**NO SPOILERS || JUST A BRIEF OPINION**

HERE WE ARE AGAIN, CLUB MEMBERS!

WE FIND OURSELVES AT A PLACE, WHERE NONE OF US THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD EVER GET TO IN OUR COMIC BOOK MOVIE LOVING LIVES……..EVER (EMPHASIZED).

AT ONE POINT, A DEADPOOL MOVIE IN ITSELF SEEMED SO FAR-FETCHED, BUT TO GET AN ACTUAL TEAM-UP FILM BETWEEN THE MERC WITH THE MOUTH AND THE MOST BELOVED PORTRAYAL OF A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER IN FILM HISTORY WAS THOUGHT TO BE EXTREMELY HARD TO ENVISION BACK IN LET’S SAY, THE YEAR 2010?

BUT HERE WE ARE IN THE “NOW”, WHICH WAS ONCE 2010’S FUTURE, AND THANKS TO OUR CANADIAN BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER (RYAN REYNOLDS + SHAWN LEVY), OUR DREAMS FINALLY COME TRUE WITH AN EPIC CINEMATIC TALE WHERE WORLDS AND NOSTALGIA COLLIDE, ALL FOR THE GREATER GOOD FOR AN EVER-CHANGING SPHERE WITHIN AN OVERSATURATED MOVIE GENRE…BUT THIS ONE MAKES US FEEL LIKE WE’RE OFFICIALLY BACK TO THE ESSENCE OF THINGS, AND WITH FILMS LIKE CAPTAIN AMERICA - BRAVE NEW WORLD ON THE WAY, WE’RE DEFINITELY GETTING BACK TO OUR MCU ROOTS WITH THESE NEW FILMS.

THE LAST THING WE WOULD DO HERE IS GIVE ANYTHING FROM THE FILM AWAY, SO THIS MAY BE A SHORT ONE, BUT FROM START TO FINISH OF THE FILM, IT’S LIKE YOU’RE ON A RIDE AT CANADA’S WONDERLAND, AND IT’S LOOP AFTER LOOP OF EXCITEMENT THROUGHOUT.

VARIATIONS OF OUR BELOVED CHARACTER, WOLVERINE ARE IN IT AS WELL, BUT RETURNiNG CHARACTERS FROM PAST FILMS NOT ONLY WITHIN THE 20th CENTURY FOX ERA, BUT THE EARLY MARVEL FILMS THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR WHAT WE INDULGE IN TODAY AS WELL.

QUESTION:

WHAT’S WORST?

GOING TO THE MOVIES BY YOURSELF, OR WITH SOMEONE WHO NEEDS AN EXPLANATION EVERY FEW SECONDS TO A FILM THEY JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND? THE LATTER IS WHAT WE’D GO WITH, WHICH IS WHY WE TEND TO GO TO FILMS LIKE THESE SOLO DOLO. IT’S LIKE OUR VERSION OF “PEACE & QUIET”, BUT INSTEAD IT’S ACTUALLY “DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE”, CREATING A SAFE SPACE FOR YOU TO FEEL LIKE A CHILD AGAIN IN A MOVIE THEATRE, AS YOU EAT A KWIK-E MART THEMED HOT-DOG AND SOME NOT-SO-FRESH NACHOS AND CHEESE, LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY AT THE SCREEN WHEN AN APPEARANCE OF A “NICE-POOL” ENTERS ON CAMERA.

EITHER WAY, OUR TUMMIES ARE FULL IN ALL-WAYS.

OUR SOULS ARE FILLED WITH THIS MOVIE AS WELL. THE JOKES ARE PRETTY STANDARD WITH THE RYAN-ISMS, BUT SOME ADDITIONAL TAKES SURPRISE US WITH LAUGHTER AND QUICK-HIT PUNCHLINE REFERENCES WHEN VISITORS FROM THE PAST PAY US A SWEET ACTION-PACKED VISIT.

WOLVERINE IS SURPRISINGLY MORE STONG, VICIOUS, AND FUNNY IN THIS ONE OUT OF ALL OF HIS PORTRAYLS THUS FAR AS WELL.

IT’S HARD TO GIVE A MOVIE LIKE THIS AN OFFICIAL REVIEW WITHOUT ANY SPOILERS, BUT W’ELL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO DECIDE WHETHER YOU SHOULD WATCH IT OR NOT, BUT IF YOU’RE A TRUE COMIC BOOK MOVIE FAN, NEED SOME CLOSURE, AND HAVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE SENSE OF WHERE SOME OF YOUR BELOVED PAST CHARACTERS IN THESE FILMS HAVE BEEN THIS ENTIRE TIME, THEN THIS WILL SCRATCH THAT ITCH FOR SURE.

LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE FILM IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW AND WE’LL SHARE SOME OF YOUR FEEDBACK ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF THE SHOW!

PROS:

• THE RETURN OF HUGH JACKMAN’S WOLVERINE

• A PLETHORA OF THROWBACK, BUT NECESSARY CAMEOS AND REFERENCES

• THE WARM FUZZY FEELING THAT THE MCU IS FINALLY BACK

• LOADS OF ACTION, COMEDY, AND HEART

CONS:

• THROW-AWAY VILLAINS

• SOME CAMEOS AREN’T PORTRAYED BY THEIR ORIGINAL ACTORS

• AT SOME POINT, YOU’RE GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT’S DRAGGING ON FOR A BIT (BUT IT’S ACKNOWLEDGED)

• TOO MANY “F” BOMBS, NOT ENOUGH VANESSA OR COLOSSUS

IN CONCLUSION…
