User Review

  • The less audiences know about "Deadpool 2" going in, the better, so everything that follows in the full review will refrain from the kind of details that would spoil the experience. So what should you expect? Violence, profanity, a surprising amount of genuine heart, absurd stunts, juvenile jokes, meta-reference overload, heavy CGI-laden fights, delightful cameos, and the kind of surprises that will leave your jaw on the floor. Frankly, though, “surprise” is a word that should be forever-stricken when describing involving Deadpool’s history. It’s a franchise that would never have been were it not for leaked test footage during 2014’s San Diego Comic Convention. It’s a franchise that would never have been were it not for lead actor Ryan Reynold’s tenacious action to keep the film alive in the hearts of Deadpool fans the world over. The Merc with the Mouth, nicknamed such for his fondness for oversharing via diarrhea of the mouth, is the head of a franchise that should never have been. However, if "Deadpool 2"’s an indicator of the strength in front of and behind the camera in understanding the character (and its audience) – Deadpool isn’t going anywhere and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
