More info:
The highly anticipated introduction of the edgy, and dynamically comical
heroes into the Marvel Cinematic Universe has already proven to be a massive
success, becoming the biggest rated-R movie in history and the #5
highest-grossing MCU domestic release of all-time. “The movie broke so many
records,” said Ryan Reynolds. “The only way to describe how I feel is, just
south of ‘I’m finally enough’ and slightly north of, ‘I forgive my father.’”
Certified-Fresh and Verified Hot on Rotten Tomatoes™ and celebrated by
critics as “Just really f*cking fun” (Kristy Puchko, Mashable), “Fires on
all cylinders, and one viewing is not enough” (Pete Hammond, Deadline), and
“The Greatest Film Ever Made” (Ryan Reynolds), the home entertainment
release goes far beyond the fourth wall with exclusive content featuring a
hilarious gag reel, deleted scenes, all-new featurettes, filmmaker
commentary with director/producer/writer, Shawn Levy and
star/producer/writer, Ryan Reynolds and much more of that extras s$%t fans
love.
Plus, get your socks ready, nerds…you can look for all the cameos and easter
eggs you missed in the theater when the film arrives in stunning,
mind-blowing 4K Ultra HD Dolby Vision® along with Atmos® audio for the
finest picture and sound presentation at home!
Moreover, a maximum effort has gone into Amazon Prime Video’s Bonus X-ray
Experience. More revealing than red spandex, it includes featurettes you
can’t get just anywhere including Deadpool doodles, character pros and cons,
and trivia that’s been fact-checked by the Merc with a Mouth himself (pinkie
swear). And there’s a carousel of fun on Fandango at Home and crisp, juicy
bits on Apple TV for pumpkin-pie lovers and everyone else, including those
who are Avengers-adjacent, to enjoy.
The 4K UHD Blu-ray will be released in a national sku and special
limited-edition SteelBooks®, featuring exclusive custom art and packaging.
Fans will see red and yellow with two SteelBook versions to choose – one
version spotlights Deadpool and the other showcases Wolverine, with images
of each character’s multiple variants in all their glory included inside!
A special edition Blu-ray will be available exclusively at Walmart,
featuring a Deadpool corps pop-up inside for an extra rise in fun!
Film synopsis
Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date –
Deadpool & Wolverine. A listless Wade Wilson toils away in
civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind
him. When his home world faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly
suit up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest?
He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to... oh hell, just watch the movie.
Synopses are stupid.

Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool
Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine

My review:
There are three Deadpool movies, and I
binge-watched (rewatched) the other two on Disney+, of all places (because Hulu content is now on Disney+ too) the day I saw
Deadpool & Wolverine. Because of that, although I enjoyed this one,
I'd give it 3.5/5 stars. The original is my favorite and I think I gave Deadpool 2 3.5 stars out of five.
"I saw the new Deadpool yesterday, and to prepare, I binge-watched the
first two—I had seen both when they came out, but that was 2016 and 2018,
which feels like 10 years ago due to COVID. Oddly enough, you can stream them
both on Disney+ (I believe most Hulu content is on Disney+ now, so that's
why). I stand by my reviews for the first two: 4/5 for the original, and 3.5/5
for the 2nd one. For the newest one ... I don't know how to rate it. It was a
lot of fun, but the max I can give it is 3.5/5, I think. I was a little
disappointed because everyone had talked up how good it was, and it was
definitely an entertaining movie, with a lot of cool action sequences, but IMO
none of them live up to the first one."
I did a rewatch lately and I stand by my 3.5/5 review, although, like I said,
it's a lot of fun, and if you enjoyed the first two Deadpool movies you
will enjoy this one as well.
