Viewer Reviews (TMDb)
Theres not much of a plot and the villains weren't that great. It was a good laugh though and amazing cameos and fight scenes.
shammahrashad · 6/10Its story may not be the strongest, but the comedy makes <em>'Deadpool & Wolverine'</em> an excellent watch! There are some top notch gags in there, particularly to do with the recent offscreen changes for Wade Wilson's alter ego. As you'd expect with Ryan Reynolds in this role,…
r96sk · 9/10_Deadpool & Wolverine_ is the best the MCU has been since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It’s two hours of comic book-driven fan service and delivers entertaining surprises, nostalgic throwbacks, memorable action sequences, and worthwhile performances. **Full review:** https://b…
Chris Sawin · 8/10In moviemaking, sadly, there can be a problem with going to the well too many times, and this latest installment in one of filmdom’s better cinematic franchises verges on proving just that. This offering’s predecessors (2016, 2018) significantly distinguished themselves from the…
Brent Marchant · 6/10Such a fun watch, maybe one of the best experiences I've had in a theater. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to 24 year old franchise.
tmdb78465292 · 10/10Well the "Deadpool" concept is now well and truly immersed in the Marvel multi-verse and I really did fear for good old "Dead". More of the same? Well, no actually. Ryan Reynolds has reverted more to the occasionally quite vulgar humour of the first film (2016) and allowed this t…
CinemaSerf · 7/10Deadpool and Wolverine is a movie that I truly believe the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has needed for a while. After years of lackluster installments, this film is a breath of fresh air. Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy approached this project with care an…
TheSceneSnobs · 8/10It feels a bit rushed... but then it was rushed. It feels a bit neutered, but it's now Disney and they did muzzle it. The thing is though... it's not woke, which is why you have articles criticizing it for "Not Being Gay Enough" and in 2024, that very literally translates to: "Th…
GenerationofSwine · 10/10Satisfying and 100% fan-service. Hugh Jackman still is awesome as Wolverine and gives it his all, along with Ryan Reynolds, both showing passion for the characters. That said, much like Deadpool 2, I'm not sure if I have much desire to revisit anytime soon. **3.5/5**
JPV852 · 7/10I just watched Deadpool & Wolverine, and wow, it was an absolute blast! Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have incredible chemistry that makes the whole movie work. Deadpool's irreverent humor and Wolverine's gruff seriousness balance each other perfectly. The film is packed with hi…
Pringo · 10/10For devout Marvel fans only. Here is a test for franchise films: Remove the IP and characters to see if the story, character development, etc. stands on its own without using the IP as a crutch. If you remove the IP in this case, you have absolutely nothing. If you've seen a lot…

aGoryLouie · 8/10I went to see Deadpool & Wolverine last evening and boy did it feel refreshing to see Ryan Reynolds making all of these funny jokes on screen as Deadpool. There were a lot of mentions of Marvel, jokes about production companies & about production crew/cast (extras, etc). As someo…
The Sunset Child · 10/10Finally, the moment I have been eagerly waiting for has arrived - the new film featuring Deadpool and Wolverine! I am thrilled to share my thoughts on this without revealing any spoilers, so brace yourself for a fairly tame review to keep the surprise intact for everyone. Marvel…
tmdb51616167 · 9/10Not funny as Deadpool 1 & 2, I was expecting something smashing due to the reviews I have read and people hype in social media. The fight scenes saved the movie.
albuainain · 7/10I personally enjoyed it. It was a fresh splash of the recent flops of Marvel movies. The plot was a little disorganized, but overall great film. The nostalgia and love letter to Fox/pre MCU films was a nice touch.
If you enjoyed any films from the early 2000's Fox Marvel Universe, you'll appreciate this film especially. Lots of call backs, and cameo's mixed with modern day references, and even some references to the actor's/actresses real lives. The dialogue is heavy with all of it, and it…
I hate gore in big budget films. It looks so cartoonish and trashy. Or do I hate the gore in this film. Stuff's funny and whatever. Good team up. Too friggin' long, bub.
Chandler Danier · 6/10It was an entertaining watch but it felt too "marvel". Liked the first two much more.
liabeth · 6/10**Deadpool & Wolverine: A Comic Book Dream Realized** From the very beginning, _Deadpool & Wolverine_ bursts onto the screen with the chaotic energy and irreverent humor fans have come to expect from the Merc with a Mouth. This film feels like a love letter to comic book enthusia…
