Summary
Reviewers say 'Deadpool 2' is lauded for its humor, action, and Ryan Reynolds' performance. The film's self-awareness and fourth-wall breaks are celebrated. New characters, like Josh Brolin's Cable, are welcomed, though some wish for deeper development. Emotional depth, especially regarding loss, is noted as an improvement. However, plot inconsistencies and familiar tropes are criticized. Special effects and CGI receive mixed feedback. Overall, 'Deadpool 2' is considered a fun, entertaining sequel that mostly meets expectations.
Featured reviews
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
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.
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.

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.

Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 23 mins) The footage of the X-Men closing the door was shot on the set of X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019) and sent over to the Deadpool 2 crew.
- Goofs(at around 1h 8 mins) When the brakes on the prison rig are cut, they leak hydraulic fluid making it unable to stop. A vehicle of that size and weight would definitely require air brakes, which not only don't leak fluid but apply automatically if the fluid line is cut.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: The opening credits presented in a James Bond style sequence, but most of the credits are actually complaining about Vanessa's death.
- Alternate versionsIn India, the CBFC (Central Board Of Film Certification) demanded that audio edits be made to the film before the film could receive an 'A' rating (meaning that only an adult audience; whom are aged aged 18 and over can attend screenings of the film). These changes bleeped out some heavier profanities from the film; the violence and sexual humor however was left uncut.
