Deadpool 2 2018

If you love Deadpool 1, you WILL be disappointed! But otherwise . Good movie on its own
Unless you are a fanboy(i mean this without being rude). its ok if you personally love it. But yes it is not as funny as Deadpool 1, full stop.

Deadpool 1 had a simple plot a simple storyline, simple budget. And so they killed it in writing, the jokes 4th wall breaks were off the chart. It was character driven story.

Deadpool 2 is a plot driven story. and the plot is just weak. The plot center is this kid Russell who is not well written and turns out to be annoying and not worth it honestly. But to each his own I guess.

Deadpool himself kills it and tries to carry it throughout. If you can love the movie solely on that. You will enjoy it.

Lot of jokes may not pander to international audience easily. I had hard time understanding few lines. But I can imagine they are funny. Will see it again with references

Cable was good, but underused in my opinion. I was expecting him to blow Deadpool's mind and imagining them to be each other's throat throughout the film.

That does not happen. The plot shifts. Cable joins deadpool. actually saves him in the end. while the villain is juggernaut. xmen 3 last stand memories anyone??

I saw DP1 again recently before seeing DP2 and I was laughing out loud at most stuff and the movie kept me hooked. DP2 does not do that. There are scenes in which I was waiting for things to move along.

It also suffers from the "trailer" effect. You know where you have seen most jokes and cool stuff in the trailer itself. And then in the movie you expect more but end up with nothing.

One awesome joke I found in trailer was Deadpool saying to Domino that YESS XFORCE IS DERIVATIVE!! . They cut it for some reason. He simply ignores her and says NO ONE ASKED FOR UR OPININON PETER. I mean why??

Some humor felt forced dare i say. I mean too much MCU and DC remarks.

but some humor really kicked ass.

In short I may not want to see it again on theaters. Deadpool 1 I could have seen it over and over agian.

Many people may disagree. I write this objectively.

Good Luck.

UPDATE:
went for it the second time. (because i had time to kill and i was nearby).
i do not want to redact anything. i stick by my comments and score. "you can enjoy this. but not as good as dp1"
there are lot of referential humour instead of contextual ones so some jokes will be hard to understand as i said before.

[7.6/10] I don’t come to Deadpool for the plot. The first film featuring the “Merc with a Mouth” was a hilariously outré romp when it was poking fun at conventional superhero flicks and a duller indulgence when it was aping them. The second film dutifully follows in those same, blood-stained footsteps.

There is a story being told in Deadpool 2, one of personal loss, the reconstruction of a fractured family, and shared life experiences bringing disparate individuals together. But these are the vegetables you must eat to enjoy the sugary desserts that the movie otherwise exists to dole out. The film’s narrative is the plain white rice director David Leitch uses to convey his cinematic concoction of flamin’ hot cheetos, atomic wings, and donkey sauce to the audience.

So while the film musters a cute pairing between Deadpool and a well-rounded, picked on young man, and sets Wade Wilson on a quest to figure out the meaning of his ultimate “F-word” -- family, the real fun of Deadpool 2 comes when the film acknowledges (often directly through its fourth-wall breaking antagonist) that this is a stock story, one that fits Wade Wilson well enough, but mainly exists to support the gags and action that are the character’s stock and trade rather than a compelling tale in and of itself.

But the balance of that is much better in Deadpool 2 than in the character’s first film. The movie recaptures the fun, ribald chemistry between Wade and his girlfriend, Vanessa, but still has trouble mining that for pathos rather than humor. Beyond an oddly touching acoustic cover of Aha’s “Take On Me,” it belabors the strained connection between the pair, but thankfully makes it a smaller (if still important) part of the movie.

The same goes for the surrogate dad routine the film has Deadpool play for young Firefist, a budding X-man in an abusive hospital for mutants. There’s a lesson buried in there somewhere about Wade Wilson having a heart, and after a loudly noted rock bottom, bouncing back to empathize and even sacrifice for the kid. But the part of the story devoted to Deadpool reaching his epiphany is mercifully minimal, largely sidelined in favor of the parts where it’s a throughline for the character’s Bugs-Bunny-in-spandex routine.

