Movie review: Deadpool 2

Warning: The Following review has mature content with strong languages, sexual and maybe violent. Readers discretion is advised.

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to the movie review.

From 2 years ago, i talked about Deadpool the movie, which it had a potential that i like to see, since i love Deadpool. As a result, it was more like an above average, with typical story and kinda fast pace. Don't give me wrong, its a good movie featuring the merc with the mouth.

Deadpool: *pops out of nowhere* Yeah, i've already mentioned that me and my crew decided to make a sequel that i though it will be twice better than that Shit!

Um... Yeah, i probably think you're right since you released the trailer.

Deadpool: Why thank you, "Canadian boy".

Hehehe, yeah...

Anyway, "Deadpool 2" is a 2018 superhero "R-Rated movie" directed by David Leitch, produced by Simon Kinberg, Ryan Reynolds Deadpool (also wrote this Shit!) and Lauren Shuler Donner, and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

Um, do you really think its good to lined the guy who's playing you?

Deadpool: Because as i told you last year, i never heard of this "Mr. nobody", then i blasted him with "Asta la vista, baby!" then BOOM! He's never seen ever again, unless its the same guy who appeared that godawful green hero.

Right...  Anyway, after the first movie was done, since we like it (sort of), it was quickly announced to make a sequel, which it was already confirmed that we like to find out. Especially with Cable from the future.

Deadpool: No Shit, Sherlock, who would've though he was to kill me to targeting our boy. He's pure evil as T-800.

Either that or im glad he was not working in Skynet. Or maybe Thanos.

So, with all that said, will this movie doing better than the first one, or it will probably left in the dust just like...   Um...  extinguishing in half?

Deadpool: Don't tell you have a Infinity Gauntlet?

Sadly, yeah. *shows that im wearing right hand version of Infinity Gauntlet* Don't take it too seriously, or il snap, since what you did on my old ID pic.

Deadpool: *sigh* Fine... Just roll your thing, Thanos jr.

Its Anthony, thank you very much...

The Story

Surprisingly, its actually a better story than the typical rescuing damsel in distress from the first one.

It takes place two years after the first movie, where Deadpool successfully save his girlfriend Vanessa. After celebrating Vanessa's birthday, Wade Wilson notice group of thugs trying to kill them. While Wade tries to kill them, but it ended up too late that his girlfriend was shoot dead. Causing him feel devastated and probably blamed her death, leaving to commit suicide, despite for the fact he's still alive with healing ability. After being dragged to the X-Mansion by Colossus, he accepted to reunite with him and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, while they're going together, they noticed about a boy named Russell Collins (aka FireFist) who's breaking out of orphanage called "Mutant Reeducation Center", despite that Deadpool tries to save Russell and kill one staff member of orphanage, causing him to sent in isolation prison of mutants called "Icebox", big mistake... Meanwhile, a future soldier named Cable going back in time to kill Russell before he becoming a dangerous killer. Its up to Deadpool to not only getting out of prison (since he's powerless that he's still suffering a cancer), but also bringing members (including Domino) to creating "X-Force" in order to stop Cable.

Like i said, i find the story itself is much better that i expected. Yes, it sounds like a similar story of "The Terminator", but different tone, even though its probably an obvious escort story a bit. However, there's a subplot involving whenever Deadpool got passed out, he was in some kind of dream where he sees Vanessa, begging to see her again. I understand why they want to include a drama, but i find that they used it three times. Aside from that, i like they add an extra plot element where Deadpool wanted to creating his own group of X-Men known as "X-Force" is actually nice to include with adding various mutants that we may or may not care, even though the one that we like for inclusion was Domino. However, the movie got a problem that the pacing is kinda quick like the first movie, which i think it focused on actions, small conversation and a kinda dream scene, even though its an 2 hours film. As for the jokes, i find they're always funny, since im a fan of Deadpool, even though some are overused like running over by a car, which i find it funny, but sometimes it gets predictable.

The story itself is quiet better than before, but the pacing seems to be short for an 2 hours film.

Deadpool: Sounds like we're obviously doing a reference of Terminator since i mentioned the catchphrase.

Either that or Robocop from the first movie.

Deadpool: Yeah right.

The production

Its quiet similar from the previous film, but i think its more interesting to watch. The action scene is pretty cool to watch, chasing after a prison bus, fight club in "Icebox" and various locations in Asia(?). Unfortunately, the violent seems to be tone down a bit with less blood spread while decapitation or even gun shooting, while yes, you can see blood of wound, but i felt it got less of money shot. I guess its because they don't want to get too much in R-rated movie, otherwise it'll go to X-rated, since the first movie has a lot of violent with bloods and possibly exposure nudity.

As for the costumes, some are keeping and some are new that i think i like. First up, i always like the costume of Deadpool, always look the same like the comic that we will never forget, especially they did a good job of a makeup of Wade Wilson. And for Colossus, its pretty obvious that he was appeared in motion capture, even though that sometimes that he looks a bit low-quality of CG, which i know they trying to be look similar in the comic, but i felt they could fix the quality, especially that some action scene can be look a bit cheap, despite some action scenes are great. As for the new characters's outfit, while Negasonis Teenage Warhead new wardrobe is actually better, but some like Cable and Domino looks pretty cool, some are kinda average like Juggernaut and some wasn't that i expected like Russell.

