But, be that as it may, For now Deadpool & Wolverine have emerged as winners on their partand here are some excerpts from reviews that have been published.

The Deadpool sequel lives up to the saga, being a marvel for Marvel fans

For some, it is a worthy production that fans will love.

The truth is that Deadpool & Wolverine is not a complex art, but of course, this was never the goal. That is probably why For Marvel fans of all ages, it is a masterpieceas it manages to extract the best of different universes and combine them into an epic journey, full of humor and heroism for adults.

Jonathan Sim the ComingSoon (8/10): «Deadpool & Wolverine is a cinematic delight. It's a loving homage to decades of Marvel multimedia projects and is every bit as loud, brash and bloody as the first two Deadpool films.»Mick La Salle of San Francisco Chronicle (2.5/4): “It's definitely not for everyone, but even a non-fan who wanders into the theater by accident will find entire sections here to enjoy.”Ed Potton of The Times (UK) (4/5): «Directed with great enthusiasm by Shawn Levy, this is a hyperactive film that brings together two of Marvel's best characters and a supporting cast that will have nerds in stitches.»Johnny Oleksinksi de The New York Post (3,5/4): “While reclaiming the cinematic crown will be a challenge, Deadpool & Wolverine is a giant and promising step forward for the franchise.”Josh Wilding de ComicBookMovie.com (5/5): «A contender for best superhero movie ever, Deadpool & Wolverine is two hours of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman proving they were born to play these roles and, crucially, to be part of the MCU. It's a masterpiece.»Rohan Patel from ComicBookMovie.com (9/10): «The definitive Marvel movie, a non-stop blockbuster with a heart of gold. Ryan Reynolds is Marvel's Jesus, breathing new life into the MCU and resurrecting the X-Man himself, Hugh Jackman, for one of the most incredibly fun comic book movies ever.»

Deadpool & Wolverine is not a movie for everyone

Some critics have expressed their dissatisfaction by calling it empty, repetitive and tiresome.

The truth is Deadpool & Wolverine is not a movie that will please everyoneand while some people outside the geek world find it somewhat entertaining, for others it is a pure and simple abomination:

Eddie Harrison from film-authority.com (2/5): «…Deadpool & Wolverine at least aims for self-deprecating laughs and relaxed entertainment, but the humor is tiresomely blunt and bitter despite a competent cast…».Clarisse Loughrey from The Independent (UK) (2/5): “Deadpool & Lobez isn't as fun as you might imagine at a corporate merger meeting.”Michael Phillips de Chicago Tribune (1/5): «Deadpool & Wolverine settles for frenetic, gamer-style ultraviolence, where death isn't really an issue, but where the grotesque sight gags start to feel not just hollow, but kind of horrifying.»Sentina Two by New York Magazine/Vulture: “Honestly, it seems like it exists solely to make money.”Robbie Collin from Daily Telegraph (UK) (1/5): «To paraphrase T.S. Eliot, these fragments have helped Marvel stand firm in the face of its ruins, even as the crumbling continues all the same.»Siddhartha Adlakha de JoySauce.com: «Its action is often implied; key moments of impact are often cut or eliminated entirely. Its drama is much alluded to, but rarely felt or seen. For a film in which every frame is packed to the rafters, it is surprisingly empty.»

Criticism, whether good or bad, will matter at all for what promises to be a blockbuster thanks to its ingenious strategy. In any case, as we mentioned before, Deadpool & Wolverine never promised to be a magnum opus, far from it, so it is probably being unfairly criticized by some people. However, as we have reiterated on several occasions, in many cases it is better to wait for the official release date to make our own criticisms, enjoy the moment and little more.
