![]() The other part that bugged me were the after credit scenes. The story felt average and by the end I still just wanted him to die due to lack of deeper character development and rehashed shock value. I laughed some more and appreciated all the one liners, but it just felt devoid of the magic of the first. ![]() So after a second helping of Deadpool 2, this time some 15 minutes more of it, I find myself feeling much the same as I did with my initial theatrical outing. In other words not too much really is changed or noticeable in my opinion. This Super Duper Cut was originally screened at San Diego Comic-Con this year and includes a cut montage of Deadpool trying to commit suicide in various ways, an extended sequence in the X-Mansion, and alternate versions of jokes that were not chosen for the film’s theatrical version. So needless to say I was looking forward to a second viewing of this one especially now that it exists as an extended cut too. Boom! And as I stated up above already the critics and fans loved this one. It more than quintupled its budget at the box office (minus marketing of course) making it one of the highest-grossing films of 2018, the third highest grossing R-rated one and also the third highest-grossing of the X-Men series. Needless to say Deadpool 2 was a bonafide cash cow for the studio. In our sequel here Deadpool not only seeks vengeance, but also forms the X-Force team to protect a young mutant with fiery powers from the time-traveling soldier known as Cable (Brolin). Miller, Brianna Hildebrand and Jack Kesy. Reynolds stars as our mercenary hero with a mouth alongside Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, T.J. This one is very much a direct sequel to the first film and is directed by David Leitch from a screenplay written by Rhett Rheese, Paul Wernick and even Ryan Reynolds. I really hope I’m wrong about that, but I digress about my disdain of Disney’s takeover of Fox here. Sad to say, but with Disney’s takeover this could very well be the last Rated-R X-Men film we ever see. That’s a whole lotta D in a surprisingly small package!” Let’s get started!ĭeadpool 2 is the eleventh installment in Fox’s X-Men film series. The Deadpool 2 Super Duper Cut gives you even more of everyone’s favorite red-spandexed superhero now with 15 minutes of brand-new action and jokes lovingly inserted throughout. “If your second time wasn’t enough, your second, second time will blow you away. Everybody else loved it so why didn’t I? Low and behold Fox’s marketing had a disclaimer for me, which I’ll sum up here. Were my expectations too high? That’s what I was hoping to prove given this 4K UHD review of Deadpool 2 marks my second viewing of it. It was not as memorable as the first film was to me, which I put on a pedestal. The sole reason, however, I’m not flipping doing cartwheels over it all is because I just think of the film as average. So with that train of thought I’m very honored to be covering the second. Deadpool 2 should be a happy review for me considering the very first 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray I bought back in 2016 way before I even had a set up was the first Deadpool movie.
