Review of Deadpool 2 (2018) by Ashton L — 22 May 2018
What can you say? It's Deadpool through and through. Though I am a big comic book fan, Deadpool was never a character which I grew attached too. He was always just the "edgy" comic relief that I appreciated for it's existence and thought it was good that he captured a beloved fanbase which can latch onto his lude and dark humor, I just never found myself as one of them.
However, I did THOROUGHLY enjoy the first movie for it's comedy which I chuckled at for the most part, and for it's faithfulness to the character. I think I can say, as a huge comic book fan, this one is even better.
The jokes didn't always land as much as I wanted too, but I put that more on my personal humor tastes changing rather than the movie itself failing in that regard. What makes this one better, is the embrace of it's material and the inclusion of a nice roster of comic book characters even if some had very little screen time.
One large mutant in particular filled me with so much joy at his appearance. Cable was a relatable CHARACTER and helped balance out Deadpool's witty banter pretty well. The story about Deadpool saving the kid is okay, but I never felt myself too sympathetic to the child.
Either way, Deadpool is a great movie not only for Deadpool fans, but for comic fans in general especially if you have an affinity for the X-Men.
