Deadpool and Wolverine ******

I am not much for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, even though I camped outside Beaumont Pharmacy every Thursday until I owned the first 100 issues of the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Avengers and so on... 60 years ago. (All destroyed in a basement flood while I was away at MIT). I've seen a few MCU movies, but I'm far from a completist. And so it is that I gingerly bestow six stars.

I have tried to learn over the years not to review a film's budget, but I have rarely had occasion to try to avoid reviewing a film's box office. If you're alive and alert you know the basket of records this film has already broken.

I did see and enjoy the previous Deadpool movie. This one is bigger, louder and more impressive. If, like me, you're not great on the whole pantheon, sit next to an MCU expert, who can help you understand the more obscure inside references and the more obscure cameos. Of course, you don't need to know much to laugh at a Deadpool line, aimed at a fellow superhero, whom he refers to as "Mr. PG-13," in comparison to Deadpool's R rating.

In short: Run don’t walk to see Deadpool and Wolverine. Hysterically funny, unbelievably foul-mouthed, ultra violent, exploding heads. A laugh riot. And a 100 Deadpools from throughout the multiverse.
