REVIEW (MyKeeneNow) – The prospect of a new Deadpool and Wolverine “Teamup” is causing a lot of excitement among fans, but it also raises a question.

How about Logan?Are they really going to do that to him and ruin Wolverine’s deeply emotional goodbye with a dream sequence gag or something?

Don’t look away, you’re in a safe zone here. There will be no spoilers (and there are plenty of surprises that can be given away, so be careful with your media), but rest assured that the Deadpool franchise is built on self-awareness. And what this third installment cooks up is a raunchy, bloodthirsty, and often hilarious explosion of fanservice and Friars Club roast, set at an insane pace.

There’s also a lot to say about the new Honda Odyssey. Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is selling cars, wearing a “hair system” and crushing on Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) when the mysterious Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) gives Wade the chance to finally achieve what he longs for: to be important.

Remember, we’re in Marvel “multiverse” territory now, so while Paradox keeps an eye on multiple timelines, Deadpool just needs to know who can help him save the timeline that traps the people he truly cares about.

Bet you can guess who could help but doesn’t want to.

Director Shawn Levy, who co-wrote the script with Reynolds and Rhett Rheese, provides a near-constant stream of bloodshed and banter, always one step ahead of us on the mockery scale. Disney and the MCU are frequent targets, but extensive explanations, past films, former spouses and more are all skewered by precise timing from Reynolds and the angry straight-guy muscle-flexing wrath of Hugh Jackman.

This pair of timeline bandits is as much of an R-rated delight as you’d probably expect, but Levy makes sure the two don’t just talk the talk. The action is stylishly staged, full of ’80s pinpricks (Cha-Ching Huey Lewis!), and often relentless, with D & W mostly battling each other until they face the all-powerful Cassandra Nova (Emma Corin), masked.

Nova rules “the Void,” a thrilling dystopian hellscape, home to many jokes about Mad Max and a priceless selection of cameos. More and more famous faces show up to join the fray, enough to make the fanboys and girls cheer, laugh and tip their hats to pop culture references and some very well-played superhero sleight of hand.

Yes, the film is too long (but you want to stay with it until the credits) and at times it is obviously impressed by its own cleverness, but Deadpool and Wolverine also lives up to its promise of fun for adults and the masses.

Make sure you over-commit yourself and achieve more than you set out to do.
