Deadpool & Wolverine 3D (2024)

This review is about the 3D version, but you can catch the normal version everywhere.

Deadpool and Wolverine: an odd couple, if there ever was one. Deadpool & Wolverine throws the wise-cracking Merc with a Mouth and the brooding, clawed loner together for a wild ride. It’s a mix of laughs, action, and surprising heart that mostly hits the mark.

Reynolds and Jackman have undeniable chemistry. Reynolds is in his element, firing off jokes like a machine gun. But it’s Jackman who steals some scenes with a vulnerability we don’t often see from Logan. Their very mature-rated banter is gold, and it carries the movie through some of its weaker moments.

The action is a rollercoaster. Some sequences are pure adrenaline, with the 3D adding a cool dimension. Others feel a bit too chaotic. But when you’ve got two guys who can cut through steel with their bare hands, you expect some explosions.

The humour is spot on. Deadpool’s fourth-wall breaking antics are as sharp as ever, and the movie is packed with funny pop culture references. But it’s the buddy comedy vibes between Deadpool and Wolverine that really shine. You can’t help but laugh at their constant bickering.

It’s not perfect, though. The story is pretty standard superhero fare, and there are a few slow parts. Plus, while 3D is cool and increases the feeling of immersion, in my opinion, it’s not necessary to enjoy the movie. There’s nothing game-changing about it.

Overall, Deadpool and Wolverine 3D is a fun popcorn flick. It’s not high art, but it’s entertaining. If you’re a fan of these characters, you’ll probably enjoy it. Just don’t expect to leave the theatre pondering deep life questions. And remember, this one is definitely not for children.
