Deadpool 2

Apple Rating:

Deadpool 2 is exactly what you were expecting – no more and no less.  It is full of ‘wink wink’ jokes and exagerated gruesome violence, just like the first one.   Ryan Reynolds is fantastic again as Deadpool, the reluctant super hero.  In this outing, Deadpool joins forces with – among others – Domino, Shatterstar and Bedlam, to save a teeneage boy from Cable, who is from the future and wants to prevent the boy (who has X-Men like powers) from growing up and killing Cable’s family.  He plans to do this by killing the boy.  Along the way, Deadpool gathers other super heros to help him; creating his own team he calls X Force.  Success for the team is NOT an option.  He and TJ assemble an interesting assortment of ‘heroes.’  My favorite was Domino, whose super power is that she is extremely lucky!  This is not a spoiler, but if  you look carefully you can spot Matt Damon in a cameo as an old man; and some of the newer X-men, including James McAvoy.  The best cameo in my opinion though is when Brad Pitt shows up.  You have to look quickly though because if you blink, you will miss it.  Deadpool 2 is a follow on to the first in story line; and doesn’t deviate from the things that made the first such a success.  It may not be quite as entertaining as movies like Infinity War or Black Panther, but it is definitley funnier.  Oh, and I wouldn’t bring younger kids to see it, this isn’t an R-rated movie for nothing!
