Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2, still irreverent, iconoclastic, as far as sequels go, it's not the usual milk the franchise effort. There were jibs, there were jabs, as well as a smattering of action, mostly towards the earlier part of the first half of the movie.

But it is still far from perfect, especially when compared to the first movie which had more whimsy, more meaty narrative and plot of substance. Marvel seems to have gone soggy sandwich syndrome when it comes to some jokes and especially when it comes to character grit and attitude reversal - almost like whatever trials and tribulations that usually, irrevocably, alters a persona is magically nullified transforming a stoic and battle hardened demeanor and to an amicable ally.

But Deadpool being Deadpool still punches leagues above the weak showing of Thor Ragnarok both in terms of comedy and story. It's still a decent watch for Deadpool fans and non fans alike, with the introduction of Cable, old regulars and a motley crew. Oh and the title is something of a gem and stick around for the end credit scenes.

Thanks!
