What a crazy blast ! Bonkers !!
Sooo !... What I can say about this movie is that they (the whole team behind the movie) never hesitated a second to go all in, with everything they have in stores, throwing the kitchen sink in there and everything else.
What's to love is how highly satisfying the movie is from the very first to the very last second, when it comes to all the little (or not so little) winks at the audience, especially if you connect with the characters and their previous iterations...
But what you can really appreciate and which makes the entire movie (and scenes / story bits) more enjoyable is the whole emotional layer of it and really fun connections that occur (the come-back or introduction of various characters was so well done and really great to see) ...
These guys clearly know what they are doing.
Between the one-liners and the endless flow of jokes... The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman knocks it out of the park !
It is so overflowingly cray-cray and the frame is oh so overfilled with stuffs...
Oh, and the tone of the movie is something else !
The intro sequence is a masterpiece... The "corridor" type of fight scene (that's in fact in a street) around the end the movie, it's just...a banquet of madness.
Plus, the soundtrack is -like in the previous movies- super satisfying.
I am quite excited for what there is to come next in the MCU and for these characters we've seen in this movie...

Alright, here's an extended review of "Deadpool 3":
"Deadpool 3 was an unexpected disappointment, falling far short of the franchise's earlier successes. The humor, which has always been Deadpool's most defining and entertaining quality, was sorely lacking in this latest installment. In previous movies, the jokes were sharp, irreverent, and perfectly timed, but in Deadpool 3, they felt forced and uninspired. It was as if the writers were trying too hard to recreate the magic of the first two films, but instead ended up with a series of awkward and unfunny moments that did not land.
Moreover, one of the most glaring issues with Deadpool 3 was the absurd amount of cameos. Cameos can be a fun and exciting surprise when used sparingly, but this movie took it to a ridiculous level. The sheer volume of them turned what could have been enjoyable Easter eggs into a frustrating distraction. Each new appearance pulled me further out of the story, making it difficult to stay engaged with the main plot. It seemed like the filmmakers were more interested in showcasing a parade of guest stars than focusing on a coherent and compelling narrative.
The overreliance on cameos also highlighted another problem: the lack of a strong, central story. In previous Deadpool films, the balance between character development, humor, and action was spot on. Deadpool 3, however, struggled to find its footing, often feeling like a disjointed series of skits rather than a cohesive story. This was particularly evident in the pacing, which was uneven and, at times, downright sluggish. Just when I thought the plot was finally gaining momentum, another cameo or a poorly executed joke would derail it.
Character development also took a hit in this film. The charm of the Deadpool character lies in his complexity and depth, but in this installment, he came off as a caricature of his former self. The nuances that made him such a compelling anti-hero were overshadowed by an overemphasis on crude humor and unnecessary antics. This was a real shame, as Ryan Reynolds has consistently brought a unique blend of wit and emotional depth to the role, but even his talents couldn't save the floundering script.
Additionally, the supporting characters, who had been so integral to the storylines of the previous movies, were underutilized and poorly written. Their interactions with Deadpool felt superficial, lacking the meaningful connections that had previously added layers to the narrative. The new characters introduced in this film failed to leave a lasting impression, making their presence feel like an afterthought rather than a carefully crafted addition to the Deadpool universe.
The action sequences, usually a high point in Deadpool films, were another letdown. They lacked the creativity and excitement that fans have come to expect. Instead of thrilling, well-choreographed fights, we were given generic and forgettable scenes that did little to elevate the overall experience. The visual effects, too, were inconsistent, with some moments looking surprisingly subpar for a movie of this budget and scale.
In conclusion, Deadpool 3 was a frustrating experience that failed to capture the essence of what made the first two films so special. The forced humor, excessive cameos, weak storyline, and lackluster action sequences all contributed to a movie that felt more like a cash grab than a genuine continuation of the beloved franchise. Fans of the Merc with a Mouth deserved better, and it's disappointing to see such a promising series take such a significant misstep."

It was painful to watch this movie at times. While Deadpool is known for his crude, foul language, this movie went overkill.
With all the jokes made in prior movies and trailers, this movie showed up with an almost empty tank of gas. The plot was simply dumb and didn't do much for the Deadpool franchise. Most of the humor was the same formula. After a while it felt like a funny comedian telling the same joke but in a different style over and over and over again. It got old.
There were some fun scenes, but for the first time in a Deadpool movie, there were many parts where I simply lost interest and checked my watch.
They probably should have taken the wins from the first two Deadpool movies and left it at that--and I would have been 100% ok with it.
Not worth the movie ticket, but good enough when it goes digital.

We saw this at the midnight premiere in imperial Copenhagen, it was a fun experience meeting people in the middle of the night for a new movie, and assembling fans who enjoy this franchise as much as ourselves.
The movie in its entirety was very enjoyable, but it seemed like they just had to come up with something for the fun of it. Don't get me wrong, Ryan Reynolds does a phenomenal job, and the some scenes are just way to hilarious. But it lacked something which i somehow can't explain, it just seemed like they could have come up with a better story imo. But what do I know?
I say go for it, and at least you end up laughing.

I enjoyed the first two Deadpool movies a lot, with the first being my favorite. I found DP3 less successful, mainly due to the weaker story. In the first two films, I felt they had a nice balance of humor, action, and story. Both of those movies had serious themes that drove Deadpool through the film. But this third one? The stakes just didn't seem that high. I wasn't the least bit invested in seeing DP and Wolverine succeed. That tension and hope were missing from this third film.
I think I wasn't as engaged due to the endless breaking of the fourth wall. This was done in the first two movies, but not to the extent it happens here. It seems like every 5 minutes, someone turns and looks into the camera to make a joke. Many of the jokes are about Fox, Marvel, and Disney. A few are fine, but there are so many that you get yanked out of the story.
The trash-talking was also dialed up to an eleven. It's almost like the writers felt they had to do a lot more wall-breaking and tasteless swearing to go beyond the past two films.
There are a lot of positives, however. The character cameos are fantastic. I constantly found myself saying "wow" everytime someone new came on screen. Kudos to Reynolds and everyone for getting so many great characters from the past to be included in this movie.
I also found the fight scenes and VFX to be excellent. The movie has a lot of great action. Although there were too many jokes, I have to admit I had many LOL moments.
If you loved the first two DP movies, you will most likely enjoy this latest installment. For me, the fourth-wall breaks and crass humor diminished what could have been a stronger core story.

He then said he regretted that statement after watching the first Deadpool (2016) and expressed to Ryan his interest in the two characters meeting on the big screen. When asked why he chose to return for this film, he simply said, "I just wanted to do it, and I felt it in my gut", adding that he wanted to have the best possible time ever on a movie set together with Ryan Reynolds. Likewise, Reynolds wanted to work alongside Jackman since the first Deadpool film and was saddened when he (Jackman) retired from the role.
