On Bluray and Digital this week from director David Leitch,
Marvel and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment comes a man who needs
no introduction other than the words DEADPOOL 2.
So I thought about how to start this Bluray review and all I
could think of was – GO EFFIN GET THIS MOVIE IMMEDIATELY! But the reader
deserves a little better than that so here we go!
Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is back as Deadpool and he is
happier than ever with gal-pal Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). On their anniversary
Wade has a little something planned except his mercenary work decides to follow
him home and bring mayhem along with them.
Sending his life in a tailspin and ready to do his worst, it
isn’t until Colossus (Stefan Kapicic) brings Wade back to the Xavier Mansion
A few bad fighting choices puts both Deadpool and Firefist
in a place called the ‘Icebox’ that stores mutants. That actually makes it
easier for future arrival Cable (Josh Brolin) to find his target – which isn’t
Deadpool much to his disappointment – but the young Russell.
Deciding that he must help the young boy, Deadpool puts
together a group he calls X-Force and begins accepting applications with buddy
Weasel (T.J. Miller). Their goal is to find the prison truck transport and get
Russell back. What they don’t know is that Russell finds a friend in
Juggernaut, who has his own issues with super heroes.
Cable finally tells Deadpool why he wants the boy and that
he must be stopped before reaching the orphanage or there is no turning back
with a future fate sealed. Now Deadpool, Cable and his new recruit lucky Domino
(Zazie Beetz) face off with Russell and Juggernaut but he is too strong.
Thankfully Colossus and Warhead decide that Deadpool needs their help and the
battle for good and evil begins.
It’s all being done the Deadpool way!
Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool has made damn sure that no
one else, ever, will be able to remake-reimagine-rethink-rediscover or “re”
anything else someone might want to do in ten years. He has made this character
completely iconic and absolute in the minds of everyone who loves this
smart-mouthed-one-liner-wit-o-rama. It is no big secret to anyone that I’m not
a huge super hero person, I mean I see the films but then it’s like ‘next!’ to
me. Not DEADPOOL – this is the number one character I looked forward to seeing
in DEADPOOL circa 2016 and it is like Christmas morning opening the cellophane
wrapper for DEADPOOL 2: Super Duper $@%!#& Cut. There is nothing, and I
mean NOTHING to complain about in this film and its Reynolds fault completely.
I’m sure he won’t mind taking the blame for this one. He gives this ole lady
plenty to laugh about and that’s everything when your life clock is ticking
away.
Brolin as Cable has me a little perplexed. Jumping between
two comic book characters just isn’t something I’m thrilled about. I’m still
not over Chris Evans going from his blaze-days to Captain America
Dennison as Russell is a kid on a mission and although he
has every reason to be pretty p.o.’d, ending up with Deadpool in an icebox
might be a tad worse. He is going through his terrible teens and just happens
to have fist that can destroy anything in its path. Then again I know toddlers
who have that same super power that Deadpool might be interested in meeting.
Beetz as Domino doesn’t take Wade or Deadpool seriously
because she’s all about proving that luck favors her own brand of coolness. She’s
smooth and doesn’t ruffle easily. Hildebrand returns as Negasonic Teenage
Warhead with a few surprises for her favorite DP dude. Miller as Weasel gets a
moment or two to shine with his favorite stool warmer.
Kapicic returns as the understanding and patient Colossus
and I think he is the only one that truly gets Wade/Deadpool. So much so that
time and time again he cuts the skin-tight-red-wonder considerable slack.
Baccarin as Vanessa is back to bring positive reinforcement and a good lap
dance to her favorite super hero.
A serious shout out to Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, the one
person who knows that Wade is a miserable human being sometimes yet accepts him
just the same. Blind Al completes Wade/Deadpool. She might not be able to see
but I’d let her defend me anytime, provided I can point the gun.
Also, Karan Soni as Dopinder finally gets the opportunity to
show what he’s made of – taxi and all. Shioli Kutsuna makes an appearance as
Yukio who has the cutest exchanges with Deadpool that even had me grinning a
time or two. Eddie Marsan is the butt-head-master of Essex Orphanage and we all
know a butt-head-master who looks like Eddie Marsan or am I reaching to far
back into my childhood.
Let’s give a round of applause to Terry Crews as Bedlam,
Lewis Tan as Shatterstar, Bill Skarsgard as Zeitgeist, Rob Delaney as Peter and
Brad Pitt as Vanisher. Also, who can forget the amazing Jack Kesy as Black Tom
Cassidy.

I think I’ve made if fairly clear that I am a huge Deadpool
fan and if you thought I’d be giving any spoilers out well then I’m happy to
disappoint you. From the moment the film begins to its very, very, VERY end
(this is my way of saying stay through the credits), Reynolds and his band of
merry misfits provide such a good time that a second, third, fourth…infinite
viewing is going to be required.
Laughing just as much as in the theatre, I can say that I still
missed jokes and I’m fairly certain that can mean only one thing – watching it
again (and again etc.). I do know that I couldn’t catch my breath most of the
time which means not only was I having a good time but if I did drop dead I
would be alright if it was Deadpool’s fault.
So leave the other “superheroes” to fly away in a wind of
feathers (not sure what that was but if you saw that ‘other’ movie you’ll
understand) and gather up everyone who needs to laugh themselves silly and make
it a pizza-ordering-beer-drinking night with people who are as twisted as we
are for DEADPOOL 2: Super Duper $@%!#& Cut.
Have an extraordinary experience and remember he’s only here
to show you a good time and by Blind Al I’m going to let him – again and again.
In the end – experience your second time like it was your
first!
