D&W was a movie...
Message:Which occasionally featured Hugh Jackman talking about what sounded like a much better movie.
SPOILERS (except you can't spoil a movie with no emotional core or coherent plot)
After the first fight between the two indestructible, auto healing guys I figured we could get on with a story. When they parked the car and the indestructible, auto healing guy played by the one who chose actually act pinned the auto healing guy who literally only somewhat works in this franchise and said, "I'm going to fight you now" (meaning the second pointless fight between these characters), I left the theater, used the toilet, and hoped there would be a plot when I got back.
By the time we got to the two indestructible, auto healing guys fighting a hundred indestructible, auto-healing guys I was appreciating how the score composer had chopped up and remixed the Madonna song with new orchestral parts.
By the time the non-indestructible, non-healing guy showed up dressed as one of the indestructible, auto-healing guys, I was on my phone Googleing because I knew that guy had been in the prior film (which I've seen twice), but didn't remember anything him. Then I realized he'd become "normie best friend" because prior "normie best friend" blew up his career by touching people inappropriately and making bomb threats.
By the time the "there's absolutely no way anyone couid ever survive this, because matter and antimatter collisions result in things converting to pure energy" became "handwave away the last five minutes of the movie, because of COURSE we're not killing the titles characters" I was busy mulling over how, of all the unending multiverse movies and TV shows since 2017, only the two animated Spider-Verse movies actually had plot, heart, and metahumor which worked. (cue snowflake whining about "woke" in 3...2...)
Eventually we got to the "Love Interest who wasn't love interest for no explained reason" at the beginning of the film became "love interest is love interest again because it's the end of film" came around I was again Googleing to find out if there was an after credits scene, or if I couid leave.
The aftercredits scene wasn't bad, because Chris Evans rattled off a long string of profanity quickly, with authority, and with more emotion than anything else in the movie - certainly better than indestructible, auto-healing guy recited the same lines earlier in the film.
Female Alpha Villain actress did a valiant job with a crap script.
