Deadpool 2
After losing Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), the love of his life, fourth-wall-breaking mercenary Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), must assemble a team and protect a young mutant Russell Collins, aka Firefist (Julian Dennison), from Cable (Josh Brolin), a no-nonsense, dangerous cyborg from the future, and must also learn the most important lesson of all: to be part of a family again.

I just watched Deadpool 2 again and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie is just as wild, hilarious, and action packed as the first one but with even more chaos and somehow even more heart. It takes everything that made the first movie amazing and cranks it up to the next level.
Ryan Reynolds kills it once again as Deadpool. He completely owns the role and brings the perfect mix of sarcasm, emotion, and nonstop jokes. His delivery is flawless and his chemistry with every single character is on point. He knows exactly how to balance the ridiculousness of Deadpool with just enough vulnerability to keep the character grounded.
The action in Deadpool 2 is insane. There are huge fight scenes, over the top explosions, creative slow motion shots, and some of the most absurd stunts I have ever seen in a superhero movie. Every scene feels like a comic book come to life. It is stylish, violent, and fun without ever getting boring.
The humor is nonstop. The jokes come at you fast and hard from start to finish. There are meta references, pop culture burns, self aware commentary, and completely outrageous gags that somehow still land. Some jokes are clever and others are just plain stupid but in the best way. The movie is not afraid to cross the line and that is part of what makes it so good.
The supporting cast this time around is amazing. Josh Brolin as Cable is a great addition. He is tough, serious, and completely the opposite of Deadpool, which makes their scenes together hilarious and intense. His character brings real weight to the story and somehow fits right into the madness.
Zazie Beetz as Domino is another standout. Her power of luck makes for some of the coolest action scenes and her laid back attitude is a great contrast to Deadpool’s chaos. She adds a ton of style to the movie and steals every scene she is in.
You also get a bunch of returning characters from the first movie who are still awesome. Colossus is back trying to keep Deadpool in line and Negasonic Teenage Warhead is still delivering perfect deadpan one liners. Their dynamic with Deadpool brings a lot of laughs and keeps the team vibe strong.
The movie also has more emotional moments than you might expect. There is real heart in this story even if it is surrounded by nonstop violence and jokes. Deadpool actually goes through some stuff that makes you care about him more. It never gets too serious but it adds enough depth to make it matter.
The pacing is tight. There is never a dull moment and the story moves fast from scene to scene. You get action, jokes, new characters, and plot twists constantly and it all feels like it fits together perfectly.
The reason I give it 5 out of 5 stars is because it delivers everything you could want from a Deadpool sequel. It is funnier, bigger, and has just enough of a story to keep things interesting. Ryan Reynolds is on fire and the movie never takes itself too seriously.
Overall Deadpool 2 is one of the most fun superhero movies out there. It is wild, hilarious, and filled with characters you actually care about. If you liked the first one, this one is even better. I loved every second of it and I will definitely be rewatching it again soon.
