Deadpool & Wolverine (5 Stars)


It's good to be back in the cinema again, and what better film to watch than the new Deadpool film, "Deadpool & Wolverine"? I went to see the film with trepidation after reading that Ryan Reynolds had disagreements about the refilming of the film's third act. I feared the worst. Was it going to be another "Marvels"? I needn't have worried. I enjoyed the film from beginning to end.

It's a multiverse saga. That's another thing that made me groan when I read about the film in its early production days. Again, I was pleasantly surprised that the story succeeded. The multiverse was used as as a method of bringing back characters from old "forgotten" films. I shan't name them, because I don't want to rob you of the wow effect that I felt when they appeared on screen.

After watching the film I read reviews by critics who couldn't decide whether it's a good film or a bad film. The story is weak, which is obvious to me, but it's not about the story. The film jumps from one joke to the next, with only short pauses for action. The audience was laughing from beginning to end.


And Wunmi Mosaku is back! That's enough of a reason to watch the film!

"Deadpool & Wolverine" is my favourite film of the year so far.

  1. I'd been avoiding news on the film, so Wunmi Mosaku was a Spoiler for me. But i totally agree with your assessment. I was hoping she'd show up again.

    1. Normally I avoid reading about any film that I intend to see. In the case of "Deadpool & Wolverine" it was impossible to avoid the reviews. There's been so much talk about it for months.

      I'm glad you're a Wunmi fan. Well, I wouldn't call myself a fan. I just like her super-sexy appearance as Hunter B-15.

    2. Yeah, that's how it was for me, too. Loki is the first place i saw her, and i was real happy that her part turned out to be as big as it was.
      So not really a "Fan" fan yet, but she's a bright blip on my radar now.
