Really bad film - Deadpool 2 review by TH
The first one was quite fun but this is terrible. Bad jokes and no proper plot. If you like superhero movies i would look elsewhere as there are plenty of them to choose from which are better then this film.

Better than the original… this actually works - Deadpool 2 review by Alphaville
Other reviewers must have been watching a different film. Unusually in the Marvel universe, this is better than the original. A Marvel film with layers of drama and real heart. There’s a plot that actually engages, there are in-jokes that are actually amusing and there’s mercifully much less of the Ryan Reynolds voiceover that made the original so annoying. Josh Brolin, meanwhile, adds some much-needed depth as a Terminator-type baddie from the future who is worthy of a darker film. Who’d have thought?
Typical in-joke: when the plot takes an easy way out of a hole, Reynolds’ quips ‘That’s just lazy writing.’ When the film is about to lurch into a typical Marvel cgi borefest, he warns us: ‘There’s a big cgi fight coming up.’ His X-Force team of hopeless misfits is a riot and features a micro-second appearance of Brad Pitt as the Invisible Man. And the best superpower ever? Luck. Perhaps this kind of self-denigration is what has put some Marvelheads off.

Absolutely Awful - Possibly the worst film this year - Simply Don't Bother! - Deadpool 2 review by CS
Whoever made this film needs to seriously take a long hard look in the mirror and understand that childish drivel, bad taste and gross action do not a good movie make! I really should have listened to what everyone else on here is saying, this really is a bad film in every way! For me, mixing characters from different world and universes simply does not work. In this case Deadpool teams up with the Terminator and X-Men, why isn't explained, given that they are all form different times and universes! What follows is a real mess, sloppy direction, really bad choppy editing, lots of poor CGI, err I would;t call them jokes because they are not funny, lots of references to irrelevant things and probably the worst non script I've ever heard! The first Deadpool film was great and really funny, but this is just lame, it all comes across as though a couple of 12 year olds in school wrote it and then made it from a few bits of cardboard, glue and sticky tape!

Critic review
Deadpool 2 (aka Love Machine / Daisy / DP 2) review by Mark McPherson - Cinema Paradiso
There’s a lot of pressure on such a game-changer as Deadpool coming back stronger for a sequel. The first film was such a surprise as both a savagely R-rated satire on the superhero cinema and a financial success for being R-rated. What does the sequel serve up? Unfortunately, it’s leftover night at the Deadpool compound, reheating the same old antics we’ve seen before. That’s the bad news. The good news is that it’s still a tasty treat of a retreat from the usual superhero affairs, minus the originality.
The film begins with Deadpool realizing he needs to raise the steaks after Wolverine stole the R-rated thunder with the Oscar-nominated Logan. Two can play at that came, he figures, as the story goes about stirring the pathos pot. With a dead girlfriend, he now seeks a means of revenge and finding a purpose. It’s an unlikely path for Wade “Deadpool” Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) to pursue, but he needs a bit of a kick in the pants to get himself going on another action bonanza.
It’s amazing how Reynolds plays up Deadpool with the same level of self-awareness for the silliness of superheroes and overlooks one of the most blatant criticisms of these sequels; the overstuffing of characters. Deadpool is teamed up with the time-traveling mercenary of Cable (Josh Brolin) to prevent the futuristic destruction of the world. That’s enough of a plot right there to give Deadpool someone to stick by as the straight man but there are too many other characters thrown into the mix. He additionally teams up with Domino (Zazie Beetz), a superhero with the power of luck and plot armor. Then there’s the fire-based anti-hero Firefist (Julian Dennison), a kid who may or may bring about Armageddon. Then there are other mutants he teams up. Also, Colossus and Nega return in smaller roles. Also, the prequel X-Men are there.
This script doesn’t exactly offer new jokes as much as expanded ones. Remember how Wade commented on how the Xavier school of gifted mutants seems to have so few mutants? He makes the same joke as a few familiar faces hide behind closed doors from the anti-hero. Not a bad bit but one would think there’d be a better punchline. Something more biting, more scathing. Deadpool seems to be losing that touch as he mostly backs off from the swarm of characters crowding around him, though he still has his moments when hiring on a powerless fat guy for his superhero squad.
Deadpool 2 doesn’t reinvent itself, but it still finds the last few drops of humor worth milking from the previous film. One of the strongest bits finds Ryan Reynolds giving a big middle finger to the film’s timeline, Fox’s X-Men movies, and his very career. But in all the meta humor madness I think the film forgets itself, save for one brief moment where Reynolds looks into the camera during an explanation of time travel and remarks that’s just sloppy writing. Perhaps Deadpool 3 will be mindful enough not to repeat itself; you can only make fun of yourself so many times before the bit isn’t funny and that day could come with a trilogy capper.
