Avengers: Infinity War may be dominating the charts at the worldwide box office right now but next up is Deadpool 2, a movie which has a lot riding on it. After all, the first instalment vastly exceeded expectations, and with Solo: A Star Wars Story on the horizon, the sequel will have to do a lot if it hopes to do enough to convince Disney that Ryan Reynolds is worth keeping around after that merger.

Today, the first reviews for the movie have been released and it's fair to say that they're...mostly positive! There are certainly more good verdicts than bad but it appears as if some critics are already sick and tired of the Merc with the Mouth's antics. Honestly, though, that's pretty much the same reaction the first movie received and it's hard to imagine those making much of a difference.

So, to check out this full list of reviews for yourselves, all you need to do is click the "View List" button.



Ultimately, while Deadpool 2 is a lot of fun, it doesn’t quite pack the burst of energy the first one did; how could it?! It now feels like the studio is a little too in on the joke at some point, and the whole appear of Deadpool is his outsider status. Reynolds was born to play Deadpool and I hope he keeps doing it forever, but in more of a supporting or ensemble position. DP2 is more of the same humor but in a bigger, more franchise-friendly package. [3/5]

That’s the major issue of Deadpool 2. The cast is largely talented enough, and willing to laugh at themselves. And anyone with even a moderate level of knowledge of superhero movies of the last decade will spot plenty of winking nods, from references to Marvel’s rival to an Airplane!-level attempt to mock the faux-profound musical compositions that accompany intense fights. But this movie’s script is so inside-baseball that it’s moderately alienating. One or two of the gags land — such as a non sequitur about Guy Pearce — but Deadpool 2 is mostly just a carbon-copy of its smugly satisfied predecessor. [3/10]

The other big spring superhero release, Avengers: Infinity War, wanted to have it all – huge action, devastating tragedy and flippant jokes. But it's Deadpool 2 that is the more emotional and entertaining of the two, while tweaking the nose of Infinity War's hype. Deadpool 2 may not be the biggest and most hyped superhero movie out right now, but it might just be the smartest. [4/5]

Blonde was deliberate pulp, but its fight scenes had a messy, bone-crunching veracity that DP2 mostly trades in for chaotic cartoon violence. There’s a numbing sameness to the casual bloodshed here that makes the viewer almost long for the relative calm of the first film’s lengthy pop culture digressions. It’s in Deadpool’s DNA to channel the wild id of a 12-year-old boy — a very clever one who happens to love boobs, Enya, and blowing stuff up. Which is dizzy fun for a while, like eating Twinkies on a Gravitron. Eventually, though, it just wears you out. [B]

The non-stop revelry is what gets you in the theater, but Deadpool’s identity-defining journey keeps you there — and even doles out some warm fuzzies. He proclaims it a “family film,” following a scene very much not for kids, though Deadpool has a point. Returning pal Blind Al (Leslie Uggams) tells him, “You can’t really live until you’ve died a little” — a poke at his top-notch healing ability as well as a theme that sinks in between guffaw-worthy moments and complete craziness.

No character suffers more from this back-and-forth than Cable (Josh Brolin), a character so dark and gritty that Deadpool wonders aloud if he's come over from the DC universe. (There's that self-referential humor again!)  Cable's got good reason to be bummed out, as we learn, but the film barely gives us any time to process his tragic backstory. So it's just kind of there, slowly getting buried underneath an avalanche of butt jokes and superhero snark. But that's okay. There'll be plenty of time to explore his backstory later on. After all, as Wade himself would probably tell you, Deadpool 2 is definitely getting a sequel.

Despite the fast pace, there are stretches in the movie’s hour that drag in terms of interest. But “Deadpool 2” gets better as it goes along. It introduces a winning new character, Domino (Zazie Beetz), whose superpower is being lucky, thus making a virtue out of any unlikely good thing that might happen to her. Best of all, there’s the parachuting sequence, in which Deadpool takes his new superhero team out on a test run — with hilarious results.

Deadpool 2 throws everything it has at you until you throw your arms up in happy surrender. Like its predecessor, the sequel is a grab-bag of humor, sorrow, sensation and silliness. None of it should work – but it does like gangbusters, creating a sequel that will blow you away with nonstop action and hardcore haha. It's a summer movie that trips over itself in a mad-crazy dash to make us laugh till it hurts. That's what kind of [frick]sicle this is. [3.5/4]

SOURCE: Rolling Stone

At one point in "Deadpool 2," Reynolds as Deadpool references the surprise Golden Globe acting nomination he earned for his work in the first film. "The Academy is watching," he whispers to his audience. Are they? It's either self-deprecating snark or earnestness masquerading as self-deprecating snark. Deadpool, a superhero who deep down inside is just as basic as the rest of us, wants it both ways. He might need another sequel to actually pull it off.

