The ultimate Marvel porn, a desensitized hodgepodge of enticements designed to leave comic book fans with as many wet seats in the cinema as possible, packed with enough sensory stimuli to make most viewers simply turn off their brains and ride the wave of riveting entertainment. For once you start to think for a moment about the plot, the motivations of the characters, and the significance of their presence in the story, you find that they are virtually nil. Don't get me wrong, it's probably the coolest installment of Deadpool, and unlike most of the recent Marvel movies I've seen, this was at least really fun, but fun that was shallow, childishly simple, consumerist, and not as funny as the five writers apparently tried and wanted it to be. PS. I appreciate a bit the subversive homage to 20th Century Fox and the novel choice of cameo roles, since they are mandatory now, but I won't be lulled by it.

Marvel's salvation doesn't quite happen, in fact, neither does a proper sequel the kind the two previous great films deserve. The threequel, in my opinion, is largely a cynical marketing ploy (yes, I know movies are made to get people to go see them, but they don't have to stick out like that), the plot of which is summed up by its title; it is, after all, nothing more than an opportunity to see Deadpool and Wolverine go on a rampage. Don't expect a surprising plot, and unfortunately, don't expect the well-written story that the first Deadpool had, and oddly enough, don't expect such imaginative action sequences or naturally occurring humour either. There's either too much or not enough of everything in Deadpool & Wolverine. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman certainly had a good time and gave it their all, or what did work worked mainly because of them, as Shawn Levy didn't help much and the other actors and actresses are negligible and entertain mainly with their return to their roles and not by doing anything entertaining. Otherwise, though, I'll long be haunted by things like the agonizingly long monologues of the TVA boss, the soon-to-be-ridiculed slow-motion posing before the action, the whole mess that someone decided to call a story... If the film is a success, I'll be happy for the people behind it, but I certainly can't call it that.

I just love Deadpool! :) Insanely funny and packed with wisecracks, funny cameos and nice brutal action, what more can a viewer ask for from a summer blockbuster? As an added bonus, there's the return of everyone's favourite character Logan, with Hugh Jackman delivering some decent acting as well. It's got a great soundtrack, Shawn Levy does the best job of his career and serves up some fun eye candy moments (right off the bat the opening action sequence is like something out of “Mortal Kombat”), and that Deadpool and Wolverine fight in the car or the fight with a bunch of Deadpools were peak as hell (brutal paint job with amazing camera watching all this carnage from afar). The cameos are very entertaining, but the villain is a bit weak. Story-wise, Marvel isn't really going anywhere and I don't think Deadpool will be the saving grace, I'm more worried that it will be the last good thing from Marvel. The wisecracks and one-liners are again brilliant and I'm looking forward to a second screening so I can properly take them all in, because the cadence is insane and intense. All the ingredients I love in movies are here, so my rating is long decided. Nicepool and the ugly dog were great! 9/10.

This was for fun, it doesn't care about saving Marvel, it's more like the writers are making fun of it and reveling in the fact that it won't make sense. Isn't it? Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman made an action flick where violence solves a lot of problems as long as it's done politically correct and with humor. It's reminiscent of their commercials together, which I love from the bottom of my heart. Aviation Gin Deadpool edition. Millions of references, great cameos that make sense, and many that will make any movie fan's kid heart flutter. The acting is just top notch, and Emma Corrin though she's in the role of the boilerplate baddie rocks. The subliminal line about us incompetent guys (guys and car salesmen?) who never make it to the Avengers pulls the whole movie through and almost moves you. Deadpool has always kicked second league (go Wrexham!) now he's kicking it for unreal money and I root for him. P.S: The running joke with Johnny is an absolute blast.

Your crazy matches my crazy. I love Deadpool, but I love Wolverine even more, and if someone had told me a few years ago that they would meet in a movie, I wouldn't have believed it. Logan was the final chapter in every way, and even though I never literally accepted his canonical end, I didn't need any returns at the same time. Because it couldn't have been better. But it could have been different. The necessary events remain in their timelines and with further breaking the fourth wall, anything, anyone, and anytime can happen. In the first half of scenes, lines, and twists, it's unbridled fun that successfully makes my thirteen-year-old self laugh to tears, the second half throws references and characters from movies I still love, but to my huge surprise, also from directions that have long been forgotten. And just on the sidelines, it moves me to tears. It is a monument to one universe and one giant brand, it is an obligation for all who know Wolverine's comic history and didn't believe they would ever see some of his faces on screen, and it is an amazing film with breathtaking action full of ideas and literal low blows. But for me personally, it is also one of Jackman's peak performances, often played with facial muscles almost subconsciously. I wanted an entertaining movie, I got first-class entertainment that is hardly imitable - and you have to pay gold for it.