But what a routine! Given the glut of superhero cinema these days, the genre has been aching for a strong spoof that to poke fun at its excesses and note the silliness of the whole enterprise. That’s where Deadpool 2 shines.

The film has plenty of direct references to the other cape flicks du jour. While fighting a hulking bad guy, Deadpool spouts the same “sun’s real low” line used to subdue a familiar gargantuan green counterpart. When Cable (Josh Brolin, pulling double duty in comic book movies this summer) offers his grim and gritty riposte, Deadpool wonders if he’s from the D.C. Universe. And between references to specific comic book issues, creators who can’t draw feet, and helmets that “smell like Patrick Stewart,” Deadpool is cheerily intertextual in his callouts.

There’s also plenty of fourth-wall breaking fun to be had in a similar vein. Wade Wilson may look directly at the camera to note a “big bowl of foreshadowing.” He’ll poke fun at in-universe rival Wolverine for copying him with an R-rated box office success. He even calls out how odd it is that everytime he ends up at the Xavier School for Mutants, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead are the only ones around.

Sure, some of this is fairly easy, a mad-libs of references that any casual superhero fan of recent vintage would get mixed in with a few gems for the diehards, but it’s also something no one else is doing on this scale. The fact that we’re getting a superhero spoof on the big screen, set in the X-Men universe, made on a sizeable budget with actors who, as Deadpool himself winkingly notes, have appeared in Avengers: Infinity War and Green Lantern and other caped crusades of varying quality is no small thing.

Deadpool 2 is, more than its predecessor, an episode of Robot Chicken, extended to cinematic length and scale, with the blessing (and more importantly the IP) of the studio and an intertextual bent to match the film’s self-consciously juvenile stylings. That may or may not be your speed, but it’s at least a little remarkable, and offers something no other comic book film on the silver screen has.

That said, the scale works both for and against Deadpool 2. The action scenes are occasionally inventive -- with Deadpool’s bullet-slashing moves that have been spliced into every trailer or his resourceful use of his own broken arm to strangle an opponent -- but many are hacked to bits in the editing room. For every bit of bloody, slow-motion glory that revels in the cartoony, red-splattered violence of the film, there’s three scenes of the same undifferentiated punch-and-kick fest you could find in mid-to-big budget action flick.

The one consistent exception to this is Domino. In addition to having a delightfully blasé attitude and an excellent repartee with Deadpool, this newcomer to the franchise can also boast the best action scenes. Domino’s power is luck, and while Wade Wilson may complain about how contrived and uncinematic that is, that ability forces the directors and animator to come up with creative sequences where the conflagration of fists and metal always breaks her way.

While other fights in the film suffer from the usual pathology of empty CGI, Domino’s skirmishes always have that extra wrinkle to keep things fresh and interesting.

That’s Deadpool 2’s M.O. It doesn't linger on any one thing for too long, moving its story along while tossing in liberal doses of gallows humor (including a hilarious homage to Suicide Squad), reference humor, potty humor, and other odes to pop culture past and various bits of juvenalia. If one strain of humor isn’t your thing, or a scene isn’t immediately working, then stick around, because the next gag is coming in a hurry.

That’s what I’m after when I go to see a Deadpool movie. Lord knows we have no shortage of options, both past and present, for different flavors of superhero flicks. Despite that, the Deadpool franchise is the only one serving up this particular dish, one that’s a mix of outlandish, hemoglobin-filled fisticuffs, omnipresent meta humor, and a decidedly unserious take on a genre that the world is increasingly taking more seriously (as the box office demands). Deadpool 2 is not for everyone, and its efforts at an emotional story or lesson mainly get in the way of its charm, but when the film is working, it’s unlike anything else in the superhero industrial complex, there to make you laugh and recoil and laugh again at the latest group of men in tights to acknowledge, tongue-firmly-in-cheek, how silly their deal is.

Saw It & Loved It!

