Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Three questions
- Is Deadpool 2 scary?
- Only a little. Deadpool 2 has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
- How gory is Deadpool 2?
- Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
- What is Deadpool 2 rated, and is it OK for kids?
