Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy see more movies than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the movies, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Logan

Deadpool & Wolverine – Whether intentionally or not, Deadpool & Wolverine shows that staking your entire cinematic universe on a multiverse is quite the silly proposition. Directed by Shawn Levy and a blue screen in London and featuring five credited writers (Included Hellions and Amazing Spider-Man‘s Zeb Wells!), Deadpool & Wolverine is a potpourri of tones from deadly serious to goofy as hell and is a love letter and piss take to the inconsistently good Marvel comic book films of the 2000s.

Ryan Reynolds bats around .300 or so with his quips and fourth wall breaking while Hugh Jackman is good even when the film around him is bad. The real standout are some cameos that I won’t spoil, and Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova. Deadpool & Wolverine respect the character’s origins in Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s New X-Men while Corrin plays the role with a gleeful menace. The lowlights of the film are anything having to do with the TVA (Doctor Who, but bureaucrats=yuck) and a predictable, poorly choreographed third act. Also, Rob Delaney is in the movie way too much ; is this early 2010s Twitter?

But, if you grew up on the Fox Marvel films and liked the previous Deadpool films, this is worth watching, especially with friends who have vastly different opinions than you so you can debate after.

Overall Verdict: 6.9
