Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Review: Script Analysis

Star Performance The story might be stupid, and the plot scattered, but those issues can be put aside, thanks to the performances within the film, especially the ones coming from Reynolds and Jackman. Reynolds, for example, continues to prove that giving himself this role was the best decision of his career, as his antics fit the character perfectly. He is just hilarious and his stream of consciousness comedy is very effective, and he also can bring it home when it comes to the more sentinel parts of the films. Meanwhile, seeing Hugh Jackman back in the role that made him famous feels just right, especially now that his suit is more comic accurate, and that his acting just nails the character effortlessly. Jackman might have been out with Logan, but Deadpool & Wolverine makes a case for him to continue to play the role even as he gets older. We really don’t need another Wolverine, and it is, at this point, almost impossible to think of another actor who could do the character justice.

 

Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Review: Star Performance

While the story may be silly and the plot disjointed, these issues are overshadowed by the stellar performances, particularly from Reynolds and Jackman. Reynolds proves once again that taking on this role was the best decision of his career. His antics perfectly match the character, delivering hilarious and effective stream-of-consciousness comedy, while also nailing the more sentimental moments.

On the other hand, seeing Hugh Jackman return to the role that made him famous feels just right. His more comic-accurate suit and effortless portrayal of the character are spot-on. Although Jackman seemed to have retired with Logan, Deadpool & Wolverine makes a strong case for him to continue in the role, even as he ages. At this point, it’s hard to imagine anyone else doing justice to Wolverine.

 

Deadpool & Wolverine Movie Review: The Last Word

Deadpool & Wolverine feels reminiscent of Marvel’s golden age. If the film succeeds, it could become a blueprint for future installments. With the Russo Brothers returning to direct the next two Avengers films, it seems Marvel is on the path to recovery. Let’s hope the lessons learned stick.
