The first\u00a0Deadpool<\/a><\/em> film introduced a mainstream audience to Marvel’s naughty kid in the corner \u2013 the foul-mouthed anti-hero who has a pension for blood, while doing some good here and there. The sequel brings the red-spandexed character back for another round, upping the\u00a0\u00a0crude jokes, cringe-worthy gore, and acrobatic action, along with a more personal story that examines the struggles of the character, resulting in a worthy and incredibly-entertaining sequel.<\/p>\n

While the Deadpool franchise is a tongue-in-cheek spin on the superhero genre, this is a fun, comic-book movie after all, so it\u2019s got the big set-pieces, nod-worthy fan moments, fourth-wall breaking jokes, and Marvel character cameos. What elevates it beyond its parodying nature, though, is that, at the heart of it, there’s an introspective look at who Deadpool is, his curse of invulnerability, and the theme of finding purpose when the world around you is crumbling \u2013 and that gives the film an endearing quality.<\/p>\n
