Deadpool 2

I had to check and saw that we JUST had a Deadpool movie two years ago. With that being said, I don't think it had an adverse effect on the quality of this movie. I loved this movie. I think the first one was better because it had to work with a smaller budget and felt fresher.

This movie also delivered on the process of the ending credits sequence in the first movie by having Cable appear.

What is evident with the addition of Cable and the opening scene is that this movie had a lot more of a budget to play around with. It is definitely more special effects driven. We get an awesome James Bond like opening credits scene. What makes this more awesome (and I didn't realize this when we watched it) is that it was sung by Celine Deon. That's a pretty big pull, Ryan Reynolds. More props to him.

My lady pointed out something that opened my eyes. In this movie, Deadpool seems less like a mean spirited a-hole and more of a sympathetic character. To say why would be a spoiler. This thread drives him throughout the movie and I will say there are some surprisingly heartfelt moments.

I liked the new characters that we get in this movie. Specifically Domino. Cable was good too, but in a way he almost feels misplaced here. They did their best, but having serious backstory with major repercussions for the future feels at odds with this action comedy.

I will get into more things I liked, but I will say about the only thing I really didn't like is we don't get a truly mustache twirling, evil bad guy. Well, let me rephrase. We don't get an evil bad guy that warrants a huge boss fight. Okay, the other thing I didn't like is the amount of time we get with Colossus and one bad guy, which would be a spoiler. This is because the CG on them are not very good and their inclusion generally takes me out of the film.

The small budget in the first movie really made it more gritty, I think.

Getting back to what I liked, we get X-Force in some fashion and it is pretty great how they are used. This is another thing that would be a huge spoiler, so I won't say any more than that. We get more jokes about the past Fox movies and some of the DC movies. The action scenes were really good and did I mention I liked the jokes? The soundtrack plays an important part in this movie and I liked the choices that they made.

I'm writing this a few weeks after watching it, so I can't remember much else to say here. This movie was pretty good and you should go see it if you haven't already.
