Led by Ryan Reynolds razor-sharp sardonic delivery, Deadpool 2 successfully builds upon the formula of the fist movie to make for a highly entertaining slab of bloodletting violence and gut-busting laughs.

It takes a considerable amount of skill to create a hardcore comic book movie of the Deadpool variety. Sure, the violence aspect is easy to duplicate, as many an R-rated bloodbath has proven. Yet to combine it with the kind of comedic zeal and charismatic turns found here? Now that is a rarity! For proof, just watch the Kick-Ass movies.

It comes with a round of applause to announce that not only does Deadpool 2 successfully live up to the expectations placed by its surprise box-office hit predecessor, but it does no without sacrificing the bloody and bloody hilarious tone that made the first movie a hit. With most superhero/comic-book titles firmly insulated in the PG-13 sphere, this bodes well for older fans of the genre looking for more gore and bedlam in their superhero flicks.

From the cuff that is exactly what Deadpool 2 delivers, as ex-Special Forces mercenary turned motormouthed mutant anti-hero Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) travels the globe eliminating the worst criminal enterprises to stain humanity. When his exploits come back to haunt him in devastating fashion, a distraught Deadpool is thrust into the care of the X-Men. His first mission: to save abused and dangerous young mutant Russell (Julian Dennison) from both himself and revenge seeking, time travelling mutant Cable (Josh Brolin.)

Directed by David Leitch (Atomic Blonde) and written by Zombieland duo Rheet Reese and Paul Wernick, along with star Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool 2 successfully melds all its various elements to make for an incredibly entertaining slice of adult-driven superhero spectacular. With a larger budget in tow, Leitch and his crew successfully stage their action sequences on a bigger canvas upon which the blood-spilling, bone-crunching, curse-riddled slapstick tinged violence wrecks entertaining havoc.

One sequence where Deadpool and a motley crew of mutant hero wannabes parachute out of a plane to unexpectedly gruesome results, exemplifies the madcap superhero slapstick that this most anti of anti-hero movies has to offer. If the character of Deadpool is all about delivering bang for your buck, then Deadpool 2 delivers a bag of bloody, filthy and highly entertaining riches.
