I mean if someone hated the character or had no idea who he was then I could get it. Otherwise I just don't now how that wasn't at least an enjoyable movie.I know people are trying to be contrarian and everyone has different senses of humor but honestly I don't know how you could walk into that movie if you didn't have any prior prejudices and say that movie sucked. It was easily one of the best movies since Endgame.
I definitely did not think it sucked. I laughed a fair amount and found some (but not all) of the cameos to be amusing. It's pretty well acted. Jackman is great and I dug Emma Corrin's Cassandra Nova.I know people are trying to be contrarian and everyone has different senses of humor but honestly I don't know how you could walk into that movie if you didn't have any prior prejudices and say that movie sucked.

But I do think there are plenty of flaws. The story is a some real wheel-spinning. Ultimately zero stakes. Doesn't advance the MCU. Doesn't advance Deadpool. Doesn't establish the X-Men. All the toys go back into the same place in the box they were before the movie started. Fun while it lasted, but ultimately pretty inconsequential. For all the Marvel Jesus jokes and dunking on multiversal story telling, this just did all the same unsatisfying shit (but with bits!)
At least The Passion of the Christ advances the plot.It is now even bigger than Jesus

Deadpool & Wolverine Breaks The Passion Of The Christ's R-Rated Box Office Record - SlashFilm
Deadpool & Wolverine has overtaken Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ to become the highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office.www.slashfilm.com

It's really more of a movie about real life business deals and movie gossip than it is about its own characters. Some of the jokes are funny, but the movie's really about Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox and Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman than it is about Deadpool & Wolverine. Just like Spider-Man: No Way Home is actually about the Marvel-Sony business deal and Rise of Skywalker is about all the panicked corporate notes on The Last Jedi. I understand that Deadpool being meta allows him to make these jokes, but it kinda underlines how there's no there there.
One of the best since Endgame is, I think, TRUE, but it's still pretty faint praise given the output since then. I definitely prefer Guardians 3 and Multiverse of Madness and PROBABLY No Way Home. But the choices get real thin real fast for sure. In the overall MCU and Fox/X-Men series I'd put this about in the middle of the pack for both.

That spoiler comment is actually what I thought it was going to be as they were building up to it.A lot of fun and some really great cameos.
Only one complaint and it literally doesn't matter at all, but I just don't know why they refuse to have this back story in either Logan or here:
In the Old Man Logan storyline, Mysterio tricks him into believing the mansion has been attacked by a group of super villains. He kills them all only to have it revealed that he has actually butchered all of his teammates. Would have fit so perfectly into him being the "worst Logan." And would have had so much more impact than a random group of humans came and wiped the x-men out and he felt guilty because he'd been out drinking? And instead of generic screams of him getting revenge on people we could have the screams of his teammates trying to get him to stop as he kills them all.
Otherwise its a Deadpool movie. Hits all the right notes. Ryan Reynolds really does a great job with the character and its amazing that Hugh Jackman, who has been playing this character for nearly 25 years now, is still killing it.
Yeah basically how he was written for the recent run of Uncanny Avengers which was a hybrid with some X-Men (Rogue, Kwannon/Psylocke not Betsy/Psylocke/Captain Britain, Monet) and Avengers. Him and Captain America have kind of a bromance and Rogue played the serious "Wade, aye got no time for your jokes" role.I can envision Deadpool in the MCU. He could still be wisecracking but without 4th wall breaks. I can live without the 4th wall breaks even if I know it is part of his schtick.
I think the UXM #251 where the Reavers crucified him and Age of Apocalypse Weapon X with one missing hand were my favs.![]()
