Film: Deadpool 2

The first Deadpool was clearly genius in all it wanted to do: it was satirical, audacious, fun and showed exactly what could be achieved when filmmakers trust their audiences. It was also novel for all these reasons (and a few more).

Deadpool 2 is more of the same... except for the novelty. And it appears, for me at least, that novelty was part of the reason I liked the first film so much. That's not to say I didn't enjoy Deadpool 2; I just didn't find it as sublime as the first installment. On the other hand, for those who are exactly looking for more of the same, Deadpool 2 delivers in spades.

Oh and I'll also throw a nod to Zazie Beetz, whose portrayal of Domino was my highlight of the film. Recommended.
