Edit...
And there it is... it was cut from the theatrical release as it didn't sit well with the test audience. They put it in the Blu-ray release. I knew I didn't remember it being there.

It was there during the premiere, him in the paternity ward debating if he should kill baby Hitler then finally picking up Baby Hitler then goes off-screen

Man - critics that are panning this movie....uh...what were you expecting?

This was EXACTLY what I'd have expected from this movie. And no, it's not easy access to understand everything that's going on. There is a clear barrier to entry that spans decades and gets really meta.

There are a dozen references that go back to the mid/late 90s and fights on set (Reynolds and Snipes didn't get along in Trinity, for instance). But it's a Deadpool movie! That's the point!

I loved it. My wife, who isn't a comic book kid and didn't even know who Gambit is, liked the movie (because she's seen the Deadpool movies and the newer X-Men movies). But c'mon - this was exactly the sort of goofy, grinning at the camera, self-aware gore-fest shit you'd expect from the Ryan Reynolds Deadpool universe.

And Hugh Jackman friggen killed it. Cassandra Nova seemed like she was in the wrong movie but Jackman hit a perfect balance of serious and cheesy.

Yeah i don't get it either. It was everything it was ever meant to be. My wife said she laughed more in the first two movies. Which....thinking back on it, ok...sure, fine. Maybe they were a little funnier.

But where this movie fell short on humor (in comparison to the first two, because it was certainly not short on humor) it made up for in gorish violence and fan service.

I grew up a Gambit fan boy when it came to the X-Men universe. So of course i was freakin' excited about that. And they freakin' nailed the character too.

I friggen loved Gambit growing up.

I had to explain to my wife that Gambit can essentially charge anything and the deck of cards is essentially a magazine that he carries because he can aim them well and they're compact.

I do think that Channing Tatum is a little too bulky for the character, though (and yeah, I know the story behind him in the role; I just don't think he's right for it).

I thought they could've done more with the character. Gambit can do some cool shit; the comics really explore the space with that character really well. Whereas the movie just had him whipping playing cards.

I thought it was better than Deadpool 2, though I may have to watch that one again. I've only seen it once and remember thinking it fell well short of the first one. I was a little disappointed by it - not by this.

This was exactly what I was wanting from this movie. It did was Deadpool always does and belabors the point a bit -- every joke/bit is a couple beats too long. But again, what the hell did you expect?

To be fair, it's got a 79% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, so it's not like that's the prevailing opinion even from critics.

But that's a score that you'll see for your basic cookie cutter average MCU movie, and this was so much better than that.

I mean...he's juicing, right?

I don't care. He's not a competitive athlete and they're not strictly illegal. So it is what it is. But I don't believe for a minute that dude isn't getting quite a bit of help.

It's probably TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). He doesn’t seem to have used more extreme substances like Tren or other injectable anabolics (unlike Alan Ritchson, for example). He also likely has a whole team behind him, including chefs, trainers, and psychologists, to achieve that level of fitness. Additionally, he probably works with a bodybuilder or sport scientist to optimize his physique to achieve his peak for the shirtless scene.

Give the masses what they want and they will hand over their money. I know I have went and saw it twice. Paid almost $60 to see it opening weekend on the IMAX. Went back for a cheap Tuesday showing last week.

Yessir. Just good fun. Characters behaving like their source material inspirations while dressed in their comic book accurate outfits.

No intersectional feminism or pushing of some bullshit ESG message.

Win win.
