This movie is fan service. Pure unadulterated gold plated fan service. I am a fan, I was serviced. I had an absolutely great time and laughed out loud more often than I can I remember. Huge thumbs up from me.
Gold-plated just like a pair of .50 Action Express Magnum Research Desert Eagle Model L6 handguns. Or as Wade would put it, .50 calibre Desert Eagle pistoleros.
Very well put. It was pretty much exactly what I wanted it to be. A hilarious odd-couple road-trip action comedy. Some of the jokes are overtly hilarious and some are really subtly hilarious and overall I laughed out loud the entire run-time
I was worried people might get confused by the TVA but I think they did fine in explaining who they are without going overboard. Also as big fan of Loki I'm glad it didn't clash with what happened there.
i love that deadpool also has a little jab at the kinds of people who always complain about not being caught up on all the overarching lore. was a great bit. as it turns out, good movies actually make it so you don't need that kind of background knowledge to enjoy them.
The post Credit Scene is when Henry Cavil as Sentry turns to Ben Affleck as Daredevil while they are both looking at Lady Deadpool played by Taylor Swift and says "Is She with you" and Daredevil replies "Son of a Martha! I thought she was with you"
The one thing you mentioned that I have seen is people saying this movie is nothing but cameos but these cameos are kinda the best cameos have been in these mcu movies
They are also Cameos used properly. All the characters had a plot or thematic purpose which used their pop culture/metatextual status to reinforce their role in the film. Blade, Gambit and Elektra brought up not being allowed to even fight for their universes (a.k.a. franchises).
This is a fan-service film AND the "Goodbye" to the Fox films that the fans for those movies never got. Think of The Flash, as Nando mentioned, but where there is a real and thought-out intent behind what they are doing.
There's a lot of stuff in this movie where if you aren't in the know you might get pretty confused BUT none of that happens with the character journeys of our titular heroes which was the right writing decision
I really liked the Casandra nova. It’s nice to get a yeah they are just evil villain and while there was not a power signature per se I really liked how they visualized her power.
agreed 100 percent I'm gen z (2005) and I knew and enjoyed all the needle drops, I think a lot of millennials and older forget how iconic these songs are and how relevant they still are today
As a gen-zer ('02), we know the song. We grew up listening to it either from our parents or siblings, from media, from any variety pop radio station, or from memes.
😂 this made me laugh I needed that thank you though I also totally agree. Endgame is like the main course of a 6 course meal. You're full. you're happy. You've gotten plenty of good food up till then, not all of it was perfect, but it was a lot and it was satisfying. This one felt like 5 guys and fries, at 12 am. Like you're still getting a lot of food, and it's late night so people are coming from bars so there's more coarse language and sexual jokes going on and , you're still gonna end up satisfied, but there's not as much variety there and the fries and burger might not be the best most cohesive thing, but it still left you with a full belly.
the one cameo that's in the scene with a motorcycle, I feel like I could've been given a thousand guesses and I still wouldn't have picked THAT PERSON as being in this movie lol like I don't even really understand why, but it was still kinda fun
yeah totally, and oh my god it worked so well.. and without spoiling things, i did think that the madripoor variant was going to be someone else entirely
This is a movie that superhero fans, people who have charted the history of the superhero movie, will love. As a film it's OKAY. Light emotional threads, decent action, with some really cool performances, and mostly good humor. But for deep fans of this industry and its past, it's a love letter to everything that's come before.
I don't particularly agree. I am a deep cut guy, but I found the movie to be very superficial. I don't think that makes me not a fan of superhero movies. I was just tired, it felt grating.
No, you can barely call this a film. It's filled with action, killing random characters no one gives a shit about, hence there's no emotion, Wolverine's backstory is just bare and shallow. Instead of bringing in characters like Omega Red, Silver Samurai, they decide that the best course of action is to use the same character. Ironically the movie has the same fault as The Flash, which comparing D&W to that is sort of blasphemy but too much of one thing is a bad thing.
@@MasoomRana I definitely agree, most of the arguments I've seen in favour of this film are basically related to fan service and humor, which pretty much is all Marvel has been focusing in the latest years. Once you leave that aside the film doesn't have much to offer and it's even more painful that is marketed as a goodbye for the Fox X-Men universe but doesn't feature a single X-Men member cameo aside from Wolverine.
I had such an absolute blast watching D&W, but I really, really appreciate seeing a take like this that's so reasonable and understanding about the movie's strengths and weaknesses. More film discussion should be this balanced and fair... Great work, man.
ya know what, it just hit me, I wonder if they ever considered even broaching the idea of asking Dougray Scott to play one of the "alternate Wolverines" during that montage
I have to say, rewatching your DP&W pitch video after watching the movie, I'm impressed with how much of the spirit of the movie you predicted, if not the specific details. But it does *feel* like your pitch, if they swapped out Mojo as the villain for the TVA (which I don't consider a spoiler, he fights them in the trailer) And I also want to brag that I was right about that scene taking place at Wolverine's grave like I predicted
after everyone pissing on marvel, its good to have someone who just says, if you like marvel, you will like this. thank you, now I feel okay with watching this.
