In the new Marvel Comics-inspired movie "Deadpool And Wolverine," Ryan Reynolds revisits his role as the wise-cracking antihero Deadpool, while Hugh Jackman returns as the fiercely brooding Wolverine from the "X-Men" films. Our critic Justin Chang says the new movie is as rude and crude as its target audience will want and expect but that it also offers a few nuggets of nostalgia for old-school X-Men fans. Here's Justin's review.
