(Spoilers) Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Review

   From “The Proposal to “Free Guy,” Ryan Reynolds has been at the height of comedy. However he outdoes each of these roles as Deadpool, especially in the new “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

   The new Marvel film was released this July on the 26 and has fans reeling with excitement. The movie features the return of beloved character, the Wolverine, and uses both vigilantes’ expertise to defeat a common enemy.

   The idea of seeing Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine on a screen together was already exciting. But once in theaters, the thrill was unreal. Wolverine’s sarcasm put up against Deadpool’s deadpan humor made the whole room shake with laughter. The surprise cameos, such as Chris Evans as Johnny Storm and Wesley Snipes returning as Blade, were sensational. And I know I was not the only one who enjoyed Channing Tatum cast as Gambit. His Cajun accent was satisfying and fitting for the rollercoaster of a movie.

   Cinematography is half of a movie. The film crew and the director, Shawn Levy, were locked-in for this film. The opening dance montage to the iconic entrances were all perfect and complimented the feel of the film very well. Several scenes were enhanced by the camera work and detail-orientation such as Cassandra Nova’s (Emma Corrin) powers at work.

   “Deadpool & Wolverine” seemed to be a fully entertainment-based production, as the plot began and ended within the two hour movie. However, the producers made up for the lack of plot with exhilarating action, hilarious quips and many, many, easter eggs referring to the original “X-Men”, “Avengers” and “Deadpool” franchises, as well as the “Loki” series.

   Deadpool is known for his iconic fourth wall breaks, where he jabs at real-world events, films and even Disney itself. My favorite instance was after the duo returned to the timeline, when an ecstatic child recognized the Wolverine. Here, Deadpool alludes to Fox’s and Disney’s decisions with the character, picking on Disney’s overuse of certain actors.

   There is only one complaint I can make about this film: Peter’s lack of screen time. I rate this movie a 10/10!

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
