Theres not much of a plot and the villains weren't that great. It was a good laugh though and amazing cameos and fight scenes.

Its story may not be the strongest, but the comedy makes 'Deadpool & Wolverine' an excellent watch! There are some top notch gags in there, particularly to do with the recent offscreen changes for Wade Wilson's alter ego. As you'd expect with Ryan Reynolds in this role, the jokes are plentiful and there is barely any time to react to one before another appears. That can sometimes not work as well as intended, e.g. 'Deadpool 2', but here the humour is executed perfectly. Reynolds himself is quality, it is a quintessential Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool performance. It's real neat to see Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine, he does play second fiddle to the other titular character but still more than holds his own, as you'd expect. Emma Corrin, meanwhile, enters the MCU with a great showing. As noted at the top, I do think the plot couldn't been superior - but not in a negative way. What is…

_Deadpool & Wolverine_ is the best the MCU has been since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It’s two hours of comic book-driven fan service and delivers entertaining surprises, nostalgic throwbacks, memorable action sequences, and worthwhile performances. **Full review:** https://bit.ly/WadeLogan

In moviemaking, sadly, there can be a problem with going to the well too many times, and this latest installment in one of filmdom’s better cinematic franchises verges on proving just that. This offering’s predecessors (2016, 2018) significantly distinguished themselves from the kind of fare typically found in the superhero genre with their outrageously bawdy humor, hilarious sight gags and relentlessly maverick attitude. This time out, however, director Shawn Levy’s latest effort is a decidedly hit or miss affair, with an often-incoherent script that feels like it was cobbled together from a collection of leftover parts, some of which work and some of which don’t. I suppose that’s not entirely surprising from a screenplay that was penned by four different writers, making me wonder how much consensus was in place in compiling the finished product. Moreover, this film appears to…

Such a fun watch, maybe one of the best experiences I've had in a theater. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to 24 year old franchise.

Well the "Deadpool" concept is now well and truly immersed in the Marvel multi-verse and I really did fear for good old "Dead". More of the same? Well, no actually. Ryan Reynolds has reverted more to the occasionally quite vulgar humour of the first film (2016) and allowed this trequel to focus more on the personality of this irreverent, immortal, superhero as he tries to resurrect the recently departed "Wolverine/Logan" (Hugh Jackman) so he can save his timeline from erasure. To do that, and thwart the comically menacing "Paradox" (Matthew Macfadyen), he has to face down "Cassandra Nova" (Emma Corrin) - who happens to be the long estranged twin sister of "Xavier" who presides over the void. That's a "Mad Max" style desert style territory where all the undesirables have been put by "Paradox" and his organisation over the years. Initially, there's no love lost between our two heroes. The …

Deadpool and Wolverine is a movie that I truly believe the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has needed for a while. After years of lackluster installments, this film is a breath of fresh air. Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy approached this project with care and a deep understanding of what fans want. The film feels like it was crafted by fans for fans, particularly those who have been frustrated by the recent phases of the MCU. Reynolds and Levy brought on a team of writers with a strong background in comedy and storytelling. This decision pays off, as the film’s humor and narrative are both sharp and engaging. For example, the meta vibe of Deadpool, familiar from the previous two films, is ramped up significantly. The movie spares no one, making jokes about everything from Hugh Jackman’s recent divorce to Ryan Reynolds' career. However, it’s the MCU that rec…

It feels a bit rushed... but then it was rushed. It feels a bit neutered, but it's now Disney and they did muzzle it. The thing is though... it's not woke, which is why you have articles criticizing it for "Not Being Gay Enough" and in 2024, that very literally translates to: "They focused on a story and characters rather than a political agenda and we're mad about it." Which, in turn, translates to "Actually entertaining." It's amazing how articles complaining about a movie not being Gay enough can guarantee you that the movie is going to be good. Only.... it's meh. I mean, when you compare it to most of the movies this year it's pretty epic. When you compare it to most of the post 2016 movies this is one of the greatest things ever made... but when you compare it to the other Deadpool movies it's rushed. But... who cares, it literally doesn't have a point other than ente…
