The jokes in 2 feel like a 10 year old wrote them, they are repeated all the time.
The characters behavior seem totally out of place, as if its from a parallel universe.
The CGI is actually really bad.
Too much PC and leftist humor injected as well. It feels extremely artificial, like someone wants to screw you over.
I dont know anyone who liked this movie even remotely close as much as the first one, yet the reviews are going through the roof everywhere. Very, VERY weird.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Remember how Bad Santa was a great movie because it focused on the main characters killing law enforcement officers and white collar workers while just randomly making up reasons to kill them on the fly to justify what they where doing? Remember how when you where a kid you always thought superheroes where awesome because of how easily they could kill Timmy while he is trying to put food on his table?
Yeah that's the goal of the power fantasy according to Deadpool 2.

You might argue that such things are often the case but rarely is it this blatant. This movie plays out the power fantasy as if the writers had only had the basic concept explained to them by someone that hates power fantasies.

I loved the first Deadpool movie, I find the over-the-top violence and forth wall breaking shenanigans hilarious, but at some point half way through this movie just lost me as laughter and amazement started to turn in to a dull wait for it to end.

Time for spoilers!
I get it, I get that the guards at the ICE box are all horrible anti-mutant racists and so are the employees at the orphanage. However if you take a step back and look at what the movie actually shows you then what? Deadpool goes on a killing spree killing prison guards and people transporting convicts, we know a few of them hates mutants (not that they deserve to die for that but hey it's a movie so I can accept that as a justification) but we know nothing about the rest.

As for the orphanage? The director is some nutjob that should be locked up for a few years, one guy looked creepy, that's it, that's all we get to know.
Picture this: You get a job at an orphanage for mutant kids, director has some thing he does to the kids that seems to hurt but you don't know **** about mutants and he says it helps them. Also you know there have been generations of kids living here and leaving so if something was wrong the cops should have been here a long time ago right? Then suddenly one day that **** mutant **** that randomly shot your coworker last weak shows up with some woman and a dude with an assault rifle, they torch the place and start to murder people. Do you A) Grab a gun and try to protect the kids from the murderous psychopaths or B) Run for your life?
Also they are screaming about how fun it is to kill pedophiles and everyone are just looking around confused wondering where the hell that came from.

Where Deadpool 2 really fails is that it doesn't mange to set up a real goal for the movie, or a reason for why we need to have super heroes do any of this. Deal with Juggernaut? Sure, that could have been solved by Deadpool and Cable not killing law enforcement officials to begin with. Kid going mental and killing people, see previous statement. Ok so whats the way around that? Well you make the movie all deep and emotional, that's how you work with hat dynamic yet? And they did (tried to). BUT ITS A **** DEADPOOL MOVIE. I did not pay to go and see 20+ minutes of deep and emotional. I paid to see awesome fights between people with superpowers and maybe a couple hundred criminal henchmen being killed. Not just a few superheros slaughtering normal humans out of whom a majority are likely to just be innocent guys trying to live their life while working fairly respectable jobs. "But they fought Juggernaut" yeah for like 30 seconds and at that point they had already lost me. Also that's like the lames guy they could have been put up against to begin with. "Whats your thing?" - "I'm tall and have allot of muscles.." - "k..". On top of that Juggernaut wasn't even the point, he was just a small side note to be used as a plot device for a subplot no one cared about.

The reason I compared the movie to Bad Santa is because it basically comes down to "What if the kid in Bad Santa had a gun and was going to shoot his bullies?". But we don't need the pure awesome that is Deadpool to make that that movie, it's a waste of a character.

And then they have time travel and they use it just about as responsible as you would expect them to, aka not responsibly at all. Look, never have time travel, just don't. If you must send someone forward ONCE or someone back ONCE (from really far in to the future), and preferably never ever back, ever. Yes they ended by making the entire movie pointless and a waste of time as nothing of it ever actually happened because magic wrist watch, it might as well have been a dream. Actually it would have been better if it had just been one of Deadpools deranged dreams, then it would actually have made some **** sense.

