I grew up a Gambit fan boy when it came to the X-Men universe. So of course i was freakin' excited about that. And they freakin' nailed the character too.

I friggen loved Gambit growing up.

I had to explain to my wife that Gambit can essentially charge anything and the deck of cards is essentially a magazine that he carries because he can aim them well and they're compact.

I do think that Channing Tatum is a little too bulky for the character, though (and yeah, I know the story behind him in the role; I just don't think he's right for it).

I thought they could've done more with the character. Gambit can do some cool shit; the comics really explore the space with that character really well. Whereas the movie just had him whipping playing cards.

I thought it was better than Deadpool 2, though I may have to watch that one again. I've only seen it once and remember thinking it fell well short of the first one. I was a little disappointed by it - not by this.

This was exactly what I was wanting from this movie. It did was Deadpool always does and belabors the point a bit -- every joke/bit is a couple beats too long. But again, what the hell did you expect?
