Deadpool and Wolverine’s worst reviews brutally rip new Marvel movie to shreds | Films | Entertainment

On Monday evening the world premiere of Deadpool and Wolverine took place in New York City.

Marvel fans have high hopes for Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s long-awaited Marvel team-up.

Yet despite all the buzz that the MCU is well and truly back after a few recent misses, it turns out the first reviews are actually quite mixed.

Some critics praised the fan service and rumoured plethora of cameos, but those who hated the blockbuster really didn’t hold back.

Check out soundbites from the reviews below going from the four star praising to the one star ripping to shreds.

The Times
Ebulliently directed by Shawn Levy, this is a hyperactive cheese dream that brings together two of Marvel’s best characters and a supporting cast who will have nerds frothing at the mouth.

London Evening Standard
Yes please: we’ll take as many Wolverine crossovers as Marvel is willing to dish out, as long as they taste as good as this one.

Variety
It’s a poignant summation of the Fox chapter of the Marvel saga.

New York Post
While retaking its cinematic crown will be a challenge, Deadpool & Wolverine is a giant, promising step forward for the franchise.

Empire
Despite a few early narrative bumps, it’s hard to imagine what more you could want from a movie with this pairing. Marvel has found its mojo again.

The Guardian
It’s amusing and exhausting.

Vanity Fair
Deadpool & Wolverine does a disarmingly effective job of convincing its audience that this is a film about nostalgia for beloved characters when it’s really just bridging a gap between one company’s output and another’s.

Hollywood Reporter
For the core audience, the gags will be reward enough, even if the rest of us might squirm as the sloppily staged action grows repetitive, the plotting haphazard and the humor so self-aware the movie threatens to disappear up its own ass.

Entertainment Weekly
It is a carnival of in-jokes, self-references, and reality breaks with no higher purpose than to congratulate its audience for keeping up. It has no stakes, no drama, and only the most cynical applications of creativity.

Daily Telegraph
To paraphrase TS Eliot, these fragments has Marvel shored against its ruins, though the crumbling continues regardless.

Independent
Deadpool & Wolverine is as much fun as you can conceivably have at a corporate merger meeting.

The Wrap
A shameless piece of self-congratulation, fueled by self-cannibalism, as the studio which built its identity on superhero crossovers finally abandons the pretense of trying to justify them dramatically.

Observer
Despite being right in the demographic crosshairs for its incessant geek culture references, I found myself as exhausted with this film as I have been with any other installment in the lackluster Multiverse Saga.

Deadpool and Wolverine hits UK cinemas on Thursday.
