Just a joy to watch from start to finish. Really paid homage to Dylan’s music. Didn’t disappoint fans with the music element. Chalamet does an excellent job. Really gets into the full persona and makes you forget it’s him.

Visually really nice and the storyline was well developed (despite walking the line of cliché with the miracle child trope). Som great acting as well. Really decent filem.

Distinctly average. Probably not even that good actually. For me Marvel either needs to commit to extending existing storylines or character development  (that won’t make a lot of sense to new fans) or create something new and unapologetically push boundaries (like Guardians of the Galaxy). This just did neither. Introduced red hulk but did it in a pretty inconsequential way. I feel like the film was just a placeholder. The CGI generally seemed off and looked cringey. One positive is I did enjoy the big fight sequence between Sam and Ross. The choreography was done pretty nicely and it brought back the intensity and strength from The Incredible Hulk that has been lacking under Ruffalo’s depiction.

A brilliant portrayal of human emotion, conflict and crises. Stunning performances and excellent writing. Does more with 12 people in one room than modern Hollywood blockbusters achieve with huge budgets, actions scenes and special effects.

Liked the premise. Not so much the execution.

Shocking. Moving.

Enjoyed it. Good tension throughout, captivating and held up by some great performances by the cast.

I don’t doing that.

Good concept and build up but I just feel the film doesn’t deliver at the end and doesn’t fulfil its potential. Bruce Willis’ silent type persona slowed the film down too much in my opinion and the lack of dialogue was more frustrating most of the time rather than built tension.

I don’t even what happened…

Brilliantly funny. Unadulterated (surprised Marvel didn’t pull any punches and were true to the character). Really enjoyed the cameos. Thought the script was great and was none-stop laughs (will need a second viewing to decide if they hold up upon rewatch). To be honest I didn’t care much for Cassandra Nova or Alioth (again) but the humour and action held enough of my attention to not worry about the antagonists. The depth of plot is lacking but I don’t think that’s what the film is intended for (at least I wasn’t looking for it), as a quintessential Deadpool film it gave me everything I wanted.

The reality is the craziest bit.

Often felt weird for the sake of being weird. First 2/3 is too slow, does pick up in the final 1/3 and the humour improves. I enjoyed the cinematography.

Exceptional
