Deadpool & Wolverine

Awe & ‘Awww’

By: Connor N. F. Field

I went to go see this at an early access AMC fan event and I checked the day of the screening to see that EVERY SEAT in the theatre was filled to max capacity. I even overheard people in rows above me talk about how they might have overbooked the theatre, or people tried to embezzle some seats that were not rightfully theirs. Either way, this screening was the event of the summer. 

Now we get down to brass tacks, the film itself. While the idea of superhero fatigue and the slow down of the MCU continues, Ryan Reynolds keeps it alive in the same old Deadpool fashion by bring something different to the table. While this film most likely breaks those bounds, it still does itself justice with the same sense of humor and keeping the lighthearted nature of its predecessors. 

As to be expected with a lot of superhero movies, the plot is a little lack luster, however, makes up for that by keeping the fans busy with the constant uproar of laughter and cameos to awe and 'awww' the audience. The song choices and fight choreography were done extremely well and complimented each other beautifully.

In would like to go as far as to say that this surpassed the first two films of the Deadpool solo franchise and was even truer to the character that inspired from the comic. Sean Levy takes it a step further that the first two with some extremely creative sequences and outstanding camerawork. My only real complaint was the antagonist who felt a bit dull.

This is 100% a movie that should be experiences in theaters (once to twice... or more). I will not be surprised if this film breaks the $1 billion box office marker. I throughly enjoyed this in theaters and the experience is comparable to that of Spider-Man: No Way Home. I think I will be returning for another viewing in the near future. I couldn't help but to leave the theater with some very memorable moments and great merch.
