You're so dark. Are you sure you're not from the DC universe?
Review:
Deadpool 2 is by far the most entertaining movie of the X-Men universe. Deadpool does everything he does in the first movie but oh so much better. He is funnier, more violent and is more of a relatable character because of the plotline.  

The introduction of new characters such as Cable, Domino and Yukio made the dynamics between the characters even better than the first one. 

Cable makes for a great villain and anti-hero. And because Cable is played by Josh Brolin, Deadpool blatantly mocks his Thanos appearance, "Zip it, Thanos". Domino has great charisma and is a very interesting character with a significant amount of screen time. Deadpool 2 received great praise for the introduction of two openly lesbian characters - Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio. I like Yukio, she's funny with her "Hi Wade" catchphrase.

In addition, the main villains in this movie are also much stronger than the villain in the first. 

However, in my opinion Deadpool 2 isn't as good as the original because of a convoluted plot. In Deadpool the plot is simple, straightforward and easy to follow but in the sequel there are too many side plots and the main plot is quite complicated and contrived.

Nonetheless I hope that there will be a third instalment because I like spending time with Deadpool and his friends.

  1. Both movies reviewed and no mention of Weasel. Epic fail. Weasel is all kinds of awesome.

    1. Well sorry. He was funny but wasn't integral to anything that I mentioned in my reviews.

    2. Mackenzie - could someone watch Deadpool 2 without watching Deadpool first and find it entertaining? Does it work as a stand alone movie?

    3. It wouldn’t be as good if you only watched the second but I think it would work
