Other movies have tried this. It rarely works. Airplane! 1 is just about the only other success example. If you view DP 2 as written not for the general public but written for Marvel's stable of writers, fans very knowledgeable about comics and movies; and, people who attend ComiCon, then the movies takes on a much more positive cast. It's a movie of inside jokes, ALL inside baseball, deliberately so but still done entertainingly. Leitch did this again with Hobbs & Shaw (2019).

Comparing DP 1 &2 to the Donner X-Men series is foolish as a reviewer. The X-Men movies are trying to be emotionally affecting, engaging stories in a superhero genre. DP 1 and especially 2 is a parody of tropes like Airplane! 1.

This goes double or maybe triple for the fight choreography This is not John Wick 1,2, 3. This is fight coordinators making fun of fight stunts for fight stunt fans. If you have seen David's Snowball Fight made for the Apple 10 iPhone, on YouTube you will see the same sort of gleeful recycling of tropes. David knows he is recycling tropes.

To make recycling tropes come off this well is really hard to do.

Evidence: all the Scream movies, failed Pink Panther movies, the weak parts of Mr. Bean movies, etc.

I think you are on to something with Fletch. Fletch was throwing-forward to Ryan Reynolds' screen persona. Ryan Reynolds is Fletch on cocaine. Both are caricatures of sick young, know-nothing, adults with no learning, wisdom, understanding nor sustainable culture, atheistic consumers.

Fletch and Reynolds screen persona express a generation who grew up truly "amusing themselves to death" in Neil Postman's useful phrase. The emptiness, the vapidness, the lack of emotional honesty and self-connection is the pain their weal humor attempts to compensate for. Reynolds and Leitch do this artfully.… Expand

“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“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 **** 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.… Expand

Is black humor a racist disposition, Mr. Deadpool?

It's increasingly obvious the writing of the screenplay was more complicated than you thought, as shaping the hilarious dialogues for the anti-hero demands inventiveness from more than one brain. Reese, Wernick, and Reynolds stick thousands, thousands, thousands of references, not just as the usual easter-eggs game. Pop-culture is key, the endless mentions on screen through one-liners are sickeningly amusing thanks to our strange time. No-one and nothing can get away from the vicious signs: literature (Pericles), music (dubstep), singers (Cher and Justin Bieber), actors (Jackman and, oh!, Reynolds), of course film ("Star Wars," DC, Marvel, 007's "Spectre," "John Wick" and a long etcetera), and even the movie conception itself, laughing at the writing process, the production companies, its screenwriters and director through an unforgettable meta-cinematographic language. Such was the impact that I began to hyperventilate, picking references that maybe were never deliberately introduced by the screenwriters ("Spy" by Paul Feig or "Inception" by Nolan). Hands down, the film with more explicitly-implanted-in-the-script pop-culture references I have ever seen. It'd be demoralizing to say that, after the titanic and classical work put into "Infinity War" with regard to the creation, treatment, and exposition of its villains, Marvel has taken a step back, sorry, somehow it did. Obviously, most viewers buy a ticket to see their favorite hero do and undo, but it's important to know if whoever gets such punches— curse words in this case —has managed to involve with the audience and the story, here, none of that happened of course. Villain's role changes so many times that, in the end, the course of events seems disoriented; firstly, Cable would become a pain in the neck for the antihero according to the script, however, thanks to a shrewd plot twist, Mr. Nathan gives up his seat to two more characters, a yo-yo move that doesn't favor and ends up giving the perception there is no real villain, perhaps, the only baddie is Deadpool. This installment had the chance to remedy the lack of spectacle in the mise-en-scène and the exposition of the largest and most expensive set-pieces, however, even with a highly qualified stunt coordinator, you never get something really epic matching tremendous levels of violence with some kind of visual beauty. Stuntman-turned-filmmaker David Leitch is known for what "John Wick" is recognized as a cult-film today: its fierce, brutal, meticulously choreographed combats. Although it's evident an upsurge in less-artificial fighting scenes and comically bloody sequences, none of these serves to mask a lackluster visual buffet, in the last, lacking styled compositions that leave you astounded, doing no justice to the exquisite visuals and action in "JW" and "Atomic Blonde," the two previous works of the filmmaker. Jonathan Sela's cinematography handles intelligent and frankly striking angles, but he never ventures to pass the limits over and decides to settle with a couple of laudable sequences that always shine under the shadow of the well-made fights in the first flick, I find it somewhat strange, especially taking into account who its director is, not even the final sequence which draws its strengths on the always-funny performances and the unbeatable screenplay. There are similarities in a specific sequence, one that many remember from Miller's pic for the misuse of special effects, yes, the one in which Wade Wilson is kicking asses along a freeway as an opening scene, here, it's Domino who must withstand an embarrassing set-piece, it's unheard of the poorly-achieved digital effects it must endure, it seems as if the crew had forgotten to finish it and had decided to release it that way, the scenes aren't realistic at all, it looks like a 2000's video game. Tyler Bates doesn't do a sincerely rewarding feat as his "soundtrack" for the film vomits hyperactive and energetic melodies over the frames, that don't contribute anything to the visual part to excel. The only original song which can really monopolize the spotlights soon is 'Ashes ' interpreted by the queen Celine Dion, one which is used, covertly, more than once. "Deadpool 2" by David Leitch unimpeachably dynamizes only some of the features which made the first movie so freestanding, unusually special and extravagant while neglecting aspects of cardinal importance as a good approach to the characters, a stunning visual section and a deep, conscious development and treatment to a powerful villain. But don't worry, you'll get more vicious action, trenchant jokes and one-liners, visual gags, a new volatile group of heroes, many, many references of all kinds and an experience that does not disappoint, but what's a Wade Wilson/Ryan Reynolds who gets his long-awaited sequel where the only thing that matters is the surface? By the way, did I leave the stove on?… Expand

