Deadpool & Wolverine First Reactions: Marvel Is Back

On the global press tour of Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel Studios has shared the first half hour of the film with members of the press in attendance. Now that the film’s release is just days away, critics have been able to screen the picture in full, allowing them to share their initial thoughts of the Ryan Reynolds threequel on social media. As you might expect, the earliest reactions from critics are overwhelmingly positive, with unanimous praise for the Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reunification.

ComicBook’s Brandon Davis praised the two for “overdelivering” on the film. “Deadpool & Wolverine is an insane, bombastic Marvel wet dream.Plenty of surprises but with epic action, excessive violence, and relentless humor (most of which landed for me),” Davis wrote. “Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds overdelivered. It’s a lot to process. I had a blast.”

Another voice from ComicBook, Jenna Anderson noted that the film “absolutely charmed” her. “I am in disbelief of what it accomplishes, and how it does so without ever really cheapening the experience. It’s so violent and surprisingly heartfelt,” Anderson added. “I’m not even joking when I say: delete your social media between now and when you see #DeadpoolAndWolverine. Everyone deserves the wacky ride of discovering things about this movie without it being spoiled beforehand.”

“Their chemistry delivers the GREATEST bromance/buddy cop dynamic in film history. Stunning action & hugh loads of gooey fun. Not just another sequel, it’s the BEST MCU movie ever! A fitting end setting up what’s next,” @theatomreview tweeted.

@CineMundoUS added, “The movie is absolutely perfect, a masterfully crafted, action-packed spectacle that exceeds all expectations. It’s a return to form for Marvel, filled with surprises. The casting and performances are exceptional, delivering a truly mind-blowing experience!”
