Deadpool 2: DOA




In the beginning, aka 2016, there was Deadpool, the action-movie protagonist who proclaimed "I may be super, but I'm no hero."

The movie was a mega box office smash. And in the end we were forewarned when he said, "Till next time." So now we have Deadpool 2, the vastly inferior sequel. It's everything the original movie was, but way, way less. Less funny. Less involving. A lot less interesting.

But It still has Ryan Reynolds as the smart-alecky anti-hero in top-to-toe red spandex. And he's still far more appealing than he was as the lead in a musical (La La Land), who couldn't sing or dance. So don't blame him for this dud. As Deadpool tells us in the remake, "That's just lazy writing."