The Great part is Deadpool is funny as ever and Ryan Reynolds keeps up a fantastic performance and really gives it his all and Josh Brolin was dead on As Cable, he transferred the comic version to the screen, the gritty feeling of a serious and tough character of the X-Men. Jokes are really funny when they hit, and they hit hard. The second line of characters in this movie were fun and entertaining, and they really took advantage of it, and Deadpool took some hits at their "partners" in crime with their jokes.

They literally went balls out with the jokes, action, and bloody scenes that I was surprised this wasn't NC-17. I just loved every moment of it honestly, I kept laughing and enjoying it. They tested the waters in the first movie, but in DP2 they were just crossing the line any time they can and it was fantastic. The story has a few twists I wasn't really expecting which was a real surprise, it was little too long for my opinion but the comedy, action, and fight scenes did a great job of keeping me thoroughly entertained and in my seat, loving every moment of it. Loved the X-FORCE joke, won't ruin it for anyone, when you see it, you will get it. The first movie trys to shock you this one takes it to another level, isn't better then DP1, I don't think so but it's as entertaining as hell, fantastic characters, and another great Marvel movie. So now lets see what they do with Deadpool & Ryan Reynolds.

Credit Scenes:
Mid-Credit Screens to see the short and worth the wait, and one more, and no ending credit screen so after the second one you can take off.

Deadpool 2:s största styrka är dess mörka humor och de fortfarande välsittande självreferenserna. Själva intrigen är rätt så klichéartad men emotionellt berör denna film mera än den föregående. Största delen av den första filmens wow-effekt har dock förbrukats och det känns inte lika fräsch eller originellt längre. Det märks dock att Ryan Reynolds alldeles klart älskar rollen som Deadpool, eftersom han spelar karaktären med omättad energi och glädje.

Det tar en god stund för filmen att komma igång eftersom en hel del fokus sätts på intrigdriven drama istället för den svarta humorn som var så påtaglig i den första filmen. Men då Josh Brolins bov Cable (återigen en Marvelbov med karaktär och djup, i likhet med Brolins Thanos) äntligen dyker upp, lyfts filmen upp till en helt ny nivå. Dessutom utnyttjas de nya karaktärerna, med Domino i spetsen, på ett värdigt sätt. Actionscenerna är större och modigare jämfört med den förra filmen och fungera utan undantag väl. Slutet fungerar också väl och skapar ett intressant band mellan Deadpool och Cable.

Summa summarum: Deadpool 2 återanvänder mycket av det som gjorde den första filmen så bra, men den har en svagare första akt. Boven och actionscenerna fungerar dock mycket bättre och filmen lyckas även förmedla verklig känsla.

I have to say that I quite enjoyed this movie. Was there a lot of juvenile jokes? Oh yes. Was the characters sometimes over the top and silly? Yes again. Was the script and story anything to write home about? Of course not! Was there a lot of gratuitous violence? Hell yes! But then, this was pretty much what could be expected. Anyone offended or surprised by this should not really have picked this movie in the first place.

Despite the fairly juvenile jokes, the sometime illogical script and the way over the top chop-chop-and-chop-some-more violence I had great fun watching this movie. I really enjoyed the action sequences a’la Kill Bill, the special effects and yes, the jokes. Most of the time at least)

Everything was so silly and over the top that it actually became funny. Each scene, taken by itself, would probably have been considered silly, or even bad, by me but stringed together in the context of the movie as a whole it just worked. For me at least.

The action sequences, CGI and everything that should be in a superhero movie was, in my mind, quite good. Also, despite not really being anything to write home about the story was quite adequate. Simple, straightforward and a lot better than the crap that a lot of the stuff that social and political correctness preaching writers at Marvel are spewing out these days.

I definitely liked Cable as the hard hitting ass-kicking cyborg. When Domino was first introduced I was not impressed, even though she’s hot. I mean, luck as a superpower? However, when she started to pull all these hilarious stunts with these incredibly unbelievable chains of events I quickly changed my mind. Oh, and I did like Deadpool of course. That goes without saying. If you do not like the main protagonist it is difficult to like the movie itself is it not?

