Thoughts
You know what you're getting into with a Deadpool film - that intensely meta, self-aware nonsense packed with references and jokes that are impossible to keep up with, but also managing to fit in some semblance of a recognisable superhero story with a satisfying conclusion.
It's hard not to like these films, although I don't think I enjoyed this one quite so much as the first - perhaps because the element of surprise had gone. And I had two minor quibbles with it. The first being that I really don't remember Deadpool being quite so indestructible, perhaps that's just my brain but ripping in half wasn't the most pleasant thing I've seen.
Also, if you don't take yourself seriously as a film, at all, for even a single moment, then it's hard for me to buy in to the more emotional moments. I'm not letting my guard down Deadpool, you're not fooling me.
But it doesn't matter, because for every quibble, there's a moment of genius that more than makes up for it. Keep it up, Deadpool!
