Movie Review:

"Deadpool & Wolverine" is directed by Shawn Levy and is the third movie in this franchise. It is also the 34th film in the MCU, marking the introduction of Deadpool into this universe. This buddy road trip movie is absolutely hilarious and had me laughing more than any other movie I've seen this year.

Ryan Reynolds nails it as Deadpool, delivering sarcastic one-liners that are offensive yet hilarious. His ability to break the fourth wall adds an extra layer of humor to the film. Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine is a highlight, with his chemistry with Ryan making their on-screen dynamic feel like that of an old married couple.

The action scenes in this movie are some of the best in any Deadpool film, with fast-paced and well-choreographed sequences that set it apart from other MCU movies. The cameos are well-done and add to the story, rather than feeling forced.

While the film pays homage to past 20th century Fox superhero movies with funny jokes, some characters from the previous Deadpool films are sidelined, making them feel underutilized. Morena Baccarin's performance as Cassandra Nova is solid, but the character comes off as a generic comic book villain.

Overall, "Deadpool & Wolverine" is a fun and entertaining experience, filled with laughter and geek-out moments for fans of "X-Men" comics. It's definitely worth a trip to the movies.

I am giving this a 4.5/5 stars.
