I'm sure I am in the minority when I say that I don't understand the hype.... The story is a poor and the whole film is set piece heavy for the sake of fan service. I like Deadpool and the Wolverine myself but didn't think was anywhere near as good as expected and not as good as the first Deadpool movies.
Well worth the watch because it was funny with some excellent action scenes and dialogue, BUTT those smacking bits got me, I just had tears in my eyes from laughing so much at that scene OUCH.! is all I'll say so you can see it for yourselves, enjoy ;-)
This must be the most meta movie I've seen in quite some time. References to 90's superheroes, 80's music, back to the origins of what deadpool was with fights and comedy. It feels like home, good job.
As someone who isnt interested in the MCU, this is still a fun watch. For my own personal taste, alot of the jokes were not funny to me, but I accept that others will find this hilarious. There were several fight scenes that were truly spectacular or clever. You definitely have to be plugged into the MCU to full understand everything. I have to admire Ryan Reynolds for sticking to a specific style of comedy and being able to pull it off with such a huge budget.
no real story, doesnt matter, im here for the jokes. lol
Okay I'll merge the branch and the kids are ready when we go to bed early last week I was using the same as wild or no one is
sorry yo, but I hated the plot. Never a fan of the time travel stuff. still funny, but plot's pretty important yo
This was a fun movie but it played out like a pure cash grab more than anything. They played far too much into the traits of Deadpool that made him unique and quirky in the beginning like constantly breaking the 4th wall was done FAR too much. The sexual references were kind of cringe worth after a while (and usually he's breaking the 4th wall when he makes them) and it's just over the top.
Jackman gets a pretty small role, and they made sure to give cameos to the other MCU folks and it just fell flat. It felt like just pandering honestly.
I'm not saying this was a bad movie, but I do hope this is the end of Deadpool because I didn't like it enough as a sequel to believe that anything else in the future will be worth the watch.
I thought I would have a different view on the second view but my opinion is unchanged. Subpar plot but made up with great humor, exciting action sequences, nostalgic cameos, and a well portrayed villain.
I'm through half the runtime and it hasn't been interesting enough to not to pause and sleep, do some other work, some more work etc etc. And then came the cameos with obnoxious music and camera work— like a child bothering you "look, look, look" wasting your time and won't let go until you so.
I'm not a action scenes fanatic: that is to say that I don't watch movies primarily of the action genre or for action scenes. But the action scenes of this movie were more interesting to me— maybe because that's the only time i didn't have to sit through boring storyline or dialogues, making it a much needed fresh respite.
This movie was a sore letdown from what i expected based on my experience with previous movies. I guess this is what happens when a movie previously independent from Marvel, joins Marvel— it has to carry all the burden of the whole MCU and its characters which in turn pushes all the remaining breathable air out.
Was adding Wolverine to the franchise necessary? No. But what if you felt the franchise would fail in earning big bucks— the ever growing shareholder profits are IMPORTANT— then yes. What's better for business than adding a huge IP to the mix?
If nostalgia celebrated with constant references and reunion episodes are your thing, this movie is for you. Gather your local Marvel community, hold a screening and enjoy!
Update: last third is far better than the first two-third of the movie.
One of the most over advertised movies probably, just because of the fantastic duo! Their friendship, their awesomeness, make the internet and instagram collapse. Several amazing sketches about the movie make this the most appropriate way of promoting it.
If you see it, that is it. You have seen the most entertaining, super judgmental, super cameos and soooo many inside jokes about FOX, MARVEL, loved the bashing between them, love the comments of disney like they actually talked to the audience and not in the movie. I mean it had Jennifer Garner !!!!!!!!!!!!! i cried on that !!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes i have a man crash on Reynolds, don't care, the guy is awesome and that is what he does better, do not care if people think "that is all he plays" he is perfect on that. Even more awesome when you read that most of the part is self made and on the spot created.
You must have seen X-men before and one deadpool and first season of Loki. This way you will understand more and you will embrace more the awesomeness of the movie.
It doesn't get better than this.
Super enjoyable, fantastic music score on the battles, i mean just fantastic!
What a work of art. Hit me right in the nostalgia. Only thing we can say is, "I was there".
This movie was lit, it was fun to watch and it seemed Like the People who made it had the Chance to include their ideas.
It wasnt political correct or some shi.
More quality stuff Like that and the Future will be bright.
LOVE IT!!!!
It's not perfect, but the not so great bits are more than compensated for by the awesome bits.
10/10
Disney should promote Ryan Reynolds as their new CEO.
All hype, no substance. The finale was 2 guys holding hands and saying "aahhh". They didn't even transformed into Gotenks. mehh 5/10.
utter garbage not worthy of your time. whole franchise is crumbling.
They seriously ruined logan. I know deadpool ruin everything but wolverine, F......k.