SOURCE: Los Angeles Times
 


All in all, Deadpool 2 showcases everything a Deadpool movie could be, with fantastic action, uproarious humor, and just enough drama to balance everything out. In fact, Deadpool 2 is so much more a complete vision of a Deadpool movie that the first film retroactively feels somewhat lesser in comparison, like a proof of concept experiment (with little confidence behind it) or extended test footage reel. No doubt that is the result of Fox not having confidence in the first Deadpool movie, with its runaway success leading to the sequel receiving a much larger budget and allowing its creatives to be more ambitious. Ultimately, it pays off with a Deadpool sequel that is bigger and better than the first film. It honors everything that worked in the original Deadpool, while delivering a more fun and complete movie experience in Deadpool 2 that will win over even those that weren't wholly impressed by the first film. [4/5]

With its fast moving, anything-goes sense of humor, Deadpool 2 recalls the parody films of recent yore, those silly/funny spoofs now too risky and impudent in the era of Shareholder Cinema. Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs), the Zucker Brothers (Airplane!, The Naked Gun) and Keenan Ivory Wayans (Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2) enjoyed some of their biggest successes when they catalogued and spoofed the elements of various genres. The Austin Powers films did the same, as did a personal favorite, The Big Bus. With its thorough knowledge of the films it’s referencing and a willingness to use that knowledge to create a lovingly wicked takedown, the Deadpool films can legitimately be viewed as parodies of the superhero genre. Even if the parody involves a character who’s already a member of the club he’s ridiculing, sometimes the most successful crimes are inside jobs.

Somewhere lost among the hacked limbs and the pop-culture references is an actual story about an over-the-top character straining to be taken seriously and losing sight of whatever it is that he can do for other people. However, that’s not to suggest that Deadpool 2 isn’t ultimately more interested in the zingers. Every cultural moment needs a smart-ass, and sometimes, you take what you can get.

SOURCE: AV Club

Snappy, self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking lines like that flow fast and rarely miss their targets in the ensuing adventure. The lines between good guys and bad guys are refreshingly blurred, and the movie is at its funniest when it genuinely subverts the formula – as with Deadpool’s ill-prepared attempt to assemble his own “X Force” superhero team. But there are still boxes to tick in terms of moral lessons about guilt, revenge and (stop me if you’ve heard this one before) “family”. Not to mention regular crash-bang action set pieces. The cartoonish excess is often gratifying, but even when a big CGI fight scene is prefaced with Reynolds saying, “big CGI fight scene coming up”, it is what it is. [3/5]

SOURCE: Guardian

The material is all delivered with such brazen confidence and mania that it is almost impressive. The fact that the film can mock the conventions of its sister X-Men movies in one breath and exploit the worst narrative crutches of comics in another (look up “Women in Refrigerators” afterward, if you want to have a really bad day) indicates the film is inherently conflicted with itself. There is an interesting superhero movie lurking in here, somewhere. If the original film had only earned, say, half of its US$783-million, maybe we would’ve gotten to see it, too. As it is, Deadpool 2 is a film that is merely aggressively aggressive.

SOURCE: The Globe And Mail
 


Need more proof that “Deadpool 2” pushes way past its genre into actual subversion? Look no further than its bonkers mid-credits scene, one littered with references and cameos and callbacks that also, gasp, genuinely impacts (and maybe even forever changes) the entire movie that played before it. It’s not just a dumping ground for tossed-off gags and vague references as to what’s coming next, it’s a world-changing dash that could easily have fit inside the film itself. Now that’s different. [B]

If you’ve got comics-movie fatigue, with frequent fourth-wall breaks to point out lazy writing, blatant foreshadowing or heavy reliance on CGI for fight scenes, “Deadpool 2” is here for you. That doesn’t mean those things aren’t there (they are) — but the eagerness of “Deadpool” to call out its own shortcomings earns this trash-talking franchise a lot of goodwill.

