Deadpool & Wolverine

I haven’t seen a movie in yonks! I don’t know what happened. So I thought I’d re-start my movie watching by watching the creme de la creme.

KIDDING

Man, this just looks so bad… I mean, all TV looks like this these days: They put the actor up against greenscreen, and film them without barely any lights — just everything evenly shot, desaturated, so that they can CGI in the backgrounds without them seeming out of place.

It’s super duper crappy, and I don’t know why there aren’t riots in the streets protesting this slop.

The title sequence was “fun”, if by “fun” you mean “Deadpool killing lots of innocent people”, but it looked so bad, too! They had CGI blood splatter everywhere that would have made CGI people in the 90s being ashamed of themselves.

Oh fuuuck! It’s about the Time Variance Authority! The thing everybody hated in the Loki series! I think this movie was commercially successful, though?

Yes indeed — 1.3 billion dollars.

I just hope the movie is going to start soon, because the first uhm 20 minutes have been brutally tedious. (And looks like dogshit.)

This is amusing… I mean, it’s pretty funny. But it’s like the timing is off? This could almost be extremely funny with just some pacing fixes and slightly better repartee. It leans into kinda gross bodily damage humour instead… but you can’t argue with $1.3 billion dolares.

What I’m saying is that I’m amused but bored at the same time.

Eh. I kinda admired the gross jokes more than I enjoyed them, if that makes sense? I can totally see why people liked this movie, but I was just mildly bored most of the time.

It’s not awful! It’s almost good? Like all big budget movies the last few years, it looks like dogshit, and that really cuts down on the enjoyment. But it’s otherwise OK?

Deadpool & Wolverine. Shawn Levy. 2024.
