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. [Reply]

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.

Watched this with my family last night at AMC IMAX in Northland KC. We enjoyed the heck out of it. I laughed my ass off, something rare for me at a movie theater.
My first experience with IMAX just never understood how it could be a big difference over the Dolby. My intuition was correct to sound and the picture didn't blow me away in fact really didn't see or hear much difference. My son even asked what the big deal is with IMAX. I had no answers for him other than more money. [Reply]
Finally had a chance to see this. Super funny. The plot definitely wasn't very strong. But man, the nostalgia and fan service was off the charts.
Wasn't really wild about Cassandra Nova as the main baddie. Comic version was a total ruthless bitch who would have never done anything compassionate in the slightest. If I'm remembering correctly, the only way they actually defeated her in the comics is when they gave her some kind of virus or something that actually forced her to feel empathy for others. Because she was otherwise incapable. She's basically the Magus of Xavier.
But the cameos. Wow, the cameos....
I laughed so much. Fucking Hugh Jackman nailed the part so much that I really hope they do keep him around until he's 90. The guy just chews up the Wolverine character. The grin when he's shitfaced, and Deadpool puts the gun to his head was just so classic unkillable Logan. So many tiny details that they just absolutely nailed.
The comic accurate 5'3" Logan scene... :-) As a short dude, that one hit.
Finally seeing the cowl...
Channing Tatum was OK as Gambit. Finally got to show off his awesome powers, but I still felt that it was a bit slightly off compared to what I've always anticipated the character through the comics. Maybe that's my fault.
Reynolds really nailed the Deadpool character throughout the trilogy though. He's just perfectly quirky for it.
Hopefully we'll see them both in future movies... [Reply]

For someone to do a legit Gambit they would either be French or speaks French fluently [Reply]

Additionally, he probably works with a bodybuilder or sport scientist to optimize his physique to achieve his peak for the shirtless scene.
I saw an interview where he mentioned how much he hates the diet when preparing for that role. [Reply]

I imagine to get that lean while retaining muscle as safely as possible there aren’t many carbs from grains—mostly coming from vegetables—very little salt, and just enough fat to keep his joints from getting brittle. Essentially, it’s is most likely a diet of the most bland and monotonous foods for 6-12 weeks straight. Think along the lines of baked or boiled, unsalted chicken breast, steamed or boiled broccoli, and a quarter of an avocado as a standard meal. [Reply]
