Critics’ Chatter
“Directed by Shawn Levy from a script credited to five writers, including Levy and Reynolds, Deadpool & Wolverine does represent some sort of logical endpoint for self-referential, fourth wall breaking in the blockbuster realm; it’s hard to imagine a movie of this ilk being any more hall of mirrors-y about itself without being an on-set featurette. But for all its pulling back on its curtains, it’s not cynical — smug, sure, but not cynical — and it delivers a bounty of laughs, surprises and action, while also offering, intentionally or not, a compelling argument for the merits of logging off.”

“In its sketch comedy-adjacent way (there are five credited writers) Deadpool & Wolverine articulates something honest and true about the essence of comic book movies, more so than most “grimdark” adaptations: it’s all a riff anyway. Multiverse storytelling — like the comic book, soap opera, and pro-wrestling tropes it evolved from — is infinitely malleable. No important character is irrevocably dead, nor are they locked into being exclusively a good or bad guy. That’s why big-name characters can be introduced with fanfare, then killed suddenly for a laugh, or flipped from irredeemably evil to evil but redeemable. We go in knowing our suspension of disbelief will be flicked off and on like a light switch. This is part of the pact. And the dare.”

“Deadpool & Wolverine throws a lot at us — including the awesome, over-the-top violent choreographed fights set to pop songs, and even the extra-juicy bit tagged on at the end credits — and nearly all of it works. But what makes Deadpool & Wolverine the best Deadpool movie yet and the second best Wolverine film (James Mangold’s Logan still stands tallest) is how the union of two of the edgiest superheroes tempers the tendencies of each other, serving as a needed buffer between Deadpool’s barrage of double entendres and fourth-wall breaking asides and Wolverine’s relentless, gloomy tendency to beat himself up over and over again about past mistakes. United, they’re better and create something more sustainable and less monotonous, a game changer — if you will — that contributes in making Deadpool & Wolverine one of the best, most satisfying and certainly adult roller-coaster rides of this summer.”
