At last, my Schedule freed up to see this one.
I avoided ALMOST all of the SPOILERS to boot.
I'll spare you them as well as I discuss...
The Good
* The Film has a big, fun Plot involving our Heroes, the fate of a whole Universe and some nice, personal stakes/drama to ground it.
* Reynolds gets lots of time to shine as Deadpool here, thanks to a Variant (or 3). Beyond just the humor, Wade is given a personal redemption arc.
* Hugh Jackman is great in what may/may not be his final time as Wolverine. He plays extra grumpy here, really commits to the physicality of it all and also gets a nice redemption arc.
* The choice of Villain is inspired as well, giving us a twisted, but also fun Character with no Fox baggage to weigh them down.
* The Film is chock full of in-jokes (like Liefeld's Just Feet), visual gags and just plain Fan Service. I'm a fan, so no complaining.
* There are lots of great Cameos. If you're interested, see the Film before any/all of them get SPOILed.
The Bad
* This is an R-Rated Film and it sure is a hard R. So don't go in expecting 'light violence' or 'a little bit of swearing.'
* Some missing Characters is a disappointment. I don't know if it was Scheduling or what.
* With all of the actual Cameos, it is a shame to see that some of them are just Stuntmen/Other Actors playing the part (like X-TLS Juggernaut or The Russian).
Was Kevin Nash really too busy?!?
In summary, the Film is big, funny, violent and great. If you're up for this kind of hard-R Film and love/hate the Fox Films, this is for you!
