My Rating: 4.5 out of 5

The eagerly awaited third installment of the Deadpool movies kicks off in full throttle right from the opening sequence, staying true to the Merc with a Mouth. I’d say this is Ryan Reynolds’ masterpiece (so far). However, you may wonder why I give “only” 4.5 out of 5 stars: because the movie is only half as funny if you don’t know Deadpool or the Marvel universe. Movies like Iron Man or Captain America served as gateways into the Marvel world for those unfamiliar with the comics. Deadpool & Wolverine is not quite like that. Of course, it won’t appeal to those who haven’t seen the first two movies, but even then, that’s not enough. The movie is a 2-hour Easter egg collection for nerds. Moreover, it’s a buddy movie – a film where two buddies play two guys who become buddies.

The movie boasts a nearly perfect cast with plenty of surprises, keeping interest high throughout. The chemistry between the actors is palpable, particularly between Reynolds and Jackman, breaking through the fourth wall.

Reviewing a movie like this without spoilers is challenging, but I can confidently say my rating is from a fan’s perspective. If you’re not into this world, it’s a violent action movie with explicit language and some good (dad) jokes – something that might rate as a 1.5 out of 5 stars for some.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and I watched it with my best buddy – my wife, who enjoyed it too. So, I can’t even think of rating this movie poorly. Grab your buddy, wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, or whatever buddy, and go see Deadpool & Wolverine. It’s a blast, that makes your inner teenager giggle.
