Deadpool & Wolverine - 死侍與金鋼狼



Deadpool And Wolverine (死侍與金鋼狼) is an 2024 movie. The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as the title characters respectively. The supporting cast include Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Shioli Kutsuna, and Lewis Tan. Cameo appearances from too many to name including Dafne Keen, Jennifer Garner, Channing Tatum, Chris Evans, Henry Cavill, Wesley Snipes, and Jon Favreau. The movie is the third Deadpool movie and unofficially the fourth Wolverine. This is also both their introductions into the MCU as the 34th film.



The movie takes place on Earth-10005, whereas the sacred timeline is Earth-616. Earth-10005 is in danger of ending because Logan’s death has caused that timeline to fracture and start to end. In order to save it, Deadpool must revive Logan. However, he is unable to revive the Earth-10005 Logan and is now sent to the void by the TVA. Before he’s sent to the void, Deadpool finds a Logan he thinks can replace Earth-10005’s. But both are sent back to the void. Deadpool now has to find a way back to his Earth and still it save with another earth’s Logan.

This film was insane because it does not follow the rules of movies. For example, breaking the fourth wall, referring to the characters by the actors name, talking about Disney many times and multiple references to the MCU.

I will say that the first half of the film, although amused, I was wondering where the story was going to go. And when they got to the void, I wondered how the story was going to progress. But the last third of the film brought all the loose end together. Was it a tight and bulletproof ending? No way, it just leaves you asking more questions, but do you care about the answers? The movie was so entertaining that all the story holes were kind of made acceptable.

This was a Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds movie. It was many elements of the previous two Deadpool’s, but even more this time around.

Deadpool 2 - 死侍2



Deadpool 2 (死侍2) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. The supporting cast include Morena Baccarin, Josh Brolin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, T. J. Miller, Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapičić, Karan Soni, Shioli Kutsuna, Lewis Tan, Bill Skarsgård, Terry Crews, Brad Pitt, Rob Delaney, and Hayley Sales. The film is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, but in the Fox X-Men universe. This is also the long awaited sequel to Deadpool (惡棍英雄:死侍)



Wade has decided to lead a life of fighting crime. When a boy is in need of his help, he tries to help. Wade gets into the middle of fight between the boy and a time traveling bad @$$ named Cable. Cable is looking to get the boy and Deadpool wants to save the boy. Deadpool needs help and starts his own super group, the X-Force. Armed with new superheroes at his side, they set out to save the boy from Cable. Can Wade do it?

That's the plot from the trailer. But that's not what the film is about. If I wrote about it, it would take away from your enjoyment of the movie. Deadpool kind of goes a little darker with the story with the introduction of Cable and the X-Force. But its still Wade Wilson at heart and a Ryan Reynolds film. The director of this film is David Leitch, the uncredited co-director of the first John Wick movie. And you can tell from the action that this installment's action looks way better. Especially the hand to hand combat. They even made Josh Brolin look good.

All in all, I had fun watching this film. But just like the first Deadpool, I didn't necessary enjoy watching this again. I've never re-watched Deadpool in its entirety. Just bits and pieces from TV and HBO. I suspect the same for this installment.

This film does feature quite the good looking Asians. From the Hong Kong Triads to the Japanese Triad montages, and than to Shatterstar played by Lewis Tan. They end it finally with Shioli Kutsuna who brings the "ah, how cute" moments to the film. This film had it all.

The Hitman's Bodyguard - 殺手保鑣



The Hitman's Bodyguard (殺手保鑣) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. The supporting cast include Élodie Yung, Gary Oldman, and Salma Hayek.

Ryan Reynolds plays a triple certified bodyguard, Michael Bryce. Samuel L. Jackson plays Darius Kincaid, the world's most well known assassin. Kincaid is captured one day and agrees to testify against a warlord for a reduced sentence for his wife. Along the way, the warlord's inside people get to Kincaid, but he escapes and Bryce is enlisted to bring him to the trial or the warlord goes free due to no witnesses. Let the fun begin as they have to go through Europe to get Kincaid to the trial court and the warlord's men are very resourceful and keep finding them.

This movie was made for Ryan Reynolds. Deadpool without the super powers. The addition of Samuel L. Jackson shakes up the formula a little, but not by much. If you like Reynolds and his movies, you will most likely enjoy this one too.

Deadpool - 惡棍英雄:死侍



Deadpool (惡棍英雄:死侍) is an 2016 film. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. The supporting cast include Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T. J. Miller, Gina Carano, Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand and Stefan Kapičić. The film is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, but in the Fox X-Men universe. The film was made on a relative budget, but is now the highest grossing rated R film. A sequel was already in the works before the movie was released publically.



Reynolds plays Wade Wilson, a former special forces turn angel merc. Wade however only takes merc jobs that let him kill bad guys. Wade meets Vanessa Carlysle in a bar and begins a torrid romance that he proposes. However, right when all this happiness is happening to Wade, he collapses and finds out he's got terminal cancer. Vanessa doesn't leave him, but he doesn't want her to see him die and have to take care of him. When approached to an experiment that promises a cure, he takes a chance. Ajax and Angel Dust are the experiment leaders, but it is extremely painful and causes Wade to hate them. Ajax tries one last cure experiment, which slowly suffocates Wade. Ajax reveals that he's the only one that can fix Wade. When Wade transforms into Deadpool, he finds that he's got powers of healing, making him un-killable. But the side effort is that all his surface skin looks burned. He looks for Ajax to find a cure and secretly follows Vanessa. The rest of the story is up to you to find out.



Reynolds is a natural for Deadpool. The version in Wolverine Origins was not that of the current comics. This movie version is closer to the comic version in both fun and irrelevance. The comedy and dialogue of the movie are what stands out. Add to it that Tim Miller paces the story well, makes this even better. But I could have like the movie just for the comedy and dialogue alone.

The X-Men film series adds another great installment. Making Marvel properties the gem of the comic book movie world.
