  Deadpool & Wolverine 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Jul 2024

  DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE is a tale of two movies. One of those movies is an exercise in a lot of the worst things about the movie industry right now, being poor filmmaking that leans on referential humor and hollow nostalgia where everything is framed and introduced in a way that makes people go “ooh” and “aah” for the whole runtime without anything too interesting happening.
