Mostly everyone’s favorite wise-cracking, fourth-wall breaking hero returns and this time he has to save a mutant teenager from himself and time-traveling anti-hero Cable. It falls into the same trap all sequels do by adding more characters but thankfully, half aren’t around for long. What else? There’s plenty of extraneous violence with some of it having comical results, if you like that kind of stuff.
In short, I think the majority of people who loved the first Deadpool will go on to love this which is impressive given how sequels often have diminishing returns. I went because Somara is a fan. I wasn’t completely bored or grossed out, it has moments worthy of a chuckle or smile, yet one viewing is enough for me.
Finally, DP2 is a Marvel movie, stay through the closing credits for additional gags.
