Once Upon a Deadpool - Added Scenes are Better than Most of Film

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2018)

It is funny that I decided to watch this film, because I was sorely disappointed by Deadpool 2 in the first place. However, I loved the gimmick in how they would update the movie for a PG-13 rating. Despite the concept that could have gone so much deeper than it did, this "update" did not work for me at still. Every new scene with Fred Savage was completely hilarious, and even with me not ever seeing The Princess Bride, I was still completely enthralled. I loved how these new scenes were sprinkled throughout the entire film, instead of giving them to us all at once.
Regardless of how much those new scenes were great, the rest of the film, especially in the first half, are mostly garbage. The film really starts to get good when the auditions for the new superheroes happen, but it continues to get ruined by bad jokes and a horrendously over-the-top child villain. Compared to my first watch of Deadpool 2, I was genuinely bored in some parts, and had to resort to my phone so I didn't fall asleep.
I still love the original Deadpool and him as a character, but he did not work for a lot of the second film. Still, he works in these new scenes very well. The parachute scene will be the funniest scene of 2018. And the post-credit scenes were forever be ingrained in my memory.
I just wish the rest of the film was on this level.
Also, I might mention that my rating went down from my previous rating because with this being PG-13, all it did was remove certain scenes (intro scene) and bleep out the cuss words. It wasn't funny and actually ruined some funny moments actually. The PG-13 element worked much better in the added scenes with Fred Savage.