@@Tymbus i think it will be hard to critcize DP3 for any political reasons. It took the South Park school of comedy: everything is okay to make fun of or nothing is. Also Daniel Tosh take on cancel culture: you will only be cancelled if the jokes don't land- that just means you lack the comedy chops and should do better. DP3 was politically agnostic, took shots at everyone, and made several out of pocket jokes without apology ("Did you say I'm retarded?" is a risky joke in 2024)
@@Tymbus Don't know why that's surprising to you. They hire shitty writers who don't have any respect for the lore, or give instructions to the showrunners to not read comics. They're asking for this controversy and then pretending it's the fans fault.
Since I’ve seen no one else mention it yet: we can now officially confirm that Fox’s love of forests has been transferred to the MCU. Opening fucking scene at that! 🌲
"If you think you'll have fun, you probably will, if you don't, you probably won't". This is actually such an apt description. This movie really is made for the fans. If you don't like super hero movies, then this won't change your mind.
I definitely get it. A friend of mine asked if they should see this movie, and I said "if you like deadpool, you'll really like this movie." That's not to say it's a bad movie, it's just that this is the third movie in a trilogy and while I'm sure there are people who could enjoy this movie without having enjoyed the other two, I don't get why they'd want to see it.
Peter having nipple piercings and chains then saying that’s the fun part when someone pulls on it was the funniest part for me I was still laughing during the important dialogue it just killed me
Maybe not the best Deadpool movie or Wolverine movie, but they're two great tastes that taste great together. I had a ton of fun and so did everybody else in my theater. (Also, I highly recommend watching the Hot Ones episode with Reynolds and Jackman.)
As a gen zer, the opening song worked perfectly. I think most gen z have heard the song enough times growing up that the opening scene paired with that song did what they wanted it to do
my favourite scene from the film is when agent paradox pretends to mourn deadpool and wolverine, then when they're alive he shouts "FUCK" and iris by googoo dolls plays, something about that was so funny to me
I disagree about your stance on cameos. If I know about certain cameos before it taints my enjoyment. We all knew about Laura because of the last trailer. If I had known about 2 of the cameos, I would've been pissed. When the "skier" walked out, I lost my sh#t and they said the "thing". And the "motorcyclist" too. Chef's mfkn kiss!👏👏👏
I'm really excited about watching this because I really liked the first 2 Deadpool movies and the trailers looked good. I'm going to see it soon. I didn't see it already because I don't like watching movies in crowded theaters.
I am fully on board with your ask for power signatures. Especially when they're going to add so many hand-wavy characters, it's becoming more and more necessary and they need to try it at least once in live action to see how well it works.
Another criticism I have is the bland visuals. One would expect a more unconventional look to a movie when he's able to address himself being in a movie. Shawn Levy has never been a strong director and it's stated once again with this. They should've gone with Matthew Vaughn (They even already got his cinematographer, George Richmond, for this!). He's got spice for visuals, and he's done R-rated action comedies. Another director I have in mind would Gore Verbinski. Admittedly, he's currently serving "Director's Jail", so it's unlikely. Mr. Reynolds and the rest of the filmmakers should've just seek influences from French and Japanese comedies for inspiration. Master the genre; don't just make fun the conventions, play with them. As to not further be a Debbie Downer, I'll leave a compliment: Hugh Jackman is damn good in this.
Great review. I liked it a lot generally, though did have some plot issues. Nice to see a review that gives this praise it deserves, without veering into "best thing since Endgame/single-handledly saving MCU" territory.
This movie was everything I ever wanted, and then some. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see the cover in Uncanny X-Men #251 come to life on film in such a badass way, or a fight between Deadpool and one-handed Age of Apocalypse Logan, in an alley at night. Like, wtf! This is the movie of the year and probably the no. 1 MCU film in history, for me.
I agree with you. The only thing I'd add is Im not sure this movie will age well, a lot of the references are of this era of marvel, superheroes, references etc. Movies that lean into that super hard usually feel like a relic of that time and not a timeless classic
This movie is basically The Flash movie if it worked. The problem is, and it's big, The Flash movie is wrong on a concept level. So even if this worked, it still doesn't. I like Nando's pitch better. On a positive note, Hugh Jackman's acting is beautiful. If it was a person, I'd marry her.
I'd argue that this is just one of the more comic bookie comic book movies. By that I mean, it's a major crossover comic book event. There are a lot of characters that enter and exit the stage, all of whom have varying roles and degrees of impact. I would argue that the "cameos" are a whole lot less cameos than people are really aware. There ARE cameos, but theres also a whole lot more minor supporting characters than cameos. Again, its characters entering and exiting stage. Put it like this: we don't think of IW and Endgame as cameo fests... but a lot of the "cameos" in DP & W have as much scenes and screentime as the majority of characters in IW or Endgame.
For the record, The Flash movie is not wrong nor comic inaccurate. The concept is fine. The lack of clear direction and execution is what kills it. That's it.
@@thebossrayden For the record, it is wrong, and it is also inaccurate. That movie was awful, and so was the concept. Taking some shitty grocery off the shelves, as if it would change history, sure, and making a Flash movie without Reverse Flash doesn't work. Having two Ezra Millers also doesn't work because the guy's a cancer. The director of that movie never read a comic in his life. Should stick to making shitty movies.
For the "core audience" it's good, for people who watch Marvel movies but don't follow the comics it's just a lot of noise, but they feel like they have to see it to keep up with later material.
@@kadegetslaid634 yeah but that kinda goes without saying at this point right? I’m seeing a lot of marvel fans themselves not really digging this one but to me its significantly better than most of their recent releases.
