It feels bigger...because it is.

After the solemnity of "Infinity Wars", the Deadpool sequel offers some much-needed levity.
Like all good sequels, "Deadpool 2" builds on the first film's success and raises the stakes, with Ryan Reynolds excelling again. You're almost convinced he's ACTUALLY Deadpool.
This time, DP's joined by Cable (Josh Brolin), Domino (Zazie Beetz) and Russell (Kiwi Julian Dennison, who fortunately gets to keep his native accent) as well as a couple of famous cameos (you'll have to see it to find out who...), with Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), Vanessa (Morena Baccarin Weasel (TJ MIller) and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) returning.
Directed by David Leitch (credited as The Guy Who Killed the Dog in John Wick), DP 2 amps up the fight scenes and visual effects, which elevates it above the first flim, with plenty of violence and blood.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Deadpool movie without numerous fourth-wall breaks, movie/comic/pop culture references (including a brilliant Michael Keaton-era Batman line) and swear words. There's so many references that you'll need to Google them to catch them all.
Be sure to stay during the credits, with one excellent post-credits scene that allows Reynolds to gleefully poke brutal fun at himself.
