DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE - NO DOUBT FOX IS REGRETTING THE PLETHORA OF POSSIBILITIES OF "WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN"

🎥🎞️Movie Review🎞️🎥 - DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE [2024] - [R] - Directed by Shawn Levy. Screenplay by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, & Zeb Wells. Produced by Kevin Feige, Lauren Shuler, Ryan Reynolds, Matthew Macfadyen, Marvel Studios, Maximum Effort, & 21 Laps Entertainment. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Matthew MacFadyen, Jennifer Garner, Wesley Snipes, Chris Evans, Henry Cavill, & Dafne Keen. Budget $200 Million.

*No Spoiler Review* - Basically, Wade Wilson (Deadpool) [Reynolds] is a retired superhero trying to live a normal life with his friends, but a second chance at redemption steps in when an administer of quantum realities [Macfadyen] steps in to change a timeline that revolves around the X-Men's Wolverine [Jackman], who is lost and wandering through life as a bonafide alcoholic. Deadpool enlists the help of Wolverine to find a way to chance their respective histories and restore order their universe, bringing back old friends from the dead and saving humanity. The big problem is, the duo must use the help of superheros that have lost their potential on the big screen - breaking the fourth barrier of comic book lore - and breathing new life into their new retconned existence; literally poking Fox Entertainment in the eye for giving up on some old movie ideas that could have been spectacular.

THE GOOD - Fantastic story arc. The visual effects are breathtaking and there is a ton of action in this film. Lots of blood, body parts, and an extended use of CGI to fill in the blanks for people who need to see more. There was an astonishing dramatic part in the film where Wolverine [Jackman] spills his heart about being a superhero and losing all that he loves. Lots of humor and inside jokes pertaining to comic book universal canon.

THE BAD - There's too much humor and inside jokes pertaining to comic book universal canon. Reynold's gabs a lot - and even though I know it's a comic book thing - it gets a little annoying over an extended period of time. The CGI is a little too much at times, taking away the practical effects and realism of how things happen in real life.

POST MORTEM - In my opinion, Reynold's truly loves the sound of his own voice and I am sure that muting his voice, this film wouldn't have been as good. Out of all the super hero films released, I feel this is the best film I've seen in a long time! I think that the hype was just perfect and the excitement was just as important during the early promotional effort to the film. This film has everything that a comic book enthusiast would love to see in just one film. As Stan Lee would say, "EXCELSIOR!"

REMINISCENCE MAKES FORGETTABLE SENSE WITH BAD DIRECTING

🎥🎞Movie Review🎞🎥- REMINISCENCE -(PG13)- STARZ/HBOMAX - Warning: this is another global warming semi-action film! Hugh Jackman stars in this “what could have been” a saucy and sexy thriller…oh boy, this film had all of the right chemistry and actors to actually bring out a fantastic film, but the director seems to have decided to play it safe and not cross the boundaries of sexual tension which could have taken this film to the next level. 

The story line had a brief moment to spell bind the viewer into a new technology, which seemed pretty cool at first, but then became part of a mind twisting element to the film that didn’t need to be there; proving that “sometimes the easiest explanation in a murder mystery is the best way to go.” There are several twists and turns that are presented, where the viewer is shown the obvious answer for the ending in the movie, but the director tries to toss a new angle in the story that miserably tries to make you forget that the entire plot was already presented.

Kudos to Rebecca Ferguson (who plays “Mae) as she marvelously filled the film with some sultry, sexy performances which raised the expectancies of the film at first, but with the soft PG-13 rating, all her energy to present a memorable character are lost by the time the next scene crossed over the screen. She does deliver an emotional message at the end of the film which proved the inner brilliance of her character, which should have been the end of it, but the director took the film into deeper, lost territory by having to reaffirm a “lost lovers dilemma" that horribly extended this shallow love story into another hapless direction of boredom.

Jackman tries to perform at a top notch dramatic level and the films failure is not all his fault, but his supporting cast just seems to be going through the motions with very little emotion at all. Add to that, a lazy and boring shootout in a bar and a fight scene or two that truly wasn’t needed, well…it just goes to show you that it truly doesn’t matter who is in your film if your director is only relying on digital and blue screen effects to make the film look cool and darkly futuristic.

Don’t bother watching this pile of shit, but if you do feel the need to watch it, be sure you have a real action movie lined up to follow the end credits to this crap.
