The best way I saw this movie and will advise anyone else to see it is to keep away from previews and spoilers (if that is possible). This is a fun movie to see and although it is not the best superhero movie there is other there, it is good enough for anyone to go see.

This movie may be a bit difficult to follow if you are not someone who has been watching all the superhero movies from the late 90s until now. In fact, this movie was made for people in their 30s and above, and I do not think the writers, producers and makers are apologetic about it. Because there are a lot of cameos and many jokes that only people who have been watching superhero movies from the late 90s will understand.

You can tell that the movie was a fun project, and you can tell that everyone had fun on set making the movie. Some of the critic’s points about this movie are obvious to see when you watch the movie, but it did not mar the experience of seeing it. I, too, felt the plot could have taken another path which would have been more fun. I also felt there were way too many CGI moments, which could have been reduced (but maybe it was not possible).

It is the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and it is a sequel to Fox's Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018), before Disney bought Fox and now own the X-Men characters. So, this is the first cinematic release from that purchase that has to do with the Marvel Universe, and it kept to its R rating.

The movie plot is very simple. Deadpool/Wade (Ryan Reynolds) wants to mean something, wants to matter (because his girlfriend just dumped him). So, he decided to see if he could join the Avengers by jumping from his timeline, Earth-10005 to the MCU timeline, Earth-616 using Cable's time-travelling device (from Deadpool 2 (2018)). He did not get the part and decided to go back to his timeline and hang up his Deadpool life and be an ordinary Joe.

During his birthday, he got a visit from the TVA (Time Variance Authority). They capture him and bring him to Mr. Paradox. Paradox tells him that he has been offered a place on Earth-616 (the MCU avengers timeline) so he can get his opportunity to join the Avengers. There is a catch though, he cannot go back to his timeline because the Logan of his timeline (from the Fox Movie Logan) is dead, and since he (Logan) is the anchor of Earth-10005 timeline, his death will bring an end to Earth-10005.

Knowing Wade, and since all the people he cared about are in the timeline he is coming from, he uses Cable’s device to jump through different Earth timelines looking for a Logan (Wolverine) that he can take to his. But you can guess that things do not work like that and soon, he and the Logan he got were sent to the void by Paradox as Wade does not want to play along. With his world at stake, Wade needs to find a way to get out of the void and stop Paradox and save his world.

There is one catch, though, this Logan he has with him, is the worst Logan he could have found in all the entire multiverse.

You should see this movie – it is worth it.