Most of the other characters were between okay and so so. The one character I never really liked was Firefist. He was never funny, just incredibly stupid and childish.

The team of fellow mutant “warriors” that Deadpool pulled together? Well let’s say that I am not that disappointed that they were somewhat “expendable” but it looks like that was the whole point of it. When the first of them whammed into that bus I thought “What the f…?” and then it just continued with one gory event following another. Nice touch with the blue blood by the way. I guess the guy was an alien after all.

To sum it up, a lot of the movie was pretty much what I expected but altogether I think I was positively surprised. Two hours of great fun actually.

Initial Reaction
After two viewings

The Good
• Deadpool himself is as funny as ever. Ryan Reynolds keeps up a fantastic performance and really gives it his all.
• Cable is also really good. Josh Brolin, despite being in many movies this year. Has given a great performance.
• Jokes are really funny when they hit, and they hit hard.
• Secondary characters are also really well done. Some anyway. More on that, below in the spoilers
• It has a true charm to it. Making it more distinct than the first. But not outshining it.
• The action was on point. The director really knows how to capture a great fight scene, and there are plenty here to enjoy and marvel at.
• Villain. This point is actually a fairly good one, but also has spoils. So read below if you really want to know. What I can say is that Ajax is nowhere near as memorable compared to the bad guys here.
• The amount of balls this movie has. It just does things, I would never expect them to do. The first movie gave us shocks at what they could say and show. Now they just go and toy with that to the next level. And I loved it.

The Bad
• Plot. It's not the best. It's also not that simple. The first Deadpool was very straightforward even with the time jumps. Here, it's a bit of a mess. Not to mention it's kind of a rip off of T2. But it acknowledges this at least
• Some jokes don't quite land. They reuse some of the same lines from the first movie, and it feels as if it really is lazy writing. As far as it seems, they are trying to make Deadpool's catchphrases more clear. But to me, it was just annoying.
• The jokes seem to build off the story in this. Whereas the first one felt more improvisational and made it seem like the plot revolved around the humour. Here it just seemed like the comedy was slotted into this action film. But it's not all that bad, just let down the overall tone of the movie.
• CGI is actually pretty bad. It's so distracting, it takes away from the comedy they try to sprinkle over it.
• Wade. He is focused on more than the first. And I just didn't like how they were trying to go about it.
• Along with the focus on Wade, the emotional scenes don't mix that well with the comedy like they did in the first.

Other Things
• You're going to want to stick around for the mid-credit sequences. They are some of the best ever in a Marvel movie, and in movies in general.
• There are two mid-credit scenes (almost back-to-back) and no end-credit scenes.

Spoiler Things
• The X-Force joke is so damn good that I can forgive the lack of build in the team up until the very humorous end. Again such a great ballsy move. Props to the studio.
• The villains in this movie, aren't really present in terms of villains. The first Deadpool had a villain, he had to beat him. Done. This sets it up to be all about Cable, but it actually gives us villains that turn out to be the same as Wade. Which is great for a Deadpool movie to show anti-heroes having a connection with the villains they are fighting.

Conclusion
DP2 is not better than the first. It lacks the simplicity and catchy humour that it had. But, it does grab onto you and takes you on a ride that is not as funny, but is just as enjoyable than the original. I don't see it being as rewatchable like the first. But as its own movie, it holds itself up for a fun experience, wonderful character portrayals, and a damn good time.

I loved the first Deadpool so I had very high expectations for this one. I was a little disappointed, I still enjoyed this movie a lot but I didn't love it like I thought I would. Maybe it is because the first one was so fresh and different and simple and the sequel is more of the same just more complicated. It could also be the promotion cycle just overloading on jokes and taking a little bit of the wind of the sails.

First off Ryan Reynolds is still perfect. He lives and breathes Deadpool. Josh Brolin is great too but just doesn't have a ton to do here. Hopefully we see more of him in the future. And a shout out to the fantastic Zazie Beetz. She is amazing in the show Atlanta and now I hope everyone gets to see how wonderful an actress she is. This movie also has a few great cameos too.

