Deadpool 2 [2018] (directed by David Leitch, screenplay by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and Ryan Reynolds, characters by Fabian Nicieza [wikip] [MC] [GR] [Amzn] [IMDb] and Rob Liefeld [wikip] [MC] [GR] [Amzn] [IMDb]) continues the saga of "redeemable bad guy" Wade Wilson / Deadpool (played by Ryan Reynolds) one time lowlife/dirtbag hit-man (a "merc"), now since he's proven to be immortal (thanks to undergoing a crazy experimental toxic chemical bath to "cure" his one time cancer -- gotta see the first movie to "understand" ;-) -- and more importantly because he's found a quite mortal if _kind_ girlfriend, a former stripper named Vanessa (played by Morena Baccarin), he's set out to kill only "the bad people."
Well in both Grand Opera / Comic Book fashion, "tragedy" strikes and ... the rest of the story follows. As in the case of the first film, the story is violent, the language is R-rated (though more descriptive / evocative hence surprisingly _intelligent_ than it would initially seem ;-). And judging from the smiling-from-ear-to-ear and often laughing-out-loud 18+ thoroughly mixed (yes, the Dead Pool movies _are_ actually "date movies" ;-) audience the film's clearly fun and arguably to many AWESOME.
To say more would ultimately take away from the film, though I suppose to some it'd be important to remind people here that the Deadpool character falls into Marvel's X-Men storyline rather than the Avengers' or ... the DC Comics universe and in characteristic Deadpool fashion the main character often amusingly skewers those other story lines.
Overall, I enjoyed the film, though I do believe that the R-rating is deserved. So parents, the film is definitely _not_ "for the little ones. Still older teens / the 20-something crowd would probably enjoy the film very, very much. Good job! ;-)
