Deadpool 2 Review

*MOVIE MYLA DOES NOT BELIEVE IN SPOILERS AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU*
Welcome back to Deadpool’s world. This is world full of inappropriate jokes, horrible violence and chimichungas. I am with you, Deadpool. I am with you.
We meet Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) in Deadpool 2 nursing a broken heart, wearing Crocs, and listening to Air Supply. The movie just gets weirder and more hilarious from there. Once we get past the incredibly uproarious credits we settle in to the main plot of the movie. Did I type plot? In a Deadpool movie? I did indeed. Basically, Deadpool has to save a kid. That’s it and that’s all we need. It makes for two of the most enjoyable hours you will have at the theater.
I saw the movie in a PACKED theater and the audience was laughing so hard all the way through it (did you expect anything less?), that I missed some lines. This one will need to be seen again. And again. And then like 12 more times when it hits FXX. The jokes are rat-a-tat and totally off color, so don’t even think about bringing a child to see it. Plus, some of the violence would make John Wick blush.
This movie probably could stand on its own if you haven’t seen the first Deadpool. I’m not actually sure. Again, I am entrenched in the whole Marvel thing, so I assume everyone else is. Watch it. You owe it to yourself. It’s one of the funniest movies ever. Also, brush up on your X-Men movies. I know you are smart readers and can figure it out by context, but it will make the movie that much more satisfying. And the end cap? Holy moly! That’s all I’m going to say!
