Superhero Laughs

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2018)

Deadpool is back. This time, he's got a far greater arsenal of jokes than guns and nunchucks. Deadpool 2 is more manic, more in-your-face and more outrageous than it's predecessor. It's exactly the kind of sequel you thought it would be. What does it all amount to? A time at the movies that leaves you rocking in your seats till the credits roll. But the jokes come flying at you so fiercely, it's noticeable which one stick from which ones that fall completely flat. Yes, most of the jokes hit hard and left me howling. From unsubtle jabs at the X-Men franchise, to baby legs, to an impressive diagetic use of showtunes, to a vicious roast of Ryan Reynold's cinematic decisions. Deadpool 2, is Deadpool in and of itself. It doesn't really care. It's lovable in that respect. Along with the fun is Josh Brolin who makes a welcomed addition to the team as Cable. Plus, an X-Men cameo many will be thrilled to see.. and no, it's definitely not Wolverine.