Nevertheless, amongst all the comic book genre tomfoolery Deadpool 2 continues, most old and new characters,As expected, installment number two meets Deadpool’s fans eye-to-eye, building off the first one thanks to improved story arcs. Nevertheless, amongst all the comic book genre tomfoolery Deadpool 2 continues, most old and new characters, particularly Vanessa, still a motiveless victim, serve zero plot purpose. Cross my heart when I say this: Vanessa’s so-called motivational words leave no impact on however little story exists, Wade’s unfortunate dad backstory already serves plenty motivation for his emotional state. Likewise, Dopinder receives a dumb unnecessary subplot eager for contract killer work, and Weasel does literally nothing… like, at all. Yet Blind Al still expresses genuine life despite her shades and should still hit your funny bone in the same way she did before.

Now for the new characters. Despite being a relatively good antagonist, Cable’s whole scenario of a future cyborg sent back to execute someone who’ll cause a future tragedy rips-off Terminator. The fourteen-year-old mutant, Firefist, is supposedly there to be an unofficial son figure to Deadpool, yet because of the poor writing that thinks outside in, that piece of heart never ties the film’s emotional beats together. In the first feature, it felt like the characters were all exaggerated by Deadpool’s interpretation of them, but this time around, that feel is gone.

The lazy messages take forever to develop without cleverly exploiting its moral against discrimination. The first motion picture focused on Wade Wilson’s new life once his mutation made him facially resemble a Dorothy/Scarecrow baby, except here, his facial disfigurement never effects the narrative. Though director David Leitch does utilize true nastiness through his crafty exploitations of the anti-hero’s powers, a gritty level quite dissimilar to other superheroes improved off the first installment.

The satisfactory direction indeed allows a few successful pieces of comedy: the very first frame’s jab throw at Logan should guarantee a big hoot! But several other jokes hypocritically focus on criticizing “lazy writing,” which this too is guilty of. Its awkward jumps between emotion and humor triggers laughs only during the worst instances, the hills ever so alive with odd tonal shifts:

A skee-ball token to Wade from Vanessa
A sign for their love like a lounge in Marquesa
Their situation will tug those heart strings
This is one of many odd tonal things.

Funny moments get sandwiched between sadness
Fear for their conflicts will lead you to madness
Martha‘s just one pop culture gag it brings
This is one of many odd tonal things

Although they’re funny these jokes will turn dated
Plus a Brad Pitt cameo so berated
Most tasteless lines will leave some quite foul stings
This is one of many odd tonal things

When the film ends
When the crowd roars
When the viewers’ glad

​I simply remember it mocks all smart folks
And then it will seem… so bad!

By mocking “smart folks,” Deadpool ultimately says to follow your impulses, since anyone following authority deserves public mockery. Its racist intro turns that disdainful attitude quite inappropriate when Deadpool kills Asians to cool music, Kill Bill style, Sicily next on his radar. Most responsibility of this mocking lands on Julian Dennison, an awful child actor who plays Firefist by screaming in a bad accent. He pales beneath some more talented cast members, particularly Leslie Uggams, whose angry nature still acutely depicts Blind Al.

Off a practical perspective, a generic car chase breaks innumerable laws of physics. Deadpool’s powers overall suggest literal immortality, as if his powers’ limitations were apparently made up on the spot throughout the pre-production process. Numerous images attempt to make its action memorable by relying on graphic blood-splatter. The works of Mel Gibson took on infamously gruesome visuals to help advance powerful emotion; Deadpool 2 fails to do the same.

Funny enough, Mr. Pool guy tells you right away while the first feature’s a date movie, this one’s a family movie. He then lies right away about his sex-toy story by saying every great family production starts with a murder: Bambi and The Lion King as prime examples. Ahem, look at E.T., Beauty and the Beast, and WALL-E! Why would credibility exist within a mockery of family productions if the screenwriters misunderstand their functionality? Despite stress on a family message, the interpersonal interactions on screen here suggest the opposite of a family.

Ultimately, him dressed in Bob Ross attire was the only way Deadpool improved my life, leading me right into watching The Joy of Painting on YouTube out of intrigue. Yes, you might call it an instance where the trailer became better than the end product.

I couldn't tell you a DC comic book based movie from a Marvel comic book based movie and not being particularly interested in either I went to see the original "Antman" and Deadpool" because of the actors involved. To my surprise, I enjoyedI couldn't tell you a DC comic book based movie from a Marvel comic book based movie and not being particularly interested in either I went to see the original "Antman" and Deadpool" because of the actors involved. To my surprise, I enjoyed both and was looking forward to their sequels even though, in most cases, the sequels are very disappointing. "Deadpool2" is a very big disappointment in that it throws everything it can on the screen and very little of the sarcasm or irony, let alone course 'humor' comes across. There are 1 or 2 smiles along the way but that is about it.

