gonna be a no for me

Rating: 5/10 (7 June 2019)

It's been a minute since I've seen the original Deadpool, but I remember really enjoying it. It was a Marvel movie that didn't follow the traditional Marvel formula. I was hoping Deadpool 2 would be just as enjoyable as the first. Unfortunately, I wasn't amused.
In my opinion, Deadpool 2 doesn't offer anything more from the first one. There's still references, there's still breaking the fourth wall, there's still that trademark self-awareness. I don't really know what else I expected, but after the first five minutes, it just got old. The opening credits are especially cringe.
The first one sold me on its shock value, but the novelty wore off in Deadpool 2. I must admit, a good amount of the comedy is perfect and there are a few great lines to quote. I like the soundtrack too (minus the dubstep), but that's about all I see. I already have a chip on my shoulder when I see a Marvel movie, especially one with a child actor, so perhaps that's the reason this doesn't work for me.
On a different day, I might have liked this, but for now, it's gonna be a solid pass.