The movie itself is a mixed bag. The action is a lot better but the CGI can be pretty bad at times. The plot is bigger but more messy. It does some really unexpected things and I enjoyed that. The jokes are great, at least the ones that land. I think the first movie is constantly funny but this feels more like an action movie with a lot of jokes. There are a ton of references, which most are funny now but I wonder how they will age? The music is pretty good too. The opening credits James Bond rip off is really great.

Overall I liked this movie a lot and want to see it again but not right away. I look forward to seeing more Deadpool and hopefully some X-Force movies.

P.S. This has one of the best mid credits scenes any movie has ever done.

Edit: Watched the Super Duper cut and I didn't notice that much difference. They did change some of the music, I like the original soundtrack better. Still the same Deadpool and some jokes are different. The first half drags and that extra time makes the movie feel a lot longer even though it really isn't.

"Deadpool 2" picks up where the first film left off, with even more action, meta-jokes, and vulgar humor. Ryan Reynolds returns as the titular character, Wade Wilson, and faces off against the villainous Cable (Josh Brolin) while also trying to save a young mutant, Russell (Julian Dennison). The film also introduces the X-Force, a team assembled by Deadpool to aid in his mission.
While the sequel offers plenty of the same humor and action that made the first film a hit, it also has a stronger story and emotional depth. The cast, including Brolin, Dennison, and Zazie Beetz, have great chemistry and bring their own interesting character angles to the story. The film is directed by David Leitch, who crafts some visually stunning action sequences. Overall, "Deadpool 2" delivers on its promise of more action and humor, but also manages to elevate the story and characters from the first film, making it a worthy sequel.

"Deadpool 2" comienza donde lo dejó la primera película, con aún más acción, metabromas y humor vulgar. Ryan Reynolds regresa como el personaje principal, Wade Wilson, y se enfrenta al villano Cable (Josh Brolin) mientras intenta salvar a un joven mutante, Russell (Julian Dennison). La película también presenta a X-Force, un equipo reunido por Deadpool para ayudarlo en su misión.
Si bien la secuela ofrece mucho del mismo humor y acción que hizo que la primera película fuera un éxito, también tiene una historia más sólida y una profundidad emocional. El elenco, que incluye a Brolin, Dennison y Zazie Beetz, tienen una gran química y aportan sus propios e interesantes ángulos de personajes a la historia. La película está dirigida por David Leitch, quien crea algunas secuencias de acción visualmente impactantes. En general, "Deadpool 2" cumple su promesa de más acción y humor, pero también logra elevar la historia y los personajes de la primera película, convirtiéndola en una secuela digna.

Deadpool 2 brings the return of Wade Wilson and all his wisecracks, this time teaming up with a group of mutants he calls X-Force to help save a young mutant named Russell who is being chased by the time traveling Cable.

This is the rare sequel that lives up to the original while at the same time furthering the story of the central character. Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is up to his old tricks, fighting crime and living his best life with his now fiancé Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). When Vanessa is killed by a baddie that Wade didn’t do away with, he falls into despair and tries to end things in a fiery gasoline-fueled explosion in his apartment. Of course, his healing abilities allow him to come back even from that, and team up yet again with Colossus Stefan Kapičić), and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), both returning from the first film.

After an abject failure in their first team-up, Wilson is thrown in a mutant prison with Russell/Firefist (Julian Dennison), a young mutant who had been abused at the hands of the staff of the “Mutant Re-education Center” where he lived. The prison facility is attacked by Josh Brolin’s Cable, taking a break from playing his better-known Marvel villain, Thanos. As Deadpool enters the MCU arena, it will be interesting to see how this is reconciled over the coming years.

Deadpool puts together his team of heroes that he calls X-Force, again failing at the outset of their mission to save Russell, with only Domino (Zazie Beetz) and Wade’s cab driver friend Dopinder (Karan Soni) surviving. In the final standoff, we learn that Cable is not what he seemed at first, and get to see another classic Marvel villain, Juggernaut, appearing on film for the first time since 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand.

