Honestly, I thought this movie was kinda terrible. Sure, I did enjoy some of the cameos, but I thought the jokes were a bit repetitive and felt overused about 30-45 minutes in. There was also barely any semblance of a plot. The only real plot development was adding the letter S in front of “He’s going to destroy the universe”. That’s just not good enough to keep a movie interesting.
The fight scenes were pretty bland. The extensive use of slow-motion, bad cgi and most fight scenes being bad music videos made the movie feel incredibly drawn out and slow, which is killing for a movie relying on fast-paced jokes to keep the audience entertained. Watching a couple minutes of slow motion, 4th-wall breaking narration followed up by the same joke they’ve already done twice before got old quickly.
I got bored a third of the way through. The movie is also going to age poorly as a lot of jokes won’t be relevant anymore in the future. The TVA was wasted, most actors reprising their roles had disappointingly little screentime. I liked the concept, but it was just… such a letdown to me.
I have little positive to say about it. Jackman was fun to watch, considerably more fun than Reynolds. Chris Evans as the Human Torch was fun, but he barely had any action and got killed very quickly. Then there were a couple others that just “showed up”, basically unaltered from the originals with no real explanation as to why the TVA pruned them or what’s unique about them.
Maybe the Deadpool movies are just a miss for me, seeing as other people do enjoy it. To me, it was a 4/10, just a continuation of the latest string of bad Marvel movies. Thinking about it, I think I even enjoyed Quantumania more than this one.
I’m kinda torn. The first fight scene was so awkward that i almost turned it off again. Then it got a bit more interesting, but the jokes were hit or miss. The story was kinda awkward, not horrible, not great. Deadpool and wolverine repeatedly fighting each other got kinda boring, but they keep insisting that’s what the people are here to see, so okay i guess. I also have to mention that i haven’t seen a single trailer, promotional material leak or anything at all. So everything was a surprise for me, and probably the thing that tipped the scale for me.
But it’s not a masterpiece or anything, but hopefully it paves the way for better r rated movies, or it will crash and burn and they use it to just make r rated movies for the hell of it. Who knows 5/10
I didn’t see any trailers or promo-material either, so I was spoiler-free too. Perhaps I went in with higher expectations? But reading your recount of the movie did make me realise why it probably fell so flat: there were little to no stand-out moments. I have a hard time piecing the movie’s full timeline together only days after viewing it, because so little actually mattered to the movie’s plot. A movie without peaks can only let you down I guess.

Hopefully they’ll improve with future movies.
