Review: Deadpool 2

Ryan Reynolds stars in 20th Century Fox's DEADPOOL 2

For Deadpool 2, the success of its predecessor brought nothing but excitement and high expectations for the future. It wasn’t perfect picture, but Deadpool managed to stand out in the very much saturated field of comic book movies by being thoroughly entertaining and remaining authentic in a way that no one thought possible.

Blowing up an entire caravan or imploding a city block is all good fun, but doing only that without providing anything deeper does not engage the audiences on more than one level. Sicario is a different sort of action film; one that both raises the body count and asks the audience to …
