Deadpool 2 (4K UHD Plus Digital Download) [Blu-ray] [2018]

"Deadpool 2" delivers exactly what fans loved about the first film—hilarious irreverence, over-the-top action, and a surprising amount of heart. Ryan Reynolds is in peak form as the titular anti-hero, blending razor-sharp wit with genuine emotional moments. The sequel ups the ante with a more expansive story, introducing memorable new characters like Josh Brolin’s gruff and time-traveling Cable, and Zazie Beetz’s incredibly lucky Domino, who steals every scene she’s in. The humor is relentless, with meta-references, fourth-wall breaks, and absurd gags that range from genius to gloriously juvenile. However, the film doesn’t shy away from emotional beats, exploring themes of family, redemption, and loss in ways that feel surprisingly impactful amidst all the chaos. The action sequences are spectacular and creatively choreographed, though some might find the pacing uneven as it juggles its comedic and emotional tones. The supporting cast, including the expanded X-Force team, adds fresh energy, even if not everyone gets their moment to shine (looking at you, Peter). Overall, "Deadpool 2" is a wildly entertaining ride that stays true to its irreverent roots while adding just enough depth to keep it fresh. If you loved the first movie, this sequel is a must-watch.

Fun movie! My kids said I rented the wrong one, but they enjoyed it anyway lol

Deadpool 2 was everything I hoped for and more. The humor is nonstop—sarcastic, over-the-top, and perfectly in line with Deadpool’s wild personality. The action scenes are fast, creative, and super entertaining from start to finish. What surprised me most was the emotional depth. Between all the jokes and chaos, the movie actually has a strong storyline about family, teamwork, and redemption. The new characters add so much personality, and the chemistry within the X-Force team makes it even more fun to watch.

New to Deadpool here, and I have to say it was a good watch, but I found it was not as funny as first or 3rd one.

The emergence of the Marvel juggernaut caused me to have an interesting observation - a shockingly high percentage of people in my life seem to have an interest in Marvel stuff. Be it comic books or TV shows, there's apparently been this large following for years that's getting drawn out into the light by way of the blockbuster movie. Well, I'm not in that crowd, so the movies have always been more of an oddity for me. A couple of the X-Men movies were ok. The Avengers and Iron Man were fine, too. Deadpool was the first movie where I felt that the sensibilities of the movie were well aligned with my own. If you're reading this you are already familiar with the Deadpool character. The first movie was funny - sophmoric, of course, but with flashes of more textured humor. I wouldn't quite say there's something for everyone, but I think it's pretty accessible to most. I appreciated the references and call-backs to absurdities of the Marvel universe. I enjoyed the first movie. The only real question for people like me: "If I liked the first movie, will I like this one?" After hearing about some of the production difficulties in the making of Deadpool 2 (change in directors, I think), I figured that the movie may be in trouble. When the movie came out, it firmly fell into the category of "I'll see it when it's streaming", despite friends and coworkers telling me that it was entertaining. You see, as Marvel fans, they were not to be trusted. Things I liked: 1.) this movie wasn't a substantial departure from the first effort, in style or substance. The story is not special in any way, but the dialogue remains clever enough to hold interest. Though, if you are put off by double entendres, this is not the movie for you 2.) Deadpool 2 uses secondary characters in a way that was missing in the first movie. Sure, it's a title role movie, but supporting actors can bring a lot to the table. To be clear, the acting is just fine... there will be no end-of-year awards, but it's good for the genre. Ryan Reynolds did a good job, and it's hard to imagine who (and how) someone would act the part better. After that, Zazie Beetz is a scene stealer... she's excellent in Atlanta, and she's a bright spot in this movie. Morena Baccarin is fun to look at, and helps to add a little depth to the proceedings. Josh Brolin surprises as Cable, and Julian Dennison contributes a different type of energy. 3.) visually the movie does some interesting things, though mostly in CGI (for obvious reasons) What I didn't like: 1.) it's only the second movie, and it's already REALLY formulaic. The saving grace is that the cast made this distinctive enough to have the movie stand on its own 2.) the pacing isn't great. All of the criticisms are subjective, of course, but I didn't think the time budget was allocated wisely across the various "acts" of the movie. 3.) it's possible that this is just an artifact of Deadpool being the Marvel character for the casual viewer, but it doesn't feel like they're building this part of the franchise toward anything. It's not that it's really a problem, per se, but it is difficult to see how they will be able to sustain viewer interest in subsequent movies. Wow. I didn't mean to write all of that. In my opinion, if you liked the first movie, you will probably like the second one too. If you are looking for an excuse to see more of Zazie Beetz, then this is worth watching.

Great disc presentation. My Friends were very happy with the gift. Cable and his watch are needed to fix the timeline.

Plays well, good quality and condition it arrived in, no complaints!

Love the Deadpool series
