Deadpool & Wolverine - Movie Review


 Goodbye 20th Century Fox

This movie is an appropriate send off to the 20th Century Fox Marvel Universe. I am sure this will be the last Fox Marvel movie ever. I will try to keep this spoiler free but there are a lot of cameos in this movie. This movie was definitely for the fans.

Review

This movie starts out with action and is pretty non-stop action throughout the two hour run. The story focuses on the main characters journey. While the movie has elements from the Loki series, Deadpool's fourth wall breaking explains it enough for those who have not watched the series. This was a welcome departure from recent Disney Marvel movies like Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness where Wanda is a villain with no summary of what was missed from the WandaVision series to explain her change.

While the Fox Marvel movies are heavily referenced in the movie, long time comic fans will notice many references as well. As a comic fan from the 80s and 90s, I appreciate all the references in the movie. While the action, story, cast, and acting were fantastic, I do have to point out the movie did get its rating from the language. Based on the trailer, I was prepared for what was to come with the language. I did find the language was used appropriately most of the time but I feel they could have dialed it back a little...or a lot. 

I will have to say I did laugh a lot during this movie even with the language. I noticed my cousin (who I went with) was smiling a lot throughout the movie as well. Perhaps Disney will make a Once Upon a Deadpool & Wolverine movie with less language in the future. I would enjoy that. A small spoiler is that the credits of the movie include behind the scenes from many of the Fox Marvel movies. There is one post credit scene at the end so be sure to stay.

Rating

I give this movie an HD rating mainly for the language but it is Deadpool after all. I am looking forward to this coming out on digital and will try to pick my copy up for under $10 but I may pick it up when it goes on the $13 sale.

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Digital Ownership

 What Is? With the digital revolution, digital media has been sweeping the world. My memory of digital media was back with iTunes in 2001. There you could download music with a touch of a button from an actual retailer vs illegally with the bonus of malware to your computer. I actually had digital music from iTunes before I had a iPod or iPhone to play it on. In 2005, Apple released their video iPod and started to "sell" digital TV and movies. I am not saying Apple was the foundation for the digital revolution but it was my first positive experience with digital media. My first digital video purchase was the unaired Aquaman TV pilot as it was the only place to get it. What does purchasing something digitally really mean though? Apple and Amazon are coming under class-action lawsuits for their digital ownership definition of "buy" an item. The lawsuit stems from the fine print where retailers cannot guarantee you own the product but merely have unlimited streaming. T...