Deadpool 2 continues the idiosyncrasies from the first film including breaking the fourth wall and narrating the action at times. There is also a plethora of hidden cameos in the film from such actors as Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Terry Crews. It also deals with the ideas of time travel, something that the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe has delved into more deeply in recent years with Avengers: Endgame and Loki, just to name a few.

What works for the first film, continues to work here. But while the first film is a true origin story, this sequel takes Deadpool in a different direction, shifting from trying to save his damsel in distress by himself, to working with others to save someone not so much unlike himself. I hope that the third film is allowed to work in this same way and not hamstrung by Disney and Marvel executives trying to fit it into the more traditional MCU mold.

I'm not going to write a long one here, I mainly just wanna say please watch the Theatrical Cut of this film as it is by far the best version as the jokes hit better, the action is better and the music is miles better and the Super Duper Cut is just overly long and the jokes are just not as funny.

The story of Deadpool 2 is miles better in my opinion as it revolves around Deadpool basically going off the deep end after something emotionally wrecking happens and he has to start from rock bottom again and just let the insanity ensue. Need to start off with Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson / Deadpool) is still so perfect in this film, casting of Josh Brolin (Cable) though I think could have been cast better it was still a super great performance and the underrated performance in this film is Zazie Beetz (Domino) who I never liked much in the comic but in this film she just makes this character so bad ass and fun.

Like I said I am gonna keep it short and say just please watch this film and just get ready to have even more fun than the first film (just make sure to watch Theatrical Cut).

“I’m Batman”

‘Deadpool 2’ is a massive improvement over the first in terms of film making and having more freedom to go balls to the wall. Not feeling so contained. Having more laughs and soul in this serious drama about the ‘F’ word. Well that’s what Deadpool thinks. A lot more ruthless when referencing other movies or other source materials surrounding this movie.

Now my main issue from the first movie is how colorless and bland the film making was. Something lacking or anything stuck out as memorable in terms of visual comedy. This time it’s directed by David Leitch, best known for John Wick and Atomic Blonde, who added a lot of his mystical tricks into this. How Leitch filmed the action scenes was slick and flowed smoothly. Especially in the musical numbers (played for comedy) that plays along during those sequences as a parody for blockbusters trying to be serious. Also not forgetting the truck chase.

Ryan Reynolds returns as the mouth taking anti-hero, but more crude and plenty of fourth wall breaking to go around. It’s clear from interviews and the behind the scenes that Reynolds is having an absolute blast playing this role. Probably the most fun he’s ever had. Taking past failures into account for humor and doesn't waste time to erase them. Reynolds once again captures the character in spirit through his sharp line delivery and comedic timing. But also giving the character heart by showing a softer side, which stops him from being annoying.

Josh Brolin is having such a great year it’s unbelievable. First ‘Infinity War’, than this, and Sicario 2. I've never seen an actor who’s been in three movies within three months back to back. His physical work and keeping up the straight man phase throughout also adds to the comedy. Never cracking a smile and keeping up the ‘tough guy’ appearance. He commands the scene whenever he appears on screen. Brolin delivers a great performance, what’s new?

While the achievements deserves it's praise, but please keep in mind it’s not perfect by any mean, like a masterpiece level. It’s freaking stupid if you ask me. Some of the CGI looked a bit noticeable and since there’s a lot of jokes, not all land. While all the actors played the parts well, small or big, were excellent either way and have such great chemistry with each other. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said about T.J Miller who was one of the worst parts of the movie. The running gag of “You look like an avocado had sex-” or “you look like Freddy Krueger face-fucked a topographical map” was never funny in the first place. Glad he’s screen time was short. I really hope they kill his character off in the next one, which seems more possibly if you heard the recent news surrounding the actor. Or knowledge his absence.

Other than that, Deadpool 2 is an extremely enjoyable film that succeeds and falls short in certain areas. If you like the first, then you will or probably have enjoyed this. For me, I was laughing and smiling for 2 hours.

