Deadpool & Wolverine

What a crazy blast ! Bonkers !!

Sooo !... What I can say about this movie is that they (the whole team behind the movie) never hesitated a second to go all in, with everything they have in stores, throwing the kitchen sink in there and everything else.

What's to love is how highly satisfying the movie is from the very first to the very last second, when it comes to all the little (or not so little) winks at the audience, especially if you connect with the characters and their previous iterations...

But what you can really appreciate and which makes the entire movie (and scenes / story bits) more enjoyable is the whole emotional layer of it and really fun connections that occur (the come-back or introduction of various characters was so well done and really great to see) ...

These guys clearly know what they are doing.

Between the one-liners and the endless flow of jokes... The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman knocks it out of the park !

It is so overflowingly cray-cray and the frame is oh so overfilled with stuffs...

Oh, and the tone of the movie is something else !

The intro sequence is a masterpiece... The "corridor" type of fight scene (that's in fact in a street) around the end the movie, it's just...a banquet of madness.

Plus, the soundtrack is -like in the previous movies- super satisfying.

I am quite excited for what there is to come next in the MCU and for these characters we've seen in this movie...

It was painful to watch this movie at times. While Deadpool is known for his crude, foul language, this movie went overkill.

With all the jokes made in prior movies and trailers, this movie showed up with an almost empty tank of gas. The plot was simply dumb and didn't do much for the Deadpool franchise. Most of the humor was the same formula. After a while it felt like a funny comedian telling the same joke but in a different style over and over and over again. It got old.

There were some fun scenes, but for the first time in a Deadpool movie, there were many parts where I simply lost interest and checked my watch.

They probably should have taken the wins from the first two Deadpool movies and left it at that--and I would have been 100% ok with it.

Not worth the movie ticket, but good enough when it goes digital.

We saw this at the midnight premiere in imperial Copenhagen, it was a fun experience meeting people in the middle of the night for a new movie, and assembling fans who enjoy this franchise as much as ourselves.

The movie in its entirety was very enjoyable, but it seemed like they just had to come up with something for the fun of it. Don't get me wrong, Ryan Reynolds does a phenomenal job, and the some scenes are just way to hilarious. But it lacked something which i somehow can't explain, it just seemed like they could have come up with a better story imo. But what do I know?

I say go for it, and at least you end up laughing.

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.

I enjoyed the first two Deadpool movies a lot, with the first being my favorite. I found DP3 less successful, mainly due to the weaker story. In the first two films, I felt they had a nice balance of humor, action, and story. Both of those movies had serious themes that drove Deadpool through the film. But this third one? The stakes just didn't seem that high. I wasn't the least bit invested in seeing DP and Wolverine succeed. That tension and hope were missing from this third film.

I think I wasn't as engaged due to the endless breaking of the fourth wall. This was done in the first two movies, but not to the extent it happens here. It seems like every 5 minutes, someone turns and looks into the camera to make a joke. Many of the jokes are about Fox, Marvel, and Disney. A few are fine, but there are so many that you get yanked out of the story.

The trash-talking was also dialed up to an eleven. It's almost like the writers felt they had to do a lot more wall-breaking and tasteless swearing to go beyond the past two films.

There are a lot of positives, however. The character cameos are fantastic. I constantly found myself saying "wow" everytime someone new came on screen. Kudos to Reynolds and everyone for getting so many great characters from the past to be included in this movie.

I also found the fight scenes and VFX to be excellent. The movie has a lot of great action. Although there were too many jokes, I have to admit I had many LOL moments.

If you loved the first two DP movies, you will most likely enjoy this latest installment. For me, the fourth-wall breaks and crass humor diminished what could have been a stronger core story.
