A Step-Up From Its Predecessor

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2019)

I like Deadpool. I think it's a fun violent comic book adaptation, but I never really got into it as much as others did. I always felt something was missing. Still, it was a 7 or a 7.5/10 for me and I enjoyed it. But then, Deadpool 2 came out last year and I decided to go and see it in the cinema. Needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was a lot more humorous and enjoyable than the first movie, better cast as well. Ryan Reynolds was born to play the role of Deadpool, as further showcased here in its sequel, and Josh Brolin was fantastic as Cable -- another role he's fantastic in besides Thanos. The action was on-point and there are loads of epic visuals throughout to help capture its essence. The comedy was well-written and I actually found myself laughing a lot whereas the first one, although funny, not just as much. There's a sense of charm and heart with this one more so as well, especially considering its ending. I think Deadpool 2 is one of the best movies of 2018, and a fine addition to the extended X-Men universe.
