Despite a strong media campaign, 'Deadpool and Wolverine' offers an uneven mix of humor and action.
The film, featuring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, entertains with witty banter and meta-comedy but suffers from a convoluted plot filled with numerous callbacks to other Marvel films.
Deadpool's irreverent style clashes with the serious tone of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making the film less accessible to newcomers.
While Reynolds shines, Jackman's alte ate Wolverine feels one-dimensional. The action sequences, directed by Shawn Levy, fall flat, relying heavily on slow motion and lacking sophistication.
Overall, the film is intermittently amusing but ultimately middling, appealing mainly to die-hard fans.
