Deadpool 2 review: stupid movie for stupid people (tedious rubbish not recommended for watching)
Critic of Deadpool 2, directed by David Leitch and starring Ryan Reynolds in the role of Wade Wilson and Josh Brolin in the role of Cable. In theaters since May 18. The loudmouth mercenary returns from the hand of Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 2, a film as irreverent as its predecessor in which also incorporates new characters from the draft of Cable, Domino or Fire Fist.
Again, his unselfconscious and self-conscious humor leads him to perform some of the funniest and most unexpected jokes that already begin in the initial credits and do not cease in the endings, with a final sequence directly hilarious and, yes, surely the best that we have seen to date as anticipated by the first American critics.
Wade Wilson plans to create a family with his beloved Vanessa when the tragedy breaks into his home. Although he decides to break everything, we already know that Deadpool, aka Slaughter has an unprecedented power of self-healing, so that he will have no choice but to continue doing good even if reluctantly, going after the trail of Cable, a traveler in the I decide to put an end to Russell, a mutant whose powers are falling apart.
To save the kid, Deadpool decides to create an elite squadron called X-Force consisting of Domino (Zazie Beetz), Broken Star (Lewis Tan), Negasonic (Brianna Hildebrand), Zeitgeist (Bill Skarsgård), Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna) , Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), Vanishing (we can not tell you who he is), Bedlam (Terry Crews) and Peter (Rob Delaney).
The movie Deadpool 2 despite everything and having had a shoot in which secrecy has been the key to preserve the secrets of production and avoid the spoilers, can not avoid falling into some topics of the genre of superheroes and that is something new: there is a personal drama that activates the trigger of the action that we have already seen many times, although as expected, Reynolds turns the expectations of the audience very soon.
Part of the mockery that makes this drama is in the very conception of the soundtrack in which the iconoclastic theme played by Céline Dion "Ashes" becomes a metalinguistic joke more in which the famous performer laughs at herself and of his role as a dramatic icon of the 90s and the first 2000 (do not forget that his is the main theme of Titanic, for example). Do not miss the video clip because it is pure gold:
The effort, by the way, has been worth it: there are many surprises that have not been revealed (new hilarious characters, cameos, that great casting to recruit the X-Force ...) so there is much to enjoy in the cinema armchair.
The director of this superhero movie is David Leitch, creator of some of the best and most iconic recent action films among which we can tell John Wick or Atomic. Here does not lower the bar or half a millimeter, although it is true that there is a greater reliance on CGI for the creation of the craziest choreography. The character asks for it, so that it works reasonably well.
Where the film lowers the tone is in the sexual content, something that is very much appreciated. As well expressed Reynolds and Brolin in his visit to Madrid, "in the drafting process, Deadpool 2 has been like in the first. Each one poses different gags and the others improve it. The tone we have found, we rarely disagree, but there are things that we have had to edit in postproduction. As always there are three cuts in three different phases of work: writing, shooting, postpro ".
"There are things that I would love to throw to the world, but they could put us in jail and there are things that are on the edge ..." commented the protagonist but also producer and co-writer of the film. Here you have part of the interview:
In this sequel, his character, of course, distributes wax in all directions: the X-Men and especially Wolverine are still in their sights and have some sketches that are pure glory, but there is also tow for DC, Disney and even the factory Marvel ... And that there have been jokes that it seems that they have not passed the final cut ... Regarding a possible crossover with Wolverine, eye, that even Hugh Jackman has already given a "formal" response.
In short, the movie Deadpool 2 has lost a tad of freshness: now the audience already knows the character, his outings of tone, his ability to break the fourth wall, his cynicism ... so not so surprising, but the script continues to have hilarious and memorable moments. In general, it relies on children like Karan Soni as the taxi driver Dopinder or the new faces that populate the screen, although Fist of Fire (Julian Dennison) is not one of its strengths.
Deadpool 2 lowers the tone of sexual jokes and raises the amplifier of violence. Altogether it is a good sequel that anticipates at least a couple of films more centered in the same universe. It works well despite some slowdowns and perpetuating some narrative stereotypes.