SOURCE: New York Post

But despite the swollen ensemble, it’s still Reynolds’ show. Whether slicing up scoundrels in a pair of stilettos, or embarking on the most ballsy Basic Instinct gag ever committed to screen, this cements Deadpool as his defining role; and paired with John Wick’s David Leitch in the director’s chair, the action feels more muscular and ingenious. We’d say it’s the rare sequel that surpasses the original — but as Deadpool would put it: “That’s just lazy writing.” Funnier, filthier, and damn entertaining, Deadpool 2 leaves no stone un-deconstructed: the naughty man-child of the X-Men universe who manages to beat them at their own game. [4/5]

While most superheroes are rather po-faced do-gooders, Deadpool offers something more irreverent, more grotesque in its humour and – with his withering asides direct to the audience – more knowing. For this sequel, Ryan Reynolds and company have doubled down on what worked in their 2016 super(anti)hero hit, sometimes to the point of exhaustion. [3/5]

Deadpool 2 eventually draws its disparate elements together, gains momentum, and pushes towards something more closely resembling a traditional finale. In keeping with the rest of the movie, it’s still fairly small-scale and character-focused, and surprisingly, it’s emotionally effective too. Despite the character’s trademark flippancy, there’s a real unexpected warmth to Deadpool 2. Not only does the sequel explore this flawed character, it firmly establishes him as a loveable and effective hero. [7.8/10]

Does “Deadpool 2” pick up its predecessor’s baton and run off to new and exciting places? Not really. Is it as tasty as leftovers on the second day? Absolutely. Temper your expectations accordingly.

One final note: It should go without saying at this point, but any moviegoer who hops up once the credits begin will be sorry. While its most delightful surprises are toward the beginning of the credit roll, it's worth sitting through to the end — especially for any viewer who was too distracted by the decapitations, fireballs and impalings of the final battle sequence to make out the lyrics of the Carmina Burana-ish chorus playing in the background.

Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), the love of Wade’s life, warns him that his heart is not in the right place, and there is a softness, a sentimentality, at the heart of “Deadpool 2” that at once guarantees its mass acceptability and undermines its satirical credibility. What drives this franchise is the same force that drives so much culture and politics right now: the self-pity of a white man with a relentless need to be the center of attention. He is angry, violent, disrespectful to everyone and everything, and at the same time thoroughly nontoxic and totally cool.

A fine, funny and filthy comic book superhero sequel that makes sure to be a coherent and entertaining movie first and a giant self-referential in-joke second. [7/10]

SOURCE: Forbes
 


At its best, the film resembles an ultraviolent Looney Toons spinoff, with Reynolds once again going full Bugs Bunny behind either a mask or a mountain of makeup — his extremities all akimbo, his rapid-fire comic patter usually landing on just the right side of obnoxiousness. At its worst, there’s something mustily mid-’90s about its self-congratulatory rudeness, its sensibilities lying somewhere between a Farrelly brothers film and a Mountain Dew commercial. Lurking behind its constant self-critiques — pointing out plot holes before you can, acknowledging when its puckish humor edges toward racism but making the joke anyway — is a strange combination of cleverness and cowardice, a self-inoculation against the very responses it goes out of its way to provoke. No matter how far “Deadpool 2” thinks it’s pushing boundaries, it makes sure that even when a gag falls flat, the joke is always on you.

Deadpool 2 is an overstuffed cinematic burrito of raunchy insults, dismembering violence and a "no f#*ks given" attitude that's ready to burst at any second, but somehow holds together bite after enjoyable bite. [3.5/5]

SOURCE: We Got This Covered

With higher highs and lower lows than Deadpool, the sequel has a lot of the problems all sequels do. Having such a strong starting point as it does, the end result is still incredibly entertaining with more laughs per minute than a big action movie really deserves. And if that’s all anyone wants out of the series, it can probably continue on as is for a long, long time. But if anyone involved wants to make as big a leap as the first film did, it’s time for the series to take some hard looks at itself. [7.5/10]

“Deadpool 2” doesn’t reinvent the wheel, nor is it going to change the super-powered underoos game at all—it did that once already with its obscene humor and R-Rating—but as a diverting slice of popcorn escapism, it acts as a nice antidote to the grim ‘Infinity War,’ and could be the lewd and indecent superhero film to beat. [B+]

SOURCE: The Playlist

Part of me wants to see Deadpool 2 a second time before finalizing a grade. Scenes that elicit laughs for their shock value will lose impact, but I can't tell if that will hurt the overall experience of this deeply satisfying sequel. As it stands, Deadpool 2 is an outrageous, surprising, hysterical, emotional, vulgar, creative and uproarious summer blockbuster that fans of this genre -- and of comedy, in general -- will devour.

