1
00:00:01.251 --> 00:00:04.337
I told you, you're not welcome here
and are welcome anywhere.

2
00:00:05.046 --> 00:00:06.339
Now get the fuck out of my bar.

3
00:00:06.339 --> 00:00:09.342
Just give me one more drink
and then I'll leave.

4
00:00:10.468 --> 00:00:11.803
Hi, peanut.

5
00:00:11.803 --> 00:00:14.806
This is Peter Rosenthal, head film critic
for The Onion.

6
00:00:14.848 --> 00:00:17.684
Today
I'll be looking at Deadpool and Wolverine,

7
00:00:17.684 --> 00:00:20.854
the latest action packed entry
in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

8
00:00:20.854 --> 00:00:24.065
and the only movie that I can connect
with my nephew over.

9
00:00:24.983 --> 00:00:27.986
Say hi to the audience, Myles.

10
00:00:28.236 --> 00:00:34.034
No, you just want to sit there
in the background and play your switch.

11
00:00:34.576 --> 00:00:36.202
Okay, cool. No.

12
00:00:36.202 --> 00:00:38.913
No worries.

13
00:00:38.913 --> 00:00:41.750
Picking up six years
after the events of Deadpool two,

14
00:00:41.750 --> 00:00:45.628
Wolverine and Deadpool features
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman

15
00:00:45.628 --> 00:00:47.464
joining forces as an odd

16
00:00:47.464 --> 00:00:51.217
couple on a mission to save the universe
from pure destruction.

17
00:00:51.468 --> 00:00:54.637
Sort of like how Myles and I have been
spending a bunch of time together

18
00:00:54.637 --> 00:00:57.015
when my sister attends
her divorce mediation sessions.

19
00:00:58.391 --> 00:00:59.851
We've had

20
00:00:59.851 --> 00:01:02.854
a great few days, haven't we, Myles?

21
00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:06.983
Myles.

22
00:01:07.233 --> 00:01:09.194
What are you playing there, buddy?

23
00:01:09.194 --> 00:01:12.197
Pokemon.

24
00:01:12.489 --> 00:01:12.655
Yeah.

25
00:01:12.655 --> 00:01:13.656
You want to?

26
00:01:13.656 --> 00:01:16.659
You want to do the next part
of the review, bro.

27
00:01:17.035 --> 00:01:20.038
Let me give you thoughts on the movie.

28
00:01:21.122 --> 00:01:22.332
Could you at least

29
00:01:22.332 --> 00:01:25.335
turn the volume off while we're filming?

30
00:01:25.752 --> 00:01:28.755
Kind of messes with the audio.

31
00:01:31.633 --> 00:01:32.842
Jesus Christ.

32
00:01:32.842 --> 00:01:37.055
What helps Deadpool and Wolverine
transcend the typical Marvel outing

33
00:01:37.055 --> 00:01:41.142
is the surprising depth these characters
friendship brings to the screen.

34
00:01:41.309 --> 00:01:43.061
Although the no nonsense Wolverine

35
00:01:43.061 --> 00:01:46.898
doesn't always see eye to eye
with Deadpool over the film's runtime,

36
00:01:46.898 --> 00:01:50.360
they learn to rely on
and even respect each other,

37
00:01:50.568 --> 00:01:53.571
respect?

38
00:01:53.571 --> 00:01:54.864
You understand what that means,

39
00:01:54.864 --> 00:01:57.867
don't you, Myles?

40
00:01:57.909 --> 00:02:00.912
Miles.

41
00:02:01.412 --> 00:02:04.666
Hey, listen, I'm begging you here, pal.

42
00:02:06.126 --> 00:02:08.419
Oh, enough with the switch, okay?

43
00:02:09.796 --> 00:02:10.755
Oh, I know.

44
00:02:10.755 --> 00:02:14.384
Maybe tell the audience how much fun
you had at the advanced screening.

45
00:02:14.884 --> 00:02:17.595
I know how much you love Wolverine.

46
00:02:17.595 --> 00:02:20.348
I even saw that poster in your bedroom.

47
00:02:20.348 --> 00:02:21.307
Are you in my bedroom?

48
00:02:21.307 --> 00:02:22.392
Pervert.

49
00:02:22.392 --> 00:02:25.395
Yeah. No, no, that's not very nice.

50
00:02:25.603 --> 00:02:28.690
Thanks to the shorthand
of veteran director Shawn Levy,

51
00:02:29.023 --> 00:02:32.026
the film always moves along at a swift
clip.

52
00:02:32.318 --> 00:02:34.988
However.

53
00:02:34.988 --> 00:02:37.323
Seriously, what the fuck are you doing?

54
00:02:37.323 --> 00:02:40.160
You can see that
we're filming here, right?

55
00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:43.621
Do you even care if this episode
of the Film Standard even goes out?

56
00:02:44.247 --> 00:02:46.875
I don't even watch his movies
ending with the rest.

57
00:02:46.875 --> 00:02:48.209
Don't be mean.

58
00:02:48.209 --> 00:02:49.210
You're a perv.

59
00:02:49.210 --> 00:02:50.879
I can not stop saying that.

60
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.839
Seriously, I'm not a pervert.

61
00:02:52.839 --> 00:02:53.173
Okay.

62
00:02:53.173 --> 00:02:56.176
You know, sit your ass down.

63
00:03:00.305 --> 00:03:03.224
I don't want to hear a word out of
you until I'm done reviewing.

64
00:03:05.143 --> 00:03:05.977
Ultimately,

65
00:03:05.977 --> 00:03:10.231
Deadpool and Wolverine is a blockbuster
experience perfect for franchise

66
00:03:10.231 --> 00:03:14.444
Star Wars, but one I fear might fail
to appeal to the average filmgoer.

67
00:03:14.444 --> 00:03:18.323
What redeems the film
somewhat is not the high octane action

68
00:03:18.323 --> 00:03:21.367
we've come to expect from superhero
franchises, but rather

69
00:03:21.367 --> 00:03:25.246
the subtly touching relationship
between Deadpool and Wolverine,

70
00:03:25.997 --> 00:03:29.000
a relationship
I hope Miles and I can one day

71
00:03:30.168 --> 00:03:31.628
hang on.

72
00:03:31.628 --> 00:03:33.922
Where's Miles?

73
00:03:33.922 --> 00:03:35.048
Oh man.

74
00:03:35.048 --> 00:03:36.966
He's gone.

75
00:03:36.966 --> 00:03:39.636
Miles.

76
00:03:39.636 --> 00:03:40.720
Miles.

77
00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:43.306
Hey, pal.

78
00:03:43.306 --> 00:03:45.683
shit.

79
00:03:45.683 --> 00:03:48.686
My sister's going to kill me.

80
00:03:54.067 --> 00:03:54.734
for the onions.

81
00:03:54.734 --> 00:03:56.986
Film standard. I'm Peter Rosenthal.
