Review of Deadpool 2 (2018) by Giorgos K — 02 Aug 2018
The sequel to the experimental "Deadpool" film of 2016 proves that its predecessor wasn't a one-time hit & that there is a future to be examined in the field of R-Rated Superhero films. "Deadpool 2" is a funny, witty & a fourth-wall demolisher of a film that builds upon themes developed in the previous one. Ryan Reynolds once again proves that he's basically born to play the titular mercenary & Josh Brolin puts one more successful villain role under his acting belt.
That is not to say that the film is perfect though. The surrounding story wasn't as well-structured or interesting as the first film's story. At times it felt all over the place & the dream sequences that appeared mid-film weren't any help. Sure, they could work inside the world of the comic book pages but the translation to film ended up being off-putting & distracting.
"Deadpool 2" is definitely nowhere near as good as the original but it's still a fun & entertaining comedy film with some very good aspects which manages to maintain the essence of Deadpool.
