Deadpool returns and exceeds all expectations

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2018)

Deadpool was always going to be hard to top however the sequel excels all expectations. Everything is turned up full volume from the crude humour, the blood and gore, the action, and further character development. This had to be the first time that I have laughed so hard in the cinema.
Deadpool/Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) returns and we pick up where we left off from the first movie where he dispatches bad guys and lets fly with crude and witty one liners. Wade is also living the seemingly perfect life with his love interest Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) along with his fellow friends the hapless taxi driver Dopinder (Karan Soni), bartender Weasel (T.J. Miller) and Wade's neighbour Blind Al (Leslie Uggams). Deadpool finds himself teaming with an unlikely group of superheroes including Domino (Zazie Beetz) to go up against the brutal and ruthless mutant Cable (Josh Brolin who is a standout and this is one of his most memorable roles) who has travelled back in time to kill the unstable young mutant Russell Collins (Julian Dennison). Deadpool also reunites with fellow rogue allies including Colossus (Stefan Kapicic) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand).
If you liked the first movie, I don't need to say that you'll have a blast with the sequel. Ryan Reynolds is a perfect fit as Deadpool/Wade Wilson. Josh Brolin as Cable was amazing, and his dedication to the time spent in the gym was well worth it. The rest of the supporting cast were awesome as well. Keep an eye out for a number of blink and you'll miss it cameos as well as some small roles that pop up.
Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and Ryan Reynolds have done an amazing job as writers for the sequel and everything has perfectly fallen into place. Everything just works and the everyone in the cinema thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
David Leitch (John Wick) takes the director's chair from Tim Miller and he has done a fine job here.
One does not simply leave a Marvel movie during the end credits, so do yourself a favour and stay right until the end credits. I'm not going to share any spoilers, but I strongly suggest you don't leave the cinema early.
I was looking forward to seeing the sequel and today upon watching the sequel I walked out of the cinema very happy with a huge smile on my face. You'll have an awesome time. I guarantee it.
