Storyline/Character [Character developments,] Performances, Action, Comedy and Art: these components all combine in one way or another; Wade Wilson/Deadpool [Ryan Reynolds] is back. On his travels he comes across Dopinder [Karan Soni,] Al [Leslie Uggams,] the X-Men Piotr "Peter" Nikolayevich Rasputin/Colossus [Stefan Kapicic voice,] Ellie Phimister/Negasonic Teenage Warhead [Brianna Hildebrand] and her partner Yukio [Shioli Kutsuna,] Russell Collins/Firefist [Julian Dennison,] Cable [Josh Brolin,] Domino [Zazie Beetz] and Cain Marko/Juggernaut [voiced by Ryan Reynolds.] Then after all of that he gets to spend these peaceful, priceless and precious moments in bracing his fiancee Vanessa [Morena Baccarin] before he goes back to work and for a friendly heads up there are two ending scene or sequence.

The pacing is similar to the previous film title where we have Wilson/Deadpool[Ryan Reynolds] breaking the-fourth-wall, narration and doing this catch up thing, but in this instalment it feels like they compact it to put more variety; Buck: "You know what "fine" stands for, Wade? ****** up, insecure, needy, and emotional. According to the..." [pause] Wilson: "Kübler-Ross. Buck:"According to the Kübler-Ross model, denial is just one of the five stages of grief." Wilson: "Jesus Christ, Buck! No more speaking lines for you." Or Wilson look behind you and you will see them or dubstep [when this gets referenced most of the time] this song track kicks in or Wade/Deadpool point something out before it happens or Cable rewinds things. So as you can read there is plenty of movement here including the enthusiastic nature of this sequel moving in this film anyway.

The general character developments; they have been either been developed given more depth, the newbies slot in perfectly and lesbian character developments; you know it is 2018 when this sequel was released and it is progressive, I just wish other projects used this kind of approach; you know okay you are of the same sex or politely whatever moving on as it should be in 2018 or 2021. Performances; they slotted back into where they picked up their on-screen chemistry including the newcomers they just got into this sequel and bring themselves to the table.

Wilson and Collins or Wilson mutant vs. Cable; we have these two doing combat over Collins; they are literally bringing down the house, well to be more precise this mutant detention centre known as the Ice Box; where on apprehending these mutants they have these highly sophisticated collars named Power-dampening collar and it does exactly what it says; it suppresses the mutant gene. Cable breaks in to this location with this very not subtle approach with the intent to complete his mission, but after looking up the cell number of his target; he fails because he wasn't there; there is enough background information.

So we have in this sequence lots being said like comic book references either Marvel/MCU or DC/the DCEU or the Worlds of DC or whatever they want to call it nowadays, but in this film you are looking for the reference "DC Universe" and Wilson takes a very painful looking landing to run interference from high up so Cable can't get a shot off to hit his target [maybe Wilson should have considered a career in the NFL as a defensive player instead of joining the special forces.]

We even have a James Bond style opening to this film complete with a James Bond worthy Soundtrack; Ashes by Céline Dion. But this opening has a Wilson/Deadpool interpretation this is highly imaginative and a treat for the eyes, likewise the same can be said for anything to do with the crossing between two worlds [the living and the not.]

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; this sequel is just another exciting period in the life of Wade/Deadpool, so the only problem I see now for Wade/Deadpool is if Disney choose to sanitise him which this is speculation on my part but valid point nonetheless; but this is not a character that you can tone down in the slightest or the surrounding universe they have built for him. Or they could do a running joke in the next instalment by having a counter at the bottom of the screen of how many times they bleep and when they reach 100 adult words [Wade/Deadpool gets fed up with the bleeper,] they could stop whatever they are doing and perform a musical number entitled "We give zero ***** about The House of Mouse!" Involving the entire cast in this musical number and then go back to the point in the film, but because of this musical number they have broken the bleeper so we go back to how a Wade/Deadpool film should be in all its glory. Finally this film has Awards credited to its name Won 6; for an example; Golden Schmoes Awards 2018; Golden Schmoes; Best Comedy Film. 52 Nominations; for an example American Cinema Editors, USA 2019; Eddie; Best Edited Feature Film - Comedy Craig Alpert Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir Dirk Westervelt.
