Deadpool & Wolverine is a comic book movie based on the Marvel Comics' characters Deadpool and Wolverine. It serves as the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is the sequel to Deadpool & Deadpool 2. It's produced by Marvel Studios, Maximum Effort, and 21 Laps Entertainment and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Deadpool & Wolverine is written by Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells and directed by Shawn Levy.
The story is, it's been years since Wade's last adventure as Deadpool, however while he's thankfully to have friends he feels very unaccomplished. However, things changed when not do the TVA (Time Variance Authority) offers Wade to join the MCU, but he learns that things his universe is dying. Now, Deadpool must find a way to save his universe, all while teaming up with a very reluctant Wolverine.
Initial Reaction
At first I was full blown, no questions asked excited about this movie. But then I thought about how Logan had a great ending and hoped they didn't ruin that, then my excitement dropped more when I read one of the writers is Zeb Wells. For any of who wondering why that's just a big deal, just read the Vol.6 (the 2022 edition) of The Amazing Spider-Man, then you'll have read and seen why that's awful and why Zeb being one of the writers had people worried. None the less, I went to this movie with an opened mind.
Cons
I've got nothing.
Middle Ground
If this one mix bag it was the special effects. There are times when it's pretty good and well made, other times...yeah. Other times get tell clear as day that a green screen or CGI was used.
Pros
Let's get the obvious out of the way first, yes, the action is great. Even though I mentioned obvious green screen and/or CGI, I still really enjoyed a lot of the action scenes. Especially the opening, Wolverine and Deadpool fighting each other, and Wolverine and Deadpool slaughtering/fighting an entire army. Those were awesome. Then there's Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. These two had fantastic chemistry. Whether the scenes were serious, funny, or mix of both, these two were amazing together, and me and the audience couldn't get enough of them. Then there's the humor. I'll admit sometimes it didn't work, but for 95% of the movie, I had a blast. Can't give away thing without spoiling it, but let me tell you, I've seen all three Deadpool and this one, this one has my favorite opening. It was bloody as well as hilarious. The last thing I'll give credit to is the story. While the Deadpool movies do primarily get recognize for the rated R stuff, much like the previous movies, there's quite a bit of character put into this. But the biggest surprise was it actually pays tribute to the none-MCU movies, more specially the 20th Century Fox ones. Sure the characters have comedic moments, hell one is played as a joke, but the other four characters were treated with a lot of respect. Even the one that didn't even get the chance to have a movie gets his badass moments. There's even a montage at the end credits, that regardless of quality the films from Fox's Marvel flicks are being shown as fond memories. I figured the writers would've brought these characters down and prop up the MCU characters as the greatest just like Twitter/X does, but nope.
Despite some flaws, I still had an absolute blast with Deadpool & Wolverine, and it was will worth the wait.
My final rating is, Good.
That's all for now, come back on Monday, Jul 29th, for my Look Back at review of, Zack Snyder's Watchmen. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
