It's actually an incredibly positive and motivational film, not so much because of any family concept – everyone will dismiss the family values stuff with an ironic grin anyway (which is what the story is trying to do, after all) –, but rather for the vulgar and self-reflexive lightness, which brings up a smile that will be broader the more experienced the viewer is – and it’s nice to see an A-level Hollywood production making fun of the clichés and the moral and ethnic "laws" of A-level Hollywood productions in such an open way. What I didn’t enjoy is that it goes overboard with the self-awareness in places, which kills potentially impressive moments, especially around the great Cable, but all in all I had a good time, absorbing all the bold innuendo with gusto and watching with interest how the filmmakers, in a little chaotic and simplistic way at times (the opening and the ending), but mostly thoughtfully, manipulate the possibilities and structure of their fictional world, which also transforms into a commentary and reflection of Western pop culture depending on the situation. At times I felt that the motifs could produce more punchy and rich humour (for example, the obvious Terminator inspiration is done away with in one line), the constant dick jokes sometimes annoyed me, and to rate it better, there shouldn't be so many deaf spots or repetitive techniques. In sum, the winner is definitely number one, which had a more coherent effect on me, the second one is very funny, but the narrative is more cumbersome. 70%

The same problem as with the second Kingsman movie or the second Kick-Ass movie; it should have made fun of clichés of excessive “the more the better" of the second movie and not to follow them. The second Deadpool thus became what the firs movie made fun of. And so the second movie is best characterized by the moment when Pool gives the audience a wink about a generic CGI battle, followed by a completely generic long CGI battle, as from every other blockbuster. And the same could be said about everything. The film makers have a dig at something, but a moment later they make the same mistake. For the second Deadpool movie it is twice as difficult in this respect, because where the first movie with a limited budget had to focus on only the most important staff, the second movie with much larger budget covers many different storylines, some of which are principal while other just fade away and turn into costly and excessive CGI action super scenes. However, despite all my criticism, it can still be biting and funny (most of all in the snuggle scene) and in fact sometimes even nice. But that is something you would expect from any good family movie about important life values.

Deadpool directed by the guy who killed a dog in John Wick is back, and it's the ultimate smash, earning the title of best film of the year so far (only Mission Impossible 6, Sicario and Jurassic World have a chance to beat it). Avengers: Infinity War was admittedly more fateful and darker after the second viewing, but I was slightly bored in the first half, since there aren't that many jokes and action in the space of two and a half hours. In contrast, Deadpool 2 is an uncompromising ride like a motherfucker from start to finish, where black, sarcastic, racist humor alternates with sickeningly brutal action that made my balls shrivel. Josh Brolin as Cable gets another medal (I hope this guy will only get cast as a villain), the pop culture references are all over the place like in Ready Player One, the action is more brutal than any exploitation film, the humour is funnier than any comedy, and the pace is faster than a TGV train. I myself don't know what other movie would have so many genre ingredients combined and that to me makes it a true film nerd orgasm (I was blown away by the similarly minded Kingsman last time). People who appreciate story over humour, action and violence won't be so happy. The handshake scene is one of the best Marvel has ever had. The whole theater applauded. PS: Domino is a Lucky Pussy! 11/10.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This is exactly what the makers of Deadpool 2 followed, sticking to the sequel rules and simply trying to cram more of the things that audiences enjoyed last time into one film. And it works. It's still just as cheeky, gritty and fun. Plus, thanks to a new director, we get a level better action sequences, and besides, the trailers are far from spelling out everything that made it into the film. It's a shame about the slightly more rushed start, but even so, Deadpool 2 is at least on par with the first. Or rather, it surpasses it in every way.

An excellent sequel to an excellent first part about a talkative Canadian who talked the head off Death. The second part has logically lost the moment of surprise, so it makes up for it with bigger explosions and number of stars (not in the review). All the important X-people are back! What’s more, setting up the X-Force and their first mission is super. After Thanos, Brolin is issued with another ultimate hard-guy. There’s less time traveling than I expected, but that is probably being saved for some post-credits scene. A perfect, feelgood family film.
