Wisecracking mercenary Deadpool battles the evil and powerful Cable and other bad guys to save a boy's life.
What critics thought
Deadpool 2 landed mostly well with critics, who found it funnier and more tonally consistent than the original, but a meaningful minority pushed back hard — arguing that the film's relentless meta-humor and mechanical joke-delivery actually undercut any real creative risk-taking. The gap between its strong audience enthusiasm and its more measured critical reception is worth noting.
“Deadpool 2 is wicked, dark fun from start to finish, with some twisted and very funny special effects, cool production elements [and] terrific ensemble work.”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“Deadpool 2 is just like Deadpool only more so. It's actually a fair bit better—funnier, more inventive than the 2016 smash...and more consistent in its chosen tone and style: ultraviolent screwball comedy.”
Michael Phillips·Chicago Tribune
“something ever so slightly dishonest about this character, something false about the boundaries drawn around his sadism and his rage. Deadpool 2 dabbles in ugliness and transgression, but takes no real creative risks.”
A.O. Scott·The New York Times
“A film that spits one-liners as mechanically as a tennis-ball launcher is even more tediously predictable than one with no sense of humor at all.”
David Edelstein·New York
