Director:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>David Leitch
\nWriter:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick
\nCast:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, T.J Miller<\/p>\n

T<\/span>he Merc with the Mouth is back.<\/p>\n

Deadpool 2<\/em> opens in a rather bleak fashion with Deadpool’s girlfriend Vanessa getting assassinated at the start of the film.\u00a0 Wade Wilson attempts to commit suicide using explosives (!) but he is unsuccessful.\u00a0 He is depressed and without Vanessa, lacks a sense of purpose.<\/p>\n

To help Deadpool find himself, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead team up with him as they become involved in a battle to stop a cybernetic warrior from the future named Cable (Josh Brolin) who has travelled back in time to kill Firefist (the kid from Hunt For The Wilder People<\/em>), a boy who grows up to eventually kill Cable’s family.<\/p>\n

Things get complicated.\u00a0 Both Deadpool and Firefist get sent to a maximum security prison.\u00a0 Deadpool forms the X-Force.\u00a0 The Juggernaut gets involved at some stage.\u00a0 The usual R-Rated gags and antics follow.<\/p>\n

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed\u00a0Deadpool 2<\/em>.\u00a0 I thought the first film was okay but this one had me laughing out loud in the cinema a lot more, despite the humour being more or else of the same ilk.\u00a0 Maybe it was just the mood I was in on the day.\u00a0 It might just be that I found Deadpool’s constant jokes at the expensive of the horrifically mismanaged DC Universe films particularly funny.\u00a0 It’s low hanging fruit.\u00a0 It’s kicking a guy when he’s down.\u00a0 But I think because DC are such an easy target at the moment, I found Deadpool’s cheap one liners at their expense hilarious.<\/p>\n

There’s also a sequence in which Deadpool’s new X-Force team start their first mission together by sky diving out of a plane that really got me.<\/p>\n

Marvel and Fox have really hit gold with the\u00a0Deadpool<\/em> films.\u00a0 Whilst they will never compete with the Avengers films at the box office, they are breaking records in their own right and re-writing the rules for what an R-Rated film can earn.\u00a0 And it reflects with their understanding of what makes the character appealing and a willingness to poke fun at themselves, the super hero genre and never take anything too seriously.<\/p>\n

It’s possible however, that\u00a0temptation may get the better of the studio execs.\u00a0 These films work precisely because of the R-Rated humour and over the top violence.\u00a0 But this Christmas, a PG-rated version of\u00a0Deadpool 2<\/em> will be hitting cinemas.\u00a0 If it is a hit with the younger crowd, I think its likely that\u00a0Deadpool 3<\/em> could end up being a PG production.\u00a0 Which would be a terrible shame.\u00a0 If we’re going to have a million super hero films every year, there needs to be more to distinguish them and\u00a0Deadpool\u00a0<\/em>has carved out a great little niche for itself.<\/p>\n

One last thing.\u00a0 Every super hero movie has a post-credit scene.\u00a0\u00a0Deadpool 2<\/em> probably has the best of the lot.\u00a0 Don’t miss it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
