Movies like this are the reason I watch movies. The film doesn't promise you anything, and the plot sounds kind of silly. It even starts out a little weak, but it draws you in and doesn't let go, and by the end you don't even care that you just watched a movie that all took place in a small room. Amazing film.
Yeah, this is science fiction at his best. The fact that the entire movie plays inside a living room that there are no special effects and that all they do is talk does not make this a bad movie. With the right cast and script it could be good and in this movie they played it out to perfection. The director made the right choice by doing it this way. any other way would have failed miserably. The idea that one man could live thousands of years wandering around the world meeting historical people and being someone that made a huge impact on the world himself is inspiring.
Im a fairly harsh grader, this one got a 9. I loved this movie so much. This movie introduced so many subplots of the dc universe, that I had to stop it serveral time to google what was being mentioned. Is WW jealous of LL? Also nearly all of my most favorite characters are here, Supes, of course, Martian Manhunter, Damian and Steel, yes, freaking STEEL! Lex was on the Micheal Rosenbaum level of Lex. And we also have a ton of mystery being introduced. Its clear DC is concentrating on TV shows and these direct video animated movies rather than the big screen. An excellent approach if you ask me, because I have watched all of em, especially the arc with Damian, this little dude nearly killed Superman in one of the movies, he's better than his pops. Generally I live for the next Star Wars movie, and pray for another Stargate anything, but for now, all I want to see is the next series of movies that will come from this masterpiece.
Oh yeah, why did I give it a 9? No Brainiac. The bar has been set by Krypton, Smallvile and other movies, no Brainiac, no 10. Damn I cant wait for Wonder Man!
This was a great take on a dark past, bringing comedy and satire to the forefront, and I absolutely loved it! While being comedic, there are many emotional parts to the film, which I was rather surprised to see. One moment you're laughing hard, the next you're on the edge of balling your eyes out. I never would have expected to see a film quite like this done on Nazi Germany, it was very well made.
With this being Roman's first-ever professional acting job, I was incredibly impressed - he is awesome, and I certainly look forward to his next project(s). He was able to capture the rollercoaster of emotions, thoughts and feelings that may be going through a child growing up in Nazi Germany—who is being told who is okay and who is not—with ease. Taika never fails to please me with his work, and Stephen is a very funny actor. The way that Hitler was mocked through Taika really adds into the thought that not everyone is as strong as they are said to be. Thomasin brings in lots of emotion, and Roman just blows the film out of the park.
Seeing it for my 7th time, I think I'd probably upgrade this from one of the best films of 2019 to one of the best films of the decade.
I shall certainly be seeing this several more times, and I definitely recommend it.
You know how Kick Ass was such a great film and then the second one was a bomb because we'd seen it all before? Well, guess what -- you won't have that impression at all with Deadpool 2. The jokes are funnier and the action is action...ier. What's more, we don't have to Wade through all of the back origin story so this film cuts straight to the chase. I rated the first Deadpool 9/10, and this one 8/10 because it is slightly derivative and the final scene goes on a tad too long, but honestly, if I'd seen this one first I'd have given it a 9.
So.
I cried.
A lot.
And it made me so f mad and angry.. I will not be having a kid for a long time yet..
Ah! Mads: a delight to watch as always.
I love the thought behind this. Valuable history lesson in a futuristic setting
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.
I loved this movie with all my heart!!Finally a main female character with a great personality..
I LOVE SNOWCONE THE REINDEER.
Make no mistake. This is not a great movie. But somehow I enjoyed it. Maybe it's a combination of Dolby Vision + good music. It's just beautiful to look at. I would definitely watch the sequel Ibiza 2: Tokyo!
I don't watch many animated movies but this one took my heart. It has really great story line and great work.
The most amazing movie I have ever watched. I feel very special that I get to watch this movie.
This is one of the best stories I have ever heard, hands down. I loved it the way it is, and after the 4th or 5th time watching it I start to imagine how epic a remake with flashbacks would be. This is definitely a world I want to see come to life.
Amazing, full of laughs, full of tears. Optimisitic in the end.
You must see it.
A must watch for everyone in India.
This movie is weird,funny and beautiful.
It shows that how a typical Indian family stays together even in the most embarrassing and difficult times.There love for each other never ends.
Aayushman Khurana's expressions at the end was so natural.
Absolutely wonderful!! Amazing film with an emotional final.
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.
Definitely in the top 5 DC Animated movies to date. I would argue that it could be the best one. This is what the Justice League movie should have been. Hopefully part 2 can live up to it's predecessor. Animation, Voice acting and story were spot on. Be sure to watch it all the way through the credits!!!
DC Knows How To Making Animated Movies & This Is Probably One Of The Top 5 They Have Made To Date. On Part With Flashpoint And A Few Others That I Can Think Of. I Don't Know Why The Justice League Movie Wasn't Nearly As Good As This, Animation Is Amazing, Voice Acting & Story Were Spot On.
Shouldn't Be Missed & Will Be Thoroughly Enjoyed. Watch It All The Way Through. We Need More DC Animated Movies, Can't Get Enough Of Them.
One night out of nowhere Lotje Sodderland ends up in the hospital because of a stroke. The film takes you on Lotjes journey of recovering with all it’s ups and downs.
This film made me so sad, and I didn’t really know why. Lotje shows herself as such a beautiful, strong, happy and optimistic woman. In the end I think what made me sad was the fact that she didn’t deserve to go through all that. But then again, nobody does. I could feel her struggle with finding words, writing and even reading. Every time she couldn’t find the words for something all I wanted to do was help her.
This is such a strong movie and it gave me the time to reflect on the fact that these things happen as well, having a stroke is a something so big for the people who have them and the people around those people. You never really hear anything about it though and this documentary gives us the opportunity to reflect on it, to think about it and to understand.
I really enjoyed the footage that Lotje filmed herself, it made it so much more personal. I think the way they brought the colours into the footage was great as well, first I thought “This probably isn’t what Lotje is really seeing” but then I thought, maybe it is. She had a say I everything, she is one of the directors, so she must have told and explained how everything looked and felt. That made me feel so much closer and it helped me understand even better. You became part of the experience.
Although I sometimes didn’t really understand the medical terms, or the things the doctors where saying, I learned so much from this documentary. I think everyone should watch it, interested in the brain or in people who recover from strokes or not, it is worth it.
This is energetic movie and i think it's 'bout full on live in the moment.
