Deadpool & Wolverine

Cumbersome plotting aside, there’s enough gory mayhem and genuine zingers to make Deadpool & Wolverine a fun ride in a packed and up-for-it cinema.

It’s amusing at times, especially for fans of the MCU as several Marvel superhero movie stars pop up in cameo roles...

Some of the jokes land through sheer volume and force of will, but it feels like you have to endure 40-or-so rectal stabbings for a single juicy zinger.

The tonal battle between the two characters is a walkover. Between the frenzied slapstick violence and battery of gags, two hours plus pass in a finger click.

Avengers/X-Men fans who're looking for fun, keep your ears open. The real party is in the freaky chatter.

Hall H: The Movie, offering up an onslaught of familiar (though largely forgotten) superhero faces intended to elicit knowing, nostalgic nods and applause.

All in all, it’s a mixed bag, but the positives do outweigh the negatives.

For all its giddy rebelliousness, its profane humor and gory violence — and its delicious meta commentary — “Deadpool & Wolverine” is sheer, unadulterated fun.

Ultimately, "Deadpool & Wolverine" is both the film you expect based on the past two "Deadpool" experiences — full of crude humor, bloody action, and stunted emotional growth — but it’s also a strangely moving button for the Fox Universe.

What I find is a very boring sequel in which neither the violent action nor the prefabricated jokes of Marvel properties work. [Full review in Spanish]