Movie was awesome until Disney fucked it all up with their woke bullshit! If I’d known beforehand it was a Disney production I’d never watched it. Go woke go broke. Fuck that shit!
A really terrible movie that shockingly has high ratings. I'll start with something I know is not at all the point of these Marvel movies, but it bears saying in specific relation to this movie: it looks horrible. At a certain point in the movie, Deadpool jokes about Mad Max for some reason, and you can clearly see the inspirations from Furiosa. But instead of building off the imagery from that franchise, it plays off as a cheap pastiche. The color grading for some reason is completely desaturated, so everything looks grey and dull. The action sequences are edited so chaotically, with cuts snipping away from the action and shaky camera pans. To be honest, there is not a single scene in this entire movie that seems to have been shot well or even competently. Regardless, I get that cinematography is not why people watch Deadpool and Marvel movies.
In terms of plot, the movie doesn't really fare much better. None of the Deadpool movies have had noteworthy plots, but this in particular feels like a phoned in effort. It starts out promising, but nothing is really developed ever. Cassandra steals every scene, but the character has no intriguing motivations despite having hints at a compelling backstory. The movie also is cognizant of how it will need to handle the aftermath of Logan, and it doesn't even attempt to. After a sequence where it tries to be edgy about these concerns, it explicitly tries to ignore this conflict. This Wolverine is effectively the same as the one from the X-Men franchise, but he's ostensibly different. His backstory is so underbaked that it gets info-dumped in a weird exposition that doesn't even show anything, so whatever angst he's feeling is incredibly unearned. The movie parades around X-23 but outside of like two lines, there is no reckoning between the two characters. There is no exploration of the impact from Logan nor Wolverine as a high-level character. The movie is instead far more concerned about his costume, really symbolizing why it fails compared to Logan, viewing his impact only by the aesthetic exterior without any care about the meaty character interior. Finally, Deadpool does have an arc driven by his desire to be an actual superhero, but the movie never really earns this idea of him being able to self-sacrifice, instead just playing the cliched plot beats and going through the motions. I actually think there might have been an intriguing approach by focusing on his found family, but they are barely on screen in this movie. No point in mentioning themes because there are none.
Now, you might be saying that no one cares about the cinematography, plot, themes, or characters. Deadpool is all about the comedy, and this movie is all about the odd couple buddy comedy vibes. To that, I think this movie is different from the first two in the sense that while the first two would often poke fun at superhero movies, cinematic universes, and franchise building, this movie actually becomes the very thing it is meant to be making fun of. At one point, he jokes about cameos, only to have an overdrawn parade of cameos, inclusive of "applause moments" where the movie is actively hoping to have people cheer their introduction. These characters are only relevant if you follow internet casting rumors or followed older superhero movies, and it will age horribly because the characters themselves have no depth unlike similar cameos in something like No Way Home. In general, you know Ryan Reynold's overeager line-a-minute comedic timing already, both from the first two movies as well as pretty much everything else he has been in. I personally find it grating, but I think it is pretty much the same here even if the fourth wall breaking and satire are a lot less sincere. I did actually enjoy his interactions with Wolverine, and make no mistake, the movie did make me laugh out loud a few times, so the comedy isn't awful, just not as clever.
Lastly, in terms of acting, I thought Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were what you would expect them to be. Certainly not Hugh Jackman's best Wolverine performance, but as mentioned before, he has nothing to build on with this half-baked character. However, I do want to call out Emma Corrin because they were absolutely fantastic as Cassandra Nova, and it's a shame the movie couldn't utilize them more. I am also always a fan of Matthew Macfayden who is again underutilized but great.
Overall, if this movie appealed to you, you probably have already seen it. However, to those viewers who are not drawn in by the fanservice, this movie is just a giant stitching together of internet memes, a zombification of a character whose legacy was far better off prior to this movie, and the very representation of the type of movie that it is trying to mock. If this is what modern blockbusters and Marvel are going to become, we are in for a rough time.
this movie went absolutely nowhere. and so did our heroes.
Seems like some of these people are forgetting that they are watching a Deadpool movie.
Personally I love it, the chemistry, the banter, the jokes, the cameo especially with X 23 and Logan reunion. Although it is lacking in the story department imo that is fine because was not a single dull moment and the ride from start to end was just hella fun.
Easily top 3 for marvel phrase 4-5 movies.
This movie makes me want to watch all x-men and old mcu movies again. Thank you Ryan and Hugh we love you
Second watch:
I love this movie more and more every second. The old clip montage always pulls at my heart strings
"I hope you had the time of your life"
:heart::heart::heart:
A solid 6. I don't know what's supposed to be so awesome :type_1_2:♂
I was really disappointed in this movie. I don't know, maybe it's I'm older now, but I didn't find it funny like I used too. Forced humour. Tired of everything with the multiverse. After 80 minutes I had to take a break, wondering if it's ever getting better, but no it didn't.
