Premise looks fun, but unsure it can sustain a full movie. But, generally happy to see an attempt for a summer blockbuster, so willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Saw the trailer at the theater today. The premise definitely has potential, hope they execute it well.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and go see this. Movie of the year. Perfect cameos, great story. Awesome!

Saw it.

Liked the surprise cameo.

 

[John Price]

I was initially very wary of this film but the more I look into it the more I am excited by the concept

 

[missingmika]

Saw it.

Liked the surprise cameo.

Im assuming that only happened because of COVID and the movie being delayed. If so, it’s one positive we got from COVID

 

[Voight]

Saw it on the weekend, a lot better than I thought it'd be

 

[Hoverhand]

first half was surprisingly good, second half was surprisingly bad.

 

[Pranzo Oltranzista]

first half was surprisingly good, second half was surprisingly bad.

Agreed that it losts its charm somewhere in the middle. Still was a lot better than expected, but I thought I was going for something absolutely dumb so the bar was pretty low.

This was an incredibly fun, delight of a movie.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Yeah, liked it quite a bit. Won't rehash my review from the main ratings thread, but definitely enjoyable. Nice to get back into the theatre after all this time.

CATCHPHRASE!!

Saw it this weekend finally. Did a darn good job, lots of laughs. Some awesome cameos.

Saw this tonight with my girlfriend. First time back to a movie theater since Covid hit. Fantastic first movie to get back to a theater with. I loved the movie and she thought it was really good. An easy recommendation.

Finally saw this movie - really really enjoyed it. Ryan Reynolds has really come into his own as one of the most entertaining actors in Hollywood, I really enjoy his style.

I did think the ending could have been way better though. It's as if where they went with the story the last ~20-30minutes, all of it I wish it had gone down differently, that was a bit lame. Still, overall very entertaining

Just finished watching it on Disney+. Not just a good movie, a GREAT movie, 9/10. I Laughed really hard when I recognized Hugh Jackman's voice, the Captain America shield scene (complete with the Avengers them and Chis Evans).

 

[BertCorbeau]

Just watched it on Disney+ too .. really enjoyed it, thought it was awesome.

Love how Disney milked the rights on their content (Marvel and Star Wars)

The movie was actually made before the purchase had been completed. But Disney ok'd the use of all of that.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah just finished it.


Ending definitely fell a bit flat, but overall a thoroughly entertaining and fun movie to watch.


Agreed on the comment earlier about Ryan Reynolds as well. He has really stepped into his characters roles quite well lately and is one of my favorite actors to watch right now.

I saw this the other night with a lady friend.

I do not understand why people like this. I couldn't wait for it to be over.

There's not a lick of good humor in this thing.

The movie was actually made before the purchase had been completed. But Disney ok'd the use of all of that.

The movie was in production before the acquisition, but filming started in May 2019. The purchase was closed in March 2019.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I liked it--turn your mind of and enjoy it. Disney wants a sequel, but getting to get lightening to hit twice could be hard
