Hold your c**cks and load your glocks

This is the story of Peter. A man with no superpowers and strives to be more than he could be on his own. He seeks out a band of superheroes to show his true potential. After joining the ranks of the X-force and beginning his first mission he witnesses his team die in a tragic accident. He soon realizes that he is content with his normal life. Also, there's a red and black super hero that fights a man with a metal arm but then they become friends after beating up a little kid.

Honest review of all 3 versions

[DeadMansTrousers · 7/10 · 23 January 2019]

It's true that you can have too much of a good thing...please no more different editions!

THEATRICAL CUT - was the best version of any of the "cuts" it was the most cleanly edited and it had the best soundtrack out of the three. It is clear after seeing all the versions of the film that they tested all of the jokes and the ones included were cherry picked, and the best were picked to be included in this one.

SUPER DUPER CUT/EXTENDED - this was supposed to be an extended version of the film but it was actually a different cut...what I mean by that is that they changed the soundtrack and they cut out what I considered to be some of the funniest jokes from the theatrical cut and replaced them. They ALSO added some additional footage to the film after making those changes. This version of the film feels darker and less funny to me personally so I prefer the theatrical cut over it.

ONCE UPON A DEADPOOL/PG13 - This is the edition that nobody asked for and is the most unnecessary. From an editing standpoint this version of film is very sloppy, and seems like one giant montage. They don't even start this version of the film out at the beginning it jumps right into the "safe room scene". A lot of the footage included in this edition was already available on the home releases and online (apart from the short amount filmed with Fred Savage). The movie would end up edited on TV regardless of this edition existing or not. So in reality there was no need for this edition to exist apart from making more money.

Deadpool 2 is a great sequel, suited for adults as well. The same hilarious and riveting action as in Deadpool 1, but with more credible characters and better oneliners.

[imseeg · 8/10 · 29 May 2019]

A suicidal superhero comes to the rescue of a fat superhero kid who has got no friends. Will they live happily ever after? I didnt really like Deadpool 1, but I did like this sequel, because the jokes are better and thankfully there are some breathers in between the action scenes, so adults, who value characters and a good story, will be able to appreciate this movie as well.

Deadpool 1 had a too fastpaced tempo, which destroyed the fabric of the movie. Deadpool 1 was more of a longwinding gimmick, this time around though the characters and the story can be enjoyed though in a normal pace, which makes for a lot more pleasurable watching experience. The action is still fantastic, but even the action is more enjoyable, because it isnt non stop as it was in Deadpool 1. A pause now and then, with some hilarious sentimental scenes between the characters, greatly enhances the fun for me of watching these sort of bizarre action comedies, which are usually only made for teenagers, but as I said before this movie can be enjoyed by adults as well.

Watch out for some great short cameos by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. And there is some great seventies and eighties music to be heard by: Dolly Parton, AC/DC, Enya, Barbara Streisand and lots of others, whose music is truly hilarious in the context of this bizarre superhero story.

Captain Deadpool 2

[questl-18592 · 9/10 · 13 May 2020]

Sequels are tough. When I first saw this, I didn't think it quite lived up to the first but on rewatch that's flipped a bit. It's still a flawless Reynolds performance but now he has a solid supporting cast around him, a story that has some meat on it and, surprisingly some growth for the Merc with the Mouth. Still flawed, but so much fun.

Also, much love for Domino and Cable here.

Hilariously funny: a great follow-up to the first Deadpool movie

[grantss · 8/10 · 3 March 2019]

After his trials and tribulations in the first movie, the life of Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool) has now settled down. He's still killing bad guys, but it's more business-as-usual now. Moreover, he and girlfriend Vanessa are madly in love and want to start a family. Then a tragic event throws his life into disarray.

The first Deadpool movie was great, and was a very pleasant surprise, being a comic book movie. Instead of the usual CGI-driven, all style no substance, drivel that most comic book movies are, Deadpool was a comedy, and a really good one. Outrageously funny, original and entertaining. Clever, snappy, laugh-a-minute dialogue. Some great cultural references and in-jokes, especially regarding other comic book movies.

Deadpool 2 continues in the same vein. Some brilliantly funny, laugh-out-loud moments, often based around in-jokes, cultural references and film-industry-deprecating humour.

More action than the first, which is disappointing. Part of Deadpool's charm is that it parodies other comic book movies. By becoming an action movie it threatens to become what it is parodying. There's always an element of humour involved though, even in the deadliest fight scenes, and in so doing the writer and director manage to avoid the hypocrisy of the film becoming what it mocks.

Great work again from Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool: his comedic timing and delivery is spot-on. Good supporting cast, with Josh Brolin playing a great straight character to Reynolds' clowning.

Good entertainemnet

[aurimasvisockis · 8/10 · 6 February 2021]

A better quality script with better quality jokes. Good movie.

