Our family saw Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) in theaters last night. The storyline follows the end of existence, with Deadpool being offered a chance to die now or find a happy place to reside until the end. Instead, Deadpool escapes to another world called The Void and seeks help from old friends in the Marvel universe, and hopes to save existence and everyone in it.

Directed by Shawn Levy (Free Guy), the film stars Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder), Hugh Jackman (Logan), Dafne Keen (The Acolyte), Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), and Emma Corrin (The Crown).

This was a fun rollercoaster, and you could tell everyone involved put a lot into this film. The characters were a blast to watch, the comedy was colorful, and the cameos were brilliant. There’s definitely a lot to like here. The action scenes are well-executed, though a minor gripe is that some fight sequences felt repetitive, and I don’t prefer CGI blood, but it is what it is. Seeing all the characters fight together was fun. They definitely had some smart twists with characters, but there were aspects of the story that worked better for me than others. I also think they could have used better villains. Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were awesome, and their bickering back and forth carries the film. They looked like they had a lot of fun making it. Leslie Uggams (Sugar Hill) killed her performance in this; she always cracks me up. The ending of this movie was great, and I actually think we will be seeing a lot more Wolverine in our future.

In conclusion, Deadpool & Wolverine is a perfect summer popcorn movie that deserves repeat viewings. I would score this a 7.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
