I love BREWSTER MCCLOUD. I Altman said it was his favorite. Definitely requires more than one viewing. 3 WOMEN is a masterpiece. Shelly Duvall should have won an Oscar for her performance. I got to see SHORT CUTS on opening day , a lot happening there.
I think the difference between good multiverse films and bad multiverse films is difference between the way they show don't tell, same with the TV series. The Spiderman multiverse films and the Deadpool / Wolverine, and the Loki multiverse films work because things are just there without the need for long expository narrative to explain what they are. Whereas all the Marvels stuff is literally just people standing around explaining stuff to you for ages, then fighting then back to explaining. Prime example was the Wanda Stone being sued as the roof of the hideout for the Mutants at the periphery of the Void. It can block Cassandra's ability to 'see' there, same with Antman's helmet etc. Whereas ironically in Quantumania every single caharacter jsut wants to vomit exposition at every nearest protagonist until they drown in putrid nonsense. Show don't tell! The first rule of moviemaking!
Jake, you need to see Logan. It’s still the best X-Men film. Incredible performances from Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart. In many ways, Deadpool & Wolverine is a kind of sequel to it. And it was nominated for the Academy Award for Adapted Screenplay.
I agree with Jake that I liked Twisters better. This movie was a lot of fun and it's going to make oodles of cash but I found myself groaning inside the whole time at the multiverse of it all. I feel like mixing the mutant world with the marvel world is going to get really messy really fast.
The “higher up lady” from Loki aka Ravonna Renslayer is very much implied to be eaten by Alioth at the end of season 2’s finale, so it wouldn’t have made much sense if she was alive. Though the ending of this movie does imply that there is a way to bring people back even after being eaten by Alioth when B-15 (the new head of the TVA) brings Laura X-23 back to be with Logan and Wade on earth-10005. There is definitely a chance we could see her again in the future. Then again that might’ve just been another random Laura from some other timeline. Who knows.
The thing that got me was that in the middle of the end “trailer/montage”, they stoped the montage, bring in the sound again and show Keven Costner shoot his rifle for a minute, making me think that the movie is going to continue like normal again, only to go back to the montage…
I honestly can't stand this corporate desperation member berry terrorism shit anymore I still feel like I'm being pranked with the no way home reception, like there's no way -home- that movie exists and that people unironically liked it.
The movie had potential to be REALLY good. They handled bringing Wolverine back while tying in the multiverse stuff really well. The humor was on point mostly, the surprises were really good. But when you introduce some world-ending stuff or some tragic backstory, it doesn't work if you only talk about it. You need to show us something. "Show, don't tell" is really lost.
I realized what my issue with this movie and, I guess, all the previous Deadpool movies - Morena Baccarin! She is nothing but a girlfriend for Deadpool in these, she has barely a screen time in this one... She always either kidnapped, killed or dumped (I guess in this one she dumped Wade)... But, her role aside, why is there so little X-23??? Laura has maximum of 5 minutes motivational dialogue, 20 minutes action... And she is done! We only see her in the end, even tho it's her universe that's at stake here...
Don't worry Man Carried By Woman, I'm sure they're figuring out how to put together Deadpool and Wolverine and Twisters as we speak. I felt like this one actually had less heart than the other two, since the "team's" and Wolverine's motivations and resolutions weren't as fleshed out and resolved as the previous two. But there were jokes and cameos. There were. Those things. Both of them. More than once.
Am i the only one thinking that the sketches between characters were very well executed but the overall movie plot just went nowhere for 90% of it while they were stuck in the void? It's entertaining because it is carried by its characters to me, but the overall plot was a nothing burger other than deadpool and wolverine bonding Also love you guys
I watched it on release day with a packed theater and had a great time. Really enjoyed myself but I wouldn't rate it more than a 7. The story feels like an afterthought and the villain is absolutely wasted. It's stuffed to the gills with cameos and easter eggs, which I really loved btw, but they come at the expense of an engaging story. Its a very fun time and going to make a buttload of money but I hope they don't take the wrong lessons from its success.
Oh, the whole sequence of Nicepool dying had me literally in tears! and even tho it went for looong, I felt like it gave me the time I needed to just fucking laugh without having to pay attention to anything else.
I LOVED this movie, I haven't had this much fun with a Marvel movie since No way Home. Yes, a lot of the jokes are for those who've followed the behind scenes dramas and of actors and studios, and for those who've seen most if not all of the movies, specially the older ones,if that's you, you're probably gonna enjoy this movie A LOT more than if not.
saw this today. right when the film was about to start, I remembered I needed to pick up some frozen tater tots for my family on the way home, but the trailers had already ended and I hate pulling my phone out during the film, so I didn't open up my notes app to set a reminder to stop by the grocery store and felt worried I'd forget about it by the time the film ended. instead, I spent the next two hours just wishing for the film to end so I could go to the grocery store already. just constantly thinking about tater tots, even though I personally don't eat them. Matthew Macfadyen was maybe the only good thing about it, and I'm genuinely shocked I managed to stay awake the whole way through. even the handful of guys in my (thoroughly packed) IMAX who were clearly very invested in letting everyone else in the audience know how hilarious they found the same five jokes that they'd all watched on loop in the film's trailer a hundred times over to be all got tired of pretend-belly-laughing by the midway mark, and by the final act, pretty much nothing was drawing more than half-hearted chuckles from the crowd. I know the word gets tossed around a lot nowadays but this is easily one of the best examples of Marvel "slop" ever made.
I definitely laughed more than the previous 2 Deadpool films. I enjoyed it, thoroughly. My only nitpick would be the heavy exposition regarding the TVA stuff early on in the story.
I totally feel the Ryan Reynolds annoyance 😂 ironically the one film that I didn’t find him as annoying in was Six Underground by Michael Bay. Not sure why but he didn’t come nearly as annoying as he usually does in that film.
I wasn't gonna see this until I saw the first half of this video. I am definitely not the target audience for this, but I laughed often enough. Took me quite a while to get into it, and kind of floundered at the end - but altogether a solid 6/10. Someone who is more passionate about the X-Men franchise I suspect would get more out of this.
Jake was wrong about Fury Road the first time he saw it...and he's wrong about Furiosa now. Maybe he'll rewatch the movie in a year or two and realize the error of his ways.
