I watched this the other night. Mostly out of something like morbid curiosity.
Annnnndd... for what it was *trying to be*, it was very good. If you like the character of Deadpool and the irreverent comedy and meta-commentary then it does that stuff very well.
It was fun to see Blade. I have a soft spot for Wesley Snipes. And I *reallly* enjoyed Channing Tatum's Gambit as a Louisiana weirdo, that was probably my favourite thing in the film.
It didn't make me laugh but it did make me smile a lot. But it also made me roll my eyes a lot (I'm a bit tired of Ryan Reynolds' patter).
There were bits of invention. Like the extended ultra-violent fight scene in the family car.
I surprised myself by enjoying watching it. But ultimately it was hollow and left me with nothing. These Marvel films have the feel of music videos or slick adverts rather than actual films.
I think William nailed it with: There's too much production and not enough direction.
