Deadpooling Again

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2018)

Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) returns from his global killing tour ready to start a family with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). Gunmen break-in and kill her. Deadpool is devastated and Colossus tries to comfort him. Negasonic Teenage Warhead has new girlfriend Yukio. As a new X-Men trainee, Deadpool tries to pacify rampaging Russel (Julian Dennison) but it goes badly. Deadpool and Russel are both sent to mutant prison. Time traveling soldier Cable (Josh Brolin) attacks the prison looking to kill Russel. Deadpool is blown out of the prison. He recruits other mutants like Domino (Zazie Beetz) to join his X-Force to battle Cable and rescue Russel.
Starting the movie by killing Vanessa puts a damper on the proceedings. I understand Deadpool's idea of providing motivation for this movie. It's just a downer in this otherwise hilarious fun. Of course, one does quickly realize that Cable has his time traveling powers to change any of these events. Colossus and Negasonic are as good as before. Cabbie Dopinder continues his hilarity. The addition of Cable, Domino, and Firefist are all terrific. I was worried about all the other X-Force characters but they are taken care of quickly in one of the funniest bits around. This is Deadpool. It's exactly that and it's building a good team around him.
