Deadpool & Wolverine - Fox Swan Song (FILM REVIEW)

Alright so after an agonising long wait, we finally got Deadpool & Wolverine on the big screen and our fave honey badger Australian in his iconic yellow suit. Joygasm!!!!🥵 Anyway time to explain the film's story and then touch upon my thoughts, LETS FUCKING GO!❤️💛❤️

Deadpool & Wolverine picks up few years after Deadpool 2 and Wade is retired and trying to live a normal life. However, Wades abuse of the time jumping and fixing has caught the attention of the TVA (some time line police agency for marvel) and so TVA tell Wade his universe is dying so Deadpool is forced to put on his big boy pants and has to save his world BUT we all know Deadpool only stops mini events at world domination and nothing as big as a world saver so Wade goes on a journey to recruit a Wolverine with attitude. Is it a good wolverine or a bad one he finds?🤔 

On his time jumping journey we bump into familiar faces aswell as new and unexpected ones which is sure to get fans of all ages of all backgrounds excited and minds blown and their pants full so to speak😂 While trying to save his world our buddy's Wolverine and Deadpool scrap a few times and also run into Cassandra Nova and her band of mutant villains from all across the fox Xmen universe! Ooooh scary. Cassandra Nova is a pretty scary villain, she's an omega level mutant and she is the twin sister of a famous X-man. (I won't say more incase people don't know).🧐 

 So it's up to Deadpool and Wolverine to work together to save our "sacred timeline" but they are going to need a whole army to take down the likes of Cassandra Nova and her villainous mutants but who are they going to recruit? Find out by watching😊

So, the film I thought was great and basically fox's last stand or swan song essentially as we say hello and goodbye to their universes as Disney/Marvel owns the majority of them now. We have fabulous music choices and exciting over the top and hectic action sequences in between all the jokes and 4th wall breaks. The opening sequence was beautiful.

The action I felt was way too fast and I couldn't keep up at the best of times so another viewing is worth it to keep my eyes on someone else moving and killing in these action packed scenes. Cameos are good and in abundance, they should have not spoiled any of them in the trailers and some they did keep under wraps, thankfully. The action Choreography was incredible even if it was hard to keep up with watching. Shawn Levy did an incredible job with this film.

Wade and Logan are great and funny as always and as we could have ever imagined. The mouthy quippy whippy Deadpool meets our no nonsense stoic Wolverine and the characters are exactly as you expect. I wish we had some more time with our DEADPOOL friends from past two movies.

Lots of swearing and blood and gore. Here's hoping Deadpool is marvel jesus and ressurects the MCU otherwise I think MCU needs to do some more trimming and kill characters and films and things off to do a reset and hopefully focus on better stories and characters and overarching story telling.

Deadpool & Wolverine is the Spider-Man no way home of Deadpool and Wolverine's big screen outtings. A final send off to Fox's era of superheroes and an overall great movie.

9/10

Go enjoy it BUB!

The Predator Film Series RANKED & Reviewed

So I've just arrived home after watching The Predator the sequel in the Predator franchise directed by Shane Black. The trailers made the film out to be trash, i'll be honest i thought this new predator film would bomb, it would suck. I actually enjoyed it to be honest. Although I have some nitpicks i liked it and it was not a letdown after all for me. So stick around for the ultimate hunter!

THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS!

AVP won't be officially on this list since they are considered to be in a universe of their own. Also there was no big mention of them in The Predator so it's not canon. There was a spear with an alien tail attached in the background of one scene which looked like the one from AVP 1 BUT that is all no other mention or weapon in The Predator from the AVP series. AVP is considered a reboot of sorts for both series when it released since it was years since the last instalments in both universes. Don't get me wrong there's some awesome scenes in both films and cool ideas but that's it, not officially apart of the canon universe. 

The Predator

The newest instalment is also the funniest and possibly goriest entry despite not being a fully fledged 18 rated film here in the uk like the rest of the series. The game changes in this film with Pred and 2 being the predecessors to this film so it's carrying on that story and not the one from AVP or Predators. This film introduces many new things to the Pred-iverse. Prediverse? Yeah ok that's mine i used it first lol So in this universe we have previously known these intergalactic hunters come to Earth and other planets hunting for sport to see who is worthy and what not but this film basically makes the preds and this film out to be just another general alien invasion/takeover film, they want our planet, which has never been the documented case in the first two pred films of course. The lore was always in pred 1 and 2 they come to hunt to get the thrill of a kill to rank up in their clans and what not and build an impressive trophy collection. Soundtrack in this was very unnoticeable besides the traditional Pred theme but i think it was not used that well here in this film. Characters were great but god damn did some become forgettable and got snuffed out fast near the end of the film. I reacted quite a bit to this film, from being sad about a character death to being shocked at something to being tense to being happy to others. This was the funniest goriest and most heartfelt entry to this series. Seriously it surprised me too! There's some new additions which are weird to the series this film has brought in the Pred Hounds i mean they were tough but they were pretty short lived. The Mega Predator was scary man like that thing was super duper tough but i think there could have been a longer better fight with it. The "Fugitive" Predator was cool and it was very different from any predator we have had before, he (i'm going to say he, fuck it) was very intellectual. All the new tech this film showed off though OMG INSANE!!!! A huge scary highlights are the scenes where we see the Predators eye's how they just open them and they light up so bright and just paints a creepy picture, there's one who has blood leak on his face and we see his head turn and eyes open and i was like "oh jeezus help me" and there was another where one was pretty spider like hangin above eating Prey and then it looks down as a torch shines on its face i was like "O mah lawd" haha. Overall rate it 7/10

Predator 2

Looking back at it this has some cheesy and funny moments of course. Danny Glover playing the hot headed Harrigan is entertaining but him and this film is hard to fill the boots of it's predecessor. The environment has changed but the hunt remains the same. This has some cool and great scenes and lines and it opened up the lore for the preds a lot more. 7/10

Predators

The hunt goes back to the jungle but it's now on an alien planet with people of all races, genders and back grounds are picked up and put on this planet to duke it out with nature, pred dogs, the elements, other people and most importantly PREDATORS! There's a team of Predators here most are bad but there's one good pred in the group who does try helping the humans but fails and we get an Arnie-esque pred one show down with this Beserker Predator who is the ugliest s.o.b we have seen in the series. Some great scenes with great action and character but there's so much untold left to discover from this film that i hope we get some resolution or expansion at some point. 8/10

Predator

Of course the first is the best. This big 80's muscle buffed action piece started the series and still holds up, it has tense and horror moments too which i feel are missing in the series a bit because they have not been done aswell as this one was well the latest installment had 2 cool scary scenes which were cool as shit to have seen but besides that the predator has not been shown off to be a fierce hunter as this one was for some time. In a future predator film we need the horror back and i'd like the mythos and some stories to be wrapped up, hell expand upon them and bring old characters back be a cool trip too. Some iconic lines in this film. Soundtrack is beast from the theme song to the iconic Long Tall Sally being played. 9/10

GET TO THE CHOPPA because that's my list and thats the series ranked and reviewed all done. 

Let's hope we get another soon which continues the series and is good aswell.
