Deadpool & Wolverine

Alright, here's an extended review of "Deadpool 3":

"Deadpool 3 was an unexpected disappointment, falling far short of the franchise's earlier successes. The humor, which has always been Deadpool's most defining and entertaining quality, was sorely lacking in this latest installment. In previous movies, the jokes were sharp, irreverent, and perfectly timed, but in Deadpool 3, they felt forced and uninspired. It was as if the writers were trying too hard to recreate the magic of the first two films, but instead ended up with a series of awkward and unfunny moments that did not land.

Moreover, one of the most glaring issues with Deadpool 3 was the absurd amount of cameos. Cameos can be a fun and exciting surprise when used sparingly, but this movie took it to a ridiculous level. The sheer volume of them turned what could have been enjoyable Easter eggs into a frustrating distraction. Each new appearance pulled me further out of the story, making it difficult to stay engaged with the main plot. It seemed like the filmmakers were more interested in showcasing a parade of guest stars than focusing on a coherent and compelling narrative.

The overreliance on cameos also highlighted another problem: the lack of a strong, central story. In previous Deadpool films, the balance between character development, humor, and action was spot on. Deadpool 3, however, struggled to find its footing, often feeling like a disjointed series of skits rather than a cohesive story. This was particularly evident in the pacing, which was uneven and, at times, downright sluggish. Just when I thought the plot was finally gaining momentum, another cameo or a poorly executed joke would derail it.

Character development also took a hit in this film. The charm of the Deadpool character lies in his complexity and depth, but in this installment, he came off as a caricature of his former self. The nuances that made him such a compelling anti-hero were overshadowed by an overemphasis on crude humor and unnecessary antics. This was a real shame, as Ryan Reynolds has consistently brought a unique blend of wit and emotional depth to the role, but even his talents couldn't save the floundering script.

Additionally, the supporting characters, who had been so integral to the storylines of the previous movies, were underutilized and poorly written. Their interactions with Deadpool felt superficial, lacking the meaningful connections that had previously added layers to the narrative. The new characters introduced in this film failed to leave a lasting impression, making their presence feel like an afterthought rather than a carefully crafted addition to the Deadpool universe.

The action sequences, usually a high point in Deadpool films, were another letdown. They lacked the creativity and excitement that fans have come to expect. Instead of thrilling, well-choreographed fights, we were given generic and forgettable scenes that did little to elevate the overall experience. The visual effects, too, were inconsistent, with some moments looking surprisingly subpar for a movie of this budget and scale.

In conclusion, Deadpool 3 was a frustrating experience that failed to capture the essence of what made the first two films so special. The forced humor, excessive cameos, weak storyline, and lackluster action sequences all contributed to a movie that felt more like a cash grab than a genuine continuation of the beloved franchise. Fans of the Merc with a Mouth deserved better, and it's disappointing to see such a promising series take such a significant misstep."

Hugh Jackman is the perfect Wolverine. What a fun movie. I like the dialogue and clever quips with f bombs sprinkled in. It's definitely not taking itself too seriously. There is tons of fun cameos I didn't expect! I normally watch spoiler videos ahead of time, but I didn't on this occasion and I'm glad I didn't because there was some oh snap moments! It's a very good action packed fun film. The breaking the Fox jokes and speaking to the camera jokes are too funny. I can definitely see more sequels for these two on the horizon. They are promoting this movie hard I just watched these two on Hot Ones eating chicken wings They make a dynamic duo. Until your 90 Wolverine ...until your 90 lol.

When did cursing more become a recipe for humour?

Much of the film is filled with Wolverine and Deadpool needlessly stabbing of one another as if that was going to help the plot.

The cameos were more time fillers because the plot itself was without any substance.

They should stop Ryan Reynolds from writing screenplays. Anyone encouraging him should be accused of having an agenda.

If you feel that my review is stupid, ask yourself what's left of the film once you remove stupid insults, stabbing, shooting and witless sexual references?

I get that the film is a fantasy action film. It just doesn't deliver on any other level other than being base comedy.

We've waited so long for this moment, and it was beyond fun, wholesome, full of surprises, emotional and epic! Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy pour out their hearts for this movie to be what is it.

It's beyond the MCU timeline, it's beyond even FOX's "X-Men" movies. It's about all the kids who grew up with these movies and these characters. The kids, who are now adults, but still love every bit of it.

You know it's going to be fun with these two, but man... I laughed so hard, even my stomach was feeling it. And the jokes... be sure this is not Deadpool watered down in the MCU, it's Deadpool at its best. The inevitable bromance unveiled before our eyes. The story is fine, nothing special, but you feel it, and knowing the past knowledge about these characters and their respective universes makes everything hit the emotions.

What about the cameos, you'd ask, I guess? Well, we already know about a bunch of them, but be sure, there's a bunch more and even the ones we already knew are more than what meets the eye.

Emma Corrin as the villain Cassandra Nova is such a good addition to the movie and to the MCU as a whole. She is smart, strong, cold-blooded and also makes fun of our two leads.

The action and the visuals are beyond amazing. There are some really, really creative scenes, where adamantium swords and claws create such a mayhem, that makes everything so bloody!

The music choice is great and fun, at times could crack you so much. The opening scene is pure gold!

Can't praise the movie enough, but "Deadpool & Wolverine" is definitely in my top 5 cinema experiences, and you can easily guess the other ones. The whole theater was laughing, cheering and sobbing like a one person. What more could you ask for? Also, the movie got such a rewatchability factor, the length is perfect and be sure it will make tons of money! You can't possibly catch all the details in the first viewing for sure, but you will want to, so you'll go again and again... and again.

What about the credit scene, you might ask? I kind of don't want to say anything about it because I don't want to spoil even the possible direction your thought is taking. Just stay for it, also during the credits there is something really beautiful. It's nowhere near "fun filler", it's not "Infinity War" level too, but it's a great movie, and it's one of MCU's finest!

So that was a trip. I really enjoyed that film, and think both casual and hardcore fans will be pleased. Not perfect, but still pretty darn entertaining. There's a temptation lately for films that aren't perfect to be seen as a disappointment, and I hope that isn't the case here.

The Deadpool and Wolverine team up has been teased since 2009's disaster X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. The film aims to strike a balance between being accessible to casual viewers while also satisfying die-hard fans of the characters.

However, the film also faces the challenge of navigating the complex and intricate web of continuity that exists within the Marvel universe. With close to 50 (!) films in its continuity (not including the TV shows and Sony's films), the Deadpool and Wolverine movie needed to carefully thread the needle to ensure that it honors the established lore while also delivering a fresh and engaging story.

Despite the potential baggage of its expansive continuity, the Deadpool and Wolverine works as a standalone.
