One of the main reasons we all liked the first Deadpool (2016) was because the movie didn’t take itself too seriously. Disney/Marvel did the same thing with Thor: Ragnarok (2017), which ended up making the movie a top-five entry in all Disney/Marvel Cinematic Universe releases so far.
In addition to not taking itself seriously, Deadpool had enough gore, cool characterization, amazing actors, and the awesome charm of Ryan Reynolds.
The Deadpool character’s comedic tone is based on his comics, where silly and funny meet the Merc with a Mouth. Deadpool is aware he’s a comic character, and you, the audience, are watching him perform, so he tries to deliver the best.

The only downside to this movie is something Disney/Marvel didn’t allow to happen in Thor: Ragnarok—it becomes too silly for its own good. It’s so unserious that it might make you, the viewer, tired. That said, I enjoyed myself while watching this movie, and you’ll love the awesome Celine Dion intro song with Deadpool’s performance—I guarantee it.

The plot thickens... as we continue from Deadpool (2016), which isn’t as good as this movie.

Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) faces a tragic event in his life that almost turns him into a loyal X-Men rule follower. But since he’s Deadpool, it doesn’t take long before he switches back to his anti-hero ways. All this happens while he’s trying to protect a 14-year-old named Russell.

In the future, Cable (Josh Brolin) is seen turning his device, and he ends up in 2018 looking for Russell. Russell and Wade (Deadpool) were in the same cell in a facility where collars are placed on mutants’ necks to suppress their powers.
Cable breaks into this facility looking for Russell and tries to kill him, but Deadpool stops him. In the end, Deadpool prevents Russell from being killed and helps him escape the facility.

Knowing from his encounter with Cable that he’ll need a team to stop him, Deadpool decides to form a team called X-Force. The X-Force starts off with a lot of people but ends up being just Deadpool and Domino (a mutant with the ability to manipulate luck).
Now, the X-Force must save Russell and stop Cable—or is it the X-Force and Cable who must find a way to stop Russell and Juggernaut?

The movie is cool, and I’ll be looking forward to a part three. Like its predecessor, which broke many box office records for R-rated movies, I hope this one does too. The mid-credit scene in this movie is also something I’d advise you to stick around for when the movie is over.