Best part of this film, like the best of this franchise, is that it hangs a huge lampshade on the whole MCU and especially the multiverse era. The references and cameos are all over the place and if you know your superhero films you’ll have a blast.
1:25 There is this notion that we’re over saturated in comic movies. Let’s be clear on this: They tried hard to crack the code since Superman in 1977. Superman 2 was good but plagued with issues. Then the franchise fell off a cliff until 1989 Batman. Then that franchise fell off a cliff. Between 92 & 2008 we had Blade, Spiderman & Batman Begins. But there were also a HOST of crappy one offs where there’s a good guy who gets “powers” and a mirror bad guy who dies at the end. That was every single one of them. I never ever imagined we’d live in a world where FINALLY films have cameos by other comic characters (in their costumes no less!!). And there’s a larger storyline that every film plays into. Did it get ornery after Endgame? YES. Can every film or show be a massive $billion hit? NO!! But I like that IronHeart is going to be a show. That’s perfect for D+. She has fans. Not ‘lead a movie’ fans. But a show? Perfect. Same with Agatha. DP&W is in that space that makes me the most happy: full of characters, referencing other movies & setting up the future while paying homage to the past. I love it.
Funny thing about this being sponsored by Nebula... I saw this video come up on TH-cam and immediately went to Nebula to watch it there, but it wasn't to be found.
I really agree with Paradox using the Deadpool corp as his muscle instead of Cassandra having lied to them about its original purpose. "Boss Man says if we kill you two, he'll use that thing to send us back our original timelines, but fix it so we'll matter". And Wade kind of sees how selfish his original wish was. Idk Im not a script writer, but I do feel that leaving Cassandra in the void after hearing how much charles loved her to do one nice thing would be a fitting send off. Paradox having an army of spin-offs at his command would be very fitting for Disney tbh
The opening bit absolutely landed for 22 year old me. I think that song and choreography is enough of a cultural touchstone for people my age to get it but maybe younger people would not. I think the action in that scene is so fun that people will like it anyway
Something occurred to me when Deadpool meets a certain group of people in the Void. It reminded me of another meta theatrical story, Six Characters in Search of an Author where the characters know they are fictional. The Void is where characters go when they no longer exist in a story, or never had a story, and now they just want their story to end on a high note. This really suits Deadpool, a character who breaks the 4th wall all the time.
I’m sooo glad that we’re finally starting to step out of the era of leather costumes and putting actors in costumes made of cloth. It just looks so much better on screen than leather. And no, I will not count the recent set photos of Superman with Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner because I think those leather costumes were done crappy on purpose and they’ll get their ACTUAL costumes later on
I think there's a giant potential that this movie missed in favor of being something average. Deadpool's fourth wall breaking ability and the TVA's authority and function could've been a set-up to a truly unique conflict. I could picture this movie raising philosophical questions about the multiverse and our place in it, and if it gets too confusing for the audience, Deadpool is there to directly break it down. Now, I'm aware Loki already somewhat did this, but Deadpool is actually aware he's in a movie. It's disappointing that the movie settles the conflict via another and plain "beat the bad guy" matter. *[Spoiler]* It'd also be more personal if Deadpool is only fighting for his timeline, instead of putting the entire multiverse in jeopardy.
They had a certain character that "cameoed", who's costume I didn't really like and I think it was easily fixable. But I also liked that they had a lot of film production jokes I thought that was really fun
I found Deadpool 1 and 2 to be like, the most middle of the road perfect split movies maybe I’ve ever seen. They are almost 1:1 ratio of incredibly entertaining and incredibly grating. This might just be me but for the direction they took this one it served the Deadpool gimmick a lot more. I kind of feel like the fourth wall self referential shtick is a little lazy and dull when the punchline is just referencing or acknowledging a random thing, but giving a major focus on the mechanics of specifically the marvel universe this time and having the jokes sort of grounded in that context is just a lot more fun and less “haha random reference” and I liked that. I also think they just commit to the idea so much more than just offhand quip, and it doesn’t feel nearly as eye rolley when they go all in and do things like fight in front of big broken 20th century fox logos and see clips of other marvel films and use it for the storytelling. Not to say everything worked for me, it certainly did not and I felt kind of exhausted by the end of this film, but I did think it was a lot of fun overall. Might go see it again in theaters just to catch anything I missed but overall I probably won’t return to it much similarly to how the first two movies were also kind of one and done for me. I really liked cable and colossus and (maybe this sounds contradictory to the rest of what I’ve said) the less grand-scale celebratory nature of the first two because it makes them a little more standalone dumb fun friendly, to the point where I’d say 2 is still my favorite of the three but they’re all pretty similar overall and I enjoyed my time. Really loved Wolverine here especially since I love the X Men characters and stories and just liked what they did with him and think Deadpool is generally just more interesting when paired with a straight man or ensemble that makes his contrast a part of the joke rather than it being the primary focus. Fun time and I just enjoyed going to the movies with my family so it was well worth the trip
I really appreciate this nuanced take. I walked away with a similar feeling of being exhausted by it, all the shtick and fourth wall self referencing just washes over me at a time and becomes dull. I don’t think there’s many (if anyone) other ppl who can play Deadpool other than Ryan Reynolds but I also feel Everytime I walk away from a Deadpool movie I get a headache from him and his talking just like the other characters in the film. That being said i definitely enjoyed a lot of this movie and had some dumb thoughtless fun but by the end I was just tired and underwhelmed.
