Deadpool 2 (2018)
8/10
Every bit as enjoyable as the first movie...
7 August 2018
Granted, I am not one that is particularly keen on superhero movies, and usually tend to only sit down to watch them with someone else who is interested in watching such movies. However, I did like the first "Deadpool" movie, so of course I also wanted to watch the sequel.

I must admit that "Deadpool 2" was every bit as funny, action-packed, colorful and witty as its predecessor was. So if you enjoyed the first movie, then you will definitely also like the sequel.

There was a bit more focus on humor and jokes aimed below the belt this time, so that might work against the movie if you don't even that kind of humor. I found the humor to be funny though, so it worked out well enough for me.

The storyline was good, and I really liked the Cable character. And Josh Brolin was really well-cast for that role. Just puzzled me somewhat why they opted to go with him for both Cable in this movie and Thanos in the "Avengers: Infinity War" movie. Sure, you can't see it is him in that movie, but still...

The characters in "Deadpool 2" were every bit as colorful, interesting and funny as the characters were in the first movie. Aside from Deadpool and Cable being favorite characters, then I also think that Domino was a rather interesting character, and they had opted for a great choice by casting Zazie Beetz for that role.

The special effects were fantastic in "Deadpool 2", but then again they have always been so in all the Marvel movies, so I guess that is a standard of expectations for these movies.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Deadpool 2" for what it was; which was an equally entertaining movie as the first "Deadpool" movie, so just lean back and enjoy the ride, have the laughs and learn new jokes as the movie progress.