SOURCE: Cinema Blend

“Deadpool 2” is wicked, dark fun from start to finish, with some twisted and very funny special effects, cool production elements, terrific ensemble work — and for dessert, perhaps the best end-credits “cookie” scene ever. This is the best sequel since “Godfather II.” OK, not quite, but that sounds like something Deadpool will say about “Deadpool 2” in “Deadpool 3.” [3.5/5]

SOURCE: Chicago Sun Times
 


He’s back and he’s as hilarious, homicidal and outrageous as ever, although maybe a little mushier. Played with relish by Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool is the Marvel superhero for grown-ups (plus teenagers with a high tolerance for decapitation, swearing and dildo references). His stonkingly successful first outing grossed more than $780 million in 2016, which — he points out in one of many asides to camera in this mostly rollicking sequel — puts him on a par with The Passion of the Christ. Deadpool is “mentioned in the same sentence as Jesus”. And you thought John Lennon was cocky. [4/5]

SOURCE: TImes

The action remains mostly routine, but the film allows Deadpool's sudden tenderness for Russell to bleed through his smarm without delving into mawkishness. More importantly, Reynolds and Brolin have chemistry to burn, with Brolin resurrecting some of the same funnier-than-he-looks straight-man intensity that he brought to Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice. Deadpool 2 finds itself in its homestretch, with solid enough narrative and comic plotting to make the prospect of further exploration of the longstanding history between its two leads an enticing one.

SOURCE: Slant

The old saying goes “well, if you liked the first one, you’ll love the sequel” and it’s so true with Deadpool 2 as it returns to do more of what it does best but those wanting some a more rounded, mythology-exploring follow-up might leave a little disappointed. But when all is said and done, the Merc with the Mouth’s return is an unabashedly, shamefully entertaining rollercoaster romp that has some brilliant moments while never quite feeling like a wholly satisfying whole.

SOURCE: HeyUGuys
 


At the end of the day, this is going to be a movie in which your mileage is going to vary a lot depending on how bought in to the Deadpool brand you already are. Stripped of the boring motivation, the awkwardly handled emotional stakes and the obviously curated-by-committee gags Deadpool 2, is a fun movie that’s at its strongest when it really allows the ensemble cast to shine. With any luck — maybe Domino can share some of hers — the stumbles here are only temporary and non-fatal, and future Deadpool outings will play to those strengths instead of resting on the laurels of safety and convention that it wants so desperately to thumb its nose at.

SOURCE: CBR

Deadpool 2 has its unwieldy moments as it gets all these good and bad guys and gals in line, but it finds its groove by the second half—to the point where you can forgive a certain mixed morality to Wade’s central quest. (He wants to convince Russell that killing people, even those who’ve done you wrong, is bad, even as Wade and co. serve up an astronomical body count for our entertainment.) Flouting morals is all part of the Deadpool recipe, of course, and the sequel recaptures more than enough of the first film’s impish spirit to provide a big, raucous, bloody good time.

SOURCE: BMD

Deadpool’s massive success was in large part due to its irreverence for its own genre, its willingness to take shots, some raunchier than others, at superhero flicks in general. However, it didn’t really offer an alternative to what it was insulting; nor was it distinctly better than its targets at the things it made fun of them for. Deadpool 2 is more ambitious. It doesn’t just dare to make fun of the genre — it does so while showing off what actually makes a good superhero film. The result is a superhero movie so tightly made and brilliantly entertaining that even Deadpool himself would have trouble finding fault with it. [4.5/5]

The film's more serious moments drag a bit - we don't need a Deadpool with emotional issues any more than we'd need a Batman who does slapstick. And Deadpool's friend Weasel has definitely worn out his welcome — almost as quickly as has T.J. Miller, the guy who plays him. But this is still a fast, fun romp. And here's a tip — although every die-hard superhero fan stays for the post-credits scenes, nobody should even think of missing these. The last few minutes in this film are the funniest Marvel moments ever.

SOURCE: New York Daily News

Some of the jokes — particularly a scene where Deadpool rhymes off his favourite comic book appearances of a certain surprise villain — are amusing. Ditto an opening credits sequence that is accompanied by Celine Dion’s Ashes and riffs on the Bond films. The film also makes up plenty of ground with an excellent post-credits scene that — despite me not liking this instalment — makes me optimistic for what a part three could look like.

I have to hand it to Reynolds and co – they really pulled off a good DEADPOOL sequel and managed to improve on the original in a real way. I had a much better time with this one than I did on the first, and some of the gags, including an amazing mid-credits sequence (that I hope won’t be spoiled), are all-timers for the genre. It’s hard not to imagine DEADPOOL fans not being utterly thrilled with this.

