I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

I've given this a re-watch.

The opening credits were great.

The settings and costumes were good even if the actors weren't. If you want to see Dane DeHaan in his element, see Chronicle. Cara Delevigne ... um...

Except Clive Owen. He's a treasure. Any actor who can convincingly win a gunfight with a carrot has got the chops.

The attack over planet Mül was objectively well done and the crash scene was impressive.

It's a good bit of fun in much the same way as The Fifth Element.

Yeah that’s a good take, it’s like a modern Fifth Element.

I have seen Chronicle, but I probably need to rewatch it. Not sure if they just had bad direction or writing, but they seemed more like siblings instead of love interests.

Yeah that’s a good take, it’s like a modern Fifth Element.

Same director. I didn't see it, but I love The Fifth Element

YMMV.

Without Chris Tucker, the Fifth Element would not be the same. There's no Chris Tucker here. There's no innocent/badass Milla Jovovich either. There's Rihanna, but that scene was forced as well. The quick wit action hero is almost done well.

Really, carrying the movie, there's just two smart-ass surly 20-somethings that need to bone and get it over with. That trope is LONG dead.
