The love that Ryan Reynolds has for Deadpool and just about EVERY other character from the MCU is practically visible from the moon. You can't help but admire the guy for bringing this ensemble together (if you've seen the movie, YOU know).
Both fights between the two main heroes are bloody fun and the final multiverse-ignighted fight on the street with that one cool track shot that just wouldn't end ... oh man, that's just stuff of legends. Not to mention the cameos. Just perfection, chef's kiss.
What I didn't get so much is an emotional involvement with the story. The expose scenes raced by in a blink and you'll miss it sort of way. So much was going on ALL THE TIME that I stopped caring about the why and the how. Despite seeing "Loki" I found the TVA plotline far too elaborate to comprehend in the first view. Which is all both a compliment to the movie's highly economic editors as well as a complaint that the TVA plotline just doesn't make sense to every geek over 40.
The soundtrack was the weakest part of the movie. For some reason most of the song drops made me cringe, but not in a good way.
That, and Ryan Reynolds breaking the 4th wall every 5 minutes. It was overused and it consequently got old. But they man is charming as all heck and I can't blame him for trying so, SO hard to please us, the fans. In fact, it's commendable. And he pulled ALL the stops he could get his creative hands on. And he gave Wolverine one last movie to slay. HARD! Kudos!

Like with "Top Gun: Maverick", some witchcraftery was undoubtedly used to shift a thin, generic story into considerably more poignant, refreshing, even warranted territory.
I loved "The Fall Guy" for what it is! A fun, feel-good blockbuster that knows exactly what it wants to accomplish...and does so in tremendous style that feels as peak Hollywood as a movie can get.
Also, it's a much-needed and endearing homage to stunt performers and the tremendous(ly overlooked) value they bring.
The movie doesn't miss a beat, it looks gorgeous (the production value is top notch), Gosling's as charming as ever, and the ending felt so deserved and satisfactory that it brought a big grin on my face.
What more could I possibly want 😁
