Dead Good

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2018)

I really wish the golden arches of McDonald's weren't looming just across the road from the Cineworld in Brighton. Very tempting. Not healthy. Very tasty though.
Deadpool 2 is pretty tasty too.
It starts pretty much in the same vein and with a similar feel as its predecessor which in my humble, is both good and bad. Well, not really bad, but being R-rated, with swearing, people being turned into shish kebabs and breakings of the 4th wall and meta references, the first Deadpool movie was a very original breath of fresh air to the huge superhero genre.
Especially with all that DC crap trying to challenging and ultimately failing to rival Marvel Studios' success.
So sadly, we can't have that same breath of fresh air in the sequel but for me, the latter part of the movie really picks things up. There's one part in particular that takes a similar scene from the original but makes it way more hilarious. And from that point, we are properly off and running.
We are also treated to some nice surprises, bits of character development and story arcs therein and a surprise Marvel fan favourite villain that is foreshadowed for much of the movie.
A character, like Deadpool himself, who was done a grave injustice in a previous X-Men universe movie, but who gets an excellent redemption in this movie and I'm sure we will be getting to see more of them in the third outing which I am sure is very much on the table.
Deadpool 2 is still laugh out loud funny with a great story and superb addition to the franchise.
