Better than the original

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2018)

After buying the first Deadpool on disc, I discoverd that the jokes got stale and the pacing felt uneven on repeat viewings. The sequel excels in almost every way. From Julian Dennison, whom we loved in Hunt for the Wilderpeople, to Josh Brolin's hilarious deadpans, to Zazie Beetz, who is charismatic and beautiful even when sitting on a tree stump, Deadpool 2 just works on every level. It is genuinely funny even on repeated viewings. The zero nudity rating was a bonus that allowed us to bring our teenagers to the movies. Look from some hilarious A-list cameos throughout.
It is the Godfather 2 of action comedies.
