    Default Deadpool 2

    So, who here has seen it? I saw it last night and enjoyed it. Here's my spoiler-free review.

    What Worked: The same irreverent, obscene humor that has always characterized the Merc with the Mouth. It made me laugh out loud quite often, and the mid-credits scenes were just as funny. I have to give props to the supporting cast, especially Colossus and TJ Miller as Weasel. It also brought in some of the more obscure mutants (and a guy named Peter) who would otherwise never appear in any film.

    What Didn't: I don't think there was any aspect that DIDN'T work, but sequels like this have big shoes to fill. Guardians of the Galaxy was such a wonderful, weird movie because nothing like that had ever been attempted before. GotG2 kept that same formula but felt more like a retread at times. Deadpool 2 was hilariously violent but it just didn't have the same impact as the original.

    WTF: I hate dubstep and they brought it back.

    Final Grade: B+

    So in the future Deadpool would be crossed with X-Men?? I thought he was also part of Avenger one time?

    Your summary is very accurate, I saw it yesterday. I wanted to see this one in theaters because I missed the last one, but ultimately I'd say wait for the amazon rental for $3.99. good movie, but maybe not worth the money unless you just like seeing your movies in theaters. Some of the humor was predictable or too drawn out for a mediocre joke, but other than some of these jokes killing tension, it was great

    The scene where the X-force jumped out of the airplane was hilarious

    More like an Avengers affiliate. Deadpool was part of the Astonishing Avengers, which was a group cobbled together during an emergency.

    I'm not sure if Deadpool will end up in an X-Men film. I'm sure that Fox and Disney lawyers are fighting over that as we speak.

    Saw it, thought it was pretty funny.

    Only thing i did not like was TJ Miller, never thought he was funny, prolonged descriptions of something just do nothintg for me. But he's not gonna be back for a third so whatevs.

    So, why was "Firefist" so important? Did he eat a supernova?

    Na Deadpool's history sounds really complicated.

    Last time I have read they were planning to do X-Men/Deadpool rotation.

    Ryan Reynolds said he wasn't to keen on making a third one since the character works best when he has nothing and is down on his luck or something to that extent, and kicking him down a peg again would just become boring. He mentioned he was more into the idea of having him be a recurring character in X-men centric movies like X-Force.


    Then again the studio likes money so who knows.

    You picked the wrong trailer.

    One thing is for certain: the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.

    Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
