Review Tuesday: Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

Deadpool enlists Wolverine's help to save his timeline. 
Marvel has been playing with their stupid multiverses and ruining their titles for years now. So when word got out that there was going to be a new Deadpool movie in which he mocks the entire thing and it will have Wolverine in it too? Okay, sounded like something to watch!
 
This is the idea, something so catastrophic occurred in Wade's (Deadpool) timeline that the timeline is intended to just whither and die. What event was that? The death of LOGAN. Deadpool is offered a job with the TVA since his timeline is going to be snuffed out. Instead, Deadpool decides to return Wolverine, ANY WOLVERINE, to the timeline to save it. 
 
After that the rest of the movie is an action packed, foul-mouthed, homo-erotic joy-ride. The cast is great. The special effects are great. The cameos are fun. The villains are hateful. The good guys are lovable. HEY! A GOOD MARVEL MOVIE FOR A CHANGE! I hope Kevin Feige watched it and took notes. 
 
The movie is two hours and seven minutes of entertainment, and do be sure to stay for the POST-credits scene. Yes, there are some BTS clips during the credits, but there is one more knee-slapper as a parting gift. At this point the movie has grossed more than one billion dollars worldwide and when i went to see it, a 10:25 AM showing on a Wednesday the theater was FULL. Kudos to Ryan and Hugh for making the best buddy film in a long time.
