DP2 Brings It Again

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2018)

It has been said that "Deadpool 2" is even better than the original film, and I agree. "2" has the best elements of the first film, but taken to a greater degree. You still get the running, machine-gun comedy riffs, like Jim Carrey on speed. You still get the fourth-wall breaking asides. And the same irreverence, the same self-referential comments, the same darkness, the same gore, the plethora of cinematic references. And more of it.
Some reviewers didn't find enough comedy in the film. Almost every line was a punch line, so were they not catching certain references? Possibly. Some complained that the film's POV was too far to the left. Yes, there were anti-rightwing insults, but there were also numerous lampoons of P.C. platitudes.
The best things about the Deadpool films are the level of originality and creativity, the willingness to take risks. Fortunately, the second installment does not back away from that formula.
