Last weekend I joined millions of people worldwide in helping “Deadpool & Wolverine” set records for the sixth-biggest film opening of all time. When my husband and our friends decided to make an outing of it, we didn’t see it in those terms.
We simply wanted to hang out, enjoy some laughs and take it in before social media and our news feed spoiled the surprises. And Ryan Reynolds’ fan service vehicle did not disappoint. Chock full of chuckles, the movie unites Reynolds’ Deadpool with his one-time "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" co-star Hugh Jackman to revive the clawed cigar aficionado, last seen in 2017’s “Logan,” the film that was meant to close the “Wolverine” trilogy.
