Deadpool is back!  But this time, it’s personal.  After the funny, entertaining, game-changing first film, the Merc with the Mouth changes gears in this sequel, which offers up more blood, characters, action, and, more impressively, more depth and emotion. After tragedy strikes our foul-mouthed mercenary, Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) must find a new meaning of life and does so in a troubled mutant named Russell (Julian Dennison).  When Russell is being hunted…

      This is a 100% SPOILER FREE review, so if the length is a little short, it’s for you as a reader to not be spoiled.     The 2018 cinematic event is finally here!  After eighteen movies over the past ten years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has come to this point, where the heroes that we have grown to love over the last decade face their biggest challenge yet: Thanos, an intergalactic…