Good sequel

[amarshoaib · 8/10 · 12 August 2020]

Not as good as the first one, however it still has a large amount of good moments. A fun over the top superhero movie that's filled with pop culture references and self-referential humor. Very enjoyable especially the end credits scenes

Good sequel to the 2016 hit

[lisafordeay · 7/10 · 8 January 2021]

Deadpool 2 is the sequel to the 2016 film starring Ryan Reynolds,Josh Brolin with some surprising cameos from Billy Skarsgard(IT),Matt Damon(Good Will Hunting),Brad Pitt(Mr and Mrs Smith) and Terry Crews.

After the death of Vanessa,Wade seeks revenge and must protect a young boy from Cable(Brolin) a cyborg who is out to kill. This film pokes fun at Disney, Wolverine, Yeti,Terminator etc. If you loved the 1st one chances are you'll like this one. Celine Dion sings the opening ballad Ashes in a James Bond style opening.

Not suitable for kids. Rated R

Nice sequel

[mailman-47363 · 9/10 · 22 December 2019]

I actually like this better than the original which hardly ever happens. Not for the kids but damn it's entertaining for adults. Deadpool is a complex character foul, violent, vulgar, and irreverent, but also funny with a huge heart. The addition of Josh Brolin worked well against Reynolds.

Solid Sequel

[WooderIce64 · 7/10 · 9 September 2021]

Deadpool is different from other superhero movies in which it seems as much a parody of superhero movies than it does like an MCU or DC movie. It's notable for its brutal violence, excessive profanity, and sexual themes and out-of-universe references. This theme is continued here, with much of those things felt again. Here, though, there's a lot more references to other movies, which includes other superhero movies, and just other movies in general. Here, Deadpool teams up with Cable to prevent Firestarter from becoming a murderer. Many of the characters from the first movie, including Colossus, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Weasel, and Blind Al return for this movie. He also creates the X-Force, a new group of superheroes. Spoiler alert: they die. Everyone except Deadpool and Domino dies within ten minutes of being introduced. The whole "assembling a team" aspect, which was heavily featured in the trailers, was all a really elaborate joke. Also, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio didn't get as much screen time as the trailer would suggest. But that's okay because the movie already has way more characters than it needs, and that's the type of joke that only Deadpool could pull off. The movie's humor is great. The Deadpool movies put emphasis on humor, so it's important that they get it right. There are a lot of references to other movies, from Flashdance to Passion of the Christ of all things, to superhero movies like Batman V Superman and Infinity War, which it's only 3 weeks newer than. It also has an extensive X-Men related sequence that was very well done. There are some great cameos with the X-Force, including Terry Crews, the guy from IT, and a really great one by Brad Pitt. It's a solid movie, and a clear recommendation for fans of the first, or for those who like that style of humor only Deadpool can bring.

Just watched Once Upon A Deadpool

[gpx_fto · 1/10 · 15 December 2018]

It's literally the same movie, I paid to watch something I've already seen. I don't get why you would literally release a movie, and then release it again with 95% of the movie the same, with good bits taken out. I could've just watched Deadpool 2 at home - Since there is NO option to vote for Once Upon A Deadpool - and there should be, sadly I'm going to have to come back and downvote this, simply because you made me waste 2 hours of my life and $24.00 for a movie ticket.

The humor is what makes Deadpool better than all the other superheroes.

[deloudelouvain · 8/10 · 24 August 2018]

I'm not a huge fan of comic character movies even though I watch them all but Deadpool is definitely my favorite Marvel character. I guess it's because he's just a bit kinkier with his sometimes vulgar sense of humor. That's something you will never see in the other Marvel or DC Comics movies. Deadpool doesn't fit in that family package as his constant humor is just above the edge. I'm normally not a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds either but I have to admit that his Deadpool character fits him as a glove. About the story it's a typical superhero against evil like all other superhero movies but that little humorous touch makes all the difference. And for a sequel it's a good one, just waiting for a third one now.

So good!

[AnnaPagrati · 10/10 · 31 August 2021]

This movie was GOLD! I enjoyed it so much, it was so pleasant!

Hilarious funny, definitely recommend

[aleparker-53822 · 7/10 · 24 August 2018]

This movie was so funny and I absolutely love the cast. Ryan Reynolds is just...he's Ryan Reynolds!!! And I loved Peter he was a great guy. You have to go see this movie

Deadpool 2: Worthy sequel

[Platypuschow · 9/10 · 22 August 2018]

I loved Deadpool (2016) I was blown away by it and Reynolds commitment to the character, it was fantastic.

I was however heartbroken when I saw the first trailer for this sequel, it looked pants. Not just pants, I mean granny pants. 15yr old, torn, badly stained (4 different shades) granny pants.

I've never been so happy about being wrong. Deadpool 2 delivers and is easily comparable in quality to the first movie and I sure as hell did not expect that.

With fantastic new additions, all the returning cast and excellent cameos this is the Deadpool sequel I desired but didn't expect (Or possibly deserve).

With it's brand of over the top violence, quick fire humour, endless pop culture references and Reynolds in the role he was born to play Deadpool 2 is a worthy sequel in a franchise that I don't ever want to end if it continues like this.

