An R-rated superhero team-up tops the DVD releases for the week of Oct. 22.
“Deadpool & Wolverine”: Irascible potty-mouthed superhero Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) teams up with stoic Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in a farewell salute to 20th Century Fox’s Marvel era (as produced by Disney).
“At the risk of saying anything about what the film is about, at all, the story follows Deadpool as he recruits Wolverine to help him save his own little corner of the multiverse, because Deadpool likes his friends,” writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. “This iteration of Wolverine, aka Logan, could use a little personal redemption, anyway, though the majority of the runtime finds the two squabbling incessantly in what’s essentially an enemies-to-lovers storyline.”
