Critics Consensus

Though it threatens to buckle under the weight of its meta gags, Deadpool 2 is a gory, gleeful lampoon of the superhero genre buoyed by Ryan Reynolds' undeniable charm.

I don't think the second film is terrible, I did find it quite dull.

You know when you first see a meme that's fresh, still funny? Now, think about when you see that same meme after 4 months worth of riffing....that's Deadpool 2.

Vocal

[A] huge, bombastic satire of superhero films, but never reaches the effortless hilarity of its predecessor. Sluggish plotting, overlong gags, and overstuffed characterisation mean this film tries to pack in too much at the cost of too little substance.

The Cinema Spot

It is okay to be angry, but such an emotion must not be taken out on oneself or others via harmful actions. Such is the case with our current events, and we should ensure that we do not let our gifts go to waste and should go towards a good cause.

Rated: 8.5/10

Keith & the Movies

“Deadpool 2” caters to a big audience, most of whom have no problem gorging themselves on what amounts to cinematic junk food. But if you’re hungry for something with a slight bit of substance, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

It's not too bad and it does pull on the heartstrings but some bits feel a bit rushed and not fully thought through.

Bigger, bloodier, and just as self-aware, Deadpool 2 doubles down on the meta-humor and mayhem that made the original a hit—though not all of its jokes hit with the same precision. Ryan Reynolds once again delivers a pitch-perfect performance as the foul-mouthed antihero, bringing his signature mix of sarcasm, heart, and ultraviolence to a sequel that’s equal parts absurd and oddly touching. With the introduction of Josh Brolin’s gruff, time-traveling Cable and Zazie Beetz’s effortlessly cool Domino, the film expands its cast in smart, crowd-pleasing ways. The action set pieces are bigger and flashier, but the emotional beats sometimes get lost in the chaos. Still, beneath the nonstop jokes and explosions, Deadpool 2 manages to find moments of surprising heart—particularly in its exploration of loss, friendship, and redemption. Verdict: A fun, frenzied follow-up that doesn’t quite match the freshness of the first, but still packs plenty of laughs, limbs, and lovable lunacy.