So damn funny, I can't wait to see what they do with the third movie. The concept however of bringing Deadpool into the existing Marvel Universe though fills me with dread. How could Deadpools brand of R rated goodness possibly fit into the Disney universe? Don't........do it!

The Good:

Cast are fantastic again

So damn funny

Action packed

Soundtrack as random as it may be

The incredible during credits scenes

The Bad:

That kid, he's just beyond annoying in everything he's in

Some questionable casting choices for the new characters

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Everyday should be international womans day

Vinnie Jones is all grown up

Not as good as the first one

[agmuscat · 6/10 · 16 May 2018]

After really looking forward to this movie, I came out of the cinema slightly disappointed. Theres plenty of joke and action but the jokes seemed to be a bit meh, I only remembered laughing out loud twice and story line is a bit disjointed. The problem I had is in the DP 1 you had the shock factor of a tongue in cheek mavel character but in this movie that's already gone, so you have to rely on a good plot but unfortunately it lacked that, so I felt a little bit bored by it. I'm not saying it not a good movie but I expected a lot more but sadly I felt let down.

Ryan Reynolds reprises his role with a movie that does it right all across the board

[jackgdemoss · 9/10 · 19 June 2018]

A sequel that surpasses the hit original, Deadpool 2 is laugh out loud funny the entire way through. The comedy is very similar to the first and is certainly not kid friendly. It is positively brutal in its action at times, with hysterical call backs and meta references. A must-see comedy.

Entertaining

[dylanrehab · 6/10 · 26 May 2021]

Most superhero films are just tedious and boring because there's no elements of threats or worry that the characters might not make it through. You simply cannot emote to any of the superhero films unless you have severe emotional developmental problems or you are under the age of 12.

Thankfully in Deadpool can overlook do usual tropes and stereotypes because it has a quite a bit of humor. The action displayed pretty entertaining too.

We are family

[Lily_hoho · 8/10 · 13 May 2020]

Marvel films have always tried to combine superheroes with genres, and so has the deadpool franchise, which began as a romance and is now billed as a family drama. At first I thought deadpool was really going to be a father, but in the end I realized there was a broader definition of "family."

nice timekiller

[Kentor1 · 7/10 · 21 June 2020]

Movie was pretty good, alot of action and some good actors, i just couldnt stand the kid.

Didnt hold a candle to the first movie

[vpurbano · 1/10 · 6 September 2018]

Man was I dissappointed. This failed for me. The first movie had a strong mix of gang members. This one stunk.

Worthy sequel

[dieseldemon85 · 8/10 · 30 May 2021]

This one was just as enjoyable as the first. Great action, tied in with humour. I've never been a fan of Marvel but have enjoyed the offerings of this franchise. I do hope they make a third.

"DP2 Grabs You & Won't Let Go!"

[luiet · 9/10 · 24 August 2018]

I didn't think "DP2" could possibly be funnier than the first? It was! A bigger budget helps but as with everything? Writing, Directing & of course, the actors make this quite a film! It's all action & hilarity, from the first scene to the last! I'm not gonna spoil it? This movie grabs you from the starting credits, until the screen goes black! Not made for children!

Successful Sequel

[hannahgrahambell · 7/10 · 22 May 2018]

Deadpool 2 masterfully pushes the wild humor and emotion to new heights, which sufficiently covers up narrative flaws and a misstepped social commentary. Compared to Deadpool, Deadpool 2 seems more comfortable handling the elements that made the original a success. The humor is bolder and more self-aware because the audience is already familiar with the characters. Ryan Reynolds masters the tricky balance between heavy emotion and outrageous wisecracks because the audience is trained to expect a joke for every heartfelt scene, and the movie gladly obliges. Every trick in the book is used to evoke emotional responses, but the winks to the audience make such manipulation acceptable, even welcome. For those worried that Deadpool 2 is more of the same, they needn't fret. The movie introduces a handful of new characters, each well-acted and funny in their own way. There are also some celebrity cameos sprinkled in. Sure, some of them are there solely to make a joke or two, but a couple of the new characters clearly places in future movies. Compared to some superhero movies, Deadpool 2 has a streamlined narrative and pulls off a highly successful third act. The climax of the movie not only avoids the Marvel "villain problem," but it's also packed with great action, hilarious jokes, and solid character moments. This success overshadows some plot inconsistencies in the first and second act, which are minor but might bother some hypercritical audience members. Despite Deadpool 2's undeniable strengths, two features hold it back slightly. First, the subject of death is handled with such inconsistency that it seems jarring. One character's death is an unspeakable tragedy, while another's is just a comic bit. The movie missed an opportunity to make fun of the careless treatment of civilian deaths in comic-book movies, but instead fell into the trope. Deadpool 2 also tried to make a progressive commentary on diversity in superhero films, but its minority characters did not have particularly strong roles. Thus, this commentary seemed a bit undeserved and out-of-place. For fans of the original Deadpool, the sequel will not disappoint. The movie capitalizes on what it did well in the first movie and the result is a riotously entertaining, surprisingly emotional, and satisfying second installment.
