In 2015's Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds has everyone wishes that a Deadpool movie with Nick Fury himself could become a reality.
2 years has passed, and look what we've got: An actual "buddy-cop" movie starring Deadpool and Nick Fury with more yelling, even more cursing, and proofs that sometimes the Avengers/X-men don't gives a s**t.
Pros: Ryan Reynolds as Michael Bryce is terrific. He has given one of his best performances, on par with The Merc with a Mouth himself. Samuel L. Jackson as Darius Kincaid is also great in this movie. The chemistry between Reynolds and Jackson worked very well, and it's one of the best bromance in recent years. Élodie Yung is also great as Bryce's ex- girlfriend. Salma Hayek took me off guard because she's so funny in this movie. And Gary Oldman is fantastic as the main baddie of the movie.
This movie is directed by Patrick Hughes, who also directed the somehow not-really-fun action movie: The Expendables 3. But thankfully, he has improved in this movie, proved by how he direct his action scenes. He now handles the action scenes really well, with great camera angles and some wide shots. This movie is easily one of the funniest movie I've seen all year. There's not a single dull moment in this movie (I mean, you can't go wrong when Deadpool and Jules Winnfield is in this movie). The flashbacks, explaining the character's past is also really well directed.
Cons (Not really): Although it is great, the movie has several flaws. Some CGI explosions are easily noticeable, but I'll just give it a pass (It's from Millennium Films, most of their movies will most likely had one or two bad CGI moments). The action scenes were also more aimed towards "comedy" rather than "tension". Nearly all action scenes would start and ends with comedy, complete with not-so- tenseful music, but that's just me nitpicking.
Cons (Now this is the real deal): I felt like the female characters were underused. *SPOILER ALERT* Salma Hayek's character literally doesn't do anything other than mocking and cursing in her cell, while Élodie Yung's character is the type where she just gives this guy a mission, sits back and relax until her arrival at Am******m, and cannot do anything until the final act of the movie *SPOILER ENDS HERE*. Come on Hollywood, give us more badass female will ya. Some of the fight scenes were hard to follow because of shaky cams. And Gary Oldman's over the top bad guy performance felt out of place, as if it's a different movie.
But overall, I had a ton of fun watching this movie. It's definitely worth your time, and it's easily the funniest movie I've seen all year. Just sit back, let the curse-fest begin and have some fun.
Final Score: 8/10, for Deadpool, Nick Fury's actual personality (?), and lots (I mean lots) of profanity