There is some attempt to make a story about creating your own family which is completely undermined time after time. The film is filled with raunchy words, gestures, crude, rude comments and actions plus a continuous dismemberment of every limb a person has. There are a couple of lines and sights of what one would call banter such as comparing "Yentl"s "Papa, Can You Hear Me" to "Frozen"s "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" but even that would probably go over most of the audience's head. Three screenwriters, including the star along with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, put everything into a movie about a super comic hero that you have seen before and will see again but whereas in the first "Deadpool" it made fun of it all here they try to make fun but fail.

Ryan Reynolds gives it his all which is plenty and his breezy manner help but to no avail. Josh Brolin, as dour as can be doesn't get to laugh whether Reynolds places his bare hands on Brolin's bare butt cheeks or when he lands face down on Reynolds crotch and I wonder if either get hazard pay for these extra stunts?

Morena Baccarin, as Reynolds's love, is beautiful and that is all her role really cares for except to be beautiful even when dead, talking and walking. Stefan Kapicic is an impressive Colossus (at least voice-wise as the 'person' seems to be a special effect), cabbie Rob Delaney, offering some humor, along with a teenage mutant Julian Dennison who is just in an annoying role and a new band of superheroes consisting of Terry Crews, Lewis Tan, Bill Skarsgard along with Rob Delany whose superpower is being an ordinary person. Leslie Uggams returns as a blind neighbor of Deadpool and also new superhero Zazie Beetz who lights the screen up every time she is on it.

"Deadpool 2" is really a waste of money and time so I will give this genre one more chance when the sequel to "Antman" comes out.

Le premier Deadpool était assez rafraîchissant dans l'univers Marvel par son côté provocateur et décalé... il avait déjà cependant son lot de lourdeurs et de maladresses en tout genre, une réalisation perfectible et un humour potacheLe premier Deadpool était assez rafraîchissant dans l'univers Marvel par son côté provocateur et décalé... il avait déjà cependant son lot de lourdeurs et de maladresses en tout genre, une réalisation perfectible et un humour potache discutable... un résultat somme toute moyen... mais un Marvel moyen, c'est déjà un chef-d'oeuvre en soi !

Cette suite qui continue d'abuser des clins d'oeil vis-à-vis du spectateur pousse encore plus loin la déconnade et se perd par la même occasion dans une vulgarité permanente et des blagues prout-prouts de collégien prépubère. A trop en faire, il s'enlise dans une beauferie de très bas étage et une caricature... de caricature.

En même temps, le scénario boulotté sur la fin d'un rouleau de papier-cul recyclé a ses nombreux moments de guimauve à deux balles et de niaiserie donneuse de leçon avec agenda SJW à la clé (cf l'ado chialeux, apprenti-super-héros "discriminé" par son obésité !). Et tout cela sous le couvert d'un ton qui se veut (encore ?) décalé... et à force de se décaler, il finit par caler cet abruti. En vérité, Vidéogag n'est pas très loin et même souvent dépassé, mélangé à du Jackass noyé sous les effets spéciaux surexploités.

On l'a compris, Deadpool est devenu insupportable, de même que ses comparses aussi variés et débiles qui n'ont d'égal que ses dialogues de fond de latrine. Même l'estimable Josh Brolin est venu s'égarer dans cette bouffonnerie hystérique pour la gamelle : c'est triste.

Je n'ai pas pu aller au bout, car même l'action y est boursouflée de prétention et de bêtise ; la réalisation est agitée et dans l'ensemble assez peu lisible... Rien à sauver donc dans cette pantalonnade pitoyable !

Deadpool 1 was lightning in a bottle and it was a very good movie. When I saw this movie backI've wanted to make this review for a LONG time, I still remember when the first Deadpool got the green light for FOX and we could not believe it. Deadpool 1 was lightning in a bottle and it was a very good movie. When I saw this movie back in May of last year (2018) I left my seat confused. I thought to myself ''I must watch it again, it will get better on the second time'' and I did, and it never got to the point that I wish that it did. This movie just wasted itself in front of me and I could not believe it. The jokes did not land, one single time. Cable is just a bland, cliché character, they wasted every interesting character that they showed on the trailers. The plot's just this messy mess that can't get interesting at any time. After the baby legs joke, I lost hope with the movie, Deadpool 2 it's NOT GOOD for me, and I really wanted to like this movie. Expand
