Movie Review: Deadpool 2

Rating: 6/10 (6 April 2019)

I'm very split on Deadpool 2. Some elements of this film is very unexpected and others are painfully predictable. I really liked certain decisions towards the middle of the film regarding Dennison's character Russell and Brolin's Cable. Reynolds is again perfect for his role and again this is a very funny movie for the most part. There are a few times where the film takes the obvious joke and doesn't let serious moments lie for as long as it should, which is an issue I had with the original. As I said up top this film can be way to predictable, this usually isn't too much of an issue but the film appears to frame it's self as completely unexpected based on a small handful of moments that on the long run don't have much of an impact on the film as a whole. All action scenes are shot extremely well, which is to be expected as the director is one of the guys behind John Wick. It's an unpopular opinion right now but I this wasn't as funny or as focused as the original and it didn't leave much of an impression on me.
