Deadpool 2 - 死侍2
Deadpool 2 (死侍2) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. The supporting cast include Morena Baccarin, Josh Brolin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, T. J. Miller, Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapičić, Karan Soni, Shioli Kutsuna, Lewis Tan, Bill Skarsgård, Terry Crews, Brad Pitt, Rob Delaney, and Hayley Sales. The film is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, but in the Fox X-Men universe. This is also the long awaited sequel to Deadpool (惡棍英雄:死侍)
Wade has decided to lead a life of fighting crime. When a boy is in need of his help, he tries to help. Wade gets into the middle of fight between the boy and a time traveling bad @$$ named Cable. Cable is looking to get the boy and Deadpool wants to save the boy. Deadpool needs help and starts his own super group, the X-Force. Armed with new superheroes at his side, they set out to save the boy from Cable. Can Wade do it?
That's the plot from the trailer. But that's not what the film is about. If I wrote about it, it would take away from your enjoyment of the movie. Deadpool kind of goes a little darker with the story with the introduction of Cable and the X-Force. But its still Wade Wilson at heart and a Ryan Reynolds film. The director of this film is David Leitch, the uncredited co-director of the first John Wick movie. And you can tell from the action that this installment's action looks way better. Especially the hand to hand combat. They even made Josh Brolin look good.
All in all, I had fun watching this film. But just like the first Deadpool, I didn't necessary enjoy watching this again. I've never re-watched Deadpool in its entirety. Just bits and pieces from TV and HBO. I suspect the same for this installment.
This film does feature quite the good looking Asians. From the Hong Kong Triads to the Japanese Triad montages, and than to Shatterstar played by Lewis Tan. They end it finally with Shioli Kutsuna who brings the "ah, how cute" moments to the film. This film had it all.
