Deadpool & Wolverine

I just got through watching "Deadpool and Wolverine."

It's a Deadpool movie, so you know what to expect: Gratuitous violence, a bunch of sophomoric one-liners, cameos heretofore unforeseen, and those oddly heartwarming moments you don't expect.

Overall, it's pretty good; the constant bloody fights between the two leads does get a bit tiresome after a while, but nothing that ruins this otherwise solid film. There are some genuine surprise moments connected to the cameos that are pretty funny, and overall the fourth wall breaking is used sparingly this time but still to great effect (make sure to stay to the end to see one of the funnier pay offs).

Even though some events and characters are connected to the "Loki" television show, you really don't HAVE to see it to understand what's going on (it is briefly explained), and it's all in the service of mocking the film industry's weird obsession with multiverses over the last few years.

If Deadpool isn't your thing, it's entirely skippable -- it's certainly not an important film, but if you have any interest in the 20th Century Fox Marvel properties it's a good romp, and easily recommended despite its "R" rating.
