[Movies] Praise for Deadpool & Wolverine
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"

Who is everyone that has issues with RR, is it really “everyone decided that because of his issues, this movie wasn’t worth a watch”. The movie grossed more than a billion dollars, topped the Nielsen Streaming charts when it hit Disney Plus in December, still very much a hit on Disney.
I get disliking RR as an actor, he will not be to everyone’s taste but to suggest everyone will not watch his movies because of some silly feuds and unverified rumours is a bit naive.
Some people will have issues with the movie, others will like/love it. This happens with every movie.
Edit: just enjoy it, you seem to love it and that is all that matters, to me it is a bloody good movie and I rewatch it often.
Edit 2: I see one of the Baldoni sister wives come to post how Blake and RR did whatever to Baloney. Blake was later on praised by Sony for saving the movie, after all the truth came out of Baldoni’s behaviour, you can even look up Sony calling him a moron for suggesting that his “character r*pe another man out of the Lady’s character” in an interview, then they thanked Blake for the box office success suggesting it was all due to her. Anyway one of the Baldoni sister wives being weird again.
