DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE MOVIE REVIEW
In Shawn Levy’s buddy superhero movie, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” audiences are treated to a delightful blend of R-rated comedy, action-packed sequences, and Deadpool’s trademark wit. The film’s fourth-wall-breaking humor and Wolverine’s stern intensity create a dynamic and entertaining experience.
This 34th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings together the fan-favorite mercenary Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and X-Men’s Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). Following the events of “Logan” (2017) and “Deadpool 2” (2018), Deadpool aspires to join the Avengers but is turned down by Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau). Feeling purposeless, he finds himself working as a used-car salesman and apart from Vanessa (Morena Baccarin).
At his birthday party, Deadpool is captured by the Time Variance Authority and meets Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen), who offers him a chance to be part of the Sacred Timeline on Earth-616. With his own timeline disintegrating, threatening the existence of his loved ones like Blind Al (Leslie Uggams), Deadpool sets out to save his timeline by traveling through the multiverse to find a new Wolverine.
Throughout his journey, Deadpool encounters various iterations of Wolverine, including a gambling variant, one with an eye patch and white tux, a crucified version, an old one, and a comic book-accurate 5’3″ Wolverine. He eventually teams up with a burdened Logan, and together they face the terrifying Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin), Charles Xavier’s malevolent sister.
The duo narrowly escapes Cassandra’s mind-manipulating grasp and recruits the Resistance, including Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Blade (Wesley Snipes), Gambit (Channing Tatum), and Laura (Dafne Keen). A thrilling battle ensues, leading to a satisfying resolution where timelines are restored. The film features fantastic cameos by Chris Evans, Wunmi Mosaku, and Chris Hemsworth, and Emma Corrin shines as the devious Cassandra.
The movie is brimming with hilarious Deadpool variants, from Lady Deadpool (Blake Lively) and Dogpool to Cowboy Deadpool (Matthew McConaughey) and Headpool (Nathan Fillion). Deadpool’s witty remarks, including jabs at MCU boss Kevin Feige and his own move from 20th Century Fox to Disney, keep the audience laughing.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is the perfect summer blockbuster, blending humor and action while capturing the magic of classic superhero films. With its endless rewatch value, it’s a joyous, exhilarating ride for all.