So I was excited to see where this movie would take the character. And while it still is gleefully funny and raunchy, it is not quite as good as the first movie. And I think it's because the script this time around was weaker than the first. While it is true that the script never really subverted a lot of the superhero genre as it does blatantly copy all the cliches without much of the clever subversion the movie claimed, I felt that the movie was charming enough to really look pass the glaring issues with the first movie's script. This time around the story was just so much weaker than before, being written around a kid who is just not very good in this movie sadly, although that's because of the poor material he works with, as the character Russell is just not very likable or funny, outside of getting his ass kicked a few times which was funny (child abuse is bad regardless, but still it was funny). And it is in general weird that Deadpool would actually care about this character. It never felt like something he would do, although I am going to give the benefit of the doubt and say that it is true for him in the comics. The action, while not terrible, just felt kind of lazy and uninspired. Which is a shame considering director David Leitch's work on the first John Wick film. The only time I can ever say I felt any thrill was the fight on the prison transport. But other than that it's just by the numbers.

A big surprise was that the jokes and gags that callback to the first film wasn't the biggest problem with the film. Sure they do feel stale and a little lazy (although some callbacks are still funny), but for the most part I was still laughing and having a great time. Sure the constant sex jokes and pop culture references do get old, but the movie still does have a ton of wit to make the movie thoroughly funny regardless of duds that are in the film, largely thanks to Ryan Reynolds being perfect for Deadpool. Cable and Domino do make great editions to the film, as are the return of Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (who doesn't get a lot of good lines in this movie like she did in the first film). The visuals and production are also a step up from the first film too, and also the intro is one of the funnest I've seen in a long time, although probably not as funny as the first film. Plus an absolutely brilliant post-credit scene.

It might not live up to the first Deadpool film, but it still is a fun ride regardless. Although I am rather worried that the third film will suck considering the trajectory of trilogies, plus the much weaker writing overall.… Expand

I'm not saying you should laugh at 100% of its humor, but at least 60% or higher of its humor. Of course if that isn't your cup of tea, there's always tons of action to come along with the humor (because it's Marvel). Undeniable flaws from the first movie returns, but can thankfully be ignored by its action and humor which shines just in time before the first flaw can even get reached.… Expand

Better than the first one. More budget, less jokes (but remember that it is a Deadpool movie so it has lots of comedy), better fights, good Cable, more cameos
For a humorous superheroes movie it's enjoiable.

Finally #20: some plot changes did not caught up with me, but since it's comedy, I may allow it to pass.
Overall: yes, second viewing WILL make it easier to understand but that's not fair.
Sequel added to the lore a lot, though, but ending did not hint on possible 3rd part.

