For the first time in a loooooong time I bought presale movie tickets. Deadpool & Wolverine next Thursday. Can’t remember the last time I was this stoked to see a movie in theatres.

I think that movie is going to make a LOT of money.

I hope when the next Dune comes out, they show the first 2 again. Getting to see the first one before seeing number 2 was awesome.

As someone who loved the original (though haven't watched it since the 80's) this looks...not very good. Hopefully better than the trailer indicates.

Damn, I thought Deadpool tickets would be hard to get, but the theater was half empty Saturday at 1230pm

Deadpool & Wolverine review embargo lifted. Getting polarized reviews. I see very few mehs. They seem to be extremely positive or overwhelmingly negative. Not sure what to think. Oh well. Should be fun either way.

Usually some personalities out there just trying to get noticed by swimming against the current.

I have a feeling this ones going to set things back on track for the MCU. This followed up by Brave New World looks to be a good one two punch with just enough time between films to actually build some hype.

Is there anything Batman can't do? He even helped defeat the evil Oilers

Deadpool and Wolverine is a lot of fun. If you enjoyed the first two you'll like this one. Lots of Easter Eggs for comic and movie fans and a surprising amount of heart.

Yeah it was pretty good. Anyone who watches it and hates comic book movies and/or Ryan Reynolds is gonna really hate it. Little weak on the story and plot but had everything else you’d want in a Deadpool and Wolverine team up. It’s funny, has great cameos and Easter eggs and handled the multiverse much better than no way home or dr strange did, neither of which I liked all that much.

Yeah I actually had no idea it was directed by Shawn Levy until I went in. If I'd known, I never would've seen it. He's the worst director in Hollywood, I think

Why would you even go see it then? Just to hate watch it? It’s hard to believe anyone could find it much different than the first two.

I didn't mind the first two. This one felt way more like an IP circlejerk. Which is funny because there's a scene where Deadpool makes fun of the multiverse part of the MCU not working!

It was a ton of fun but I would say both 1 and 2 were better.

In the end the stakes were relatively inconsequential but you could see what they were leading into with him in the MCU

Factual self deprecation has been a big part of all the Deadpool movies, the fact that Disney still allowed it was a positive.
