Review of Deadpool 2 (2018) by Sean N — 22 May 2018
Let's get this part out of the way - Deadpool 2 is better than the original. DP2 has everything you want in a sequal - bigger story, higher stakes, more explosions. It also has world building, character development, and (shudder) emotional depth.
The film is replete with pop culture references, in jokes, and satire. YoU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT GOING IN. tHE HUMOR IS CRUDER AND MORE SUBVERSIVE THAN THE PREVIOUS FILM. pARTS OF IT AR E SUPRISINGLY TOUCHING.
tHE ANTAGONISTS ARE SYMPATHETIC. tHE ACTION IS AWESOME. jOSH bROLIN TURNS IN A PERFORMANCE AS CABLE THAT WILL MAKE YOU FORGET ALL ABOUT JONAH hEX. zAZIE bEETZ'S Domino is fun, and highly cinematic.
eNJOY THE FILM, BUT LEAVE THE KIDS AT HOME.