I don't know if it's Marvel or Shawn Levy but this wasn't doing it for me. It's got a multiverse of cameos and jokes, but just like the movie itself, it's a little too much. The overused multiversal 'shortcutting' plot already feels excruciating, and the cardboard visuals wash out even the beast that is Wolverine. Luckily the actors seemed more than dedicated and the pace was constant, even if it's a wobbly one. A lot of this felt like last-minute prioritising, although the designs, choreography, and score took me apart like string cheese. I just hope they get creative with the multiverse method soon.
Mr. Paradox was just the worst. His accent is soooo bad and I don't care if it is real.
That mid-credits tribute to the FoX-Men universe was an unexpected punch to the nostalgia. Man, it's still so wild to realize how close we got to Dougray Scott playing Logan/Wolverine in the first X-Men movie; were it not for him being injured in that stupid motorcycle mid-air collision in Mission: Impossible II, the world never would've met Hugh Jackman's Logan. Also Johnny Storm actually being the one who really did say all that shit about Nova is one of my favorite jokes of the movie. It's such a Wade Wilson way to describe someone, so it was totally believable that Wade made that up on the spot and got Johnny killed for it, only to find out that...yep, Johnny actually said it. After 14 years of Chris Evans playing such a straight-laced nice guy like Steve Rogers, that curse-filled rant coming out of his mouth was the cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.
Quite an accomplishment: A movie, with bathroom humor that only Junior high boys might get a kick out of. Yet it's rated R because it's too vile, vulgar, and bloody for them to see.
First of all, I think it's definitely worth watching. Deadpool, we have already seen in this movie that the Marvel universe has a very important place. The other scenes that surprised me the most were the heroes. The Fantastic Four, the Card-Throwing Guy, and the Girl in the X-Men. It's beautiful and definitely fun. Normally, I would add the movie to my favorites, but they went into a lot of humor and comedy. I'm only breaking 1 star. Other than that, it's even monitored just for entry. I would love to see Loki in this multiverse. Anyway, it was nice in a nutshell. Definitely watch it, have fun.
An average movie, a very confusing script with its many parallel approaches to the main story. The characters are nice, but the need to include jokes in every minute of speech becomes annoying. The action scenes are very well done, with a good dose of gore. Overall, it's a predictable and repetitive movie, lacking a more relevant story.
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - :heart:x9
SO MUCH FUN!!!! This has so many quick one liners and in-jokes - you really need to watch this at least 2 or 3 times to catch it all. And Reynolds and Jackman are awesome together. And just so, so, sooo many cameos.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Garbage dumb so don't waste ur time
Very good movie. I recommend it 100%. Loved the nostalgic iconic characters return too. Hoping to see a lot more of Wolverine tho, we need Hugh to be the wolverine until he dies unfortunately.
lulz so random xD part 3
Very disappointing.
This one won't get repeat viewings.
This is the ultimate tribute movie to the X-Men Universe.
It only took 20 fu$%ing years... looks at camera raising eyebrows
It took Deadpool ressurecting, Fox dying and Logan being desecrated to finally get Wolverine right.
Short Wolverine, Brown costume Wolverine, Patches, Age of Apocalypse Wolverine, freaking X-Crucified Wolverine?!
I have lost hope a long time ago of ever seeing any of those near the big screen.
Also seeing Aaron Stanford back as Pyro was a delight. I have recently watched the outstanding 12 Monkeys show and man, when he said they were going to see "Cassandra" my brain totally short-circuited!
BEST ENDING SCENE EVER.
and you can quote me.
The first hour is a pain. Deadpool's humour and ponderousness are awkward, and contrast with Wolverine's darkness. It's only after the first hour that the film really takes off, carried entirely by a grandiose Hugh Wolverine. A top film, even if you have to sit through the first hour. But after that... mama mia, it's just crazy. A must see. Hugh really is a great actor. Ps: I'm worried about Deadpool 4...
Definitely the best out of the 3 Deadpool movies, even if it’s just for the laughs.
Definitely not a comeback from the MCU.
Definitely the funniest shid I've seen in a while.
I wasn't expecting it, but I went home oddly satisfied. I thought Disney could fuck up this too, but luckily this movies always got some sort of freedom that let them do almost whatever they want to. Because that's what makes them so different.
On a sad note, I would've loved if the movie could've been more of an adaptation of "Deadpool kills the Marvel universe".
"They're gonna make him do this till he's 90."
This movie brought so much joy to me and the audience I watched it with. Do they lean on nostalgia? Sure.. but there is an actual story here as well. In a way it is a closure and love letter to Fox's Marvel era and there are actual heartwarming moments. Just when you think it would just be jokes, they take some things serious, and we appreciate it.
Laughed so hard throughout this movie. It was emotional at times, but mostly a complete chaotic mess - exactly why you'd want to watch a Deadpool movie. Oh, and Wolverine is just as hot as he has always been, so there's that too.
