Time To Make The Chimichangas Again With Deadpool 2

Good day my friends! Hope you are doing well these days and enjoying all the wonderful summer like weather that we are having here these days. There is something about all this nice weather that just energizes you after being cooped up all winter hiding from the snow and the cold! It is especially nice seeing as how we had a long winter this past year. But winter is done and we are reaching the end of spring here soon! With the first day of summer on the horizon towards the end of the month in June, the days just seem to be flying by. But as the summer seems to be fast approaching and the summer weather already here, summer has already been alive and well and thriving at the box office since April 27th. It started out with a bang, kept moving down the highway at a steady pace and is now on the verge to pick up a bit more speed as we head towards the month of June. This past weekend the next big movie opened at the box office fueling the summer movie car speeding down that highway as now there will be many more nitro boosts to keep that cars speedometer practically redlining. Yes this past weekend if you don't already know was the release of the long awaited sequel to the hugely successful Deadpool which broke records for a February release back in 2016 and was surpassed this past February by Black Panther. Deadpool 2 opened this past weekend to take the #1 spot atop of the summer box office earning 125.5 million dollars. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) returning in as the merc with a mouth Wade Wilson/Deadpool, Josh Brolin(Avengers:Infinity War) as Cable, Morena Baccarin(Gotham) as Vanessa, and Julian Dennison(Hunt For The Wilderpeople) as Firefist. So lets sit back, relax, break the fourth wall and make the chimichangas again as we take a look at Deadpool 2!

Ever since the first movie Wade Wilson aka Deadpool has been travelling all over the world doing what he does best.... killing bad guys! But when he fails to get one of the bad guy his work comes into his own home taking the life of the only person he truly loves his girlfriend Vanessa(Baccarin). Destraught and heartbroken Wade believes he has no reason to live anymore and tries taking his own life in true Deadpool fashion. But this proves difficult for him as his mutation does not allow him to die. Taken in by his friend Colossus to the X-Men mansion to show that he has lots to live for and a family they make him an X-Men Trainee. But when events happen at the Essex home for mutant children with a young boy who calls himself Firefist, Wade instead of dealing with the situation like an X- Men does his own thing and kills one of the orderlies for abusing the boy. Fitted with a mutant restraining collar that suppresses his powers he is taken along with Firefist to a mutant prison called the icebox. With his cancer returning and just wanting to be left alone he is ready to die to join his beloved Vanessa again. But that all changes when a part man, part machine from the future named Cable(Brolin) travels back in time to kill the boy named Firefist who had killed his family in the future. A fight ensues as Cable attempts to kill the boy but is stopped by Wade after his collar gets knocked off in the battle. Finding a purpose Wade decides that he needs to save the boy, so he assembles a group of heroes that he calls X-Force and sets out to save Firefist not only from Cable, but from himself and show him that there are people who care about him.

Does that sound great? Yeah I know you really can't tell much from that! But I have to say it from reading that and knowing what kind hilarity the character of Deadpool can make out of any situation it is better than I could describe it! Now when you do a sequel you usually run the risk of not being able to recreate the same kind of magic that was done in the first movie. And with director Tim Miller departing earlier on from creative differences and replaced by director David Leitch(John Wick 1&2) it seemed that we might not get what we saw in the first. With two completely different styles of directing we did manage to get a pretty great movie here! We didn't lose the charisma and sarcasm that Ryan Reynolds brings to the role. And with Reynolds also co-writing this script we could see his own humor stamped in the dialogue. The story was kind of like what would happen if the Terminator came back and met Deapool instead of Sarah Connor with even a reference to that and a few other movies. They also managed to bring a little bit of heart into the character, not just making him a killing machine. But all with the brand of humor we are accustomed to after the first Deadpool. For a sequel it was well done, well written and performed. Adding Josh Brolin to the mix of Cable and Zazie Beetz as Domino created more hilarity and it showed the actors had a great chemistry on set and seemed to have a lot of fun making this movie. All in all a great movie and that is why I am giving Deadpool 2 a 8.2 on The Justin Scale Of Movies which lands it on the Pick-It List of movies to see at the theatre. So I guess that does it here for me and it is time to call it a wrap on this review. Until next time remember to get out and check out a movie at the theatre. There are hard working people who sacrifice countless hours of their time to entertain us and the least we could do is check out a movie or two at thetheatre. It is an experience that downloading or Netflix could never duplicate. As always remember to keep that popcorn freshly popped and save me a good seat because I will be seeing you at the movies!
