Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

I finally watched this after ages of recommendations to see it, and I couldn’t have loved it more. Edgar Wright made such a fantastic movie out of the source material, I don’t know how it could have been better.

If you want a fun movie, this is the one to watch. I loved the grungy atmosphere, the visuals, and the ending fight. Everything was amazing.

Deadpool 2

I mean let's be real, you should know what you're getting into if you're watching DP2.  Seeing the first one is kinda must, as elements of some jokes might not make as much sense without the backstory.

That being said, the movie is incredibly standalone.  The story is rather self contained, and I feel like it might actually be leading up to something better that I had originally expected.  The minor issues I had with the first one really weren't a factor in this movie, it feels like they already found what direction to push and just how much to do it.

I was also a huge fan of the opening credits, which mimicked the James Bond style wonderfully.

I think you could honestly say this movie, outside of language, was less inappropriate than the original as well.  Worth catching if you're a fan of Superhero movies but just don't feel like watching another Avengers movie right now.

Deadpool

In honor of the new Deadpool movie being out, I'll share my original take on Deadpool from my old personal notes.

It's round about what I expected it to be.  Not being super familiar with DP as a character I didn't realize exactly what I was getting into, but it was a blast.

The sex through the holidays was kinda funny (mostly Lent), but all in all I kinda felt like a good number of jokes in that regard went a little too long or far.  I get pushing the envelope is kinda DP's thing, but still.

The story isn't as memorable as I'd like, there's a lot of scenes that don't stand out and sit in my mind as I'd prefer to have.  There's some good stuff still though, solid 8/10 I'd say.
