I'm kinda torn. The first fight scene was so awkward that i almost turned it off again. Then it got a bit more interesting, but the jokes were hit or miss. The story was kinda awkward, not horrible, not great. Deadpool and wolverine repeatedly fighting each other got kinda boring, but they keep insisting that's what the people are here to see, so okay i guess. I also have to mention that i haven't seen a single trailer, promotional material leak or anything at all. So everything was a surprise for me, and probably the thing that tipped the scale for me. But it's not a masterpiece or anything, but hopefully it paves the way for better r rated movies, or it will crash and burn and they use it to just make r rated movies for the hell of it. Who knows 5/10

I didn't see any trailers or promo-material either, so I was spoiler-free too. Perhaps I went in with higher expectations? But reading your recount of the movie did make me realise why it probably fell so flat: there were little to no stand-out moments. I have a hard time piecing the movie's full timeline together only days after viewing it, because so little actually mattered to the movie's plot. A movie without peaks can only let you down I guess.

Hopefully they'll improve with future movies.
