and the movie kind of runs out of steam for a bit in the middle. But the Wolverine story arc has Hugh's best performance as the character -- yes, even better than "Logan." Seeing the classic Wolverine costume on screen was wild; the mask looks more aggressive than I anticipated.

Loved it!!

Just a good time at the movies. Can’t actually remember the last time I was in a theater. 🤔

It needs to be seen again to catch all the stuff I missed whilst laughing so hard. I loved that Laura was back.

We have to wait till February to see the new Captain America in action. Plus, Harrison Ford! 🤗

You've never really seen a Deadpool movie, have you? Humor is that character's whole thing.

I thought it was as bad as the rest of the recent Marvel offerings, and for the same reasons, to be honest. Found it to be pretty boring convoluted mess, writing and plot wise, I was scrolling on my tablet about midway through (I pirated it and watched it at home). I did like the performances of the actors who portrayed Paradox and Cassandra Nova (? I think that was her name), and Chris Evan's (re)turn as Johnny Storm. For all the fourth wall transgressive humor, I didn't find it very funny, or clever, especially compared with the first in the series. I'm curious how people will view it in a year. I realize I'm very in the minority in these views, at least for now

You know who Emma Corrin is on other threads but don’t know her name suddenly here?

I'm not into them being a not a teen boy.

This was one of the 20 worst movies I’ve ever seen. Just aggressive and unrelenting in its unfunny stupidity.

The weirdest thing for me is that it's supposed to be vaguely sexy, and it just isn't.

Who said it’s supposed to be sexy?

The screenwriters who made the pegging jokes?

That wasn’t meant to be sexy though…

Are these two Marys any good in this film?

Jackman shows a bit more, acting-wise than Reynolds.

He’s the straight man to Reynolds’ antics and one-liners.

So you’re a thief who watched an illegal copy of a film of dubious video and sound quality on a tiny tablet..

Suddenly, your opinion is meaningless.

I’m very late to this party, had heard about the first two “Deadpool” movies but never saw them. Thought this movie was very funny and entertaining. No plot to speak of, confusing, tons of fan service, some of which I got, some I did not. It was dumb and made no sense whatever.

Yet I thoroughly enjoyed it. Reminded me of the old Hope and Crosby movies I watched as a kid where they continually broke the fourth wall, throwing comic lines to the movie audience and referencing the Paramount studio that made their movies. (Yeah, I know, I’m old).

The thing that surprised me was how gay it seemed, lots of gay-baiting anyway, and Ryan Reynolds sounds as gay as a goose with his drawling line readings. Thought he was the MVP for sure, though the emoting and sincerity was left to Hugh Jackman. Though it was interesting that outtakes from their earlier movies played alongside the end credits. Retnolds and Jackman looked like babies in the dull bloom of their youthful hotness. Surprised they went alon with that — though both are in great shape for their respective ages (47 and 55) they are clearly not the gorgeous youngsters they were.

So many inside gay jokes. The look of love between those two.

Why are you shocked? Deadpool isn’t a straight character. He is gender-blind so he fucks anything with a pulse. This isn’t new.

It was new to me.

Solid film. Deadpool has always been sexually fluid.

No gay-baiting detected.

Loved the jab at Rob Liefield who is the co-creator of Deadpool and Cable in the comics. He has been called out for years for his inability to draw feet in comics. His drawing style is huge detail for head and shoulders tapering down to pointy nothing feet.

The last fight scene had Deadpool and Wolverine standing in front of a smashed up store, Liefield’s Foot Store.

Jennifer Garner driving the crew to save the day in a mini-van made me LOL. Silly fun summer movie. No more no less.

Then people should stop speaking of it like it’s more.

It was filthy. I loved it.

I thought it sucked.

Saw this today and it wasn't a bad film and there were some good bits but there was just too much Ryan Reynolds. Way too much Ryan Reynolds.

Things really improved with Jackman and cameos, some of which were spoiled, some of which came as pleasant surprises.

Matthew Macfadyen was fantastic and reminded me of Alan Rickman with the camp overacting but Emma Corrin was just blah. The "flicking my bean to an Enya box set" line could have been written by a Datalounger, but she just felt flat.

Oh and Leslie Uggams was fantastic.

Did anyone expect LESS Ryan Reynolds (the third time around)?

No, but the constant level of running commentary was just too much. A Deadpool movie with a lot less Deadpool would have been better.

I loved it. I loved the homoerotic parts, the cameos, the jokes. I loved when DP said (twice) that Disney was going to make Hugh do this part until he's 90. I couldn't remember the Loki references, and never saw Electra or Blade, but enjoyed them nonetheless.

R56 McFayden doesn’t even do anything. What a loser you are lmao
