I saw this yesterday. It was OK, there were a couple of good laughs but I thought there was a bit more emphasis on pop culture / MCU humour than ‘out and out silliness’.
If you go back to the original, there’s that scene where he takes off his mask to reveal a paper mask of Wolverine. More than half of the humour here is not ‘pop culture’ but just the fact how ridiculous it is that he’s wearing it. I’m not sure if it’s because there is less of it, but sort of humour doesn’t hit as hard in D&W.
The other sort of humour that’s missing is the ‘feeling of ambivalence’. Everything in D&W feels very carefully engineered and at times a little forced… perhaps that’s only because the original felt so fresh.
I had similar feelings with DP2 so if you liked that, you’ll have a great time with this probably.
7/10
P.s. I actually found the Hot Ones (hot wings) challenge they did recently on YouTube pretty funny so that’s worth a watch.
