Maximum Effort!

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2018)

This was a great follow-up packed with all the over-the-top violence, language, political, and show biz commentary you can shake a stick at. Most movies get dicey when you pull the time travel card and this movie is no exception. Many of the events in the film are seemingly erased in some post credit stingers, notably NOT the fate of Shatterstar. At long last we finally get Cable and Domino added to the MCU so that enters a whole new host of shinanegans. I thought Reynolds delivered another epic performance as the foul-mouthed assassin. While Brolin is a fine addition as the Techno-Virus infected mutant. There were some moments where they milked the scenes a little too much, the faux death scene comes to mind. Deadpool brings dark and side-splitting humor to the MCU and while a movie like this is usually a love it or hate it affair for viewers I felt I got what I expected going in and was happy with casting choices as they inject some mutants who are not afraid to use hollow points.
