The first movie was better.

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2018)

I will definitely start by saying that you might feel a change of tone from the first one, after all this movie is directed by David Leicht, one of the co-directors of the original John Wick film and as such he focuses on astounding action scenes more than comedy, that's not denying that there is plenty of comedy but if I'm being honest the jokes do not land as well as the first time around.
Some of the comedy is still pretty good and some of the jokes are very well crafted as a Deadpool film should be, but not all of them land as well, the humor feels a bit more forced in this sequel.
This doesn't make it a bad movie, tho. Deadpool 2 has great comic book elements and it makes some daring choices like giving Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) a same-sex partner, which does not feel like a gimmick but instead it feels very organic to the plot and I immensely commend them for it. Yet it is my opinion that Negasonic, Colossus, Domino and even Cable are not as well utilized as they should be. Ryan Reynolds is amazing as ever but they have decided to add amazing secondary characters without giving them much to do, the first movie was groundbreaking and I feel this one wasn't as good.
I feel that there's not enough effort into making it such a great film as the first one was, which is a pity because a Deadpool movie should be more than just a novelty, it should be a cinematic event.
It's not a bad movie, I still will rate this an 8 out of 10 because some choices they made including some cameos and the after credit scenes that make this film worth it. I simply expect better the next time around.