I really liked it. Even though I really liked it, I found it the worst of the deadpool related movies. Worth a watch and i did love the cameos of the old. I just found it went into a genre i wasnt in to.
Good fun as usual from "Deadpool". Hugh Jackman was excellent as "Wolverine".
Some good cameo performances as well. :thumbsup_tone1:
And "Mary Poppins" OMW! :dog: That dog :dog:.
Worth a watch. :thumbsup_tone1:
Can't say I expected some of the fantastic cameos we got here. Fan service galore and entertaining as hell. Great stuff. 8.4
I'm glad to see jackman as wolverine once again.
Watched this tonight was a lot of fun but I forgot all about the impending doom machine thing until the last 15 minutes as it’s mentioned once and then not at all.
Really fun though!
An excellent addition to the Deadpool tomfoolery. 50% Rated-R jokes, 50% waayyy over the top fight scenes, 10% plot, and 80% breaking the fourth wall. The math checks out, this one’s a Deadpool movie
Pros: Comical as you'd expect. Action scenes are great. Cons: a little bit too much 4th wall breaking especially mid-convo with other characters.
Good movie. Felt a bit inauthentic to the previous two movies.
Don’t know why people are really acclaiming the movie but it’s just “Mid”. Take off the special appearances and it’s even worse although RR & HJ were really great.
A little overboard on the wall breaking and the tracking shot scene was fantastic, but seemed useless and out of place. I get why they did it and it was cool, but it was pointless. I think they wasted a potentially good villain they could have built up (I know zero about the comics) and overall this seemed like an MCU plot filler to bridge to the next set of movies. Otherwise it was enjoyable, great jokes and action scenes on par with the first two.
Just what I expected from Deadpool movie. Dick jokes, breaking 4th wall and making fun of super heroes movies. Great
Big budget fan service iteration of the previous Deadpool movies. Ticks all the boxes of quips and references and mangling the fourth wall but overdoing it in an otherwise plain and unsurprisingling template superhero adventure flick. Without the charm of the previous flicks. And some surprisingly bad rubberman CGI.
Overhyped, but it had its moments. Got a reminder why I dislike x-men in general.
This was pure gold and this actually gave me high hopes for the upcoming movies. The amount of self criticism was like a realisation of the mess they made since Endgame. Let's hope the future looks as bright as this hilarious movie!
Entertaining and fun, but the Time Variance Authority or whatever is the worst part of the current MCU and the stakes are too rooted in multiverse shenanigans to feel "real".
Haven't laughed that much in a very long time. Everything was great.
Deadpool & Wolverine was by far the best Deadpool movie of the series so far. Ryan Reynolds & Hugh Jackman have amazing chemistry together on screen, it’s not the first time they shared the silver screen in a Marvel Movie the first was X-Men: Wolverine Origins which was the live action debut of Ryan Reynolds as the Merc With A Mouth Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds was the best actor who could have been chosen to bring Wade Wilson aka Deadpool alive on the big screen. Even though Wolverine Origins was not the best X-Men movie, Ryan Reynolds made a slam dunk with his portrayal of Wade Wilson in the helicopter and elevator scenes, it was Fox that fucked up the Deadpool character at the end of that movie by silencing the Merc With a Mouth. Hugh Jackman’s return to the Wolverine role was Epic, it wasn’t as epic as his role in Logan but it was pretty damn awesome. You get lots and lots of OMG moments & Oh Shit cameos from Marvel Characters you haven’t seen in fucking years. So if you are looking for a massively bad ass fucking movie then Deadpool & Wolverine is the movie you are fucking looking for hands down. So go see Deadpool & Wolverine or I will drop a fucking Time Ripper Bomb on your Fucking Face Fuck Yeah!!!!
An instant favourite. I watched this movie in cinema 2 times, and will probably watch it a couple more times. I love comedies and this is a really fun and effective comedy. The casting works, jokes are not forced or repetitive, plot is kept at a bare minimum. I just love this type of humour and this type of movie so that is very subjective. The guideline is - if you liked the first two movies (especially the first one) you will like this one. I'ts more of that but with Wolverine.
What I also liked is that there isn't too much tied in content, like you eneded to watch last 5 movies or 3 TV shows to understand what's what. There is some exposition for some stuff from Loki. If i missed any other references or related content than I guess it didn't matter.
10/10 ez
"You put a Deadpool and a Wolverine together, make 'em hold hands while listening to Madonna? Indestructible."
My friend dragged me along to go see this even though I hadn't finished my X-Men marathon yet. It was fine.
It was fine because I don't think watching all the X-Men movies would've added much weight to this weightless story.
It was fine because it didn't spoil anything for me aside from Logan, which Deadpool 2 already spoiled.
