movie review: deadpool & wolverine (2024)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5/5)

The merc with a mouth meets the gruffest mutant around in Deadpool & Wolverine, and the result is everything fans could have hoped for: a chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt ride through the Marvel multiverse. Directed by Shawn Levy, the film balances irreverent humour, high-octane action, and a dynamic duo that’s as dysfunctional as it is unforgettable. Say what you want about Marvel, I had fun with this one.

What Works:

  • Action Sequences: From multiverse-hopping battles to fourth-wall-breaking hijinks, the film delivers on its promise of spectacular action with a healthy dose of absurdity, despite the low stakes. Cause, ya know, regenerative abilities.
  • Comedy: Deadpool’s signature meta-humor is dialled up to perfection, with Wolverine’s no-nonsense attitude serving as the grumpy x sunshine you never knew you needed. Expect plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and sly nods to Marvel fans.
  • Surprises: Cameos and plot twists abound, adding layers of fun and unpredictability without derailing the story.
  • Emotional Depth: Beneath the sarcasm and chaos lies an unexpectedly poignant exploration of friendship, redemption, and finding your place in a world that never quite fits.

What Could Be Better:

While the film is a blast, some of the multiverse elements feel a bit overstuffed, and not all jokes land equally. A tighter narrative focus could have elevated it further.

Final Thoughts:

Deadpool & Wolverine is the perfect blend of mayhem and heart, giving fans of both characters everything they’ve been waiting for. It’s a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously while delivering on all fronts—action, humor, and even a few gut-punching emotional moments.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Whether you’re here for the snark, the claws, or the chaos, Deadpool & Wolverine is one wild ride you don’t want to miss.
