Deadpool has been making a living for the last couple of years as a mercenary. But when a failed hit comes back to bite him, the Merc finds himself in a rough place. He needs to get his mojo back, and when a mutant teenager causes an incident, and the time-traveling cyborg Cable shows up, it just may be the thing Deadpool needs to get himself back in order.
There are a couple of things I think this film does do very well. One is surprising people. If you've seen the trailers, you know Deadpool forms a team. Well, what happened to them was a genuine shock, and is utterly hilarious. This film had me laughing through it. Also, I think the people in charge of Deadpool's soundtrack had a thing for 80s music.
One of the villains was also surprising. I never expected this character to be appearing in the film at all. But it was awesome to see him there.
The cast was fantastic. There was a cameo that I never expected in the movie. Ryan Reynolds shows how much he embodies Deadpool like Robert Downey Jr. embodied Iron Man, or Christopher Reeve embodied Superman. Reynolds brought the hilarity, but also showed some wonderful emotional moments. Josh Brolin as Cable was also a ton of fun, but it's not hard to think of him as Thanos a bit. It's the voice. Zazie Beetz was fun as the ever-lucky Domino, and the film shows off her luck power well.
I don't really have any major complaints about the film. It does use one trope that did cause some controversy, but the film in its own way turns it on its head. There was another new character I wanted the film to explore a bit more, since she did something cool in the movie. Sorry about the vagueness, I'm trying to avoid spoilers.
Should you see Deadpool 2? I say, yeah. It's a hilarious movie with a surprising amount of heart. But it does have the R rating for a reason, so keep that in mind.