And it was fine because it didn't really have much of a story at all, but I did laugh a bunch.
"Gubernatorial."
It was okay. Not sure what it was trying to be. Too many spoilers on YouTube. I did love Johnny Storm and Gambit's choice of expletives as they outdid Deadpool.
What a crazy blast.A pure cinematic candy.Ryan and Hugh are awesome.Marvel found it's mojo again.
What a pleasant surprise from Marvel. I laughed hard throughout and held my breath at times. The plot was whatever but the whole package was fun, exciting, and bloody. I hoped to see a Sabretooth/Wolverine fight but the Wolverine/Deadpool fight definitely make up for it. If you like crude humor and action sequences, definitely watch
Once the cameos start pouring in left, right and center, it stops feeling like a movie and more like action figures smashing against each other. Like Spider-Man: No Way Home, but with more swearing and less of a solid emotional core.
At least a lot more of the jokes landed this time around.
Although I tend to find the humor of the previous Deadpool films a tad tedious, this time it didn't bother me as much. The plot makes no sense, but I found most skits and gags fairly entertaining.
Judging by the end credits montage, this film was supposed to be a tribute to the now-defunct Fox/Marvel universe. Too bad that Wolverine is the only major character from the franchise to appear in the film. Many get mentioned more than once, but they’re nowhere to be found. At that point, I would have focused on the fanservice of seeing the two protagonists interact in completely new contexts rather than bringing back to life characters no one ever felt the urge to revisit again.
the fun parts were super fun but the plot took itself a bit too seriously and i got very annoyed with the typical mcu stuff like the long ass tva monologue i dont care i didnt watch loki!!!!
This is the best dead pool in the franchise so far.
On paper, Deadpool and Wolverine is genius, in reality it's more of a rollercoaster ride sprinkled with crazy battles, cameos, references and unnecessary "maturity". I am all for foul language but at some point it's too much and I roll my eyes. No, saying "fuck" every 5 seconds does not make something mature, it does the opposite and becomes childish. Sure, that's Deadpool, but the foul graphic language should serve a purpose and not just be all of the dialogue, turning it all into running diarrhea that goes in one ear, out the other. Now, the cinematic IMAX experience with this movie was unmatched, and I really enjoyed the concept of it and all the action scenes were glorious. It falters in way of story telling and dialogue but it is a god damn good action movie. The fan edits are gonna save this one for sure, trim some of the fat and you got a 8/10 Marvel movie.
A lot of heart and lot less guts. That's the best I could come up with if I were to describe this movie in a few words. I don't understand how this is the best movie since Endgame. It's a bloody mess...literally and figuratively. The movie starts with a bang, shit ton of funny moments, Deadpool did a great job at acting as Ryan Reynolds...yes I know. Ryan is charismatic as ever, all the jokes land, the gore hits the mark and the movie gives up on being tolerable beyond that point.
The movie is definitely nostalgia bait, filled to the brim with cameos for the nerdy 30 year old Marvel fans who somehow had the balls to sit through the X-Men movies (except Logan and some other movies all the others were painfully average in my opinion). Remove all the cameos and you have what you call an awfully assembled mix...yes worse than the "mix" playlists Spotify makes just for you. It has no direction and have no idea where it's going, beautifully shot at times, I loved the locations and the cinematography, but man the fucking cgi was questionable to say the least, it's not as bad as some of the shit we've gotten earlier, but I swear to god half the time Wolverine wasn't even Hugh Jackman. His whole character is cgi. The gore is great as always, the action choreography is top notch. It was fun seeing Deadpool break the 4th wall, and joking about Fox and Disney, I actually laughed probably at all the jokes. But where it annoys me is when they try to blend in emotional elements of the story with the funny ones, it happens about 3 or 4 times within the movie where Wolverine/ Deadpool have a really deep moment and 3 seconds later their back to cracking jokes. I loved the weird ass chemistry between the duo but we should've gotten more...way more from Wolverine, he did nothing special that we haven't seen before.
I honestly had no idea how the movie is gonna end? The time passed by rather quickly, the villain is weird made no sense another mess of a character, the power of friendship ass ending was goofy as hell, addition of the TVA felt forced although how pivotal it was to the whole story of the movie. Like I said it has a lot of heart poured into it but Deadpool had sliced his own guts to make a more compelling movie story-wise. I don't give a rat's ass about the cameos, especially when they are come and go. In No Way Home, the cameos actually meant something for me possibly because I'm a huge Spiderman glazer but still the cameos here had me drooling for the first 3 seconds and I completely forgot about them few minutes later.
