DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (2024) – FILM REVIEW
★★★★★ (5/5) | Dir: Shawn Levy | Genre: R-Rated Superhero Action-Comedy

THE MCU JUST GOT ITS EDGE BACK

Marvel’s most audacious team-up delivers everything fans have demanded for 15 years: bloody claws, fourth-wall breaks, and the glorious R-rated chaos only Deadpool and Wolverine can bring. This isn’t just a movie – it’s a franchise course-correction wrapped in chimichanga jokes and berserker rage.

THE DYNAMIC:
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s chemistry is nuclear-grade explosive. Their Odd Couple routine – Wade’s motor-mouthed pop-culture diarrhea vs. Logan’s grumpy “go fuck yourself” energy – produces the MCU’s funniest, most violent double act. The script weaponizes their real-life friendship and 20 years of fan expectations with surgical precision.

WHAT WORKS:
► THE FIGHT SCENES – Think Logan’s WWII montage from X-Men Origins… but good. The “Bullet Train” sequence alone justifies the R-rating
► MCU SATIRE – Deadpool eviscerates Phase 4’s missteps while somehow salvaging the Multiverse concept
► JACKMAN’S BEST WOLVERINE – More brutal than Logan, funnier than X-Men, with surprise emotional depth
► CAMEOS THAT MATTER – No empty fan service here; every surprise appearance serves the story

WHAT DOESN’T:
◉ Some jokes overshoot into “try-hard” territory
◉ The middle act drags slightly between action peaks
◉ Requires working knowledge of 20+ Marvel projects

VERDICT:
This is the shot of adrenaline the MCU desperately needed – a riotous, raunchy love letter to superhero cinema that proves R-rated stories belong in this universe. Stay for both post-credit scenes (yes, plural) and bring spare tissues – for laughter tears and unexpected emotional gut-punches.

ESSENTIAL VIEWING FOR:

• Fans of the original Deadpool films
• X-Men devotees who waited decades for this
• Anyone who thought MCU humor became too safe

MVP: Hugh Jackman – giving Wolverine the sendoff he always deserved while somehow topping Logan.

BEST LINE:
“I can’t believe Feige let us say ‘fuck’ in the sacred timeline.”

DID YOU KNOW?
The script includes 6 different jokes about X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s Deadpool abomination. Reynolds never forgives. Never forgets.

WHEN TO WATCH:
Opening night with a rowdy crowd. This is Event Cinema with a chimichanga in one hand and a beer in the other.

FINAL WORD:
The most fun you’ll have at a superhero movie since Endgame. Merc with a Mouth meets Mutant with a Moody, and the result is glorious, gory perfection.
