Deadpool & Wolverine

Verdict: this film delighted me! It is like a filthy love letter to the Fox version of this universe as it walks out for one more encore before we wave it goodbye and the mutants join up with the MCU. Some individual scenes and bits dragged on for too long, but on the whole I loved it and I'm glad it's doing well. Even though I cannot quite imagine what anyone who doesn't understand all the fan service is going to get out of it. Although I guess Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are still very charming and good at their jobs even if you aren't the kind of person who literally screamed when ( spoiler. )

Conversly, if you didn't like the previous Deadpool films this one is unlikely to win you over.

It did not pull any punches - or rather any graphic stabbings and crotch punches - and it's not only the the first R-rated Disney film, but AFAIK the first Marvel movie from any studio to dromp the c-bomb - twice! It would have to be one starring an Australian, obviously. (I am still highly entertained that the first MCU film to drop an f-bomb is actually Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. I guess Wade and Logan had to escalate after that.)

And despite the director's recent complaints and the film literally opening with Deadpool ( more spoiler )

it's actually very respectful of Logan as a story in its own bizarre way.