Ayiii Shapat, if you are not watching this shithousery in Hindi, you are missing out everything. I watched both the version. Sure, the orginal audio got the Easter eggs and foreshadowing dialogues better but bhau yeh Hindi kya aatank machaya hai bhidu. Like completely senseless dialogue writing based on the pop culture in India and most importantly over the top cringe lines makes it the superior version. Geeky moments chalti rahegi bhidu but pehle tu mera ek chapri joke sun. Maze dila diya Bhediya Bhaiya aur Mrityutalaab bhai ne. Esko kehte hai godlevel super level ussse bhi uper level dialogue writing. Bole toh zyada khopdi ka istemaal na karo aur maze karo. Haso, khelo, muskurao, jiyooo kya pata kal ho na ho. But enn mutants logo ka kal zarur aata hai. Cameos were the only usp for me. And the greatest point is Deadpool taking direct dig on the studios ka lafda. Yeh hui na baat. Maza aaya. Kya mai yeh doobara dekhunga? Ji nahi. Esse accha eske osts sunn lunga. Kya dimaagphatak gaane daala hai re lala. System hila diya. :skull:
Best Deadpool film and Best Marvel film since Endgame. It's still a Deadpool film, nothing epic or life changing. It's goofy and shallow and the main plot is Sh1t and GenZ Dr. X is completely retarded. If Wolverine wasn't in it it would FLOP completely. But its the best of its kind. Rate 7. 5/10
Rated a Connor 10, normal 9
I hope you weren’t too excited for Laura or Sabretooth after seeing the trailers, as they’re hardly in this. Hugh looks amazing with the classic suit and cowl and is even able to display his acting chops in one particular scene, but overall I found myself disappointed not only with the team up, but the decision to bring back Wolverine for such a middling film after such a perfect finale.
it is not bad, but I'll be entirely honest I expected more.
This film has such a weak connection to the first two films which was kinda disappointing. It’s like they created everything around Wolverine and all the cameos and put the smallest thought into a storyline.
It was still a fun watch, but not as good as the first two films
Fan service, but it's okay.
best romance movie of the decade hands down
Deadpool and Wolverine: A collision of chaos and claws that will leave you breathless.. Epic.
Peak superhero movie. Nevermind Endgame, this is the one.
Nothing special and falls under the Marvel trouble of stakes that are so big you just don’t care. Continues the pattern of making any of Deadpool’s same-sex attraction a source for humour rather than giving it even one serious moment to make it more than a joke. Was happy to see Jennifer Garner kick ass again!
Amusing as the Deadpool series always are
A dream team I hope they keep working together whether be in the mcu or any other project.
Only violence and flat jokes. Boring as hell
Absolutely fantastic, loved it from start to finish!
Hilarious, cool, and dripping with style.
[8.4/10] Deadpool & Wolverine does well at what the Deadpool franchise has always done well: irreverent edgelord goofery with a side of loony violence. But it also succeeds in an area where the first two Deadpool installments fell short -- telling a straight character story for its spandex-clad antiheroes worthy of the audience’s emotional investment.
And if that weren’t enough, it takes something that's always been a part of the character’s cinematic vibe -- meta nods to the broader entertainment industry and superhero industrial complex -- and turns it into a heartfelt and surprisingly moving tribute to all the Marvel movies and characters that endeared audiences well before, and beyond, the MCU.
With all of that to accomplish, the film is a lot It packs in a ton of incident, a torrent of characters and cameos, and arguably one act too many for pacing purposes in its more than two-hour runtime. But while a touch unwieldy, what Deadpool & Wolverine serves up to the audience is never unwelcome. And more than anything, the places where it succeeds -- in its comedy, its fun action sequences, its worthwhile journeys for its eponymous duo, and its loving paeon to Marvel movies past -- it is easily the best Deadpool movie of the bunch.
That starts with the trademark “Bugs Bunny on crack” vibe of the title character himself. From the moment in the opening credits where Deadpool slaughters an array of nameless goons, brandishing his erstwhile rival’s adamantium skeleton, and breaking it down to the dulcet tones of NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye”, you know exactly what kind of delightfully demented hijinks you’re going to be in for over the next two hours and change.
The expletive-laden patter that saturated the first two films is back with a vengeance, despite the new Disney banner hanging over the production. The banter among Deadpool and his comrades sings as always, especially with Al. And beyond the dramatic chops that are table stakes for new partner-in-crime Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, he also makes for a good straight man to Wade Wilson’s actions, and gets in a few good dry ripostes of his own. So much of what distinguishes Deadpool from the slate of other supes is his trademark babble, and thankfully, the “Merc with a Mouth” remains intact.
The film also isn’t afraid to offer a buffet of its wacky/transgressive comic stylings beyond the chatter. The advent of “Nicepool”, a gentle, crunchy version of our resident red rambler, brings the laughs (and presumably, helps give Ryan Reynolds some face time). Gags centered around Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Paradox, a contemptuous functionary at the Time Variance Authority have a distinct flavor, bolstered by the actor's winning performance. And the physical comedy of Deadpool’s clownishly expressive reactions and gestures lend themselves well to the yuks.
