'Deadpool & Wolverine' Movie Review: A Nerdy Pleasure Fest

Deadpool Wolverine movie review 2024 (Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds) 

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE is hilarious from start to finish with tons and tons of X-Men and MCU references, and countless cameos for your nerdy pleasure. If you're a fan of the X-MEN movies and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's a two-hour nerd fest. Even for those unfamiliar with the franchises, there's still plenty to laugh about. Don't worry, the Disney ownership didn't affect the irreverence of the franchise with the filmmakers doubling down on the provocative and violence.

 Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos, Daisy Edgar Jones in Twisters movie review

Lee Isaac Chung's TWISTERS is Hollywood's typical run-of-the-mill disaster flick, but the CGI tornadoes are much more frightening than the original 1996 blockbuster, TWISTER. Glen Powell's charisma spices up the action along with Daisy Edgar-Jones.  Those familiar with the original 1996 blockbuster, will recognize some familiar elements, but the film is mostly unrelated to the original movie starring Helen Hunt and the late Bill Paxton.
