Deadpool & Wolverine

What a crazy blast ! Bonkers !!

Sooo !... What I can say about this movie is that they (the whole team behind the movie) never hesitated a second to go all in, with everything they have in stores, throwing the kitchen sink in there and everything else.

What's to love is how highly satisfying the movie is from the very first to the very last second, when it comes to all the little (or not so little) winks at the audience, especially if you connect with the characters and their previous iterations...

But what you can really appreciate and which makes the entire movie (and scenes / story bits) more enjoyable is the whole emotional layer of it and really fun connections that occur (the come-back or introduction of various characters was so well done and really great to see) ...

These guys clearly know what they are doing.

Between the one-liners and the endless flow of jokes... The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman knocks it out of the park !

It is so overflowingly cray-cray and the frame is oh so overfilled with stuffs...

Oh, and the tone of the movie is something else !

The intro sequence is a masterpiece... The "corridor" type of fight scene (that's in fact in a street) around the end the movie, it's just...a banquet of madness.

Plus, the soundtrack is -like in the previous movies- super satisfying.

I am quite excited for what there is to come next in the MCU and for these characters we've seen in this movie...

Alright, here's an extended review of "Deadpool 3":

"Deadpool 3 was an unexpected disappointment, falling far short of the franchise's earlier successes. The humor, which has always been Deadpool's most defining and entertaining quality, was sorely lacking in this latest installment. In previous movies, the jokes were sharp, irreverent, and perfectly timed, but in Deadpool 3, they felt forced and uninspired. It was as if the writers were trying too hard to recreate the magic of the first two films, but instead ended up with a series of awkward and unfunny moments that did not land.

Moreover, one of the most glaring issues with Deadpool 3 was the absurd amount of cameos. Cameos can be a fun and exciting surprise when used sparingly, but this movie took it to a ridiculous level. The sheer volume of them turned what could have been enjoyable Easter eggs into a frustrating distraction. Each new appearance pulled me further out of the story, making it difficult to stay engaged with the main plot. It seemed like the filmmakers were more interested in showcasing a parade of guest stars than focusing on a coherent and compelling narrative.

The overreliance on cameos also highlighted another problem: the lack of a strong, central story. In previous Deadpool films, the balance between character development, humor, and action was spot on. Deadpool 3, however, struggled to find its footing, often feeling like a disjointed series of skits rather than a cohesive story. This was particularly evident in the pacing, which was uneven and, at times, downright sluggish. Just when I thought the plot was finally gaining momentum, another cameo or a poorly executed joke would derail it.

Character development also took a hit in this film. The charm of the Deadpool character lies in his complexity and depth, but in this installment, he came off as a caricature of his former self. The nuances that made him such a compelling anti-hero were overshadowed by an overemphasis on crude humor and unnecessary antics. This was a real shame, as Ryan Reynolds has consistently brought a unique blend of wit and emotional depth to the role, but even his talents couldn't save the floundering script.

Additionally, the supporting characters, who had been so integral to the storylines of the previous movies, were underutilized and poorly written. Their interactions with Deadpool felt superficial, lacking the meaningful connections that had previously added layers to the narrative. The new characters introduced in this film failed to leave a lasting impression, making their presence feel like an afterthought rather than a carefully crafted addition to the Deadpool universe.

The action sequences, usually a high point in Deadpool films, were another letdown. They lacked the creativity and excitement that fans have come to expect. Instead of thrilling, well-choreographed fights, we were given generic and forgettable scenes that did little to elevate the overall experience. The visual effects, too, were inconsistent, with some moments looking surprisingly subpar for a movie of this budget and scale.

In conclusion, Deadpool 3 was a frustrating experience that failed to capture the essence of what made the first two films so special. The forced humor, excessive cameos, weak storyline, and lackluster action sequences all contributed to a movie that felt more like a cash grab than a genuine continuation of the beloved franchise. Fans of the Merc with a Mouth deserved better, and it's disappointing to see such a promising series take such a significant misstep."

D&W is a film that objectively deserves a nice 4: full of holes in the plot, history to forget and probably one of the most lame of the whole MCU, characters without any emotional depth and many other cinematic horrors. Wolverine is reduced to a mere character that serves only to support the jokes of Deadpool. Which is a shame, since Jackman is a great actor who could have been used much more. The title of the most suitable film would be: Deadpool (written in giant letters) & a bit of Wolverine (as subtitle). The villain is terrible to say the least: almost non-existent motivations, a little random powers and a forced and fake acting. The secondary characters are strung with force , according to the fan service fashion to which the film continually winks. So why is my grade 6? It's simple: it's funny. It's a very flat and drawn-out movie, but it's funny, and not little. The irony of this film is unmatched and it makes fun of anything, following a comical pattern that has disappeared with the culture of politically correct (Disney...). The final film is free, unrestrained, unregulated and minimally influenced. Get ready to laugh every 10 minutes: the jokes are so sharp that it's almost impossible not to mention a small smile. It's a pity that comedy is not enough, if everything else is as mediocre as few films.

Honorable mention for Dogpool, who, believe me, is the best actor in the film. And that says a lot.

When did cursing more become a recipe for humour?

Much of the film is filled with Wolverine and Deadpool needlessly stabbing of one another as if that was going to help the plot.

The cameos were more time fillers because the plot itself was without any substance.

They should stop Ryan Reynolds from writing screenplays. Anyone encouraging him should be accused of having an agenda.

If you feel that my review is stupid, ask yourself what's left of the film once you remove stupid insults, stabbing, shooting and witless sexual references?

I get that the film is a fantasy action film. It just doesn't deliver on any other level other than being base comedy.

It was painful to watch this movie at times. While Deadpool is known for his crude, foul language, this movie went overkill.

With all the jokes made in prior movies and trailers, this movie showed up with an almost empty tank of gas. The plot was simply dumb and didn't do much for the Deadpool franchise. Most of the humor was the same formula. After a while it felt like a funny comedian telling the same joke but in a different style over and over and over again. It got old.

There were some fun scenes, but for the first time in a Deadpool movie, there were many parts where I simply lost interest and checked my watch.

They probably should have taken the wins from the first two Deadpool movies and left it at that--and I would have been 100% ok with it.

Not worth the movie ticket, but good enough when it goes digital.
