Paid Members FLips Posted July 27 Paid Members Share Posted July 27 We really enjoyed Deadpool and Wolverine. Maybe itâs easier to enjoy when you donât care about the MCU or what critics think. Itâs gory, stupid and full of âlook how confusing and abundant this MCU shit isâ jokes which I guess is funnier to people who havenât put 2000 hours into watching all the films and spinoffs. Similarly because we had no stakes in any of the MCU we found the cameos and the desecration of Wolverineâs legacy much funnier than someone who thought Logan was cinema and talks about Ant Man films like theyâre art. Maybe weâre just not as miserable as others because we popped hard at Spoiler Blade, and Channing Tatumâs deliberately shit Gambit. Good fun. If you like Deadpool 1 and 2 youâll like this. If you went to see a Deadpool film and was disappointed at how self referential and fourth wall breaking it was then I dunno what to say, go watch Winter Soldier or one of the other ones that are meant to be good.

Spoiler Channing Tatum played Gambit as he was originally supposed to as far as I can tell which was similar to the 92 version. But itâs funny because I donât consider myself miserable, I donât consider Ant-Man high art and donât care what critics think. But I would like to think the film could have learned from the first 2 Deadpool movies (1st was great, the 2nd was the same as the 1st but less interesting and funny) and you know, made some different jokes or actually had a cohesive storyline. Still the opening was one of the best of the MCU and the soundtrack was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 27 Paid Members Share Posted July 27 I think Deadpool is very much from the school of "if it's still making money why mess with the formula." they know what people want from the movies and they give it to them. Two hours of stupid jokes, the fourth wall getting broken and taking the piss out of Disney, plus an action sequence or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted July 27 Paid Members Share Posted July 27 I donât think this idea that Deadpool 3 is offensive to the sickos holds much weight. It has a 97% audience score on Rottentomatoes. If a nerdy property like this had triggered the worst people on the internet it would have been heavily Review bombed by now.  I thought Logan was great and, for my sins, have watched the vast majority of the MCU stuff and various spin offs (though I have skipped a good amount of the phase 4 dreck) but I still had a lot of fun watching Deadpool and Wolverine. If anything it helped more of the jokes land for me, particularly their acknowledgment of the aforementioned dreck. Itâs definitely possible to be an MCU pervert and enjoy Deadpool 3. It seems most of them have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I do like the consistency on here of people telling you they donât like something and they think itâs crap before telling you they still watched the thing. Wrestling fans gonna wrestle fan. The Marvel stuff does rarely elevate itself above the genre though tbf, (at least with the film releases) which is fine because itâs mostly for kids anyway but the Spiderverses and Logan did a pretty good job. I think Logan less so but it still felt like you were watching something a bit more meaningful than the usual cape film. The ripping off of the western ageing gunslinger formula helped as did not being made under the watchful cookie cutter eye of Disney.

Wrestling fans gonna wrestle fan. I watch all the Marvel films (yeah yeah) and the only ones I found disappointing in this last few years were Quantumania and this one. I even paid the difference to see it in IMAX because of course if a film is going to be shit I want to make sure I see it in expensive style. As a fan of the first Deadpool and as a fan of Hugh Jackmanâs Wolverine why would I not go into this one hoping for the best? The only time Iâve ever gone into a film, knowing itâs going to be awful was Madame Web, and that was to see how bad it was (very as it turned out), otherwise who makes a habit of wasting time and money watching a film they know they wonât like?  @JLMyouâre correct, most of the bigger Marvel content creators love it, and at the end of the day as long as the film makes money, itâs all irrelevant, just opinions. Edited July 27 by Hannibal Scorch Sandwich Bacon?

Joe Blog Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Just back from Deadpool and Wolverine, put me firmly in the âthoroughly enjoyed itâ camp. The cameos were good/great, Jackman was in my opinion excellent and the references etc made me laugh out loud. If you like Marvel/Deadpool/Wolverine you will no doubt enjoy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members waters44 Posted July 28 Paid Members Share Posted July 28 I knew Marvel were getting desperate when they got the Russoâs back to direct but fucking hell itâs worse than I thought At least they popped Hall H or whatever it is, good for them The run to Avengers Endgame was unbelievably good. We were so lucky to have that. But since then itâs been on a downward trajectory which is getting steeper and steeper. Itâs really sad. And now we have this. I can already hear it now - âDoom is a variant of Iron Man, omg!â Or âheâs from this timelineâ or âcanât believe we are in that multiverse now!â. Urghhhh I hate it! Nuke the whole thing. Start again with Fantastic Four and X-Men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Marvel films still open with the "flicking through comics" style intro? All Caps playing over that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be like your mam putting down a mystery dinner in front of you as a kid, and you guessing porridge just before it's revealed as your favourite chippy tea.
