Deadpool 2 (2018)

Deadpool 2 adds awesome new characters and tones down the extreme crudeness to make a sequel that is more enjoyable than the original.

I’m not much of a Deadpool fan. The humor was much too crude and nonsensical for me to enjoy the first outing, but the sequel toned it down to a PG-13 rating for the sequel, and as a result, I had a much better experience! One of the significant improvements over the first movie was the exciting additions of Cable and Domino to the cast. Josh Brolin was a fantastic choice for Cable, and the design and grittiness of the character were amazing to see on the screen. I also liked the way Deadpool 2 depicted Domino’s powers in a more tangible way than even the comics can show (and Zazie Beats was fantastic in the role too). Even Brad Pitt was fun in his brief role. I love the X-Men, and this movie ventured further into that world than its predecessor. The fun time travel scene of Reynolds correcting all of his career and Deadpool mistakes was comedic gold! Deadpool 2 was a much better outing to me, but that’s probably due to the very same reasons that so many traditional Deadpool fans didn’t like it.