I just saw the movie this morning with my best friend and we LOVED IT. There were a lot of wonderful cameos, jokes and moments in the film that touched my soul. In an effort to be vague and not spoil the who/what, I will just say the movie spoke to the little kid who grew up watching superhero movies before the MCU was a big deal. The homage is very heartfelt and I think it works with the character arcs in the movie. Please, give us more tie ins like this if they can be weaved into a story naturally! I loved the action and violence in the film. I thought it was the right level of bloody for an R-rated film without feeling over the top or like it was there for shock value. I think there's potential for more gritty comic violence in Marvel movies like this. There were some very creepy/unsettling powers being used that should have been in movies like Doctor Strange. I hope this movie means we can see more Mutants in the future! I miss them so much!
I had a lot of fun watching the movie but I went with my gf and she's watched most mcu films pre-end game and the first deadpool movie and she kinda had a tough time following along. I think that it was hard for her bc not only did she need mcu background (movies and tv shows), but she also needed to know about the xmen and other fox movies and the real lives of the actors to really cackle along with the rest of us. Not to say Deadpool v Wolverine shouldn't be that specific, but it just makes it a harder movie to see with friends. And I also think that after watching it the first time, the subsequent watchings won't be as fun because you know all the surprises and then you're left with just the story.
This movie (and kind of No Way Home, as well) was kind of a nice little love letter to those of us who grew up as kids with the pre-MCU Marvel movies. Like a, "Hey, we know some of you out there liked this pre/non-MCU stuff when you were growing up, we're gonna give specifically you guys something nice for once." Or it was a cynical attempt to pander to our nostalgia for an easy buck. Or both. All i know is, I had a good time at the theater. And i definitely didn't get choked up watching the credits montage of the old movies' casts behind the scenes footage while the Green Day song played. Nope, the theater was just really dusty...
I think my favorite part was the first action scene with Deadpool. The idea of the fight was really funny to me and I thought it was really awesome. Also, I really wanted a popcorn bucket, but my theater was sold out and I was sad. I had to eat popcorn out of a normal disposable bucket.
I love Fox Universe, and the Deadpool movies and this was my favorite of the 3 this is non spoilers so I can't get into why but it's hilarious and I love it
Okay, how is this for a hot take. Love all the Deadpool films & they are are hilarious, but the funniest sequence ever in Marvel is the Flerkens eating all the unwilling humans to save them in The Marvels,
I loved it! My favourite Deadpool movie, even. I was really pleased with how far they pushed the boat out. The first scene in the movie had me laughing. P.S. what are your thoughts on the new marvel legends reveals? Who ever thought we'd get figures of Wong or Rom??
I loved it! I have been *_REALLY_* tired of Marvel post-Endgame. I didn’t even like Deadpool 2 very much. I laughed harder and enjoyed myself more than I have in a Deadpool movie or even a superhero movie in years.
11:52 I disagree. One, she clearly got some chromatic aberation on her powers so that counts, plus you could see the fingers as a signature, but I personally don’t love telekinesis when it looks like a power beam or explosion
I didn't love it but the A(straight) cinemascore shows I am in the minority, glad people are digging it! I must say i do vastly prefer variants being *our* characters versus *a* deadpool, or *a* [REDACTED], contuining andrew garfield's (the one we know) story is just more compelling than if it was some random spiderman, that's what these multiverse movies CAN miss (but not all obviously, the spiderverses do it this way and still rule it certainly can be done!).
Random specific question, does this movie spoil any of infinity war or endgame? I’m getting my partner through the first three phases of the MCU and I’m trying to be careful.
not really, i mean you'll find call backs to the movies if you're looking for it. but for someone who isn't familiar with all the events that happened in the franchise, they wouldn't really catch them, and even if they do it won't "spoil" anything without that context of prior movies
I hate the "Best Marvel movie since Endgame". Because first of all, Endgame is overrated. Secondly, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 exists, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man: No Way Home (as much as I personally have problems with it structurally and dislike that it just brings back older versions of characters for nostalgia bait, it is a good movie), and, uh... Eternals, too. I quite liked Eternals. So even IF Endgame was as good as people say it is, this isn't the only good movie, let alone the best movie, to come out since then.
I think the best way to describe this movie is sort of as a love letter to Marvel/MCU as a whole. The movie calls out Marvel for a lot of the things that they tend to do, but it always felt tongue in cheek. Really liked it, also didn't expect it to as emotional as it was
***SPOILERS*** What was your favorite cameo? I loved Chris Evans Johnny Storm and Happy Hogan. I never would’ve expected them and that post credit scene was hilarious. I also loved Laura/X23 although she was spoiled in the trailers
@@kiana.malcolm Channing Tatum as Gambit the The dude has been camping to play the character for more than a decade and he finally got his chance the powers were perfectly realized and his suit was just "chef's kiss" he even had the dumb head stocking

endgame smart hulk was dumber than anything deadpool could have ever done
The cameos actually impacted the story that was the best part of them
Yeah, it was a nice midway between spiderman NWH cameos being key characters vs multiverse of madness where they said like 2 lines then died
Avoiding spoilers while working at a theater is a herculean task; watching it tomorrow tho!

