Absolutely enjoyable: funny, engaging, edgy, action packed

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2018)

After a successful debut, it is often tough for superhero movies to offer a sequel, which doesn't go totally above and beyond (and fail, due to that gigantism). I had my reservations for Deadpool 2 before I have seen it because of that.
The team-up, the possible bigger scale of the story.
Fortunately Deadpool still stays a widely funny and focused movie. The movie seems less raw... but this is also a good thing.The team-up "makes sense" and never gets out of the right focus. The investment of the viewer is no result out of an armageddon-like global situation, but out of the personal tragedy of Wade Wilson. The story writing is clever and the movie is just very well crafted. Off course the best thing are the jokes of Deadpool. This time, it seems that the writers were more subtle in breaking the 4th wall... however the occasions are now far more integrated ("as dark as the DC universe").
There is just not much, you could possibly desire more. It is a movie, which will be entertaining for multiple viewings - as the jokes which Deadpool cracks, are just too plenty to get at the first time times... and this is a good thing.
About the team-up - the assembly of (the original?) X-Force is hilariously funny - but thankfully kept short. Domino the "remaining" character of the "original" team is really cool from the time she is introduced in the movie.
Cable the antagonist is also "well crafted". I have to say, that the CGI and practical effects of his mechanical parts could have been done better. But it is never too disturbing or distracting, that it would be an issue.
With the big elephant released just beforehand (Infinity War) I really hope, that Deadpool 2 has a chance to shine. It is for sure a movie, which is at least as good as the "big" Marvel movie - if not better. I really enjoyed the tight scope of the movie. The imperfection of the characters and the humanity in them.
As nerd, only one thing has been missing for me: that Deadpool pulls ridiculous weapons (and other stuff) out of thin air.
There is not much more to say. If you are old enough (the movie is still R-rated) and like action movies, you should see Deadpool 2.
