That was a lot of fun. It is great that we live in a world where not only do Deadpool movies exist but there is also a cornucopia of super hero movies for them to draw material from.
Comparing to the first one I'd say the pacing and first act is clunkier however the overall story is much improved with emotional weight and some twists which subverted my expectations. As far as the laughs go the first pretty much had every joke work and I was laughing the entire time while this one seems to cram in even more jokes and had some amazing belly laughter moments but there were also a few jokes that fell flat. My favourite parts had to be the opening credits, the mansion scene, the X-Force parachuting, and the mid credits scenes. I also loved the DP interactions with the straight men characters of Colossus and Cable. Speaking of Cable, damn can Josh Brolin ever act that guy can play anything. I thought the portrayal was great and am looking forward to seeing more of him.
Overall it was a great time at the movies and on par with the first one. 9/10.
