I guess I should start by saying that I did find some parts funny and I really liked Cable. However the plot was a mess and fairly dull. I'm aware that the plot isn't a big factor and it is more about the humour but I found many jokes fell flat for me. The first half in particular was fairly boring but I enjoyed the second half far more, and THAT cameo. Overall, Deadpool 2 isn't a flop but it doesn't come close to how good the first film was. I hope they deliver something better for the third instalment.… Expand

Not as good as the original. It's basically just a bunch of crude comedic scenes all patched together with way too much goofing around and talking by Reynolds. It has a paper thin plot and story that makes no sense .

Much of the humour we've already seen and is just repeated from first film.
The character Domino pretty much steals the film really .Her superpower is funny and interesting .
Watching Deadpool getting ripped apart in various ways gets tiresome after awhile .The 'first' death scene ending of the film gets tedious like a bad high school amateur play but then they add on several others.
The whole film just seems to be written on the run.
A few decent laughs,Domino and a couple nice effects make it watchable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to love it, I really did.
I went to see it with huge expectations but they vanished and became just simply ideas, because in the end that's what Deadpool 2 really is; good ideas that never get a real development.

Deadpool is a funny comic book character, yes he pretty much has always been like that and both the writers and Ryan Reynolds have understood it very well but unfortunately what initially works because it feels funny is used in an extreme and excessive way, that too soon for its own good, the character feels like a simple parody, instead of a true developed being.
Yes, the plot tries to give depth with Vanessa's death but what's the point when 5 minutes later he already seems to have forgotten everything to be able to say a joke in time?

The story of Deadpool 2 is too simple and it's not like I was expecting something deeper or dramatic but let's say that it felt quite rushed.

From the cast only Josh Brolin as Cable and Zazie Beetz as Domino manage to be more proactive for the story. The trailers showed X-Force but I'll just say they were a scam as big as Ben Kingsley playing The Mandarin, while Colossus, Negasonic and Dopinder repeat their same supporting roles.

The action is 10 times bigger and better than its predecessor but the CGI at times looks very bad, but definitively Deadpool 2 has better moments than the shooting on the highway of the first film, yet surprisingly, the final battle felt quite anticlimactic.

In summary Deadpool 2 is more of the same only than on a larger scale and that was disappointing.
It's still fun but the same joke doesn't work the same way twice.

If you loved the first one, you will love this one, but if you expected something more like me, Deadpool 2 was far from offering it.

By the way there is indeed a scene in the credits and it was quite worth it. Guaranteed laughter.… Expand

Theres just so much CG even on Deadpool himself that you can never escape the uncanny valley feeling, but I've given up expecting Fury Road excellence of CG mixed with physical action. Not a movie you would ever watch again, but yeah could be a fun escape from this heat wave. 5/10 seems totally fair.… Expand

Muy divertida, pero no muestra nada nuevo. Continúa el estilo de parodia, pero se siente como una repetición de la primera que no aporta gran cosa.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, I know the Marvel created films are mainstream, since this, nobody will say the truth about the film. This is the most annoying side of the film critisms, and the mainstream films. The mainstream films over-praisement the best way for the successful critics or movie sites, obviously.

See, I'm not a "Marvel" fan, but my favorite character from the megalomaniac marvel universe, is Deadpool. I like him, firstly I saw him in the game three or four years ago. So I feel I can't miss the first film 2 years ago, and the second film now. That is kinda guilty pleasure in the first film, Deadpool laughed to the face all overrated marvel superheroes, and he knows how ridiclius the superhero cult in the reality. I liked it, finally, hes a character who can laughed himself, also the marvel can laughed themselves. Perhaps this is just a plan, from Marvel, in which they swallow the money from the superhero parody, before other would do it. In instance, the DC with Lobo.

In my opinion, that's why the first Deadpool film feel so newish and good. But had an enormous difference between the two films. In the first film had a good and new ideas and thoughts, but in the second film it is'nt.

According the story: Wade's girlfriend killed by a gangster whose somewhy kicked in Wade's door. Wade is turn to depression, and try to kill himself, but it is not so easy, because he is still immortal. Colossus pressure him to join the X-Mens, and finally, Wade did it. He being a rookie, but in the first mission he did some bad things and arrest him by police. Deadpool go to jail! To a mutant jail.

Honestly, it is not spoiler, because this is not the original story of the film, just a frame story. The original story is not bad, just a small destiantion which is stick the characters together.

I guess, start at the good things about the film.

Firstly, the film still in the X-Men universe, so I'm still glad. I prefer this universe, in my opinion it is works far better then the original marvel universe, even if had some Apocalyptically bad films on past. In my childhood I love the X-Men universe, especially in cartoons. I watched all X-Men cartoons from the 80', but I newer saw such an epic representation of the X-Men universe dark side. Maybe it was in the old cartoons, but the mutant jail in Deadpool 2 is the best way to show the mutants world darkest sides. In this aspect, the film almost PERFECT. Saddly it is just a frame, we were in for a short time period. Despite this, the Jail have an epic atmosphere, I LOVE it.

