Watched the new Marvel movie “Deadpool and Wolverine”. Fans, beware

This week, the long-awaited film Deadpool & Wolverine starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman was released worldwide. Since its announcement, the film has been accompanied by a massive advertising campaign, as it is the first Deadpool film integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This move was necessary for Marvel to avoid the recent problems with their last few films, which failed to meet the expectations of both audiences and critics.

With the purchase of 20th Century Fox, Disney gained the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four universes that featured them. But that also presented the challenge of integrating Deadpool, an R-rated character, into the family-friendly Marvel Cinematic Universe. Did it work or not?

We have already watched the new film and are ready to answer this question and share our impressions, without spoilers (this is important here). By the way, the film premieres in Russia in limited release next week. Unless, of course, they forbid him to return funny jokes.

• There’s a multiverse theme here again, but the scriptwriter didn’t bother

There’s a multiverse theme here again, but the scriptwriter didn’t bother

What is the film about: The plot of the film is based on how Deadpool and Wolverine team up to save their dying timeline. After Wolverine’s death in Logan, Deadpool’s universe began to collapse. To save it, Deadpool decides to find another part of the multiverse of an alternate Wolverine.
While the multiverse opens up plenty of possibilities for crossovers and unexpected encounters, the concept is also starting to get tiresome.

The constant jumping between worlds and timelines helps create a sense of chaos and complicate the perception of the plot.

While the original idea of ​​a multiverse was fresh and interactive, here it felt like a tired gimmick used to justify various characters and cameos.
But honestly, no one expected a Deadpool movie to have a deep script or exciting plot twists.

The main plot arc of the film is really weak and serves only as a backdrop for a series of sketches in different locations with different characters and contexts. The film is more like a comedy road movie, where two partners, Deadpool and Wolverine, control the multiverse, finding themselves in absolutely idiotic situations.

There is probably an opinion that the scriptwriters can be praised for creating charismatic villain Emma Corrin is a brilliant performer in the role of Cassandra Nova. Although the heroine’s motivations remain unclear and seem weak, Cassandra herself impresses with her sinister charisma and crazy abilities. Corrin also managed to bring a mane of malice to her character that makes any mistake with her use frightening.

Deadpool vs Wolverine – you can watch this forever

The film largely rests on the dynamics between the two main characters, Deadpool and Rozvermakh. Their confrontation, filled with humor, sarcasm and action, becomes the central highlight of the film. This was evident even in the first trailers. And those who went to the cinema for this explosive duet were satisfied.

The relationship between Deadpool and Wolverine is reminiscent of two classic buddy movies, where two very different characters work together to achieve a common goal. Their constant bickering and squabbling creates a dynamic that keeps the viewer engaged throughout the film.

Dialogues between Deadpool and Wolverine full of humor and sarcasm. The jokes often touch on meta-themes, such as Disney’s abuse of character rights and even the actors’ personal lives. The film includes jokes about career actors, and plenty of references to Marvel and Fox films. For example, Deadpool often reminds Rolverine of his glory days in other films, and even predicts that Disney will make him play the role until he’s 90. Jackman’s musical talents are also savaged.

Fights between Deadpool and Wolverine are often accompanied by sharp comments and jokes that make the scenes not only spectacular, but also genuinely funny. For example, one of the most spectacular showdowns between the heroes takes place inside an old Honda Odyssey, which is already comical in itself. This moment becomes even more fun when the song “You’re the One That I Want” comes on.

This is not a comic, it’s a comedy, very stupid in places

Deadpool, being a character who constantly breaks (sometimes literally) the fourth wall and actively interacts with the audience, fills the film with caustic jokes, irony and satire. The humorous film is based on sharp remarks and direct references to pop culture, comics and the personal lives of the actors. It is these jokes that bring uniqueness to the film.

But not everything is so smooth.

As before, Vulgar humor is a staple in Deadpool’s arsenalThe film does not hesitate to use the most crude and obscene jokes. We literally descend to the very bottom of the foul-mouthed world of a chatty mercenary.

Sometimes it’s just embarrassing to see such jokes. For example, at the initial stage, Wolverine’s adamantium bones were used as weapons. I’m sure some viewers might have a strange reaction to this moment. In Russia, you can even get a criminal charge for such jokes. On the other hand, the film immediately leads to the rules of the game, as if we were deciding for ourselves whether you are ready to tolerate such a game on the border.

Deadpool & Wolverine also isn’t afraid to poke fun at private giants like Disney and the studio mergers that benefit it even more. sharpness and relevanceIt’s amazing how the bosses of the “mouse” corporation allow such things to happen.

The humor in Deadpool and Wolverine is a combination of witty one-liners, endless references, toilet humor, and jokes about taboo topics. Although the film sometimes goes overboard, sometimes repeating the same jokes several times, it still remains funny and energetic thanks to the audacity of the main character.

In other words, the film is worth watching for those who are dumb, but sometimes like unusual humor.

The action here is cool, it’s interesting to watch

But the film can surprise not only with high humor, but also with exciting action scenes and dramas. The choreography of the fight scene demonstrates its ingenuity and cruelty, while the fighting skill is filled with progressive elements that reflect the characters of the main characters. This time, “Deadpool” lacks the budget for action, which cannot but please.

The film doesn’t shy away from showing gore, which is in line with the R rating and the expectations of violent fans. The war scenes in Deadpool and Wolverine are large doses of creativity and humorwhich makes them not only shocking but also funny.

Unfortunately, we can’t go into much detail about the action scenes, as they were covered by cameos from other characters. But trust us, there are a couple of fight scenes that you’ll definitely want to rewatch, just to get your head around the chaos that’s unfolding on screen.

Cameos are an important part of a film, they even influence the plot.

One of the most striking and talked about topics of the film is the regional cameos that will delight fans. Their number is so great that it is difficult to count them, everything is displayed on the screen. These cameos include characters from previous Marvel films, as well as unexpected celebrities, which make the film a real treat for fans of comics and cinema. We will not talk about them in detail, these will be open spoilers.

But let’s note that even in the film There’s a cameo that only the most dedicated comic book fans will appreciate.. For example, the appearance of characters, their deep films are in development, but never made it to the big screen. It’s a kind of joke for those who have been following the news of the film industry for many years.

The cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the film.
