Hugh Jackman – Kings movie reviews

“Deadpool & Wolverine” is a 2024 Marvel Superhero/Action/Comedy movie and also the third installment in the Deadpool series. This one stars Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Hugh Jackman (X-Men), Emma Corrin (The Crown), Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), and Channing Tatum (The Lost City).

Deadpool is back and this time he’s trying to save his timeline and world from being erased out of existence. To do so he must seek out the help of one of the mightiest heroes, Wolverine.

You either love or hate the Deadpool movies, I don’t think there’s no in-between. He’s foul mouthed, sarcastic, breaks the fourth wall, and kills people. In my opinion what’s not to love? This is one of the year’s most anticipated movies, and it also is the highest grossing R rated movie of all time. So how good is it?

If you’re a superhero fan or just a fan of Deadpool, it’s amazing. It is chalked full of celebrity/superhero cameos, that make it worthwhile in its own right. The fight scenes are perfect, not only do we get to see Wolverine and Deadpool fight side by side, but also, we get to see them fight each other. This may be the only movie we’ll get to see that. Plus, Gambit finally gets his time on the big screen. The typical sarcasm, and humor breaking the 4th wall still hold up. It’s definitely worth seeing, I give it a 9/10.

‘Eddie the Eagle’ is a 2015 sport/biography movie with an excellent cast starring Taron Egerton (Rocketman), Hugh Jackman (X-Men: Origins Wolverine), Edvin Endre (Vikings), and Jo Hartley (This is England). ‘Eddie the Eagle’ is a semi-fictional account of the rise to fame of Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards, Britain’s first Olympic Ski jumper since 1929 who competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Eddie overcame several obstacles to get there, with the odds stacked up against him at every turn.

I remember seeing this previewed in theaters and thinking how great of a movie it looked like, but then never saw it released in a theater near me. Luckily, Disney + is currently streaming it, so I was finally able to check it out. Chalk this movie up with the other great feel good, underdog sports movies such as Rudy, Rocky, Invincible, and Cool Runnings. With everything stacked against them they all beat the odds, and we love them because of it, and ‘Eddie the Eagle’ isn’t any different. I’m not sure how much of the story is fiction and what is true, but it’s a great movie that is heartfelt and full of triumph. I found myself cheering out loud for Eddie in the end, I give ‘Eddie the Eagle’ a 7.5/10.
