Saw it tonight. Not perfect by any means (for me a bit of a weak act 3) but I think any future superhero film that doesn't learn from Logan will be missing out.
For me the closest cinema effort so far to what Netflix are doing with superheroes on TV. This is a good thing.

Yeah, I enjoyed Daredevil season one. Season two.....was great until that courtroom drama nonsense, it really took a nosedive halfway through for me. People are telling Luke Cage is good but I haven't watched any of it.
@shermer. 😀
Went to watch it last night. Jnr came out with a cracker on leaving...

Thankfully History isn't one of his GCSEs.
Saw this yesterday - great film, funny, welll acted and gritty for a change.
Reminds me of Daredevil, Jessica Jones & Luke Cage style of superhero.
There was a nice tribute to Fawlty Towers in there.
We never got the deadpool trailer. Dissapointed! I also never saw a stan lee cameo, is he in it?
Deadpool trailer was at the start for us, didn't see Stan (he's not in all of them).

I noticed this too- much appreciated 🙂
I saw it last week, as someone who is utterly sick of all the Marvel films, this was a good departure from the norm.
It made my wife cry (then ending, not the stark realisation that I look nothing like Hugh Jackman)

Yeah, I struggle to grow a fulsome beard too.
Just back from seeing it. Bloody fanttastic proper cold film showing how ruthless he is but not without some remorse. 15 was a good call as people didn't fall to the ground with a T-shirt with bloody hooles in after being slashed with a load of blades. Laura is even darker happy to kill, hopefully be some good spin offs.
The Deadpool 2 trailer wa on before it for us but a slighty eiited version.
Saw this and thought of this thread:

It was alright. Watchable and entertaining, but not stunning.
Bit too much for one film in some ways. Watching superhero series streaming has enriched the genre to the point where making a single film and trying to be the same is becoming really rather difficult, I reckon.
I mean take original Superman, and 90s Batman. The characters were stereotypes, or even ciphers, there to make a philosophical point. Making such impossible people into gritty real ones takes a huge amount of character development, because us viewers can't draw on real life experiences.
Which is why IMO the superhero TV series genre is now streets ahead of superhero cinema. They can deal with the subject far better than ever before. Well - except comics 🙂
Loved the political points though!
Professor X seems to be channelling his inner Dr Evil in that vid.
Replace "metal" with "laser" and he's 90% of the way there!
He's also forgotten that the metal blades isn't his power and throwing Wolverine off a bridge isn't going to kill him. 😀
90s Batman
All but Batman Returns were pretty camped up over the top rubbish.
There is a whole playlist of them. Jean Grey and Magneto are the best ones.
I enjoyed it, young girl was good in it and Patrick Stewart was really good. It's a road trip film really, a really really violent one. Never a 15.
