Art Thoughts: Deadpool and Wolverine.
This film is an absolute blockbuster, action-packed, gore-fueled joyride.
Every element of the film from it's score to it's shot-work to the dialogue which is as quick as they come is thoughtful and given free reign to be as Deadpooly as possible.
Almost falling into the trap that Thor: Love and Thunder fell into, Shawn Levy Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Rob Simonsen and the entire cast and crew dance around that line consistently and it makes for a curious yet beautifully chaotic orchestra of lights, camera, action.
The opening sequence gives you the best idea of what one can expect from this latest installment of the franchise as Deadpool takes aim at the MCU with one final swan song to the Fox Timeline.
I can't think of many more occasions where I screamed "LETSSS GOOOOO" in a theater unconsciously more times than at this film. Hugh Jackman appears to be having the time of his life on this set and that translates to his unsurprisingly brilliant take on this Logan variant.
This film is unapologetic in the best way. It stands by what it is trying to say which is not a lot but oh so much at the very same time.
You don't have to be a superhero to matter...
This film is a testament to the power of the movie theater and the ability to have an incomparable connection to about 200 other people as you watch things come alive on the big-screen that you had pushed away to the realm of impossibility.
A masterful handling of script, score, cinematography, and performance brings this film to life and gives it the full-grown legs to make it across the finish line in a deliberate effort to desecrate the final few seconds of Logan while honoring the 10+ years of the one and only Wolverine, Hugh Flippin' Jackman.
