Better than the first one!

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2018)

I can only assume that the folks giving 1 or 2 stars have no knowledge of Deadpool outside of the first movie, or maybe X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This sequel was exactly what it was supposed to be: fun, goofy, irreverent, full of 4th wall breaks (or as one hoity-toity reviewer called it, "meta"), maturation of the lead character who struggles against being a hero, surprise character appearances, pain, loss, high body count, etc... True, it doesn't take an advanced degree to comprehend or follow the plot, but good God! It's a comic book movie! It's not Shakespeare or Umberto Eco. If you want that, read a book. If you want a fun movie that entertains and is probably the most accurate interpretation of any Marvel character, then watch DP2. Suspend reality, pull the stick out of your ass, and just have some fun.
