Deadpool 1 was better...

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2018)

This movie is the latest Marvel offering in the newish Comic Book Comedy genre. I prefer my super hero movies to be a little more on the serious side but with the success of the GOTG movies who can argue?
I admit I loved the GOTG movies. The difference between deadpool and those movies is that GOTG had better stories and the jokes were less gratuitous. GOTG uses humor in a much more intelligent way. Deadpool 2 opens up the joke spigot and sprays the audience mercilously for 2 full hours. Another difference is that the GOTG writers don't see the need to use the F word twice in every sentence. That grates on you after two hours.
I must admit the opening credits were funny. The parachute scene was also entertaining. The rest just felt forced and inorganic.
In short, Deadpool 2 tries WAY too hard to be funny. Next time they should use a new team and go for a better mix of drama, action and yes, comedy.
