Deadpool & Wolverine is now available for digital download from online retailers and also on disc formats. The movie stars the unlikely duo of Deadpool and a very reluctant Wolverine as they come together to save the world. This is a very different and irreverent Marvel film with a lot of adult language, adult humor, and a lot of fun.
Quality
This is a movie that looks great on a big screen and thankfully, Daps Magic used a big-screen TV to review it. The viewing experience is everything one would expect from Marvel Studios. It also was really fun getting to see Wolverine in the costume I grew up seeing him in and having it look awesome. The accompanying audio filled the room wonderfully and had the right feel for the film. Overall, Deadpool & Wolverine offers a high-quality movie viewing experience.
Extras
The extras that are included with Deadpool & Wolverine are enjoyable to watch. As is the case with a solid set of bonus features, I found myself wishing for more after they ended. They are all fairly quick, entertaining, and have some interesting tidbits found in them as well. I particularly liked the featurettes, but all of the offerings were good.

Final Thoughts
Deadpool & Wolverine was a very pleasant surprise to watch. While I’m not a huge fan of some of the violent gore, this didn’t go as far as I was expecting. This is definitely an adult movie but it is a funny and entertaining one. As soon as it ended I understood why it did so well at the box office (became the most successful R-rated film to date). The accompanying bonus features were fun to watch and I walked away from the entire experience feeling hopeful for whatever comes next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I don’t know if this will open new doors for the MCU but… I definitely would like it if it did! I give this a solid hat tip. This is a fun ride and a good change for the MCU.
