I was surprised to find out that "Deadpool & Wolverine" is already
streaming on Disney Plus. I would have known if I'd occasionally logged in.
As my readers know, I'm not much of a streaming fan. That doesn't mean I'm
against streaming in principle. I have friends who boycott the streaming
services. I wouldn't go that far. I need Netflix and the others to watch films
that haven't been released on disc yet; or worse still, films like
"Veneciafrenia"
that will never be released on disc. Streaming services are also useful for me
to watch films out of curiosity that I'm not sure I like.
I'm getting off topic. Concerning "Deadpool & Wolverine", I'm surprised
that it's gone to streaming so soon. It's less than three months since it left
the cinemas. Usually that's the sign that a film had performed badly at the
box office, but that's hardly the case with "Deadpool & Wolverine". It's
the second highest grossing film of the year so far, second only to
"Inside Out 2".
It's a good film, though not up to the quality of the first two films. On the
other hand, it's hilarious. There are non-stop in-jokes about the politics of
the film studios behind the scenes. Not secret politics, of course. All Marvel
fans have been reading what's going on with one company being bought by
another.
I shan't write any more for now. I'll wait until I buy the film on Blu-ray,
although I suspect that it'll only be a brief plot summary. The film isn't
about the plot, it's about the jokes.
