Spoilers Ahead! (Though I’ll try to be sly about it, but no promises.)
Alright, are we ready? Let’s dive in! Picture this: a random afternoon, I get asked to attend the first-day-first-show of a movie and review it. Naturally, I jumped head-first at the chance—who says no to a movie, especially when Deadpool and Wolverine are involved?
To all the Marvel fans (and even casual moviegoers), I’m thrilled to report that this film hits all the right notes. We’ve got a fun, action-packed, thrilling, sci-fi extravaganza courtesy of the MCU. And no, we don’t always need the Avengers to save the day (or…do we?).
The Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) combo? Absolute genius! It’s a pairing I never imagined, but wow, it worked. Reynolds brings his signature wit and humour, while Jackman delivers the stealth and power we’ve come to love. Together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Their superhero audition criteria? A killer sense of humour and the ability to kick some serious butt.
I could gush about these two all day, but if you’re here to find out why you should carve out some time this weekend to catch this flick, you’re in the right place. Keep reading to discover what makes this movie a must-watch!
1. Tea? Yes, served smoking hot!
Alright, folks, let’s spill some piping-hot tea! We all know Disney acquired 21st Century Fox Studio, but what really steals the show is Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) hilariously addressing the whole situation. And honestly, who’s complaining? Deadpool wittily calls out Disney and Marvel throughout the film, keeping the audience in stitches.
2. Cameo? Uh… do you mean cameo-s?
Still scratching your head over whether it’s Blake Lively or Taylor Swift playing Ladypool? Hold onto your popcorn! The movie is packed with jaw-dropping cameos that will leave you amazed.
From a surprise appearance by a DC guy (yes, one we’ve been dying to see in the MCU), Henry Cavill (or should I say our iconic Superman) to familiar Avengers faces like Hulk and Chris Evans, this movie is a cameo buffet that’ll keep you glued to your seat for 2 hours and 30 minutes straight!
3. Never go out of style
If you’ve followed Reynolds’ career, you know wit is his secret weapon, and no character wields it better than Deadpool. By the end, even Wolverine seems to catch on. Whether it’s a fight scene or a dramatic moment, I’ve never laughed so hard in a Marvel film before.
4. Multiverse? Please stop (or… don’t)
Marvel’s multiverse obsession continues! Just when we thought we’d had our fill with the latest Doctor Strange movie, which left us in a state of multiverse ‘madness,’ here we go again. But hey, who’s complaining?
5. What a playlist!
You know those memes that say music can change everything? They can turn an emotional scene into a comic one just by changing the background music. Well, brace yourselves! From Straykids’ SLASH to Montell Jordan and Wino’s This Is How We Do It and *NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye (With Reynolds’ dance), this movie’s soundtrack is an absolute banger, perfectly complementing every scene like a true superhero.
We waited 20 years to see Hugh Jackman in Wolverine’s costume & every minute is WORTH IT! My theater went ENDGAME LEVEL NUTS. Marvel Studios has MOVIE OF THE YEAR on their hands again. BEST MULTIVERSE STORY since Spider-Man: No Way Home. LET’S F***** GO! pic.twitter.com/twfq6Suh3C