Yeah I also loved how Paradox hates that they can't just prune branches now. It really makes sense because there's no way everybody just accepted it.
Hugh's jokes were perfect. "Shutting the fuck up is also free" is my favorite joke of his.
I know they were saying Like A Prayer is going to blow up again, but personally, I think Bye Bye Bye is going to be the one

I'd argue her hands moving through other people was her signature and it looked horrific in the best way.

the movie was a love letter to 2000s/late 90s hero fans.
ya know what, it just hit me, I wonder if they ever considered even broaching the idea of asking Dougray Scott to play one of the "alternate Wolverines" during that montage
I have to say, rewatching your DP&W pitch video after watching the movie, I'm impressed with how much of the spirit of the movie you predicted, if not the specific details. But it does *feel* like your pitch, if they swapped out Mojo as the villain for the TVA (which I don't consider a spoiler, he fights them in the trailer)
And I also want to brag that I was right about that scene taking place at Wolverine's grave like I predicted
after everyone pissing on marvel, its good to have someone who just says, if you like marvel, you will like this. thank you, now I feel okay with watching this.
Yes, I'm bored with people who hate any MCU product for their own political reasons. I often wonder if they've even seen the actual films.
@@Tymbus i think it will be hard to critcize DP3 for any political reasons. It took the South Park school of comedy: everything is okay to make fun of or nothing is. Also Daniel Tosh take on cancel culture: you will only be cancelled if the jokes don't land- that just means you lack the comedy chops and should do better.
DP3 was politically agnostic, took shots at everyone, and made several out of pocket jokes without apology ("Did you say I'm retarded?" is a risky joke in 2024)
What I notice is 2 things ppl do not know how to watch movies anymore and also hate watch if they have a platform for money 😮
@@Tymbus Don't know why that's surprising to you. They hire shitty writers who don't have any respect for the lore, or give instructions to the showrunners to not read comics. They're asking for this controversy and then pretending it's the fans fault.
Loved when Wolverine ripped off his Mission Impossible face mask and it turns out it was Dougray Scott the whole time
Since I’ve seen no one else mention it yet: we can now officially confirm that Fox’s love of forests has been transferred to the MCU. Opening fucking scene at that! 🌲
oh my 2am Nando vid arrived on time
It's 11:16 AM in my timezone, so it's perfect for me.
Almost 5am🥲
@michealarwood7488 Same here lol, was finally about to go to bed
"If you think you'll have fun, you probably will, if you don't, you probably won't". This is actually such an apt description. This movie really is made for the fans. If you don't like super hero movies, then this won't change your mind.
I definitely get it. A friend of mine asked if they should see this movie, and I said "if you like deadpool, you'll really like this movie." That's not to say it's a bad movie, it's just that this is the third movie in a trilogy and while I'm sure there are people who could enjoy this movie without having enjoyed the other two, I don't get why they'd want to see it.
Dude when cyclops comes out with the punisher!!!
I was absolutely sobbing and blown away when Doctor Doom saved that pony's life. What an incredible character arc!
Peter having nipple piercings and chains then saying that’s the fun part when someone pulls on it was the funniest part for me I was still laughing during the important dialogue it just killed me
Maybe not the best Deadpool movie or Wolverine movie, but they're two great tastes that taste great together. I had a ton of fun and so did everybody else in my theater. (Also, I highly recommend watching the Hot Ones episode with Reynolds and Jackman.)
I had the most fun with this one, since Endgame. Endgame in theaters is still an experience I'll never forget.
Thank you so much for no spoilers! I can’t see it until next weekend and my whole feed has been just that. I appreciate your videos Nando!
I want a Deadpool movie to be in the Mojoverse, no way Deadpool saved Shatterstar and they're not doing anything about it.
True! Also would love to see Longshot!
Thanks for not spoiling!
As a gen zer, the opening song worked perfectly. I think most gen z have heard the song enough times growing up that the opening scene paired with that song did what they wanted it to do
So glad you made such a beefy spoiler free review. Everyone talks about it for 5 minutes before spoiling it. Always appreciate your work!
One of the best openings to a movie of all time
The most fun Marvel movie in recent memory and a fantastic send off to the fox marvel movies and those that came before that.
my favourite scene from the film is when agent paradox pretends to mourn deadpool and wolverine, then when they're alive he shouts "FUCK" and iris by googoo dolls plays, something about that was so funny to me
I disagree about your stance on cameos. If I know about certain cameos before it taints my enjoyment. We all knew about Laura because of the last trailer. If I had known about 2 of the cameos, I would've been pissed. When the "skier" walked out, I lost my sh#t and they said the "thing". And the "motorcyclist" too. Chef's mfkn kiss!👏👏👏
I'm really excited about watching this because I really liked the first 2 Deadpool movies and the trailers looked good. I'm going to see it soon. I didn't see it already because I don't like watching movies in crowded theaters.
I am fully on board with your ask for power signatures. Especially when they're going to add so many hand-wavy characters, it's becoming more and more necessary and they need to try it at least once in live action to see how well it works.
Another criticism I have is the bland visuals. One would expect a more unconventional look to a movie when he's able to address himself being in a movie. Shawn Levy has never been a strong director and it's stated once again with this.
They should've gone with Matthew Vaughn (They even already got his cinematographer, George Richmond, for this!). He's got spice for visuals, and he's done R-rated action comedies.