Overall rating: Zazie Beetz and Rob Delaney are national treasures.

Bill Skarsgård was in this movie and there was not one Pennywise reference. Writers, you have failed me.

Wow, I am really on the fence about this one. I don't have much to say about this, just, if you enjoyed the first, you'll be fawning all over this one. It's better. I'm not a fan of Tim Miller's original, mostly because of the constant meta humor and terrible, inconsequential story. It just didn't click with me. Making a jab at a popular movie that recently came out isn't clever writing. Deadpool 2 is exactly what you would expect of a sequel that thrives off a film built on fourth wall jokes and inappropriate gags. It's the reason you're in your seat. Thankfully, the jokes are actually more respectful this time around and not as often as expected. The Take-On Me piece is the best thing to come out of the movie; I chuckled. And Cable makes for a great character, actually much more so than the Wade Wilson. Josh Brolin nails every role he's in, which is why I wanted more of him. He's a tragic anti-hero, but unfortunately, his struggles aren't given much attention. He brushes all his reason for being there in the last scene (yes, I get what they were doing), but lacked in any satisfying wrap up for his arc. We instead have to focus on the lamest, eye-roll inducing fat kid, Russel, and his quandary at his abusive orphanage. It's so lame and not interesting, but we're forced to endure it, because it ties back to Deadpool's relationship with his wife. It's the center of the movie, and I couldn't give less of a fuck. They could've gotten a better actor, or something. Given more screen time to the horrible crimes the orphanage is committing, but just, I did not care. And at times, it seems the movie didn't either. There's a few subplots that briefly come up, only to be swept under the rug only minutes later. Whatever happened to the kids Negasonic Teenage Warhead were saving in the finale? What happened to the orphanage, or Russel for that matter, after the battle was over? It might be looking for things that aren't there, but the story felt incomplete. It's a cryptic and broken script that's copying Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Terminator, missing any kind of emotion. This should've been all about Cable, not Deadpool making dumb jokes as a guy gets cut up in a shredder. If you just want a silly action movie, with subpar work of John Wick director David Leitch, pounded together with wacky and gross humor, you will like it. It just didn't do much for me. Not going to remember it in a week.

The strength of Deadpool was Ryan Reynolds and Dead Pool 2 is no different. Certainly, it is already hard to imagine another actor owning the role so well already. The first film set up the tone and showed fans of the comic-book they were in safe hands. Dead Pool 2 tries to add a small amount of character and emotion to what could be a one dimensional and tiring character without losing the formulae that worked so well the first time around. I would have to say that in general, it worked. Fourth walls were destroyed, comic-book culture kicked around with no reverence shown and ultra-violence was peppered gorily throughout.

The main villain played straight-faced by the reliable Josh Brolin is given more motivation and even pathos than in some more poe-faced films. Likewise, Reynolds Deadpool is shown in the same light and even vulnerable although this does sideline Morena Baccarin for the majority of the running time.

TJ Muller and Karan Soni also give way so Hunt for the Wilder People’s Julian Dennison can be thrust-forward as Firefist. I was not entirely convinced by this character or all of the acting on display but if this was a stumbling point it was only a slight trip. Special mentions must go to the Zazie Beetz as Domino who had easily the coolest super-power I’ve seen to date which was only out-cooled by her hair and to the cameo of hilariousness that was Rob Delaney.

The story zipped along at a fast pace was fun and everyone played their part. The special effects were special without being overpowering, the peril, perilous and comic fun, well comically funny.

Whether Dead Pool is strong enough to carry over for a third installment without getting stale or too repetitive is questionable but certainly, the first two dips into this world, in what is a very overcrowded market, have stood up strongly against the opposition.
Certainly not a film for everyone Dead Pool is worth a look but if you are easily offended and do not love irreverence best give it a miss. it probably helps if you have some prior knowledge of the setup but Deadpool is not totally exclusive

Deadpool 2 is worth dipping your toe into…