Now we have a sequel about the Merc With aThe first Deadpool is a movie that will always stay in my heart,not because of the movie's quality,but because it's the movie that inspired me to start my career as a movie critic. (Crazy,right?)
Now we have a sequel about the Merc With a Mouth that falls into the usual 'Sequel Curse’,where instead of expanding the characters,they expand the ante on so many levels,some of them really unnecessary.
This was another half-disappointment for me (not like LEGO Ninjago where at the end,it made me feel empty).
Sure,the characters’ writing is here and there (that’s where Cable needs its own paragraph),but they play everything (triple emphasize ”EVERYTHING”) for a laugh. From Josh Brolin to RoboCop to Winnie The Pooh all of a sudden,which was very funny at times,certainly. Take that and cram in some excellent action sequences into a rather complex story that sometimes feels like a superhero movie and sometimes like a Friday Night Movie.
This is the kind of movie that feels like if the studio gave David Leitch (the director of this movie) a Checklist,where, as said, everything would be played for a laugh and sometimes there would be some setups to something.
Anywho,Cable, alongside Deadpool,is probably the one character who carries this entire movie. The Director and screenwriters’ passion was indeed there to make them feel like “He can be more than just a Rip-Off Terminator,I mean….He can travel through time!”. The movie would sometimes try and be as emotional as Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2,and sometimes it works,but sometimes it feels unearned.
Although you better stick around the end for that End-Credits sequence. Trust me,it'll be worth the pennies.
In the end,Deadpool 2 is just plain funny,and that's all you need to know going into it.
Is it better than the first one? Nowhere near,but nonetheless,it's “The First Great Movie Of The Summer”,which should tell you something. (I wish I would've said it with Infinity War if they didn't release it on April)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As expected it is completely entertaining movie, with great jokes, good performances Ryan Reynolds owns this character like it's his own soul, and some of the action scenes are simply superb.

But this movie loses the appeal the first had, the first was very straight forward, while this one starts wanting to be one thing and shifts. The first act was really slow, and the jokes weren't landins at first, but after Vanessa's death the movie just picked up and started getting better and better.

Some of the dialog is really farfecthe'd, trying to hard to be funny, and sometimes when you expect that seriousness, that the movie has at times, you get some really dry jokes that ruin what could have been a great moment/scene

So this is definetely worth the watch, but i guess being a sequel from a sucessful movie, it really stretched itself thin. and not forget to mention basically the best post credit scene in history of cinema.… Expand

Des scènes d'actions plus nombreuses que le premier et bien plus intéressantes. C'est ici que s'arrête l'amélioration par rapport au premier Deadpool. Au niveau de l'humour, certaines blagues marchent très très bien dans ce deuxième volet. Seulement on a l'impression qu'elles sont présentes, car un cahier des charges a demandé d'en mettre tellement, que ça surcharge le film de bêtises inutiles et ça ne permet pas de rentrer dans le film. Le flux constant de blague te fait sortir plus d'une fois.
La plus grande réussite du film est la gestion du marketing excellent d'où la petite déception, car je m'attendais à un humour mieux maitrisé.
Pour les musiques après 3 jours je ne me souviens que de "Ashes" remix Deapool vu avant la sortit du film.
Les effets spéciaux sont bons. Les découpages opérés par le personnage ne sont ni bien définis ni pas assez et c'est une bonne chose.
Pas de 3D.
Je n'ai pas remarqué le Dolby Atmos si c'était présent, malgré la compatibilité de la salle...
Pour conclure, c'est un bon petit film moins de 12ans (et ça se comprend) à revoir pour les secrets cachés… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stuntman turned director David Leitch's 'Deadpool 2' starts with a bang... literally. Among the very first scenes our hero lies on top of a bunch of fuel canisters and blows himself up in glorious slow-motion. The result of this is the loss of his lover, Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and with that said, this film is more absurd but at the same time more emotional that the first one... well, sort of, this is Deadpool after all, a vulgar anti-hero who cannot die.

