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.

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 ...

Glass - Movie Review

History M. Night Shyamalan has made many movies that provide plot twists that are unusual. Unbreakable and Split are two such examples that surprisingly become part of the same universe. Unbreakable was released in 2000 by Walt Disney Studios. Split was released in 2017 by Universal Pictures. Glass is the third movie in the trilogy distributed jointly by Universal and Disney. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were pretty reliable in the 1990s and early 2000s with movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. The Last Airbender in 2010 was horrible. With a rich story from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, M. Night managed to destroy over 8 hours of great story telling by condensing it into a 103 minute movie. Not to mention how the characters names were mispronounce throughout the film. I could spend an entire post on how that movie destroyed a live action series. My children convinced me to purchase Split. I admit at the time of this post, I have yet to...

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...
