Packed with more XMEN characters, bigger action scenes, and zanier humor, DEADPOOL 2 proves superior to its riotous predecessor. Ryan Reynolds continues riffing the entire superhero genre while Josh Brolin grunts and growls as the time traveling cyborg Cable. His arrival to kill a mutant child thrusts Deadpool into action to prevent it from happening.
The Easter Eggs and in-jokes speed by like rapid fire from a machine gun. The scale of the action scenes (especially a thrilling convoy chase) are a vast improvement. The story goes in directions you wouldn't expect for a superhero sequel and it takes chances you later applaud it for.
