We Are X-Force!

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2019)

Deadpool aka Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), returns, along with his witty, random and (not to mention) crude sense of humour. This time, Deadpool will protect a young mutant boy from an unknown traveler going by the name of "Cable" (played by Josh Brolin).
If you're a fan of the 1st installment, then you will have a complete understanding of what to expect in this film. Thankfully, the sequel changes it up a fair bit and keeps the series fresh and entertaining. The film's plot, jokes and new characters, including the introduction of X-Force, are elements that add to the success and excitement of Deadpool 2. The film also manages to bring back countless familiar faces from the previous film.
While Deadpool 2 is loaded with jokes, I'm surprise to announce the sequel manages to deliver more heart than the previous film. There are key moments where I thought to myself 'the actor Ryan Reynolds is actually delivering a pretty solid performance'. It can also feel like this performance is more from the heart as he's not hiding behind the mask. As far as jokes go, yes, some jokes do fall flat or go for too long, but considering how much humour is actually carried in the film, it can be overall forgivable as the majority of jokes and one liners are creative and do work very well.
The action sequences in Deadpool 2 are awesome, insane and not to mention, the film has another outstanding film soundtrack. Heck, I'll even be as bold as to say I enjoyed Celine Dion's Deadpool theme song (yeah, I said it... I liked Celine Dion's song!). I also personally enjoyed the many nods and jokes that were related to other films, such as other super hero movies (Batman, X-Men are just a few to name).
Overall, Deadpool 2 is a fresh and worthy sequel. Is fun, brainless, creative and surprisingly unpredictable as a film. Sure, the plot is rather basic, but people, it's a Deadpool film- what did you expect? For anyone who is a fan of Marvel films or Deadpool as a character, this is seriously a no brainer. Enjoy the fun and stay for the credits (staying for the credits for this film is a huge must!)