If the first 'Deadpool' was about introducing the 4th wall breaking elements and intelligent and burning references to popular culture, this film takes it to a whole new level. Seriously, rather than listing the moments which contain these smart and witty comments, it is actually easier to list the moments which do not. This is, of course, incredibly funny, and the lines are delivered with perfect timing and tone by a Ryan Reynolds which I think it's safe to say lost his mind after playing this character (in a good way, of course). Unfortunately, this is a double-edged sword. You see, this film takes a pretty serious plot about a troubled and abused mutant child, a ruined family and a tragic death; themes which are often parodied in an offensive but incredibly funny manner. The problem is not here though.

The problem starts with the way this film treats itself. Starting even from its marketing campaign, it does not want to be taken seriously, nor it wants appreciation. Is almost as if it has no trust upon itself. But again, no problem here, as its self-deprecating humor is so good that it really does not matter. The tingle comes when it attempts to actually take something seriously - like the relationship between Deadpool and Vanessa, and Wilson's regret of not being able to save her. After ridiculing every single serious element and throwing continuous roast comedy rounds at everything, you do not want anything else. Is like living in a dark room for weeks. When you get out, the light is unbearable and you could not care less about it.

But, 'Deadpool 2' hits where it matters, delivering perfect dark humor, masterfully breaking the 4th wall; its biggest achievement though is the way it uses comedy to advance its serious plot, even though some hiccups are occasionally noticeable. But, as Deadpool said: 'lazy writers'.… Expand

MovieReviewer45May 20, 2018

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Movie is an improvement over the original. The movie has an emotional resonance that was not seen in its predecessor. Character introduction for the new characters was not executed properly as their character development is quite poor especially for the new kid villain (now a new member of the team). I didn't like the personality or characterization for that kid.

What I like in this movie is the overall humor. It manages to attract me with its well-executed humorous gags made by Deadpool himself. The humor seems a little corny at some points but rather it still successfully delivered. The relationship between Deadpool and his fiancee in the first movie is quite cliche and not so romantic to be expected. In this sequel, I have witnessed an improvement in their relationship as a couple which adds some dramatic and quite sad scenes on some part of the movie.

And lastly, the CGI is great and is not an implication of the movie being a small budgeted film. The movie delivers overall. Congrats to the whole team that made the movie and the whole cast as well.

Score: 7/10 or 3.5/5 stars… Expand

Deadpool 2 most definitely stands outIt's no secret that the film industry today is bursting at the seams with superhero movies. It's a crowded genre, and it's becoming very difficult to find one that stands out and breaks free of clichés. Deadpool 2 most definitely stands out and provided many pleasant surprises, but there are just some tropes that it can't overcome.

But that's not to say that it's without originality. The story takes many unanticipated turns that completely defy expectations. It takes quite some time to reveal the true nature of the plot, and that's something that's difficult to achieve and is commendable here. However, once everything is understood at the end of act two, the third act plays out pretty much exactly how one would expect it to. There's nothing compelling about it. The conclusion is very generic, which is disappointing when it's considered that there's a decent amount of unconventional material present in the rest of the film.

Deadpool as a character gets an entirely different side shown to him in this sequel, and that's one of the fresh things about the movie. The merc with a mouth exposes his darker side and actually becomes a much deeper character as a result. Unfortunately, the rest of the characters are comparatively poorly written and hardly develop at all.

Serious stuff aside, though, the gleeful violence and unhinged humor definitely serve their purpose here. Not all of the jokes hit as hard as they should, but the fourth-wall-breaking script pokes plenty of fun at its own flaws and it makes for a fun ride!

Deadpool 2 isn't a film that's particularly memorable; the overall package is one that ends on a note that leaves it blending in with other movies in the genre. But it's an incredibly entertaining, action-packed, and hilarious thrill that is definitely worth seeing, preferably with some friends.

