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.

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 don't think so this time. The "Deadpool" stuff (the R-rating, the fourth wall breaking, the meta commentary) still worked decently, but unfortunately there is at least as much "Marvel" stuff. The aimless layering of attractions, which for me as someone who doesn't have a vivid memory of all those comic-book films, was almost mind-numbing. I probably never saw half of the cameo roles, and I don't remember a quarter of the characters, and I didn't recognize a quarter of them at first given how they’ve aged. I'm really not happy that we've clearly entered an era where to fully enjoy a new movie, you need to know not only the Marvel movies, but also the Marvel TV series, the X-men universe, the Fantastic Four, and other Disney acquisitions. The bad thing is that I don't see any more ways to get any audience enjoyment out of this, it's pure fanservice. The plot is the classic overwrought Marvel nonsense of recent times where the bad guy wants to destroy worlds because why not. Most of the story takes place in yet another new space we've never seen before, and it's all governed by rules that are pulled out of think air and always told a minute before they're acted upon. 5/10 and I regret not going to see Twisters instead.

A revival of the best that we have seen from the Marvel and X-Men movies. A nerdishly well-crafted pop-up book of sketches with bold references not only to the characters and relationships of the comic-book world, but also to the behind-the-scenes workings of Hollywood studios, and which are not afraid of being honest and poking fun at themselves. Superbly utilised buddy potential between Wolverine and the comical Deadpool, for whose wisecracking Ryan Reynolds could apply for a patent. The female villain is interesting and powerful, and old characters make surprising appearances. Hugh Jackman performs as if his life depended on it and pretty much everyone gives their all, as if it was a matter of saving a phenomenon. Which it also was.

Ever since the MCU has been toying with the multiverse, pretty much anything is possible in this world: even Wade Wilson and Logan reuniting on screen after fifteen years (our time). And this time, they're even bigger and more vulgar! Shawn Levy's film will be most enjoyed by fans of MCU films who have knowledge beyond that, for they will be full of bliss at the huge plethora of references, allusions and jokes to lots and lots of people. The story itself is basically simple, but the film stands on (un)expected cameos and especially on the leading duo, whose bloodthirsty banter I really enjoyed. As with previous Deadpool films, the soundtrack is great, with the the cover of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” standing out the most of course. I literally had a royal good time at all the scenes with Nicepool and his “beautiful” dog, as well as the brutal scene or the confrontation with the Variants. Deadpool & Wolverine is inherently wacky and reference-laden bollocks, but it is aware of this and knows how to properly use it for the viewer's experience. P.S. Watch out for the "baby-knife"!
