The tone by David Leitch made this movie. This was fast-paced, colourful, action-packed and hilarious. Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry were so great with such a different dynamic from each other. 

Now, the cinema I watched this in might have censored a lot of bloody decapitations, or so I heard; so maybe the action sequences were actually even better than what I saw. And that actually was my only complaint about the movie: With something like this, the action sequences should have been more flourished and longer. So until I watch the uncut version, that was the weakest part.

Also, I wished Masi Oka had more to do other than a few short scenes. 

There were a few cameos and most of them worked wonderfully, bringing in more of the fun element which the movie had an abundance of already.
