Deadpool fans rejoice! They did it again.

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2018)

I had a really good time with Deadpool 2. It continues with the humour, action and awareness of the original, while also taking all three to the extreme. Action scenes are bigger, more varied and incredibly entertaining. Whilst turning it up to 11 works well for the action, I feel like the meta references and crude humour was stretched to its absolute limit and took me out of the movie occasionally.
One thing Deadpool had going for it was the heart, the love story/Wade's mortality elements of the narrative always felt earned. Sadly I do not feel the same way about Deadpool 2. This movie (like many other franchises) throws around the word "family" quite a lot. Whilst the old and new characters are all very entertaining and work well together, I didn't feel like a family was established.
Overall I would recommend Deadpool 2 to anyone who enjoyed the original. I know I have my reservations overall, but I agree with my friends initial comment of "I don't think I have giggled so much in the cinema since South Park".
