As I say, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Peter here clearly didn't enjoy the film.

Without giving too much away, I saw it as a celebration of the 20th Century Fox era of Marvel films. This was further enhanced with footage shown during the end credits.

As Deadpool says, "Get your special socks, nerds. This is the good part!" 😆

As I said here, and in my local last night, that it is about giving characters and ending, as well as providing the audience with closure, as well as being a meta commentary about the growth and development of the Marvel movies over the last 26 years. The mid-credit montage only makes sense from that perspective. This article makes the argument for Wolverine - people thought Hugh Jackman wouldn't be back because Logan gave Wolverine a great ending but D&W goes one better and gives him a happy ending (no not that kind).

Very good sir, Deadpool would be proud. 😆

I'm surprised they didn't go there.

I loved Deadpool and Wolverine, by far the best in the Deadpool franchise.

I think the reviewer didn't understand that Deadpool is a meta commentary on comics, with dick jokes; so the live adaptation should be a meta commentary on the films, with dick jokes.

I enjoyed it, 3.5/5 stars, but there are issues beyond the self referentiality.

It feels overlong. The constant fights between Deadpool and Wolverine grow tiresome. The swearing is at the level of a 12 year old trying to be edgy.

Those are actual complaints that don't involve the subject matter, which I'm totally down for. I was slightly disapponted they went with a Music Man reference instead of Greatest Showman, but fine, whatever.

Deadpool & Wolverine is great, however it's a love letter more than a movie. The plot exists only as a framing device for all the set pieces.
