Deadpool & Wolverine was solid. If you liked the first 2 you'll like this one. If you didn't then you'll probably not like this one either, unless you're just a huge Wolverine fan. It very much is a Deadpool movie first and foremost for all the good and bad that entails. The one advantage this one has over the previous 2 is that there is some real pathos here courtesy of Hugh Jackman being a very good actor. I think the Cable stuff from the second film kind of touches on similar emotions but it's better done here.
A Quiet Place: Day One was excellent. I really liked this movie. They captured the tension and confusion of the situation phenomenally. Excellent acting, great set pieces, tight plot. I think the bar scene was incredibly heartfelt. It does kind of struggle with the same issue that the other movies do in that how the monsters work doesn't really make a whole lot of sense if you really think about it. But that's not really what the movie is about and it's easy to overlook when you're watching.
I'm happy to hear this! Increases the chances of me seeing it (as a fan of the series)