However, the production had a problem what they're trying for the stunt. The most infamous comes that they originally attended that Domino is riding a bike, with a stunt-woman name Joi "SJ" Harris who portrayed as a stunt double of Domino riding a motorcycle without the helmet, but only in wig, which she lost her control, crashed on Shaw Tower and died with her age of 40. She was replaced by an other stunt-woman for various take, until it was ultimately scrapped due to the difficult reason and they dedicated Joi Harris at the end credit. Pretty shame that it would've been cool, but of course, she's not the only one who died in filming stunt.

The production itself is pretty good with actions and costumes, but the violent is sorta tone down that im kinda disappointed and some appearance would've been better.

Also, R.I.P. to Joi Harris.

Deadpool: Yeah, she would've make a excellent stunt instead with my Vespa.

Um, i think you did.

Deadpool: Fuck!

The characters

Despite some welcoming return, but we introduce some new characters.

Deadpool: *pushes me away* Sorry "Mr. Liberty", i decided taking over to explaining who i am. *ahem* I am Deadpool, aka Wade Wilson, aka the same guy who portrayed the previous Deadpool to make me look embarrassed that i wanna killing off that MotherFucker or even the guy with a green ring with vomiting CGI. But now, they and other guy that i never heard made me look good and an Extreme Sex Machine with my guns and Leonardo's duo swords. I love using the 4th wall while killing people. But of course, i am nearly immortal with healing power after my cancer hit me hard. But now, i like to do whatever i want for my crime-fighting and making my own movie. Anyway, back you to, Antonio!

Again, its Anthony! *get up and sigh* Thanks for taking over my review...

Deadpool: Np, bro.

Whatever...

Anyway, then we have Colossus (played by Stefan Kapičić for not only voice, but also in motion capture) who's sorta like the leader of X-Men, Negasonis Teenage Warhead (played by Brianna Hildebrand) who's despite as a character background, but also depicted as a lesbian with Yukio, when GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) looked it up, they're actually fine for it, thanks GLAAD, and Vanessa (played by Morena Baccarin) who's a typical love interest, but killed off shortly.

So what about our new casts?

First up, we have Cable (played by Josh Brolin, aka Thanos from Avengers: Infinity War), he's a soldier from the future and claimed to be opposite from Deadpool. Even though he's a bit similar concept of Terminator, but he's probably the most badass cyborg character i've ever seen and Josh is always did a great job for his antagonist role like Thanos. After all, this is second time he fully appeared in Marvel films (not counted when he appeared as a cameo).

Then we have Russell Collins (played by Julian Dennison). He's a mutated orphan with fire power. However, i had a hard time to thinking whether that he's good or bad, similar to Cable, but Cable was a badass, while Russell is rather mix, which he has a cool power with fire, even though he was kinda being a Dick as a kid. Don't give me wrong, i think Julian did a not bad job of his acting.

Then we have a member of X-force, Domino (played by Zazie Beetz). She's a mercenary mutant with the power of luck. Despite she has a beautiful look in the comic or in the movie, this is gotta be the most boring development i've ever heard. Even though she does "lucky", but she's another character background, but at least she got some action with guns, kinda like her leader Deadpool.

They're few other characters like Yukio (played by Shioli Kutsuna), Blind Al (played by Leslie Uggams), Dopinder (played by Karan Soni ), Juggernaut (played by Ryan Reynolds), Weasel (played by T.J. Miller) and Black Tom Cassidy (played by Jack Kesy).

I find that some characters (including the new ones) are pretty enjoyable that i like the development or even the acting. while some others are just in the background or probably waste of time. But accept for Russell, he's rather good that i can tell.

Deadpool: Already then, does that mean my second one is actually better than before that i was easily regret for typical story?

Well for my final opinion....    I agree with you.

Deadpool: *gasps or surprise*

Overall, its actually superior than the first one. The story is much better that we expected, some actions are great, some characters are likable and the jokes are funny as hell. Even though that it doesn't mean that its perfect, that the violent is kinda tone down, some characters are used to be wasting time of filler sometimes the CG is kinda cheap. If you wanna see a good Deadpool movie, i highly recommend to watch the sequel, otherwise you'll awkwardly skipping from the first one if you haven't know his origin.

And for that, il give it an 8/10. It maybe a great film but again, its not 100% perfect.

Deadpool: Wow, sounds like you take good rating for my sequel. And i was wondering you wanna join me to the "X-Force"?

Um, no, cause i have plenty of stuff to do on my own.

Deadpool: Pweeeaaas--

Ahem...! *raise my right hand of "Infinity Gauntlet*

Deadpool: Oh...!

If you're doing that, you'll lose almost everything. and probably so do mine...

Deadpool: Yeah. Thank you very much, its Chimichanga times! *jumps away to the Taxi with Dopinder and rides away*

Huh...
