Disney has unveiled Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” with the film’s premiere tonight and already social media reaction from early attendees is out and understandably gushing so far.
The reaction so far has mostly been from junket press and fan driven sites. Actual reviews from their outlets, not to mention the trades or more general media outlets, will hit when the review embargo lifts on Tuesday at 3pm US-PT.
Below is a sampling of those reactions. So far attendees have been very good at avoiding spoilers and you won’t find any in the quotes below:
“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). Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds overdelivered. It’s a lot to process. I had a blast.” – Brandon Davis, Bloody Disgusting
“‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ smokes. So much fun. And a love letter (hate that term, but that’s what it is) to the Fox era of Marvel movies. I assumed it would be violent based on how much Marvel’s been selling that, but I’d say it’s the most gory of the three. #DeadpoolAndWolverine” – Mike Ryan, Uproxx
“Welp, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ got me excited about Marvel movies again. Hilarious, earnest, irreverent as hell, and a reminder of the kind of relentless fun that got us into this stuff in the first place.” – Matthew Jackson, Looper
“Vulgar, violent, scathing, and at times, even touching, this R-rated romp holds nothing back delivering on everything its fans want with maximum effort… Despite the literal and figurative messiness, I had such a gigantic smile on my face the entire time it didn’t matter. One door has closed and many more have now opened leaving me with a sense of excitement and anticipation I haven’t felt from the franchise in a very long time.” – Matt Neglia, Next Best Picture
“‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is Marvel’s ‘Planes, Trains & Automobiles’. What does that mean? It means it’s both wildly hilarious and genuinely (and heartbreakingly) meaningful. Top 10 Marvel – not because of its cameos, because of its heart. This movie doesn’t just exist – it MATTERS.” – Jake Hamilton, ReelBlend
“LFG! Absolutely loved ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ – yes the cameos and surprises are epic, and the humor, action, blood-soaked fights and needle drops are tremendous, too… but it’s the respect and love for the characters that win you over. This is the ultimate Deadpool movie. It is the ultimate Wolverine movie. It’s a damn good time and the best of the three Deadpool movies, for sure. Have fun!” – Erik Davis, Fandango
“‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ feels miraculous. A high energy ode to superhero cinema past that goes beyond nostalgia into kid in a candy store madness, the Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman is everything you wanted and more, despite some grating toilet humor.” – James Preston Poole, Discussing Film
“It goes without saying that ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ absolutely KILLS it! Ryan and Hugh brought their all into it, the R-rated action is still as gory as ever, and the cameos, when present, felt like they mostly fit well enough the story. Yep, BIGGER implications are coming!” – Chris Gallardo, Popternative
“THE superhero nostalgia fest you’ve been waiting for. If you’ve been suffering from ‘superhero fatigue’ this will be a f—– shock to your system that will have you laughing, screaming, and crying. 10/10 no notes.” – Maggie Lovitt, Collider
“Lived up WAY beyond the HYPE!! It seamless jumps from a nostalgia cameo fueld ride to a genuine sweet & emotional tribute to the Fox era Marvel movies. It’s insane how much was hidden. Funniest MCU movie to date. Shawn Levy’s action also kicks ass!” – Cris Parker, 3C Films
“Deadpool & Wolverine” opens in cinemas on July 26th.
