Another Superhero Landing

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2018)

Deadpool 2 comes two years after the wildcard film of 2016 Deadpool. Does it live up to the hype...
For me absolutely yes, I found myself laughing throughout the film in the two showings that I went to. Like all comedies though not all jokes land with everyone but humour is subjective and there is enough jokes in this film to rival the past 3 MCU films however its not flooded with potty humour such as in the first film, instead most of the jokes are the meta references and fourth wall breaks.
If you haven't seen the first film (which you should) you may be in for a surprise; Deadpool 2 is very much like a Deadpool comic you take a simple story, then throw in Deadpool and the absurdity goes though the roof. Obviously they wouldn't be able to do that with their main star Ryan Reynolds who portrays the character like no one ever could in my eyes. Although most times I ended up liking the supporting characters more as they were so unique. It was just a shame that we didn't see more of negasonic teenage warhead (pff I know) as she was a personal favourite of mine in the first film.
If there was one thing that bothered me with this film it would have to be some of the CGI, this film is definitely ambitious and you can see see the budget running low with some of the big set pieces.
Overall Deadpool 2 is a solid action/comedy that lives up to the hype for me and I would recommend watching this film for both die hard and casual fans.
