When I first watched it, I found Seth Rogan's character to be insanely bumbling and annoying. I kept thinking, "He's the studio head and should know better than to be so distracting on set." But then I realized his passion for making great movies got the best of him. That wasn't what this episode was all about.
The true magic of this episode completely eluded me until I read the reviews. The premise is that they are on set to watch a "Oner." This is where a single camera shot records a very long scene. What I utterly failed to miss was this entire episode was a Oner!!!
I can only imagine the amount of planning and rehearsing that went into filming this episode. Watch it twice. Watch it three times. Every time the camera turns to focus on someone else, you know those other actors are now prepping for the next scene. Also, just maneuvering the camera from the initial car to the entire house shot and then back to the car must have been a logistical nightmare. The camera goes inside and outside from room to room. Everyone had to be ready and in place for this continuous cut to work until the very end when they drove away.
Speaking of driving the car - it's a bookend!
Brilliant television!!!

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.
