The perfect sequel for Deadpool

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2018)

Two years ago, I was introduced to Deadpool, the most amazingly unconventional anti-hero of all time, where his ability to break the fourth-wall and deliver the crudest of jokes was finally displayed on the silver screen in an X-Men spin-off film made partly to make up for that crummy Wolverine film from 2009. And now the sequel has arisen.
The story for this one is perfect for a sequel. It actually manages finds a way to develop the character of the wisecracking merc-with-a-mouth and a bit further from the last film. This story is also a lot more emotional than the previous one in the perfect way. Plus, one thing that makes the plot for this one a tad more superior to the first film is how the events are presented in a much more linear and sequential order, whereas the first film jumped around different points in time, which is one of the few little things that bothered me before.
The humor is about as funny as the first film's. But the most monumental laughs result from these scenes during the credits. I can't tell you why, but these scenes made me laugh 10x as hard as the time when I first saw Drax try to master the art of invisibility by standing incredibly still.
The cast is terrific. Ryan Reynolds proved in the first film that he was born for this role, and he still proves it today. He continues to perfectly portray the funniest and most bloodthirsty Marvel anti-hero ever. Josh Brolin does a good job playing the battle-hardened Cable while playing Thanos around the same time during production for this movie. The rest of the cast still carry the charm they delivered from before like T.J. Miller as Weasel, Karan Soni as Dopinder the cab driver, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, and Brianna Hildebrand as the "moody (mutant) teen" with "the coolest name ever." I also really enjoyed Domino, played by Zazie Beetz, and how she and Deadpool are constantly bickering about her abilities. And Julian Dennison is also great as tough mutant urchin Russel/Firefist.
There's not a whole lot to say about the action scenes. All I can say is that the film has action scenes that are awesome to watch, and they each find a few good jokes to mix in. In fact, the final battle has music that works great for the sake of humor. Listen very hard for any dramatic-chorus theme. Plus, speaking of music, I loved the Celine Dion song.
This film is definitely the best sequel possible for Deadpool. It does everything a sequel should do, with some unique traits of its own. So in conclusion...WAKANDA FOREV...I mean...X-FORCE!!!
