'Deadpool & Wolverine' ,resurrecting Marvel's past
By Cynthia Montojo
"Deadpool & Wolverine" probably summer blockbuster of the year, is where Ryan Reynolds teams up with Hugh Jackman to give Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) much-needed jolt.
After getting rejected from joining Avengers, Ryan's Wade Wilson has retired from being Deadpool and is living personally dreary life until the Time Variance Authority show up to reveal his new importance.
But when things go sideways, Wade ends up in wasteland with Wolverine he reluctantly picked up, and heroes must find way to save universes they come from.
Future of "Deadpool" went into limbo following Disney's acquisition of Fox the same can be said for other Marvel properties Fox owned, leaving many wondering if "Merc with Mouth" would ever make it to MCU.
Fox's remaining Marvel projects were disappointing and MCU after "Avengers: Endgame" only saw few major successes, so a lot rested on Ryan's shoulders after Deadpool's return was confirmed with support of Jackman back again as Wolverine.
Like its predecessors, "Deadpool & Wolverine" shouldn't be taken all that seriously; it's filled with jokes, gags, and so many cameos that it pokes fun at entire concept of intellectual property being stretched or shoved away.
Ryan and company clearly shelled out money for this, not just for cameo appearances, but for really fun soundtrack that includes NSYNC, Goo Goo Dolls, Stray Kids, and Green Day.
Movie also benefits from keeping its R-rating first in MCU because gory, bloody action is top-notch, not shying away from how brutal yet awesome fight scenes can be when involving characters who basically recover from any wound.
Heart of the film, and yes there is bit of it, comes from two lead characters wanting to matter still in their respective realities, something that might have dwindled when we last saw them in "Deadpool 2" and "Logan."
Fans will surely enjoy what Ryan, Jackman, and director Shawn Levy have cooked up even by the end it only feels like glorious mash-up of cameos again, don't take the film seriously, just enjoy it.
Ryan still nails Wade's humor and casualness, shoving fingers into Disney's face because he now can and movie will still rake in millions, while Jackman shows grizzled side of Wolverine everyone will still appreciate.
One hopes there's more to see of "The Crown" star Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, formidable character in the comics, or even Emmy winner Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Paradox.
As mentioned, there are cameos galore in this film, but without spoiling those that can be mentioned are Aaron Stanford as Pyro and Jennifer Garner as Elektra, but wait until you see who else Marvel managed to reel in.
Only mild spoiler this review will have is that "Deadpool & Wolverine" is sort-of tribute to the Fox string of Marvel films "X-Men," "Fantastic Four," etc. which never got their fond farewells despite paving the way to what MCU has become.
That at the very least will have fans tearing up seeing Marvel's past was, and what future will be after Deadpool's latest maximum effort.
