SPOILER FREE REVIEW - Deadpool & Wolverine. 8.5/10
The new Deadpool & Wolverine movie delivers beyond expectations, despite the very real issue of superhero fatigue, which even dedicated fans might feel. As a bold departure from the traditional Marvel mould, the film offers a more explicit and adult-oriented experience, a refreshing break that the franchise sorely needed given its recent challenges. Ryan Reynolds is, as always, the perfect fit for Deadpool, bringing his characteristic irreverence and charm to a role that keeps the movie engaging throughout. The humour is sharp and on-brand, making it feel as though a comic book has come to life, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. The action choreography is another standout, with visually impressive and well-executed sequences, particularly Wolverine's return to the big screen, which reminds us why he's one of the best comic book characters ever translated to film.
The chemistry between Deadpool and Wolverine is spot-on, capturing the complex love-hate relationship that fans have come to expect. This dynamic is especially effective as it ties into the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe, intertwining elements from Loki, Logan, and beyond, making this film a unique and significant moment in the MCU. Visually, the movie is a masterpiece, with special effects and cinematography that create a vibrant, comic book-like experience. The tone is perfectly balanced between the darker, grittier elements of Wolverine and the lighter, comedic aspects of Deadpool, offering something for both long-time fans and those seeking a fresh take on the superhero genre. Despite the superhero fatigue, this film is a must-watch for Marvel fans, pushing the boundaries of what a superhero movie can be while delivering a mature yet fun experience. For those eagerly awaiting Wolverine's return or fans of Deadpool's unique brand of humour, this film is sure to satisfy. In summary, I'd rate it 8.5 out of 10—it's a strong addition to the Marvel franchise that exceeded my expectations, even after reading some of the leaked script years ago, and it offers a promising glimpse into the future of the MCU.