Over and above, in the film featured by Cain Marco alias Jaggernaut. I really appreciate it, but in the films end, a bit humilated him. Josh Brolin was epic good. That guy is far the best actor in this film, he had the best acting performance in Deadpool 2. In addition, Sir Brolin is really hefty, he was ripped out very nice. (Testanol maybe? :O)

Worked really good some gags and jokes, - not all but some - it is Deadpool merits of course. And had an epic line of sceens amid the two credits. Well that 2 minute is the film best 2 minute, undoubtedly. Epic joke-fest, from an epic idea. This missed from the movie, the IDEAS... The unlimited ideas like the first movie.

You know what is the one of the biggest problem about this movie? The Deadpool movies ought to be with million pop culture reference. But honestly, in the second film barely had some of it. I remember once from the film, Russel said: "Have you ever seen an overweight superhero?" (Comment: I watch this film Hungarian, my own language so some pop-cult references ruined by the Hungarian sync.) The most referencesjust a DC humilating. Yeah, first time it's sound imaginative... "Who are you?" "I'm Batman", but the twelfth time already so boring. Marvel forced the self jokes and critic, but it doesent worked, rather they joke the rival DC. Sometimes they are did the Brolin-Thanos joke, but after five time, I got disappointed about that.

It was true, to the most of the jokes. I went to an A.M. projection, but sometimes when Deadpool told a "joke", nobody laughed, because it isn't funny, rather than cringe or just replayed from the first film joke. Yeah, and jokes! A lot of jokes and ideas recycled from the first film. A really lot. And they replayed the errors from the first film. Immediately, the film starts with an action scene with DMX-X-Gonna, like the first film. After this, the opening also according the same idea. Same "Wade jumping to the taxi window to behind Dopinder" like the predecessor. Things, what is working in the first film, did not worked here. The new gags working, but they did it million times. Dubstep joke did it four times, the "Hey Wade"-"Hey Yukio" joke did it almost million times. At first it okay, at second it is okay, and third... okay, on fourth a little boring, at fifth it is hellish boring.… Expand

I think the main problem with this film is that there are many things that are said and little time to digest it, which ends with many missed opportunities. The film manages to entertain and cause laughter, but not at the level of its predecessor. Still, the action scenes are excellent, the emotional scenes move, there are a couple of gags that cause a lot of laughter, the cameos are impressive and Deadpool does not lose his touch yet. Deadpool 2 entertains, but, it had more potential if it had put so many elements at once.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some of the jokes fell flat compared to the first movie. It seemed like we were getting a more toned down version of Deadpool. In the first movie, he was an assassin (or Special Forces) and his introduction was interesting. Here, his story for the first 1/3 of the movie was drawn out and boring. Then he has X-Force and SPOILERS:

They all die except for Domino. So all those intros in the commercials was pretty much all of what you see them do in the movie. Also, the CGI on Colossus was just bad. In the first one, he felt like he was really there. In this one, he felt like he was CGI. The ending scene in the credits was OK although it didn't really explain how he could jump into himself but yet when he jumps into the scene where Wolverine was there, he's a second person..... And enough with the Green Lantern jokes.....

The jokes that did make the cut weren't that funny though. Some were good but most of them were expected and seemed toned down compared to the first one. Also they toned down the violence compared to the first one. That whole intro scene in the 1st movie was epic. Now we have a CGI fest that seemed too short and ultimately disappointing. I figured with all of the promos behind this movie before the release that this movie would not be like the first one. And it seems to be true. I think some of the jokes required you to be really invested in MCU and the comics, of which I admit that I am not. I just liked Avengers 1, Iron Man 1 & 3 (and some of 2), and Captain America 1 & 2 (more towards 2). Since CA2, I haven't been as impressed with MCU movies and I think I'm over them now. Even with Star Wars and Disney, after Last Jedi, I feel like my excitement for that too has dwindled. It's like we need to step away from franchises and maybe just make well written movies again without factoring in sequels and merchandising.… Expand

Deadpool 2

A sadistic approach on the comic tone has always been its window which they have increased to an annoying amount of time as it manages to undermine the current moment. Just as the first installment, there isn't much to look forward to on the plotline (which is predictable) but the journey it takes; even though it derails a lot, is intriguing and amusing at the same time. The major conundrum of the feature would be the lack of connection with the audience (even though the protagonist is literally filling in the audience with the details) as the stakes and emotions projected in here are shallow and doesn't go as anticipated. The songs are upbeat but the technical aspects could have been a lot better like the background score, vfx and editing. David Leitch has done a decent work on directing and pulling off the mayhem that this feature is, but unfortunately wasn't supported by the cinematography or the choreography which is essential in such features. The performance isn't upto the mark by Ryan Reynolds (but then Deadpool is quite complex to play) and neither is supported to that extent by Josh Brolin which comes off a bit disappointing. Deadpool 2 is an overstretched feature that numbs the emotions as it ages on screen let along draw it out and the soul reason would be due to the wafer thin script that never bothers to even justify the actions occurring or even make a definite point out of it. Having said that, if considered as just a parody of another installment of its predecessor, it works just fine.… Expand
