How Deadpool & Wolverine Performed
movie guru's TLDR

Marvel finally stopped playing it safe and let two immortal menaces beat each other up across the multiverse. Deadpool breaks the fourth wall so often it’s basically a demolition permit. Wolverine’s back and angrier than a gym bro who lost his last rep, the man’s whole personality is ‘I hate everyone’ and I respect it. The soundtrack hits so hard my speakers filed for hazard pay, Bye Bye Bye over a highway fight is cinema’s greatest hack. The cameos are pure fan service and I ate every single one like a starving raccoon. It’s unhinged, it’s violent, it’s got more inside jokes than a group chat of comics nerds, and somehow it’s the most fun I’ve had at the movies in years. 8.7 because it’s not a movie, it’s a theme park ride with a body count. The only thing it takes seriously is being unserious. $20 says you’re humming Bye Bye Bye in the shower tomorrow and blaming me.

What works: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman bickering for two hours, the cameos, and Bye Bye Bye over a highway fight.

What doesn’t: The plot is mostly a delivery system for cameos, and the villain in the Void never feels like a real threat.

Who it’s for: Fans who remember every Fox-era Marvel movie and want to be rewarded for it.

Spoilers

Deadpool and Wolverine save Deadpool’s universe together, and Wolverine stays there instead of going back to his own.

Guru’s Take
8.7/10
Great
Deadpool & Wolverine's Blurbs
About me:

Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) has hung up the suit and sells used cars until the Time Variance Authority, by way of Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen), tells him his universe is dying because its anchor being, Logan, is dead. So Wade goes multiverse shopping for a replacement Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and comes home with the worst one, then both get dumped in the Void with Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) and every Fox Marvel character Disney could find. Two hours eight minutes, one highway, one boy band.

Who I'd like to meet:

Whoever cleared the music rights. Also Dogpool.