Another director I have in mind would Gore Verbinski. Admittedly, he's currently serving "Director's Jail", so it's unlikely.
Mr. Reynolds and the rest of the filmmakers should've just seek influences from French and Japanese comedies for inspiration. Master the genre; don't just make fun the conventions, play with them.
As to not further be a Debbie Downer, I'll leave a compliment: Hugh Jackman is damn good in this.
My one nitpick with the Wolverine suit is they didn't leave the shoulderpads after removing the sleeves, that would have looked perfect
Great review. I liked it a lot generally, though did have some plot issues. Nice to see a review that gives this praise it deserves, without veering into "best thing since Endgame/single-handledly saving MCU" territory.
Mr Paradox is a variant of Tom Wambsgans. Can't convince me otherwise.
This movie was everything I ever wanted, and then some. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see the cover in Uncanny X-Men #251 come to life on film in such a badass way, or a fight between Deadpool and one-handed Age of Apocalypse Logan, in an alley at night. Like, wtf! This is the movie of the year and probably the no. 1 MCU film in history, for me.
I agree with you. The only thing I'd add is Im not sure this movie will age well, a lot of the references are of this era of marvel, superheroes, references etc. Movies that lean into that super hard usually feel like a relic of that time and not a timeless classic
Also loved seeing XMEN 97 episode five guy.....DOING THEIR THING DURING THE FIGHT SCENES!!! ALL I EVER WANTED....they were there for me lol
It was a bit strange that the entire deadpool squad from the 1st two movies didn’t get to participate in the story. Where was Domino??
Most of the movie took place out of deadpools world so we didn't see his environment much. We got Peter though 😂
This movie is basically The Flash movie if it worked. The problem is, and it's big, The Flash movie is wrong on a concept level. So even if this worked, it still doesn't. I like Nando's pitch better.
On a positive note, Hugh Jackman's acting is beautiful. If it was a person, I'd marry her.
Exactly, it's a very good version of a bad idea.
I'd argue that this is just one of the more comic bookie comic book movies.
By that I mean, it's a major crossover comic book event. There are a lot of characters that enter and exit the stage, all of whom have varying roles and degrees of impact.
I would argue that the "cameos" are a whole lot less cameos than people are really aware. There ARE cameos, but theres also a whole lot more minor supporting characters than cameos. Again, its characters entering and exiting stage.
Put it like this: we don't think of IW and Endgame as cameo fests... but a lot of the "cameos" in DP & W have as much scenes and screentime as the majority of characters in IW or Endgame.
For the record, The Flash movie is not wrong nor comic inaccurate. The concept is fine. The lack of clear direction and execution is what kills it. That's it.
@@thebossrayden For the record, it is wrong, and it is also inaccurate. That movie was awful, and so was the concept. Taking some shitty grocery off the shelves, as if it would change history, sure, and making a Flash movie without Reverse Flash doesn't work. Having two Ezra Millers also doesn't work because the guy's a cancer.
The director of that movie never read a comic in his life. Should stick to making shitty movies.
@@jasonibanez9855 Not the same. IW and EG are built to be events.
Really curious as to why people are so mixed on this one. I loved it personality felt like a great love letter to these characters
@@peterkefalos7430 bc the third act was the weakest and that can tank a movie for many.
For the "core audience" it's good, for people who watch Marvel movies but don't follow the comics it's just a lot of noise, but they feel like they have to see it to keep up with later material.
It's definitely for marvel fans and no one else, I'm glad about that, have a neitch, you don't gotta cater to everyone
@@kadegetslaid634 yeah but that kinda goes without saying at this point right? I’m seeing a lot of marvel fans themselves not really digging this one but to me its significantly better than most of their recent releases.
“We’re making this one for Nando!” this imagery made me grin :)
Best part of this film, like the best of this franchise, is that it hangs a huge lampshade on the whole MCU and especially the multiverse era. The references and cameos are all over the place and if you know your superhero films you’ll have a blast.
1:25 There is this notion that we’re over saturated in comic movies. Let’s be clear on this: They tried hard to crack the code since Superman in 1977. Superman 2 was good but plagued with issues. Then the franchise fell off a cliff until 1989 Batman. Then that franchise fell off a cliff. Between 92 & 2008 we had Blade, Spiderman & Batman Begins. But there were also a HOST of crappy one offs where there’s a good guy who gets “powers” and a mirror bad guy who dies at the end. That was every single one of them. I never ever imagined we’d live in a world where FINALLY films have cameos by other comic characters (in their costumes no less!!). And there’s a larger storyline that every film plays into. Did it get ornery after Endgame? YES. Can every film or show be a massive $billion hit? NO!! But I like that IronHeart is going to be a show. That’s perfect for D+. She has fans. Not ‘lead a movie’ fans. But a show? Perfect. Same with Agatha.
DP&W is in that space that makes me the most happy: full of characters, referencing other movies & setting up the future while paying homage to the past. I love it.
Funny thing about this being sponsored by Nebula... I saw this video come up on TH-cam and immediately went to Nebula to watch it there, but it wasn't to be found.
The cameos in this movie were much more impactful than those in Multiverse of Madness. They made sense, and brought some catharsis.
