After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry's hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the Yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor - finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World's Best Lover. Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (AKA. Deadpool), brings together a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg, Cable. The sequel of Deadpool is really fun and takes you to a new kimd of a journey, never done in a comic book movie before, in terms of jokes i see its equal to the first film, but the story was so deeper and well-written! Overall rating: 8/10 The original had its faults, but at least it was made with an understanding of basic storytelling. Halfway through Deadpool 2, I thought, 'What exactly is the plot, here?'. Not even the eponymous hero knows, just some cryptic message from his deceased love, telling him 'Find your heart'. There is no antagonist either, until halfway when it's meant to be Josh Brolin's character that's the big bad, except he's not, then it's the troubled kid, except he's not, then it's Juggernaut. <br/><br/>I'd forgive the film its faults if it were at least fun, but we get a preachy, politically correct Deadpool who talks about gender equality, accuses people of cultural appropriation and racism, and describes old white men as rapists. I thought Deadpool was supposed to go against the grain? Not beat people over the head with the same rubbish that bores and patronises people every day in more mainstream fare. And hey, I know the movie makers made fun of it, but that doesn't excuse them from killing off his wife. They want to talk about gender inequality, yet get rid of her because they can't be bothered to write her into the plot, as it's much too much of an effort to have that complication in a superhero's life. It’s in Deadpool’s DNA to channel the wild id of a 12-year-old boy — a very clever one who happens to love boobs, Enya, and blowing stuff up. Which is dizzy fun for a while, like eating Twinkies on a Gravitron. Eventually, though, it just wears you out.
