Deadpool 2 - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

Although I might prefer the first one, this is still pretty awesome. Picture quality was not as reference quality as the first, but still looked fantastic.

This was a great move with Deadpool as the final hero. Excellent special effects and even better storyline to see. You'll cheer for Deadpool and all the hero's!

Deadpool 2 is right up there with the first movie... in fact, the extended cut comes awfully close to topping it! Deadpool isn't for everyone (especially kids :-) ), but these movies really resonate with my sense of humor. This sequel also injects a bit of drama and pathos that I absolutely did not expect, but it is actually really effective (and thankfully still tempered with Deadpool's unique brand of levity). The supporting characters are excellent, too - both those returning from the original as well as those introduced here. Josh Brolin's Cable steals almost every scene he is in, as the world-weary no-BS straight man foil to Deadpool. But I'd be remiss to not also give a shout-out to Domino, who edges in some great lines and action as well. If you hated the first Deadpool, then you probably won't have much love for this one... but if you enjoyed the first, I think you'll find this one a worthy successor.

While not as tightly knit together as its predecessor, Deadpool 2 is a fun time. The movie suffers from its lower budget, stuffing too many characters in, and barely scratching the surface of the character Cable. The largest disappointment comes from the fairly average action sequences. The director of John Wick picks up this entry and yet only a handful of action scenes really flow and stand out the way the entire movie of John Wick does. That said, there are plenty of jokes that land well and Deadpool himself continues to play off of the rest of the cast in brilliant ways. The main focus of the story is also well done, but perhaps leaves a lot of the characters wanting for time. Unfortunately, this could not be fixed without extending the length far beyond the scope of what Deadpool 2 wants to be. While the movie itself is not quite the full on hit that Deadpool's first outing was, the movie is certainly a treat on 4K Blu-Ray. The package comes with both the theatrical and the extended cut of the movie on 4K Blu-Ray and regular Blu-Ray formats. The 4K version showcases a clear improvement in fine detailing and coloring over the Blu-Ray version. It's not as clear as the jump from SD to HD was, however if you are on the fence about 4K it is one of the movies I would suggest checking out to see if you deem the format worth it.

Often what works best in one film works least in its sequel. Everyone involved in this project clearly dodged that bullet. The movie was fabulously entertaining. There is absolutely no question that the script was written specifically for Ryan Reynolds. Only Ryan Reynolds could pull off that type of humor in those situations. It was very entertaining but certainly not something for the teenage and younger crowd.