I really agree with Paradox using the Deadpool corp as his muscle instead of Cassandra having lied to them about its original purpose. "Boss Man says if we kill you two, he'll use that thing to send us back our original timelines, but fix it so we'll matter". And Wade kind of sees how selfish his original wish was. Idk Im not a script writer, but I do feel that leaving Cassandra in the void after hearing how much charles loved her to do one nice thing would be a fitting send off. Paradox having an army of spin-offs at his command would be very fitting for Disney tbh
The opening bit absolutely landed for 22 year old me. I think that song and choreography is enough of a cultural touchstone for people my age to get it but maybe younger people would not. I think the action in that scene is so fun that people will like it anyway
Something occurred to me when Deadpool meets a certain group of people in the Void. It reminded me of another meta theatrical story, Six Characters in Search of an Author where the characters know they are fictional. The Void is where characters go when they no longer exist in a story, or never had a story, and now they just want their story to end on a high note. This really suits Deadpool, a character who breaks the 4th wall all the time.
Dark tower?
I’m sooo glad that we’re finally starting to step out of the era of leather costumes and putting actors in costumes made of cloth. It just looks so much better on screen than leather. And no, I will not count the recent set photos of Superman with Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner because I think those leather costumes were done crappy on purpose and they’ll get their ACTUAL costumes later on
You forgot to mention the moment where Dr.Doom fights Infamous Iron Man and then Deadpool breaks up the fight with his infinity gauntlet
"quit hitting yourself, victor!"
I think there's a giant potential that this movie missed in favor of being something average.
Deadpool's fourth wall breaking ability and the TVA's authority and function could've been a set-up to a truly unique conflict. I could picture this movie raising philosophical questions about the multiverse and our place in it, and if it gets too confusing for the audience, Deadpool is there to directly break it down. Now, I'm aware Loki already somewhat did this, but Deadpool is actually aware he's in a movie.
It's disappointing that the movie settles the conflict via another and plain "beat the bad guy" matter.
*[Spoiler]*
It'd also be more personal if Deadpool is only fighting for his timeline, instead of putting the entire multiverse in jeopardy.
They had a certain character that "cameoed", who's costume I didn't really like and I think it was easily fixable. But I also liked that they had a lot of film production jokes I thought that was really fun
I found Deadpool 1 and 2 to be like, the most middle of the road perfect split movies maybe I’ve ever seen. They are almost 1:1 ratio of incredibly entertaining and incredibly grating. This might just be me but for the direction they took this one it served the Deadpool gimmick a lot more. I kind of feel like the fourth wall self referential shtick is a little lazy and dull when the punchline is just referencing or acknowledging a random thing, but giving a major focus on the mechanics of specifically the marvel universe this time and having the jokes sort of grounded in that context is just a lot more fun and less “haha random reference” and I liked that. I also think they just commit to the idea so much more than just offhand quip, and it doesn’t feel nearly as eye rolley when they go all in and do things like fight in front of big broken 20th century fox logos and see clips of other marvel films and use it for the storytelling. Not to say everything worked for me, it certainly did not and I felt kind of exhausted by the end of this film, but I did think it was a lot of fun overall. Might go see it again in theaters just to catch anything I missed but overall I probably won’t return to it much similarly to how the first two movies were also kind of one and done for me. I really liked cable and colossus and (maybe this sounds contradictory to the rest of what I’ve said) the less grand-scale celebratory nature of the first two because it makes them a little more standalone dumb fun friendly, to the point where I’d say 2 is still my favorite of the three but they’re all pretty similar overall and I enjoyed my time. Really loved Wolverine here especially since I love the X Men characters and stories and just liked what they did with him and think Deadpool is generally just more interesting when paired with a straight man or ensemble that makes his contrast a part of the joke rather than it being the primary focus. Fun time and I just enjoyed going to the movies with my family so it was well worth the trip
I really appreciate this nuanced take. I walked away with a similar feeling of being exhausted by it, all the shtick and fourth wall self referencing just washes over me at a time and becomes dull. I don’t think there’s many (if anyone) other ppl who can play Deadpool other than Ryan Reynolds but I also feel Everytime I walk away from a Deadpool movie I get a headache from him and his talking just like the other characters in the film. That being said i definitely enjoyed a lot of this movie and had some dumb thoughtless fun but by the end I was just tired and underwhelmed.
I just saw the movie this morning with my best friend and we LOVED IT. There were a lot of wonderful cameos, jokes and moments in the film that touched my soul. In an effort to be vague and not spoil the who/what, I will just say the movie spoke to the little kid who grew up watching superhero movies before the MCU was a big deal. The homage is very heartfelt and I think it works with the character arcs in the movie. Please, give us more tie ins like this if they can be weaved into a story naturally!
I loved the action and violence in the film. I thought it was the right level of bloody for an R-rated film without feeling over the top or like it was there for shock value. I think there's potential for more gritty comic violence in Marvel movies like this. There were some very creepy/unsettling powers being used that should have been in movies like Doctor Strange.
I hope this movie means we can see more Mutants in the future! I miss them so much!
I had a lot of fun watching the movie but I went with my gf and she's watched most mcu films pre-end game and the first deadpool movie and she kinda had a tough time following along. I think that it was hard for her bc not only did she need mcu background (movies and tv shows), but she also needed to know about the xmen and other fox movies and the real lives of the actors to really cackle along with the rest of us. Not to say Deadpool v Wolverine shouldn't be that specific, but it just makes it a harder movie to see with friends. And I also think that after watching it the first time, the subsequent watchings won't be as fun because you know all the surprises and then you're left with just the story.
