It’s been about 48 hours since critics hit the cinemas to watch Deadpool 2. Since then, reactions have been hitting Twitter as us normal folk patiently wait for May 18 to roll around. The general consensus is the film’s fucking awesome with one hell of a post-credit scene.
The possibilities are endless for the post-credit scene… and the waiting time just got ten times worse.
There are no spoilers in these reactions though so we’re all still in keeping with #WadeWilsonDemandsYourSisterSorryStupidAutoCorrectSilence.
Up first is IndieWire’s Kate Erbland who simply said:

Cameo, cameo, camoe, must be Hugh Jackman, must be Hugh Jackman.
Collider’s Editor-in-Chief Steven Weintraub is a definite fan:
Happy to report ‘Deadpool 2’ is a lot of fun and had me laughing beginning to end. Stuff after the credits is *awesome*. All the people added to the film were perfectly cast. Avoid spoilers. Always makes it a better experience. pic.twitter.com/4Q3Kr1ARPh

Also from Collider, Matt Goldberg tweeted his thoughts and to be honest, this could either be bad or good:

Mike Ryan, the Senior Entertainment Writer for Uproxx genuinely didn’t enjoy the first Deadpool for whatever reason that may be. Can’t say the same about the sequel though:
I didn’t like the first Deadpool. DEADPOOL 2 beat me into submission until I was actually enjoying myself. Also it features my now favorite post credit scene.
— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) May 10, 2018
Mike followed this tweet up with another saying, “I’m still legit shocked that I enjoyed this movie.” Yeah, alright mate.
Editor-in-Chief over at ScreenCrush, Matt Singer also majorly disliked the first film but was converted by Wade’s charm:
I liked DEADPOOL 2 more than the first one (which I wasn’t a huge fan of). Slow to start but all the stuff with X-Force and Cable (and Peter!) works surprisingly well.
— Matt Singer (@mattsinger) May 10, 2018
Yay for average Peter.
Journo and actor Ben Drefuss also teased the now highly-anticipated post-credit scene:

People News Editor Nigel. M Smith again stressed how good it is:
Just saw #Deadpool2. Safe to say it features the best post credits scene EVER. I’m still recovering.

My eye is twitching.
Grace Randolph from Beyond the Trailer on Youtube gave an emoji review which can honestly mean anything:
#DEADPOOL2 Emoji Pre-Review: 🤣😱🤣😱🤣😱🤬😳🤬🔥🔥🔥🔥🎧🤘😎🤗❤️

Alex Abad-Santos from Vox threw this big call:

Which pissed off this dude a lot:
Infinity War is a perfect film and many have termed it as the greatest movie they have ever seen. Don’t compare it to a popcorn entertainer Deadpool 2 no matter how good the film is. I think you’re one of those guys who went to see IW just because of hype and never followed MCU.

Classic.
This dude from a Canadian paper lowkey spoiled the film so I won’t be including his tweet but he did not like the film at all. Talk about un-Canadian.
Oh, and then Hugh Jackman who has to be the celebrity cameo in the film posted his reaction to the movie.
Hugh jokes about deleting the Insta post immediately but keeps it because of the “shameless promo” for his Laughing Man Coffee.
Their faux feud is the best thing in the world.
Hugh launched Laughing Man Coffee in 2011 so farmers in developing countries could sell their goods to consumers in America. Hugh donates 100 per cent of his profits to the Laughing Man Foundation – a foundation in partnership with Fair Trade USA that work toward housing improvements and college scholarships.

Co-creator of Deadpool, Rob Liefeld had a particularly strong reaction to the film. Taking to his Twitter, Rob shared how he shed a coupla tears because of the nostalgia, because of everything Deadpool has become and because well, it was awesome.
You can read more about that below.
May 18th.
