I loved the first “Deadpool.” It was a refreshing superhero movie mostly because “Deadpool” is a superhero similar to the way Dexter is a good guy. I mean they both are doing “good” but they are kind of dark and twisty while doing it. I am a lover of the dark and twisty so I am a fan of the not so shiny hero. I also appreciated the R-rating of “Deadpool” so we can finally be real with the violence and the action and not hold back with swearing. Basically, “Deadpool” doesn’t have to be marketed and targeted for 12-year-old boys. “Deadpool 2” felt like leftovers. You warm them up in a microwave and they still taste sort of like the amazing Vietnamese you had the a few days before but just not quite as good…a little dryer, a little older, and just not quite as tasty. “Deadpool 2” felt like a rehashment (I’m not sure that’s even a word) of the initial film and jokes but with more action, and I never like MORE action. Ugh! I was bored by the end.
