Deadpool 2 (2018)

Having already broken the fourth wall in the original, both in terms of narrative structure and racy content, no sequel could ever quite match the transgressive quality of the first film, though Deadpool 2 certainly tries. It does an excellent job of recapturing the essence of the original film, and resurrects many of its tropes, though sometimes a little too spot on and repetitively. There is more of a plot here, in a conventional sense, then there was in the first film, and this movie in particular blurs the line between being a send up of its genera, and just another example of its genera. It's still fun though, Deadpool 2 benefits from the presence of a likable and growing cast of characters and lays the groundwork for a future X-Force film, the very idea of which is kind of meta. This of course is R-rated so not for all tastes, but you already know if this is your kind of thing or not. ***
