Gave it a 6. It was pretty disappointing.

3/10 - really bad.

C+.

The script sounded so cheesey and cliche (though it got better towards the end). The CGI was terrible. The production looked cheap. This movie makes me cringe.

[The Morningstar]

This film truly was one of the biggest wastes of potential ever. Great character with a great back story. Amazing talent in front and behind the camera.

And this is what we got? Get the **** outta here.

Loved Emma Frost in this. This moving got me thinking when Jimmy/Logan/Wolverine got his claws out and sparked the pebbles when Agent1 or whoever was in the helicopter, well in that scene I thought, the dirt/blood on his claws goes back into his skin. Anyway I don't know where I'm going with this, but that's why I signed up if there was anything about that.

Just watched it again for the first time since it was released.

No idea why it gets so much hate. Sure there were a few things that could have been better (bit longer, some poor effects and most of all the "real" Deadpool) but that aside i can't fault it.

Great story, really good action scenes, nice soundtrack. Great acting too, especially from Jackman and Schreiber. The Blob was done really well, never thought they would be able to pull him off. Kitsch was ok as Gambit, would have been better if he perfected the accent. Schreiber was as close to Sabretooth as we'll ever get. Just compare him to Tyler Mane in X-Men 1!

I would have liked another half an hour dealing with Weapon X backstory. If they had done that and gotten Deadpool right this would have been up there with Avengers and Iron Man for me.

Only problems I have with the film are:

- some of the cgi is horrible
- what they did to deadpool
- film needed more tension

But overall its nowhere near as bad as people make out. To be honest I even enjoy X3 for what it is too, its definitely fun.

[Picard Sisko]

I just watched this movie again a few days ago, and its okay. It has bad effects, a poorly written script, bad editing, and tons of wasted characters whose only purpose was to make an appearance. Although I hate what they did to Deadpool, I really enjoyed the fight between him and Wolverine at the end of the film. I actually felt horrible for what Stryker did to him, and it sent chills down my spine when Wolverine says, "I see they found a way to shut you up." The movie has too many continuity errors, and felt like it should have been a straight-to-dvd movie.

I give it a 6/10

Dud out of *****

An absolute abomination on every level.

Braindead, illogical script

piss poor, blunt-as-a-shovel-to-the-face storytelling

ridiculously bad cliches done ad nauseum

raping of physics

hilarious, bottom-of-the-barrel special effects

pointless over-stuffing of useless peripheral characters for the sake of fan service

terrible acting

pointless, headache-inducing slapstick.

I'm not even going to bother with the whole "killing off Deadpool's trademark" complaint, but I will ask this...

What was the purpose of sealing off his mouth in the first place? Did they not have any mutants who had a power that was used through the mouth? If they had control of Deadpool, why couldn't they just prevent him from talking? It just seems like a flimsy excuse to remove his most notable asset because the producers, allegedly, think that a talking Deadpool wouldn't make a good villain.

Crap as a Wolverine film, crap as a connection to the established film series' continuity, and just a terrible film in general.