SOURCE: JoBlo
 


Invariably, there’s a bit less electricity to Reynolds’ audience-addressing antics, since such rule-breaking has now become the franchise rule. It’s thus a testament to the star’s charisma that nothing about this second go-round feels the least bit stale. Through it all, Reynolds’ Marvel motor-mouth grows up a little bit (quite literally, in one stunning CGI scene) while remaining a brash, belligerent badass with a heart of gold. Those who can’t stand him won’t find much to change their minds in Deadpool 2. The rest of you, however, will no doubt appreciate his maximum effort.

Although perhaps a bit long, Deadpool 2 doesn’t really overstay its welcome. It does what a sequel should do: it expands the world of the original, adds new characters to the mix, and--as unlikely as it sounds--develops the protagonist in interesting new ways. Not all the jokes land, but many of them do, and clearly Leitch and company are working with more money, a broader variety of locales, better visual effects, and a star out to prove that the long-in-the-making first film wasn’t just a one-and-done deal. Surprisingly we didn’t hear any cracks about sequels that suck, perhaps because Reynolds, Leitch, and the rest know that this one doesn’t. [4/5]

Deadpool 2 is a more than worthy successor and, in many places, is often considerably better than its predecessor. If you loved the original, then you should love this one even more as it takes Wade Wilson to the highest of highs before bringing him back down to the lowest of lows. It's a much funnier, more brutal sequel that somehow manages to contain just the same amount of heart and will leave you laughing from start-to-finish, making it one of the most enjoyable cinematic experiences you'll have this summer. I mean, it's basically an X-Men movie on cocaine, so how could you not have a good time? Highly recommended.

To really appreciate “Deadpool 2” you have to have seen the original and probably every other Marvel superhero film, too. And be up on pop culture, from Cher to Broadway musicals. (It’s a good thing there’s no quiz at the end.) Speaking of ends, don’t embarrass yourself by getting up to leave when it seems to be over. And get ready to happily sit through “Deadpool 3,” too.

I have a feeling audiences will love this movie more than critics, as it should. I bring this up with the way Infinity Wars RT score was. Not saying critics didnt like it by any means the majority did but the ones who didnts complaints were a bit ridiculous for what the movie was. I feel the same will happen with Deadpool 2. Both made for the fans. (Not the way Dc says for the fans, not trying to throw shade but that is what they say)

Definitely seems like there are things I wouldn't like about this one but it sounds really good! I'm not as excited for the sequel as I was the first (probably because I put all of my emotional investments in Black Panther and Infinity War) and I may not watch it at the cinema if I can't find the time but I would like to see it. I'm glad Reynolds and co. delivered a good CBM.

Ant-Man & the Wasp, you're up!

Most things about the movie look and sound good, but somehow I'm still not feeling it. Went to see the first DP opening day and brought a bunch of friends, all long planned, but for this one my plans are more like "maybe I'll catch this sometime next week?!". Don't know what it is...
Kumkani
Kumkani - 5/15/2018, 1:30 AM
@Kyos - I think it boils down to the novelty factor wearing off a bit (without much reinvention being done, which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

For me it's that plus just how much more I was excited and invested in BP and IW and how much both of those films really delivered (but I don't know if you were for both) which I think has caused me to not care that much about other CBMs.

I'm debating whether I'll see it at the cinema too, as well as Ant-Man & the Wasp. But for some reason I am very curious and a tiny bit excited for Aquaman. I also couldn't care less about Venom, Dark Phoenix and New Mutants.

I expected this kind of vocal noise since both of them are so close, but is still hard to me to understand why some people like to be like this.

Yeah, i mean the 3 movies offer you different plates, flavors and that's why i feel is so great, there's a bit for everybody but damn some people just love to compare salsa to soup.

@MrBillCipher - The comparison made me quickly skim through the infinity war reviews on rtZ the New Yorker one is utter trash. The author tries to use language in creative ways, but he completely misses the point of the film and comes across as a douche. Sorry, very off topic, just needed a small rant. I’m all for people having different opinions on things, it’s what makes life interesting, but then there’s just trying to be a tit.

Anyway!! These reviews sound good! I enjoyed the first one a lot the first time I saw it. Slightly less the second time for some reason.
Still a good movie, hopefully I enjoy this one! As long as they keep the character engaging and keep the substance from the first one there.

They’re superhero movies and Deadpool is also a hybrid spoof.

Comparisons are only natural. Not to mention IW only came out three weeks ago and shares a leading star.