That ties into the movie’s visual verve in its big action sequences. Some of what Deadpool & Wolverine has to offer is pretty standard blockbuster fireworks. A group of heroes storming the stronghold of Cassandra Nova, Professor X’s twin and the movie’s big bad, is enjoyable from the emotional triumph, but pretty standard in its bad guy beat-em-ups.
But the opening bash-and-boogie of the TVA baddies has a real claret-soaked Looney Tunes quality to it in its inventive methods and framings of destruction. A brotherly-yet-bloody brawl between the two title characters in the close quarters of a Honda Odyssey finds originality in staging the skirmishes in a confined space. And the penultimate set piece, where the duo fend off a hundred Deadpool variants in one long “hallway fight” shot in a cacophony of fluid (and fluid-filled) motion brings enjoyable video game energy to the piece. Yes, there’s still some of the expected blood and guts, but the movie also offers more creativity amid Deadpool’s smash-and-grabs than that.
It also offers more depths. Rather than resurrecting Jackman’s Wolverine after his poignant demise in Logan purely for comic fun, D&W instead finds its own measure of piercing pathos for the character. Amid the universe-hopping antics to find a new “anchor being” to save Earth-10005, Wade Wilson ends up bub-napping the “worst Logan”, and with him, a chance for redemption.
The film actually builds on Logan. There is great poetry in Laura/X-23 saving this Wolverine the way the mainline one saved her, and she serves as the emotional bridge between the two. A running joke about Logan finally donning the iconic yellow-and-blue duds turns into a heart-rending symbol of his regret. The way it dovetails with his guilt over how being a moody lone wolf who refused to join the X-Men led to all their deaths, deaths he could have prevented if he’d sucked it up and become a joiner, turns an object of fun and fanservice into something legitimately piercing.
Throw in the way he makes an emotional appeal to Cassandra over how Charles would have loved her, his own noble sacrifice to erase the red in his ledger, and a recognition that Logan was “always that guy”, even in the good universe -- and more than anything, you have a film that gets Wolverine -- for laughs and for drama.
The same is true for Wade Wilson. While the devoted romance of Deadpool and the self-serious “family drama” of Deadpool 2 were the soggiest parts of both films, Deadpool & Wolverine finds something more substantive and moving for its lead character -- centered on why he does this at all.
The script lays it on a bit thick. An amusing but heavy-handed early conversation with Happy Hogan makes clear that Deadpool needs to learn to do something because of the needs of others rather than the needs of himself. But by god, trite or not, it works. Showing how this off-the-wall numbskull nevertheless has a soft spot for the makeshift family represented by a treasured polaroid, one that makes him ready and willing to save the universe, is a heartening path to follow. The break-up and make-up with Vanessa is slight, but on the whole, the tack wrings some genuinely affecting material from a character who proves he can be more than just a high-powered joke machine.
Some of that is the meta. One of the joys of Deadpool is that he is, in many ways, a one-man Greek Chorus. His fourth wall breaks don’t just leave him winking to the audience, but commenting on the story-in-progress in a way that adds a Mystery Science Theater 3000 energy where the call is coming from inside the house. And at the same time, the jabs at Reynolds’ own career, Disney Standards & Practices, the multiverse trend, and Fox’s absorption and demise, all come with that spark of “Can they get away with that?” bravado.
Despite the impulse to tweak and snark at all of the real world mishegoss that surrounds the MCU, the cape flick era, and the wider entertainment industry, Deadpool & Wolverine is ultimately a love letter to the Marvel movies outside the MCU’s umbrella. You can even think of it as the non-MCU Avengers, with the titular duo teaming up not only with Laura to represent Fox’s long-running series X-Men films, but also the likes of Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, and even the Channing Tatum Gambit that never saw the light of day.
Some of this is pure fanservice. There’s background easter eggs galore in The Void -- the place where properties discarded by the TVA and the corporate entities it stands in for -- go to perish. Blade gets a reprise of the famous “skate uphill” line before the act is up. MCU luminary Chris Evans gets a chance to riff on his pre-Cap turn as Johnny Storm. But some of it clearly comes from a place of genuine affection for these films, a desire to give those characters one last hurrah, and an affirmation of the merit and memories that existed in the Marvel movie pantheon long before Iron Man came to town.
That's the rub of all of this. In-universe, Deadpool is straining to prove he’s worthy and aiming to save his universe, but the real life allegory is clear. With Wolverine dead, the studios have little use for the diminishing box office returns of Fox’s X-men universe. But Deadpool, as a character whose box office takes and cultural cache still have (and earn) currency, could have a place in the MCU.
