Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds are taking the Marvel world to new heights with Deadpool & Wolverine. Despite being rated R and excluding the younger audience, it raked in $211 million at the box office over the weekend. After screening the film earlier this week, it's clear that these numbers aren’t surprising—this movie is truly that good!

Before diving into the rating, here’s some tea on what you can expect. As one of the first Deadpool films to be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with the rights reconciled with FOX, the plot twists and turns at every moment. Continuing with the familiar themes of family, love, and “mattering,” Deadpool is on a quest for the “right Logan” (Hugh Jackman from the X-Men films) to help him save his family and his world. After tracking down his target, fighting him, and making an “educated wish” that evolves into a partnership, they embark on their mission. Along the way, they not only battle villains but also take jabs at each other—literally. They also encounter old friends previously licensed to 20th Century Fox, leaving Deadpool in awe, which he isn’t shy about expressing.

This film is fun and full of action from start to finish. Few movies make the credits as fun and engaging as Deadpool does, and in this installment, they take us back to the '90s with NSYNC’s legendary song and choreography for “Bye, Bye, Bye.” The soundtrack is stellar, blending genres seamlessly and featuring obscure tracks that heighten the humor during those graphic, violent fight scenes. With “Deadpool,” you know you'll be laughing from start to finish, but what makes this one special are the jokes that play with licensing issues and common criticisms. Overall, Deadpool & Wolverine is a must-see! 10 out of 10 with no notes.