Compared to Deadpool, Deadpool 2 seems more comfortable handling the elements that made the original a success. The humor is bolder and more self-aware because the audience is already familiar with the characters. Ryan Reynolds masters the tricky balance between heavy emotion and outrageous wisecracks because the audience is trained to expect a joke for every heartfelt scene, and the movie gladly obliges. Every trick in the book is used to evoke emotional responses, but the winks to the audience make such manipulation acceptable, even welcome. For those worried that Deadpool 2 is more of the same, they needn't fret. The movie introduces a handful of new characters, each well-acted and funny in their own way. There are also some celebrity cameos sprinkled in. Sure, some of them are there solely to make a joke or two, but a couple of the new characters clearly places in future movies. Compared to some superhero movies, Deadpool 2 has a streamlined narrative and pulls off a highly successful third act. The climax of the movie not only avoids the Marvel "villain problem," but it's also packed with great action, hilarious jokes, and solid character moments. This success overshadows some plot inconsistencies in the first and second act, which are minor but might bother some hypercritical audience members. Despite Deadpool 2's undeniable strengths, two features hold it back slightly. First, the subject of death is handled with such inconsistency that it seems jarring. One character's death is an unspeakable tragedy, while another's is just a comic bit. The movie missed an opportunity to make fun of the careless treatment of civilian deaths in comic-book movies, but instead fell into the trope. Deadpool 2 also tried to make a progressive commentary on diversity in superhero films, but its minority characters did not have particularly strong roles. Thus, this commentary seemed a bit undeserved and out-of-place. For fans of the original Deadpool, the sequel will not disappoint. The movie capitalizes on what it did well in the first movie and the result is a riotously entertaining, surprisingly emotional, and satisfying second installment.… Expand

There are constant wisecracks and references to popular culture and two thirds of these jokes miss the mark. Some of them are funny and a few made me laugh out loud, so the scatter-gun approach to wisecracks worked for me. Some average CGI for a superhero flick but I am forgiving considering that this movie is made for older audiences and had a lower budget. The low budget is also noticeable when compared to an Avengers or X-Men movie. It is much smaller in scope. Some of the humor is crude and is more appropriate for young teens but the movie is R rated due to language and violence meaning they are not actually allowed to see it. I would be happy for my 11 year old to watch this but not all parents would. It all depends on your opinion regarding naughty words. For adults, this is a little immature but a generally a fun action flick.… Expand

It's a film to switch off and enjoy but nothing more. I'm not a particular fan of superhero films as such overall - I've liked a few but I'm by no means an expert in the area, although I did think it was a bit amusing how the central character references characters from other comic book-based film franchises (this is a Marvel Studios film and he references DC, as in DC comics etc.). Suffice to say, I wouldn't recommend letting younger teens watch this, as it is pretty heavy on bloody violence but then if you know anything about the character then that's hardly a surprise and indeed it's been given the 15 rating in the UK (you have to be 15 to see it). The cast is pretty good and its an entertaining watch, so I'd recommend it on that basis, yes.… 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

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

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

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

There are a lot of people that find Deadpool to be one of their favorite heroes- at least comically, like - in a funny way. Deadpool 2 reminds me of Spaceballs. I don't ever feel like I have to take the film seriously though serious matters arise in the film which are undercut by a lot of cussing and random commentary. It's tough to not like any of the characters in the film. Plus, a lot of Deadpool 2 is like watching Dan Forden appearing from the side of the screen to say "Toasty!" after a fierce upper cut in Mortal Kombat - though as an actual system propelling all aspects of a full-length feature film.

Firefist is right. I've never seen a plus-size super hero. Weasel is really funny. Domino, ha! Shout out to X-factor, and their serious replacements? Deadpool 2 is a funny film that slaps away serious topics by embracing and making light of them. After watching Deadpool 2, I feel like I'm done watching a draft of the potential angles for a film more than feeling like I've come away from a complete project (which - I guess, is the point of Deadpool 2?). Honestly, my mental reaction after watching Deadpool 2 is like Mary Elizabeth Winstead's reaction at the end of the Swiss Army Man.

Overall: 6.312/10

P.S. Yeah, I know. Everyone's a critic. Conversation is good. I'm not holding anything against Ryan Reynolds either. It's just - walking to my car, all that comes to mind is Mr. D from School of Life when I think of Ryan Reynolds - and then Blake Lively. The Age of Adaline. Okay, we're done here. Enough of the gush.

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

Loved the first one, but this one just wasnt funny. Sure, a few laughs here and there, but nothing like the first one. The first one was just genius.
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.… Expand

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 !… Expand

Totally overhyped. Nothing special. Couple of funny scenes (parachuting or legs scenes) but that's about it. Too many drama moments for this kind of comedy. The plot was bad.