Instead of the selfishness of jumping to the marquee (if diminished) superhero mega franchise and jettisoning all that came before, Deadpool fights to preserve the *Fantastic Four*s and *Elektra*s and even the X-Men Origins: Wolverines that may not fit perfectly into the current Marvel cinematic firmament, but which still meant something to the audiences that experienced them. He doesn’t just go on a quest to prove he matters by joining the MCU, or by saving Earth-10005 from destruction, for his family and friends; he goes on a quest to prove those films matter, that their characters are worth holding onto, for their real life fans sitting in the theater.
For once, the metatextual elements that have always been at play for Deadpool are more than just donkey sauce drizzled over the layers of gore and goofery at the center of the character’s films. They are, instead, something that elevates the film to be about more than two men’s personal paths toward self-actualization amid their off-kilter adventures. They’re also about a quarter century of films that had their ups and downs across eras and studios, but which have value and meaning worth preserving despite the inevitable voids of continuity reboots and boardroom takeovers.
In that, Deadpool & Wolverine does more than bring back what fans loved from its first two entries. It does more than fortify the dramatic side of the series that was never much of a selling point until now. It does more than smash together your favorite action figures from beyond the MCU’s sunny shores. This grand guignol gem of a film also uses its meta mayhem and winking asides to honor a spate of movies that paved the way for the Avengers, and argues that, no matter whose name is on the door, they too are worth saving.
Hype was insanely high and it mostly delivered for me. This is exactly as we expected, which is good, but is also one of the few disappointments for me (if you can even call it that). It is an amazing Deadpool-movie, with great jokes, fourth wall-breaking, story and multiverse cameos. But did it surprise me and bring something unexpected? Not really. I left the theater with a weird feeling because of it. I had a great time, but I wanted to be surprised by Marvel Jesus and that just didn't happen the way I hoped.
Second viewing today in iMax and just gets better!
"Baby Knife"
Minus a point cause they didn't have a 5 hour sex scene:broken_heart:
For me it was the best of the three by far and despite the criticisms, for me the dialogue and acting carried it more than basic plot itself. But i really feel this managed to have just the perfect amount of "heart", in an obscene R rated over the top offensive and violent entry, where the first two were more true to being a complete, but amazing, gag-fest, but the simple driving dynamic of these two iconic characters, vs. deadpool with the help of no one other "character-building-main" character particular.
i think the directing and writing team of Shawn Levy nailed it in this regards along with the amazing action sequences that are more akin to the "John Wick" style of action movie, supported by the fact that the characters powers are going to naturally lead to more direct hand to hand combat and less overall action based around large special effect sequences or more "magical looking" type powers would lend to.
I highly recommend, and the post credits scene manages to have legitimate heart and be hilarious at the same time, really paying honor and showing the incredibly massive step this is for the direction the franchise to finally use their full true arsenal.
Yes, a great movie for the fans, but the story made no sense. I'm glad to see Wesley Snipes as Blade once again.
The one and only Blade.
Why is Thor crying? :joy:
Had an absolute blast watching this with friends. One friend loved it so much he urged me to watch it again. I mean... I wanted to watch it again too but we never rewatch movies in theaters because, you know, money.
Another brilliant deadpool movie, full of blood thristy easter egg action with a hilarious sense of humour and glad to see hugh jackman with his wolverine role back, he was awesome! It broke the 4th wall even more! Now this is how the MCU should be always!
I loved every minute of it.
I can't think of a single thing I didn't like about this movie. I don't give 10s out very often so I racked my brain trying to think of another rating to give the movie, but there's nothing to lower the score. Someone in another comment said the gore lowered the score for them, and that's fair but it didn't bother me. It's a Deadpool movie, they're always a bloody mess, and it is rated R. But I thought it was fine, because they don't linger on the bloody moments enough for it to be gratuitous in my opinion.
I was never bored, I can't remember the last time I laughed so much when watching a movie, it even had some touching moments. It was so fun, the choreography of the fighting, the choice of songs that played during the fights, the choice of the song that played during the climactic final scene, everything fit so very well. It even gave this Logan, who was from a different world, a redemption, which he desperately needed. If you like Deadpool and Wolverine in their previous movies, or if you are familiar with the characters of Deadpool and Wolverine from the comics, I highly recommend this movie.

Dynamic Duo Delivers in “Deadpool & Wolverine” (2024)
I’ve been eagerly anticipating the team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine for years, and “Deadpool & Wolverine” (2024) truly lives up to the hype. The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman is everything fans could hope for—each playing off the other with perfect timing, blending Deadpool’s chaotic humor with Wolverine’s gruff, no-nonsense attitude. This dynamic makes their interactions an absolute joy to watch, infusing every scene with energy. The film captures the essence of a comic book adventure, offering a fast-paced, action-packed story that stays true to the spirit of its characters. It doesn’t just rely on nostalgia; it delivers a fresh take on their relationship, filled with witty banter and explosive sequences. As a comic book fan, I found it immensely satisfying—the kind of film that makes you feel like a kid again, flipping through the pages of your favorite issue, now brought to life on the big screen.
