An excellent sequel for a fun franchise

Rating: 7/10 (9 January 2020)

Doing a good sequel seems impossible nowadays for Hollywood, but Deadpool 2 is an exception. As always Ryan Reynolds portrayed this antihero wonderfully: he's humorous, irreverent but he can also be lovely. In this movie his character was deepen and we discover more of his personality, confirming once again what I had already expressed in the review of the first movie: there is no other character like Deadpool in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and for me these two movies with Guardians of the Galaxy are the only ones that are really worth to be watch, because they are different and really intriguing.
This time we are also introduced to new heroes, such as Domino or Bedlam, that are a nice addition, even if they don't have much time on screen. Very weak the performance of Julian Dennison as Firefist. He is in fact really annoying and he is used only as a pretext to go on with the story. Honestly, creators here could have done a better job. I was personally very disappointed by the final fights that could not catch me much, as seems just another, generic battle against the super villain. I need however to say that the story and the narration were not at all obvious and there a few plot twists that I was not expecting at all.
For cinema lovers Deadpool movies are a must, even for people that does not love this genre:they are different and refreshing, you don't need to watch any Marvel movie before it, because it is a standalone movie. Even if X-Men are mentioned, don't worry, you don't need to watch the whole X-Men saga. There are many references to the pop culture, such as other movies or music. If you are able to catch them, the movie is even funnier.
