I really enjoyed it. The meta-humour felt a bit less forced than the original, and I liked how the movie was able to switch tone. That's always been the appeal of Deadpool to me--that yes, you've got the goofy jokester, but it'd get old quick if that was all there was to him. There's a tragic and oddly inspiring edge to the character in how he keeps trying to be a hero despite the fact that he's naturally terrible at it, and recognising that stops this from being the superhero equivalent of Scary Movie.

Not necessarily looking for spoilers here... but I heard everyone on X-Force dies at some point in the movie. Is that correct?

Thats a pretty big spoiler. Whoever anzwers that answer it in spoiler tags please.

I saw it and predictably loved it.

Explicit in the spoiler tags, read at your own risk:

I'm really hoping that Dopinda becomes a Major Bad.

I know nothing of the comics. Enjoyed the movie.

So...Brad Pitt is the invisible guy hinted at in the trailers?

I didn’t actually see who he was... You only get to see his face briefly and I didn’t pay close enough attention to identify the actor.

Yes it was Brad Pitt, and the two Rednecks when Cable time travels are Alan Tudyk and Matt Damon.

I enjoyed the movie alot, felt on par with the first one to me, and thats a good thing. Good humor, good action.

One of the better sequels. Not quite as great as the first movie, but my expectations were higher here.

Looking forward to 10 more years of the Deadpool Cinematic Universe.

Saw it last night... I really thought it was better than the first one.

...and LOL'ed at the 2 end credit scenes.

Just came back from it. I liked it, but didn't love it. It was a high bar to clear, though.

I saw it last night and I loved it. The jokes were bigger and crazier, and I think the comedy worked better than the first movie because this time Deadpool's madcap energy was imbued throughout the anarchic series of events we saw play out on screen. The first film was really fun, but it was basically Deadpool saying and doing some zany stuff while a fairly run of the mill superhero plot moved from scene to scene. This time Deadpool's anarchy spilled out in to everything around him, and it was glorious.

What's really impressive though, is it didn't result in a film that was just irony, or silly for the sake of silly. Despite all the anarchy it still worked as a superhero movie, better than most superhero movies. The plot moved at a good pace, they never lingered on any joke so long that the story lost momentum. The action scenes were really well done, fast and really brutal. Everyone's character motivations made perfect sense.

I honestly believe this is pretty close to a perfect realisation of the concept. People don't have to like it, of course, but if they don't it is because it isn't the kind of movie for them.

I liked the movie, especually the end credits stuff.

That said, the second half dragged a bit and got rather incoherent and messy and a bit too self-aware to maintain itself in some.places.

the drawn out death scene was a bit...too drawn out, I couldn't help but thinking of the stupid Family Guy gags they repeat where Peter falls and spends the next 90 seconds cradling his knee going "ow"

That was the point...I mean, Deadpool literally says it out loud, "why is this taking so long?".

And that was his point - it's not a funny joke if you keep doing it for too long, and they kinda did.

Again...I think that was the point. Trolling.

I guess I would say that it extended to the point that it removed my attention from the film, it interrupted the experience, which, to me, killed the gag.

Yeah, i thought that one gag went on a minute too long.

This is getting circular - we're perfectly capable of grasping the goal, but it was a moronic goal and the joke didn't land.

I thought it was great. In some ways I liked it more than the first, but overall I found the film less endearing. I think the best part of the whole movie was X-Force though. That whole bit there was just golden.

My favorite bit was

That part was also funny XD

Obviously spoilers in that video. But quite a few references he caught that I missed. The humor is way more intelligent then the low brow jokes would have you think.

Huge spoiler right there in that screenshot.

Well, it's not like you can ask someone to take the 5 seconds to shift-click-drag and click on the Spoiler tag! That's just unreasonable! You're just oppressing people and being over-sensitive! Something something millennial special snowflakes!

Ahhh! The picture changed.

It had Deadpool on the pic when I posted it/watched it.

Now it's Cable! When did youtube videos have their preview image change? Thats mad.

Saw it and loved it, as expected. Continues to boggle my mind that Deadpool got Collosus right when the X-Men franchise has done nothing remotely cool with him...ever.

This one comes out of left field.

I'm not sure why this happened, but after I watched the Domino-centric trailer with LL Cool J soundtrack, for some reason my brain has replaced that song with "Insane in the Membrane" from Cypress Hill. Maybe it's Domino's comically poofy afro that somehow got correlated in my mind with the lead rapper of Cypress Hill. I dunno. What is really odd is that it almost fits the trailer just as well as the LL Cool J song.