This movie (and kind of No Way Home, as well) was kind of a nice little love letter to those of us who grew up as kids with the pre-MCU Marvel movies. Like a, "Hey, we know some of you out there liked this pre/non-MCU stuff when you were growing up, we're gonna give specifically you guys something nice for once."
Or it was a cynical attempt to pander to our nostalgia for an easy buck.
Or both.
All i know is, I had a good time at the theater. And i definitely didn't get choked up watching the credits montage of the old movies' casts behind the scenes footage while the Green Day song played. Nope, the theater was just really dusty...
I did not expect you to credit Matthew Macfadyen with Succession over Pride and Prejudice and now I feel my bones ache
A completely by-the-numbers Deadpool movie, but an absolutely phenomenal Wolverine/Hugh Jack tribute of a movie.
I think my favorite part was the first action scene with Deadpool. The idea of the fight was really funny to me and I thought it was really awesome. Also, I really wanted a popcorn bucket, but my theater was sold out and I was sad. I had to eat popcorn out of a normal disposable bucket.
Seen it on the 25th. Great film, fun time.
My fiancé is not a huge fan of marvel stuff and hasn’t seen any of the Fox movies. She wants to see this movie again
I JUST walked out of the theatre for this, and it was goddamn incredible. My wife and I laughed our asses off.
I hated the sleeves in the initial pictures, but they actually didn't bother me in the movie
Watching xmen 97 makes me coming to term with how one should think about those single scene cameos
i'm a zoomer who grew up on the Foxverse, so i loved it, but my friend who's only somewhat familiar with the MCU was completely lost
Greatest superhero suit up scene ever!
I love Fox Universe, and the Deadpool movies and this was my favorite of the 3 this is non spoilers so I can't get into why but it's hilarious and I love it
It was a great movie, totally entertaining and worth a rewatch.
Okay, how is this for a hot take. Love all the Deadpool films & they are are hilarious, but the funniest sequence ever in Marvel is the Flerkens eating all the unwilling humans to save them in The Marvels,
the one deadpool 2 scene is equivilant to the opening of the suicide squad opening scene
Can’t wait for the Doom video tomorrow, lol
I’m so damn ready for your spoiler review. I too left the theater going “holy shit this movie was made for me”.
Just the video I needed trying to fall asleep at 3:15
I loved it. Definitely not my favourite comic book movie but it was so much fun. Loved the cameos
I loved it! My favourite Deadpool movie, even. I was really pleased with how far they pushed the boat out. The first scene in the movie had me laughing.
P.S. what are your thoughts on the new marvel legends reveals? Who ever thought we'd get figures of Wong or Rom??
Yes
Guys....I think Cassandra is doing it for me in this movie....I was loving her powers and performance....and by "doing it for me"......
My favorite cameo in this video is your cat.
I loved it! I have been *_REALLY_* tired of Marvel post-Endgame. I didn’t even like Deadpool 2 very much.
I laughed harder and enjoyed myself more than I have in a Deadpool movie or even a superhero movie in years.
This was so fun, just nice superhero entertainment
11:52 I disagree. One, she clearly got some chromatic aberation on her powers so that counts, plus you could see the fingers as a signature, but I personally don’t love telekinesis when it looks like a power beam or explosion
Movie was amazing
I didn't love it but the A(straight) cinemascore shows I am in the minority, glad people are digging it! I must say i do vastly prefer variants being *our* characters versus *a* deadpool, or *a* [REDACTED], contuining andrew garfield's (the one we know) story is just more compelling than if it was some random spiderman, that's what these multiverse movies CAN miss (but not all obviously, the spiderverses do it this way and still rule it certainly can be done!).
Random specific question, does this movie spoil any of infinity war or endgame? I’m getting my partner through the first three phases of the MCU and I’m trying to be careful.
not really, i mean you'll find call backs to the movies if you're looking for it. but for someone who isn't familiar with all the events that happened in the franchise, they wouldn't really catch them, and even if they do it won't "spoil" anything without that context of prior movies
No. Not at all. The movie may as well be standalone because it's just Deadpool screwing around.
@@tokyofeens thanks, I know that technically deadpool is is in the mcu now so I’m just being careful 👍
Nope!
I hate the "Best Marvel movie since Endgame". Because first of all, Endgame is overrated. Secondly, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 exists, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man: No Way Home (as much as I personally have problems with it structurally and dislike that it just brings back older versions of characters for nostalgia bait, it is a good movie), and, uh... Eternals, too. I quite liked Eternals. So even IF Endgame was as good as people say it is, this isn't the only good movie, let alone the best movie, to come out since then.
I think the best way to describe this movie is sort of as a love letter to Marvel/MCU as a whole. The movie calls out Marvel for a lot of the things that they tend to do, but it always felt tongue in cheek. Really liked it, also didn't expect it to as emotional as it was
***SPOILERS***
What was your favorite cameo? I loved Chris Evans Johnny Storm and Happy Hogan. I never would’ve expected them and that post credit scene was hilarious. I also loved Laura/X23 although she was spoiled in the trailers
Bro the “flame on” scene felt like they were saying “it’s okay that you love the fantastic four movies, we aren’t going to judge you for that”
