The violence in Deadpool & Wolverine is as gratuitous as it is delightful and fun with a capital F! Especially with such remarkable fight choreography, style, music and dialogue – not to mention the smartly hued fake blood.

Director Shawn Levy’s film would be almost perfect, for me, if it weren’t for that one character who was a delight to see until they started to speak. My, my, did I get woken up from the wonderful world of a movie I was so fully immersed in. Luckily, a much-needed quip I wish had come a bit sooner did what it could to alleviate some of the unease caused by this bubble-burster of an occurrence. One forced upon an unsuspecting audience who were in the throes of that pure, cinematic joy the movie created.

Thankfully, said character didn’t speak for too long, and there was another surprise character I was so happy to see that I could continue to enjoy the rest of the movie. Several unexpected characters turn up in Deadpool & Wolverine. Not everyone’s favourite will be the same, but all the characters are fun.

Since the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, phrases similar to ‘pure cinematic joy’ have been thrown around more than once when describing the experience of watching Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s record-breaking summer hit. ‘Fully accurate’ is my response to those descriptions. So, get yourself a slice of the action. You deserve it! 

Happy Film Loving,
