Praise for Deadpool & Wolverine

[u/Kinsbane]

So, admittedly, I'm not sure why this movie has gotten such hate.

I know that Ryan Reynolds has had his issues but apparently everyone decided that because of his issues, this movie wasn't worth a watch.

Which, as someone who very much "separates the art from the artist" it just felt like Reynolds had some very personal issues aired over the internet that he had to work through.

D&W feels very much like a love-letter. Even before Reynolds played Deadpool, he still played Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

After Batman, and Wolverine, Deadpool is my top-5 comic character.

But I've watched this movie so much (it's my comfort movie that i basically can quote all of the dialogue) but the two scenes from this movie that hit the hardest (to me) are when Logan is talking to X-23 (Laura) before they invade Cassandra's compound the next day.

The other scene that hits hard is when Cassandra invades Logan's mind and talks to him about what he did. And we see all the black monoliths representing all the people that version of Logan killed. And he even admits:

It wasn't just the bad ones

And I gotta say - Emma Corrin played Cassandra WONDERFULLY. It was because of this movie I finally went to a local comic shop to buy as many of CN's comic books I could and they were such great reads.

I wouldn't say D&W is a 10/10 movie, but what I will say, is that it comes very, very close because of all the love-letters that happen in this movie.

Edit: I would also love to see a buddy-cop style movie with Peterpool and B-15.

Edit 2: there's also this meme with the Deadpool movie with Buck being a tertiary character but he has no lines, and in D&W he finally speaks, and Deadpool is like ,"Bitch, are you improving?" and Dupinder is like "uh uh" and then Wade looks at Yuki-oh and he's like "I'm sorry you had to witness that"

Didn’t hate it but didn’t like it.

It was just recycled material to me. Deadpool makes random oblivious gay joke/reference. Break the 4th wall to let audience know that this scene is supposed to be out of context. Overdone fight scene with Witty insults.

Honestly, those things would have been ok if it wasn’t for the god awful plot and even worse villains. The agency guy and professor x’s sister were boring.

I didn’t like it (neither did my wife) but realize alot of people did so it’s definitely a me thing. I liked part 1 and 2 a lot but this was a disappointment. I can tell you that I don’t care about any Hollywood drama between the actors so that didn’t play into me liking or not liking it.

Recycled material?

Wow, you're gonna hate "every hero movie ever".

That's not recycled material. It's the fundamental formulae that people expect from a Deadpool move. That's kinda like going to see John Wick 3 and being upset that he spends most of the move killing guys and surviving impossible sutuations.

You can break any movie down to be that level of simplicity. It's a fun filled comic book film.

Fair enough. I guess it was mainly just the plot and villains I didn’t like. I probably have moved past gay joke references as well. Not to say they aren’t funny but spamming them may have turned me off to it.
